Rosslyn House
Situated in the small village of Fylingthorpe within the North York Moors National Park and less than a mile from the beautiful seaside village of Robin Hood’s Bay, Rosslyn House is the perfect destination for either a couple’s getaway or a family holiday, and is great for pets too. The sociable kitchen leads out into the enclosed garden with a dog shower and garden furniture which is ideal for sitting out for breakfast and meals. The living area boasts a wood burner, perfect for relaxing in front of after a day of walking, cycling or exploration of the National Park and beaches. The master bedroom has en-suite facilities with a boutique style contemporary free-standing bath to relax in, and sea views.
This is a delightful Grade II listed period stone cottage set in the North York Moors National Park, providing superbly presented accommodation arranged over three floors. Decorated in bright and fresh tones with sumptuous leather sofas and a mix of tribal and seagrass rugs, together with original art, giving a contemporary twist to what is a very old period property. The kitchen/dining room has seating for up to eight guests, so there is plenty of room for everyone. There are views from the top floor towards the North Yorkshire Heritage Coast. The cottage is believed to date to the early 1700s and records indicate that for many years it was a public house known by the stone sign which is still in the front façade above the main door, as ‘The Fishing Boat’. More recently in the mid-20th century, the cottage became The Rosslyn Stores and remained so up until the late 1980s.
Fylingthorpe has everything from a local pub to a convenience store, and a butcher and a baker, all a short walk from your doorstep. The road from here snakes down into the wonderful Robin Hood’s Bay, or you can catch one of the regular buses that pass the end of the road. In Robin Hood’s Bay you will find tea rooms, pubs and shops as well as a stunning sandy beach to enjoy. Walkers and cyclists can join the Cinder Track which is an old, disused rail track that links Scarborough to Whitby and has some amazing views. Alternatively you could explore north of Whitby and the Cleveland Way, just 5 minutes walk from the house, or pick one of many walking and cycling routes in the area. Wonderful Whitby is just 4 miles away with its abundance of eateries, pubs and shops, and is well worth a visit. If you’re feeling energetic you can climb the 199 steps to the abbey and inspiration for Bram Stoker’s ’Dracula’, or take a relaxing boat trip out to sea in search of minke whales and dolphins. You can even catch a steam train which chugs its way into the heart of the North York Moors National Park and its many wonderful sights such as Goathland, Grosmont and Pickering. The Victorian seaside town of Scarborough is just 15 miles south with its two large bays, a waterpark, Sea Life Centre and an open air theatre attracting international acts throughout the summer months. Beach ½ mile. Shop, pub and restaurant 500 yards.
