Boulby Grange Farmhouse Cottage.
Cosy quirky 1 bedroom holiday cottage with stunning views of the sea with own garden & log burner. NB .. the bedroom is in the eaves so limited head room & accessed by reasonably narrow staircase/shower room is downstairs (therefore not suitable to elderly or tall people due to the limited headroom / due to size of the bedroom it is only a double bed). Situated on the Cleveland Way this is a perfect spot for walking & within walking distance to the lovely harbour village of Staithes (25 mins)

The Boiling House, Beckside
Boiling House is a truly unique, beck side property located in Staithes. The original building has been an integral part of village fishing heritage for many years. Where the log burner now sits, the original boiling tanks sat, a real piece of history.

As the only property in the village with french doors opening onto the beck side, it really is a place to savour.

All about Runswick
With its mile-long golden sweep of sand, safe swimming, and a pretty village of old stone fishermen’s houses clinging to the wooded cliffs behind it, Runswick Bay is one of the North’s loveliest beach communities. However, its neighbouring resorts of Whitby, 10 miles south, and the arty fishing harbour of Staithes to the north get all the attention, leaving Runswick comparatively undiscovered. All are part of the North York Moors National Park, a heather moorland rich in heritage sites and foodie villages, which rolls back from the cliffs and beaches of the dramatic coastline.
Other resorts may have more seaside amusements, galleries, and shops, but Runswick Bay is appealingly authentic and little-developed. Beach pursuits here mean hiring a paddleboard or kayak, poking around in rock pools, and fossil hunting, while its steep alleyways and streets of red-roofed cottages hide only a couple of places to buy a cup of tea or a pint.
What are the top things to do in Runswick?
Fossil Hunting
This area of the Yorkshire coast consists of Jurassic-age shales that are constantly being eroded, leaving fossils such as ammonites, belemnites, and those of rare marine animals — and even dinosaurs — to be discovered on the beaches.
Cleveland Way National Trail
This 109-mile footpath skirts the coastline along the top of the cliffs above Runswick Bay, passing many lively coastal towns and fishing villages on its way to Helmsley, an attractive moorland market town famed for its food stores. A manageable shorter section follows the path north to the next bay, Port Mulgrave, then Staithes.
Hob Hole
In the cliffs above Runswick Bay are several caves. According to local folktales, the largest, Hob Hole, is named after a type of mischievous spirit called a hob, also known as a boggart or boggle, similar to a bogeyman or goblin. Legend has it that parents used to take children with whooping cough there to be cured.
