Pine Cottage provides peace and tranquility in beautiful surroundings in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, between the villages of Robin Hoods Bay and Ravenscar, yet is just a five minute drive from the main Whitby to Scarborough road which provides access to countless lovely places to visit. It is the perfect retreat for a romantic break and the ideal base for walkers and cyclists and those looking to escape the crowds.
The semi-detached cottage dates from the late eighteenth century and is currently undergoing refurbishment works which will be completed in July. There are spectacular views over the sea and countryside for miles around from every room other than the kitchen which overlooks the delightful cottage garden, where guests can enjoy al fresco dining or a relaxing drink on the patio, overlooking the Bay, and there is a woodburning stove for cosy nights in, watching the lovely sunsets from the living room.
The former railway track between Whitby and Scarborough is just a couple of minutes walk from the cottage and provides the option of walking or cycling to Robin Hoods Bay and Ravenscar or further afield. The Cleveland Way coastal footpath is about 20 minutes walk away, as is Stoupe Beck beach and there are numerous other lovely walks across the moors.

The Northern England / Yorkshire/Yorkshire Dales region
Yorkshire is a historic county of Northern England and within its borders are areas which are widely considered to be among the greenest in England, due to the vast stretches of unspoiled countryside in the Yorkshire Dales and North Yorkshire Moors, two of eleven areas of countryside within England and Wales to be officially designated as National Parks.
The Whitby / Robin Hoods Bay area
In nearby Ravenscar there is a seasonal tea room next to the Cinder Track which serves food all day, and an excellent restaurant, bar and golf course with spectacular views of the coast at the Raven Hall Hotel which is open to non-residents, as well as The National Trust Coastal Centre and gift shop and the Falcon Inn as you turn off the main road to Ravenscar. There is a charity half marathon around Ravenscar in April each year and Ravenscar was selected as a destination on the Coastal Trail Series organised by EnduranceLife in May.
The beautiful historic fishing village of Robin Hoods Bay, famous for smuggling in years gone by, has a village grocery store and Post Office, a selection of cafes, pubs, restaurants and a fish and chip shop, and several lovely little gift shops, Poppies of Bloomswell being our favourite! The village is at the end of the famous 190 mile Coast to Coast walk and there are antique and craft fairs in the village hall there on selected weekends and a Victorian Weekend in December.
The larger shopping areas and ports of Whitby, famous for Captain Cook, Bram Stoker's Dracula and it's Abbey, and Scarborough, Britain's first seaside resort, are each within a 30 minute drive. The attractive villages of Sandsend, Runswick Bay and Staithes are a little further up the coast and inland there is the moors village of Goathland which was the location for the popular TV programme, Heartbeat, and the opportunity to travel on the spectacular North Yorkshire Moors steam train from Grosmont to Pickering. Further afield, there is the market town of Helmsley with it's Castle and beautiful walled garden, and the stately home and gardens of Castle Howard, where Brideshead Revisited was filmed on the A64 to York, and for those with an interest in military and aircraft, the Eden Camp museum at Pickering and Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington. There is something for everyone!

This is a real 'get-away-from-it-all' haven from the stresses of townie life, with a few welcome mod cons thrown in (you are on holiday, after all!). The views over the bay from the windows of the lounge and the bedroom (and the loo!) are stunning. It was snowing during my visit but I'd love to return in the summer, to make more use of the pretty, terraced cottage garden. Usefully, it was enclosed, so my labrador enjoyed his holiday, too, and there are amazing walks, right from the cottage door. The cottage is remote, but this is what I wanted: you need to take provisions with you unless you plan driving during your break. Inside, the cottage is tastefully furnished and decorated, with an inviting woodburner to supplement the electric heating. The owner's husband, in the adjoining cottage, helped me to get the fire going: he was very helpful but unobtrusive throughout my stay. There is satellite tv and a stereo, and the kitchen has a dishwasher, washing machine and every utensil I could think of. The bedroom is spacious, with a light-filled reading/relaxing area. Pine Cottage makes an ideal writers' retreat or would be a romantic bolt-hole for a couple. Definitely recommended - I hope to book another stay, soon.

We stayed for 3 nights this August and we were absolutely delighted with this cottage. The owners have gone to a lot of trouble to equip this cottage with all that you need. Everything was clean and cosy - the peaceful setting and the stunning view were lovely. we can't wait to go back again!

“Truly relaxing holiday”
Pine Cottage is a truly relaxing place to take a holiday it was so peaceful. The cottage was spotless and a lovely bottle of wine was awaiting us which was much appreciated. The views were fantastic from the sun rises to the sun sets over Robin Hoods Bay and walks right on the doorstep.We had a fantastic break despite the weather being a little hit and miss. We did find however a small down side to the cottage and that was the bathroom, it was very very small. I was expecting a walk in shower room as stated in the description (shower room) but it was in fact a small bathroom with shower cubicle. Never the less a fantastic holiday was had by us both.
Charming little cottage, beautifully decorated & well equipped. Lots of windows with stunning views over countryside & Robin Hoods Bay. Small but lovely cottage garden. Bottle of wine & vase of... more

“Beautiful cottage, beautiful location.”
Pine Cottage is gorgeous, we had a lovely break there. The location is very peaceful with beautiful walks right on the doorstep. Fantastic views from the cottage and garden which is enclosed and was great for our dog.You can walk along a disused railway track into Robin Hoods Bay or in the other direction towards Scarborough, or walk along the cliff tops. Either way the scenery is amazing! Lots of places to visit locally in the car as well. The cottage is extremely well equipped and very clean. Kath and Trevor the owners are very friendly and helpful.
“Cosy and secluded, set in beautiful countryside.”
This was our second stay at the cottage, and it was still worth the long drive from London. A lovely welcoming cottage with stunning views of the coast, we enjoyed the cliff top walk to Robin Hood's Bay, and the many tea shops in the Yorkshire towns.

