Why they chose this property
We chose this delightful cottage because we enjoy spending time on the coast, particularly in Whitby. There are spectacular views from the attic of the swing bridge and the Esk River bridge, with the moors beyond, hence the name. It is ideally situated on the East side of the river with great access to all that the town has to offer.
What makes this property unique
The views of the swing bridge and the West cliff beyond
