Walk through the whale bone archway on the West Cliff or visit the shipwreck on Saltwick Bay and look up into the cliffs to spot the smugglers’ tunnels. For those who wish to experience the wonders of this inspiring area, why not take a long, lazy walk amid the scenic beauty of the North York Moors National Park, which can be accessed by the heritage steam train winding its way through the rolling hills of heather? You can also explore quaint coastal villages such as Robin Hood’s Bay, Staithes or Runswick Bay. Take in the sights along the seafront at Filey, Scarborough or Saltburn. And if you’re a history buff, take a trip into York to soak up the culture brought by both the Romans and the Vikings. Closer to home, the town of Whitby has the long golden stretch of sandy beach, the 199 steps up to the St Mary’s Church perched on the cliff top, the boat trips and the freshly caught fish and seafood. Beach ¾ mile.
Cleveland House can be booked together with Cleveland Apartment (UK41641) accommodating up to 8/10 guests, with a lockable connecting door between the two.

Stunning house, beautifully decorated. Location is great, just a short walk downhill to harbour and town. The house is well equipped and well maintained. Beds are very comfortable and the off road parking space was very useful. Additional parking on nearby roads was easy to find. My only recommendation would be to provide fans for the bedroom on the 2nd floor. We had a very hot week and with the room being in the attic, this room was difficult to sleep in some nights, however the added bonus sofa bed helped us out in this situation.

What a beautiful house, clean and comfortable. Only a 5 to 10 minute walk to the harbour. Lovely quiet location with a great outdoor space. I would have given 5 stars instead of 4 but we were unable to use the bath due to leakage problems.
