With private parking you can forget about your car for a few days and make your journeys on foot by beach – to breathtaking sands in both directions. Bustling Whitby is about an hour’s walk and craggy cliff top wanders are endless when you head north.

This beautiful dog-friendly property is the ultimate retreat by the sea. You’ll find two en suite bedrooms on the ground floor of Turnstone Cottage. The master bedroom features a comfy king-size bed and a tranquil neutral colour scheme. Ideal for younger ones, the second bedroom is a twin.

Upstairs there’s an open-plan living, dining and kitchen space. The kitchen is a beautiful dove-grey colour with black marble worktops. Equipped with modern appliances and all cookware, you’ ll be able to prepare meals easily during your visit – or indulge in fish and chips locally.

The living area has two leather sofas, a flatscreen TV and large windows showcasing sea views. The patio doors open out onto the balcony which has a seating area. Perfect for morning coffees and al fresco meals, you’ll have incredible views of the coast.. A three-night weekend stay in February is £769. staynorthyorkshire.hostandstay.co.uk
