Step outside your door, and you’ll find yourself amidst the spectacle of nature’s theatre, with an abundance of flora and fauna gracing your doorstep. A short stroll along the enchanting Cleveland Way footpath leads you along breathtaking clifftops, revealing panoramas that link Whitby’s magnetic charm with the neighbouring Robin Hoods Bay. The rhythmic cadence of the waves and the scent of the salty sea air accompany you on this journey of coastal exploration.
Just a leisurely 10-minute walk away lies the hidden gem of Saltwick Bay, a secluded cove where the ocean’s embrace meets the rugged shore. Here, you can lose yourself in the symphony of crashing waves and the serenade of seagulls, creating memories that linger like echoes in the sea breeze.

Indoors, the spacious open plan kitchen/dining area becomes a hub of conviviality, where culinary delights are shared, and laughter resonates. Adjacent to this is the living room, a cosy haven with glass doors that unveil a panoramic vista of the patio, the sprawling lawn, and the endless fields beyond. Ascending the stairs, the serenity continues. The spacious double bedroom, adorned with a beamed ceiling, welcomes you with an ambiance of rustic elegance. A sofa nestled beneath the beams offers a quiet corner for contemplation. An en-suite shower completes this space, where relaxation knows no bounds. A twin bedroom, equally inviting, offers its own en suite shower, ensuring every comfort for guests. Each corner of Foxglove Cottage has been meticulously designed to envelop you in an atmosphere of rustic charm and modern comfort, where every element works in harmony to create an unforgettable experience.
Beyond the confines of the cottage, the town of Whitby and its surrounding coastline stand as a canvas painted with history, culture, and natural wonders. Whitby, with its cobblestone streets and historic buildings, captures the essence of a charming coastal town, where tales of seafaring adventures echo through time. The iconic Whitby Abbey stands sentinel over the town, an awe-inspiring relic of centuries past. As the sun dips below the horizon, the coastline transforms into a dreamscape of twinkling lights, and the haunting call of seagulls carries the promise of another day of exploration.

Lovely spacious cottage, good position for Whitby and the N York Moors and coast. Really enjoyed our stay. And we hope to return.A minor point, for us it wasn't a problem, but if you cooked evening meals I think a dishwasher would be appreciated
