Golden Samphire

Golden Samphire: North Yorkshire

Fishing boats bobbing in the harbour, chip shops with battered fish and wooden forks, gulls clawing the air above rolling waves and steep cobbled streets lined with independent shops. It’s all within a ten-minute walk of this modern seaside home. Inside, it’s fresh and bright with a spacious kitchen-diner at its heart. Set the table and keep the wine flowing as the chef of your group knocks up a hearty feast. When it's chilly outside, retreat to the sitting room and light the log fire for a cosy evening with your loved ones or take a minute to yourself with a long hot soak in the master bedroom’s freestanding tub. Spend long days frolicking on Whitby Beach, followed by a climb of the famous 199 steps to the abbey for tales of ghostly legends and gothic vampires – after that, a whipped ice cream with a chocolate flake is well deserved.

Home truths:
*There is private on-site parking for two vehicles – an additional parking space can be found on-street outside the property but it isn’t guaranteed
*If you’re staying with an infant, a cot can be provided upon request
*A car isn’t a necessity but it’s nice to have if you want to explore the wider area
