Accommodation Details
One double bedroom with en-suite shower, basin and WC. Open plan living area with kitchen, dining area and sitting area with electric stove.
Hawsker 1 mile. This endearing compact stone cottage, an annexe to the owner's home, is close to the small village of Hawsker and just three miles from both Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay. With glorious garden views towards the sea and Abbey, this delightful property is perfect for couples wanting to explore the spectacular scenery of the North York Moors and the dramatic heritage coastline. Imaginatively converted, The Hayshed provides rustic and quirky accommodation, with the use of reclaimed timber and exposed stone work. Full of charm and character, there is an open plan living area, with stripped wooden floors and a bespoke hand-crafted kitchen with retro appliances. The large picture window throws in plenty of sunlight and houses the glass dining table, where guests can sit and enjoy a meal whilst admiring the views. In the comfortable sitting area, there is a cosy electric stove creating a warm and homely feel for a romantic night in. With superb attention to detail, the bespoke timber staircase leads up to the double bedroom and an en-suite shower room. Across the drive, guests have private use of an enclosed meadow garden; a lovely spot to sit with a glass of bubbly and watch the sun go down over the sea! A few minutes drive brings you to the ancient fishing village of Robin Hood's Bay, with its steep, winding cobbled streets lined with quaint cottages tumbling towards the sea. Explore the hidden coves, stroll along the beach, or take an invigorating cliff top walk along the long distance Coast to Coast trail. The popular seaside town of Whitby has long, sandy beaches, a beautiful historic harbour and its famous 199 steps leading up to the Abbey, perched high on the cliffs. Partake in afternoon tea in one of the cafes, sample the restaurants, including the very best of fish and chips, or enjoy a cocktail in one of the trendy bars. The cobbled market place and narrow ginnels are a joy to meander around, with lots of independent shops and a wealth of local inns. With both the countryside and the coast on the doorstep, this gem of a property is one not to be missed!
The pretty village of Hawsker is situated half way between Whitby and Robin Hood’s Bay, just two and a half miles from each, making it an ideal base from which to explore the area. Cottages and farms complete this pleasant village, with a local pub serving food, a tea room, a village hall, primary school and children's playground. Set on the National Cycle Network and the Whitby/Scarborough Railtrail (Cinder Trail), Hawsker provides a great base for walkers, cyclists and lovers of the outdoors. The superb coastline in this beautiful part of Yorkshire, and the spectacular North York Moors are well worth exploring, as is the fishing village of Robin Hood's Bay and the ancient port of Whitby. With its winding streets and hidden alleys, Whitby is a charming atmospheric town with a picturesque harbour, long, sandy beaches and the famous Abbey, reached by the 199 steps! Taste the freshly caught fish and chips, take a trip on a local boat or browse a great selection of unique and independent shops.

Reviews
Spent the first weekend of lifted restrictions here. It’s a quaint, quirky, cosy cottage. Really comfortable. Everything you could need to cook a meal or just a snack. Some board games and dvd are available if wanted. Plenty of storage and there is a fridge with a decent sized freezer compartment. Outdoor area for sitting and secure field for walking my fur baby. The cottage is a 200 year old Hay shed which is attached to owners property but although they are very friendly and available if needed they are not looking over your shoulder. It is renovated with a lot of reclaimed items which makes it even more charming. About 3 miles from Whitby and robin hoods bay. Very quiet and peaceful. It is on a main road but we didn’t notice much traffic until Monday morning and that wasn’t a lot. Even the cockerels don’t make a noise until about 8.30 ish Really enjoyed our stay and will go again when/if there is any availability or even taking a last minute cancellation. Owners are planning more improvements, but u personally think it’s perfect as it is
Lovely quirky accommodation, nice views and friendly hosts. Great location for trips into Whitby or to Robin Hoods Bay - close to the coastal cycle path too All in all a lovely short break
The owners were very welcoming and are looking to improve, they have only recently taken over the business, so we wish them every success in their venture. The location is next to the road which could bother some people but didn't bother us at all. The views were lovely looking out to sea. The accommodation was very nice, warm and quirky.
