THE LOCAL AREA

One of the most famous walks in the UK, Wainwright’s Coast-to-Coast walk finishes in Robin Hood’s Bay and the village also lies on the Cleveland Way footpath as well as many local circular walks, the village lends itself as the perfect village bolthole for a walking holiday exploring some of the best walks in the country.

Robin Hood’s Bay is just 5 miles from Whitby and is a much-loved gravity-defying picture-postcard village. Once home to the smuggling trade on the Yorkshire coast, said to involve fisherman, clergy and gentry alike, today the village has adopted a much more sedate pace of life.

There are also several pubs in the village with great pub grub. If you want to dine in, take advantage of the well-stocked local stores there, including a fishmongers selling  locally caught fish. There are independent shops and cafes dotted around the village and not forgetting the dinosaur museum!

As hard as it will be to steal yourself away from Robin Hood’s Bay, you really ought to explore the rest of the coast. The Yorkshire coastline is a mix of rugged cliff tops, with RSPB Bempton Cliffs just 30 miles along the coast, visit in May/June to see the Puffins. With so many peaceful bays and pretty fishing villages, long sandy beaches and all the traditional seaside attractions of yesteryear, this is proper bucket ‘n spade territory.

February 2025

Wow! What a fabulous cottage, we loved everything about it, very comfy, so much care and thought has gone into it and it really shows. The most spectacular sea views, you can lie in bed and look out across the cliffs to sea it is amazing! Robin Hoods Bay is like going back in time unspoilt and lots if interesting things to discover, we also went to Whitby, into the Moors and along the coast and we loved it all, we need to come back.

We have already told our friends and family to come and stay here, it is the best!

Jenny, Tom, Beth and Lewis.

January 2025

We loved Arthur’s Cottage, it is beautiful, very stylish and in a fantastic location, we have stayed in Robin Hoods Bay lots of times and this must be the best cottage by far! Although we stayed in the winter you can imagine how fantastic it will be in the better weather to have that garden overlooking the sea, we did manage our morning coffee out there and it was an amazing way to start to the day.

Lots of places to explore along the coast, Ravenscar, Staithes, Runswick, Whitby for fish and chips and we loved the Moors around Goathland and the steam trains at Grosmont.

We will be back, thank you for all your help with our questions too,

Paul, Julie and Lynne and Mark x