“idyllic location and cottage - highly recommended”
the3 vieewssfor4m thiss cottage re stunnng looking down on to robins hoods bay, with stoopbeck sands about a mile or so walk down below. the old railway track ios a hundred metres away, turn right along thrre and 40 minutes away is ravenscar and the hotel on the point. Forty minutes the other wway and in your in robin hoodss bay. the ccottage is nesstled in the hillside witth th propriters owning the adjoing cottage. It is very peaceful and isolated accessed via aa single track that passess other isolated cottages on route. There is parking next to the ccottage the cottage well maintained and clean itha lovely wood burner. it is quite isolated but that is its strength. mobile phone signals apart from 02 are terrrible. it would be nice if wi fi was available to ease communication with the outside world but isnt at this time. Took are two dogs who loved the fantastic walks along the old railway and the local beaches (out of season). In essence I could retire there tomorrow.

“A most comfortable retreat with amazing views.”
Very easy to book and good personal service from the owners.Good directions to the cottage provided. Warm, comfortable property with attractive furnishings and everything that you need is provided for. Off the beaten track so take basic provisions with you.About 45 minute walk to nearest shop.A very peaceful location for a relaxing stay but easy to access Robin Hoods Bay and Ravenscar by using the dis-used railway line which is only minutes away from the cottage. Great opportunity to give the car a rest and enjoy walks( or bike rides). Walks to suit different abilities; flat along the dis-used railway or hilly along the Cleveland Way. Eating places and beach also within walking distance.Also liked the opportunity to book per night rather than by week only.
Living and working in town, we wanted a remote place for chilling out, walking the dogs and visiting the coast. Pine Cottage was perfect for all 3. It was ideal for visiting the Whitby/Scarborough areas and once the dogs had enjoyed lovely, long walks we got the log fire going and got the cottage cosy for a relaxing evening in. The cottage was really well equipped and the advice and directions from Kath we're 100%.
The holiday was made when we were sitting having dinner and I looked out of the window to see a young deer no more than 10 feet the other side of the window. Just perfect.

“Fabulous Winter Break”
We spent a lovely few days at Pine Cottage with our 2 small dogs. Communication with owners and the warm reception when we arrived were great. Even though the temperature was freezing outside, the woodburning stove and the many windows meant we could stay warm and cosy and still enjoy the magnificent views out to sea and across to Robin Hoods Bay. A real gem of a place to stay especially for anyone wanting to really get away from it all. Great walks from the doorstep. Highly recommend and will definitely be going back.

“Absolutely Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!”
I was so worried that having driven down a little country lane so far i'd end up staying in a pig shed made nice on the outside, but i'm so glad i didn't let my imagination take hold. The cottage from the outside is inviting and this only gets better on the inside. Warm, inviting and cosy, and with superb views from inside and out, i'd recommend this to anyone!!!!

“A wonderful cottage in a beautiful part of North Yorkshire.”
Having stayed at Pine Cottage twice now, my girlfriend and I have really enjoyed both of our holidays there. The cottage itself is really well equipped and very nicely furnished with everything you could need. The views from the cottage over the coast are stunning and there are some great coastal walks and paths nearby. We have been in summer and the depths of winter, and it has been wonderful both times, we can't wait to go again!

“A beautiful place to stay, in the midst of stunning countryside and lovely sea views”
The service provided by the owners of this cottage were excellent both with regards to the booking procedure and within the cottage itself We loved the unspoilt natural setting of the cottage and especially the garden which created an environment for tranquility and relaxation The location of the cottage lends itself to an away from it all experience but for those wishing to explore it is within easy driving distance to Whitby and Scarborough as well as Ravenscar and Robin Hoods Bays
The garden at this cottage is full of surprises and we spent most of our holiday sitting in it.. Our dog Rosie loved pottering about in it too We cant find anyting that we did not like about Pine Cottage and we are planning a holiday there April 2012

“Fantastic place to get away from it all!”
Lovely Cottage with Fantastic views. Just the place to get away from it all, in summer or winter. We have visited the cottage in both seasons and enjoyed the country side and beaches all around. The Cottage is very welcoming and is kept clean and tidy. Great place to stay.
It is the second time we have stayed at Pine Cottage, having loved the experience the first time around . Kath and Trevor couldn't have been more accommodating in creating a wonderfully relaxing experience for us. The cottage is in a secluded area with privacy, peace and quiet and stunning views. The cottage had all that we needed and more. The winter-time experience was great, the cold outside and us all snug and warm, with a log burner to keep us warm and the summer experience saw us sitting outside in the garden, relaxing, lapping up the sunshine and the scenery - oh, of course, and a big plus for us was that we could also take our well-behaved dog, Holly!
