The property

Nestled on the outskirts of the bustling, coastal town of Whitby, just a short walk from the banks of the tranquil River Esk, rests the charming, three-bedroom holiday home of Anstis Cottage.

With private, off-road parking, a collection of well-presented living areas, and a great location close to shops, pubs and attractions, this delightful home makes a perfect base for a family or group of sharing friends seeking a relaxing, fun-filled escape on the edge of the magnificent North York Moors National Park.

After you've unpacked your belongings, make yourself at home in your lovely new dwelling, by getting to work in the aptly-equipped kitchen, housing all the appliances and utensils you'll need to rustle up delicious, home-cooked dinners.

Savour your meals as a group around the dining table for six, before you head to the sitting room to unwind as you enjoy a film or two on the TV as the evening draws on.

When sleep inevitably calls, be sure to refresh with a bath or shower on your way to hunkering down for a well-earned rest in one of the three upstairs bedrooms.

When you're ready, lace up your shoes and head out to explore what your local area has to offer.

A brief stroll from your front door will bring you to your nearest convenience stores where you can stock up on essentials, the Penny Hedge where you can tuck into some traditional pub grub, as well as the stunning, historic landmark of the Larpool Viaduct!

The town centre of Whitby is also accessible on-foot, where you'll find a treasure trove of attractions and landmarks, such as the Dracula Experience, the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, the ancient spot of Whitby Abbey, and the lush, golden sands of Whitby Beach and Sea Front.

You'll also find the Mallyan Spout Waterfall, Duck Bridge, and Captain Cook's Monument, along with many other must-visit locations on your journey through the North York Moors National Park.

Enjoy a getaway to remember in North Yorkshire at Anstis Cottage.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

WHITBY

Robin Hood's Bay 5.5 miles; Scarborough 19.3 miles; Pickering 23 miles; Guisborough 21.5 miles.

The seaside town and port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire. Ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire, the local area hosts an array of activities so you can be sure to get the best out of both the countryside and the coast. From the nearby North York Moors to its Blue Flag beaches, there's something here for everyone. Amongst its many attractions, Whitby holds a charming atmosphere, home to winding streets and hidden alleys, where you can find a wide selection of eateries and shops scattered amongst them. Take a trip to the picturesque harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun set or get involved in some whale watching or a coastal cruise to watch the creatures up close. Climb the famous 199 steps to the Whitby Abbey to immerse yourself with history, or visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum presenting historical and ethnographic exhibition about Cook himself. Close to the Robin Hood's Bay, rich in heritage, wonders and scenic spots, and in easy reach of the bustling towns of Scarborough and Middlesbrough, Whitby is a prime location for exploring all of the delights that Yorkshire has to offer.
