Prepare for the day with a refreshing rinse in the shower room, grabbing your towel from the heated rail and retreating to the lavish dressing room that serves the fabulous double bedroom. Tear yourself away from this arresting abode and uncover the hidden gems of the North Yorkshire Coast and Countryside, whether it be hiking along the coast, or heading deep into the countryside on an action-packed day in the North Riding Forest Park.

Enjoy breath-taking views from Whitby Golf Club as you partake in a quick nine holes, or hop in the car and head for Robin Hood's Bay to see The Old Coastguard Station, now owned by the National Trust, and Robin Hood's Bay Museum. See the cascading waters of Hayburn Wyke waterfall, or spend the day in Scarborough with attractions such as Scarborough Castle, the Rotunda Museum and Peasholm Park all waiting to be explored. On return to the cottage, be sure to stop off at one of the many thriving pubs and delicious local restaurants for a bite to eat, or pick up a takeaway and head back to your restful cottage for a quiet evening indoors. Live unforgettable moments with your loved ones on an escape to The Counting House.

Right near every amenities you could think of. Car space is quite tight for a big car but manageable if you reverse/forward all the way up to main riad, instead of turning right or left out off car space. I would highly recommend this cottage and I'll be booking again soon.

Our only gripe was the people above sounded like they were dragging furniture about during the night!! It woke us up several times. The TV needs some instruction on both units as difficult to operate. An extra blanket/throw would have been useful as one if us is an insomniac. Parking was not a problem - we have a short wheelbase Transit Custom and just fit nicely in the parking space by backing down the road opposite as instructed.

Just for reference in order to park the best idea is to reverse down and drive up through the street opposite. We sadly hit our car on the first day trying to reverse in. All in all a great spot to stay away from the crowds and so near to all the main places to visit. The sunsets are fabulous too. We will be back to stay again!
