Set in the former Whitby Foghorn Station, Hornblower Lodge is a cosy annex apartment on the site of the original 1858 lighthouse near Whitby, North Yorkshire.
Set on a dramatic stretch of coastline and part of the Cleveland Way, it boasts enviable sea views and off-road parking.
Its single-storey layout and open-plan living space create an easy flow throughout, where soft light filters in from the garden and the gentle hum of the sea sets the tone for your stay.
Step inside to find a well-equipped kitchen ready for unhurried breakfasts, a dining area perfect for lingering over simple meals, and a sitting area warmed by an electric fire, offering a peaceful spot to unwind after exploring the coast.
The king-size bedroom provides a fitting retreat, while the bathroom, complete with a bath and shower over, offers a refreshing start or end to the day.
Outside, the garden invites you to pause and take in the far-reaching views, with the cliffside path leading directly towards Whitby Abbey in one direction and Robin Hood’s Bay in the other, placing you right on one of the region’s most iconic walking routes.
When you’re ready to explore further, Whitby awaits with its atmospheric harbour, independent shops, and the famed 199 steps rising to the abbey ruins.
A short drive brings you to the village of Robin Hood’s Bay, where winding streets and historic cottages tumble towards the sea, offering charming cafés and coastal trails.
For a change of pace, head to Sandsend, a favourite for its long beach, relaxed eateries, and scenic shoreline walks.
Whether you’re seeking coastal adventure or quiet moments by the water, Hornblower Lodge offers a wonderful base for discovering this striking corner of North Yorkshire.
