When the Ships Float By

When the Ships Float By: North Yorkshire

You'll find this coastal apartment nestled in the quaint hamlet of Port Mulgrave, just a short drive from Saltburn-by-the-Sea and Whitby. If you crave salt-tinged air and sand between your toes, we can't think of a better place to call home. In fact, Yorkshire's rocky coastline is practically on your doorstep – and it's all yours to admire from the window in the lounge.

Inspired by the surrounding scenery, each room here has oodles of seaside curios to admire – that is, if you can tear your gaze away from the view. The living area couldn't be cosier, especially with the fire roaring, your favourite show on the telly and a steaming mug of tea at the ready. On sunny days, the small patio is ideal for an alfresco tipple or two, but even better is the sumptuous roll-top bathtub in the main bedroom – what's more relaxing than ending the day with a soak in the bubbles and a glass of wine in hand?

When you're ready to venture out, hop in the car and make your way to Yorkshire's myriad of seaside towns. Head in one direction towards historic Whitby (about a twenty-minute drive), veer in the other towards the sandy beaches in Saltburn (roughly half an hour by car) or explore on foot with a coastal trek along the Cleveland Way National Trail.
