    “Ideal base for the area with easy access to the coast and moors, good off-road parking an enclosed front garden and nice little private rear courtyard garden.”

    The cottage itself is clean, warms up quickly and is good value for money but the lighting, white walls, hard seating and limited soft furnishings can make it feel clinical rather than cosy and welcoming. It also missed a few basics in the kitchen, (e.g., jug, masher, pasta bowls, scourer). This was our second visit, and we'd probably go again, but it wouldn't be our first choice due to the lack of warm and cosy feels.

The property

Nestled at the heart of the quaint village of Hinderwell, North Yorkshire in The North York Moors National Park is Driftwood Cottage.

This fabulous cottage boasts a central location to the village’s amenities and close proximity to the coast, a charming woodburning stove and private courtyard, all perfect for couples or small families seeking a coastal retreat.

After traversing the surrounding countryside, enter into your new home-from-home and unwind in the sitting room in front of the Smart TV while your partner pampers you with a romantic meal prepared in the contemporary, fully-equipped kitchen.

Enjoy this at the dining table and reminisce on the memories you have created so far; if the sun is still shining why not delight in an alfresco affair at the furniture in the courtyard.

Toast your retreat with your favourite tipple and marvel as the stars fill the sky before heading inside to wash off the day’s adventures in the ground-floor bathroom.

Be sure to catch your rest on the first floor, choose from the four poster double bedroom or the single with handy truckle bed.

From your door find the local stores in the centre of the village where you can stock up on essentials or treat your loved ones to a delicious meal at The Brown Cow or The Badger Hounds.

Venture to the coast to admire the sea views at Runswick Bay Beach or join the Cleveland Way, an iconic 110 mile walking route traversing countryside, moorlands and the coast, perfect for guests wanting to experience all the terrains of North Yorkshire.

Head south to explore Whitby, stroll its stunning stretch of sand before taking the challenging 199 steps up to Whitby Abbey offering picturesque and panoramic views across the town and the North Sea; time your visit right to experience the famous twice-year Whitby Goth Weekend music festival.

Other coastal towns such as Staithes, Saltburn-by-the-Sea and Robin Hood’s Bay are also easily accessible by car.

Adventure awaits on the coast at Driftwood Cottage

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
