Atlanta

About this property

Whitby 3.2 miles. Atlanta is a charming, 200-year-old cottage situated in High Hawkser, North Yorkshire, within the North York Moors National Park. Boasting original features of exposed beams and stonework, this lovingly refurbished retreat offers stunning field views and easy access to the coast, perfect for families or friends with pets. Upon entering the property, you'll be greeted by a spacious kitchen, fully equipped to cater to all your culinary needs throughout your stay. Adjacent to the kitchen, you'll find a handy utility room housing a washing machine, perfect for those longer stays. Continue through to the dining room, where you can gather around the table, seating eight, under the rustic charm of wooden beams. The sitting room, with its carefully-curated interior, offers an inviting space to unwind. Here, you can enjoy a quiet evening in front of the woodburning stove, catching up on your favourite shows on the Smart TV. The property features four beautifully presented bedrooms spread across two floors, each offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside, often with charming glimpses of farm animals grazing in the distance. On the first floor, you'll find two double bedrooms, along with another double bedroom featuring an en-suite with a walk-in shower, basin, and WC. Ascend to the second floor to find a charming double attic room nestled under the eaves. With its exposed wooden beams and a Velux window that fills the space with natural light, this inviting hideaway offers a peaceful retreat. The family bathroom, complete with a bath, walk-in shower, basin, and WC, ensures everyone can prepare for their day in style. Outside, the south-facing, enclosed rear garden becomes a delightful sun trap during the summer months, offering a quaint sanctuary to relax and enjoy the outdoors. With a patio, lawn, comfortable furniture, and sun loungers, it's the ideal setting for dining alfresco under the stars or savouring a quiet morning coffee. Why not exit the gate at the top of the garden, leading directly to the local dog-friendly pub’s beer garden, where you can unwind and sample some of the finest local ales? The cottage is also a short walk to the Cinder Track, on which you can walk to both Whitby and Robin Hood’s Bay, approximately 90 minutes each way. Venture beyond the comfort of Atlanta and explore the nearby wonders of the Yorkshire coast. Begin your adventure in the bustling town of Whitby, where charming streets and rich history await your discovery. Tackle the famous 199 stone steps - a challenge for even the fittest - but well worth it for the stunning views at the top where you will find the imposing Gothic Whitby Abbey, famously believed to have inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula. From this vantage point, take in the breathtaking vistas of the town and the rugged coastline. Walk back down to visit the fascinating Whitby Museum and the National Trust’s Old Coastguard Station to uncover maritime stories and cultural treasures. For a tribute to one of history’s greatest explorers, stop by the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, or embark on a sailing adventure aboard The Whitby Endeavour to experience the coastline from the water. After soaking in Whitby’s dramatic scenery, head down the coast to Robin Hood’s Bay, a quaint fishing village full of character. Wander its cobbled streets, enjoy incredible views, and stroll along its sandy beaches for a peaceful escape, this idyllic spot offers a glimpse into the coastal charm of a bygone era. At the end of the day, retreat to the inviting Atlanta for a well-earned rest.

The seaside town and port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire. Ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire, the local area hosts an array of activities so you can be sure to get the best out of both the countryside and the coast.

Amongst its many attractions, Whitby holds a charming atmosphere, home to winding streets and hidden alleys, where you can find a wide selection of eateries and shops scattered amongst them. Take a trip to the picturesque harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun set or get involved in some whale watching or a coastal cruise to watch the creatures up close. Climb the famous 199 steps to the Whitby Abbey to immerse yourself with history, or visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum presenting historical and ethnographic exhibition about Cook himself.
