The property

Escape to Sanders House, a beautifully restored three-storey cottage tucked away in the heart of Whitby—one of North Yorkshire’s most beloved coastal towns.

Just steps from the golden sands of Whitby Beach and moments from vibrant cafés, shops, and historic landmarks, this charming retreat offers the perfect setting for unforgettable holidays with family, friends, or a romantic getaway for two.

Arrive via the characterful outdoor staircase and step inside to discover an inviting blend of comfort, heritage, and style.

Rustic beams and original features pair seamlessly with thoughtfully designed, modern interiors.

On the first floor, a sleek fully-equipped kitchen/diner with a wall-mounted Smart TV invites slow breakfasts, cosy evening meals, and laughter-filled gatherings.

Next door, the welcoming sitting room offers plenty of space to unwind—sink into the plush corner sofa and settle in for movie nights after days spent exploring the coast.

Across the upper floors, four beautifully presented bedrooms await—two doubles and two twins—each designed to help you drift into a restful night’s sleep.

Two bedrooms boast their own private en-suite bath or shower rooms, adding a touch of luxury to your stay.

Each morning, savour a refreshing shower and a warm cup of coffee before setting off to explore Whitby’s captivating charm.

Wander through winding streets to Whitby Abbey, St Mary’s Church, the Whalebone Arch, and the famous 199 Steps, or simply enjoy the bustle of the harbour and the sweep of the shoreline.

Venture further afield along the dramatic coastline: discover the postcard-perfect village of Robin Hood’s Bay, enjoy the lively seaside attractions of Scarborough, or take a nostalgic journey on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway from nearby Pickering.

For those seeking tranquillity, the enchanting Guisborough Woods and historic Guisborough Priory offer peaceful woodland walks and heritage charm.

And of course, no visit is complete without exploring the breathtaking North York Moors National Park, with its rolling heather, big skies, and some of the most inspiring landscapes in England.

With its unbeatable location, characterful interiors, and endless adventures on your doorstep, Sanders House promises a holiday you’ll treasure long after you leave.

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

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.
