About the host
Hosted by Mike or Louise
We are a well travelled couple who know what we like and try to offer you the same in our holiday cottages.
We've been to 64 different countries as at 2024, travelling extensively throughout.
When we are not abroad we also like to spend time in both of our cottages too when they are not booked out.
We love Whitby for its 'old world' charm and ancient character and even we find somewhere or something different each time we visit. We're never bored here as it's such an interesting place to visit.
Why they chose this property
Beautiful riverside views in unspoilt countryside. You have a patio at ground level and also a private balcony on the mid floor. A great place to sip a beer or nice wine whilst watching the river just meander on by.
Free parking just outside the cottage is an added bonus for our guests
What makes this property unique
We are part of the North York Moors national park area and our area sits amongst river, forestry, lawns and shrubbery
