This wonderful, Grade II listed, Georgian mansion is now home to a handful of stylish apartments and makes a great base from which to visit the North York Moors National Park. The apartment has access to a garden shared with Apartment 8, and communal gardens. The pretty village of Ruswarp is close by with the River Esk running through it, where during the summer months, you can hire boats. The village also has an excellent butchers, shop and local pub.
One of the most popular destinations on the North Yorkshire coast is the busy working harbour of Whitby, 3 miles away, famous for its connections with the fictional character, Dracula, where the author Bram Stoker is said to have found his inspiration for the book from the abbey at Whitby.
Whitby has held several Goth weekends which are extremely popular, even with international guests. The quaint cobbled street with very interesting, independent shops to browse, leads to the 199 steps up to the abbey. Quite often you will catch the people counting them on their way to the top from where you have the spectacular abbey standing proud on the headland. Its original use in the 7th century was a Christian abbey that later became a Benedictine abbey.
The walks along the rugged clifftop form part of the 109-mile Cleveland Way Trail, and for those of you who love the great outdoors, there are fantastic walks along the clifftops to Robin Hood’s Bay and Ravenscar. If you prefer a more leisurely walk, there’s the old ’cinder track’ along the former railway line between Whitby and Scarborough, and this makes a great cycle route or a flat walking area.
The North York Moors railway runs from Whitby to Pickering, travelling across the moors on a beautiful steam train, stopping off at Goathland, the fictional village of Aidensfield in the TV programme, ’Heartbeat’. Beach 3 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant ½ mile.
Free WiFi
There are 4 external steps up to the property, with a handrail.
Inside the property there are two steps to the lounge, again with a handrail, so the property may not be suitable for those with walking difficulties.
The garden is shared.
The parking is to the rear and a sign shows which space to use.
The path to the apartment runs along the rear of the hall and the apartment is number 5 in the far corner access via 4 external steps (with a handrail).
To keep the property clean and tidy.
The property is to be left in a similar condition as you found it when you arrived.
Located in Whitby, this cottage is by the ocean. While the natural beauty of North York Moors National Park and Whitby Beach can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can check out Whitby Harbour.
Whitby Leisure Centre and Museum of Victorian Science are also worth visiting.
