River Bank Cottage, a charming former railway cottage built in the early 1900s, is situated on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors, just 3 miles from the stunning coastline and the historic fishing port of Whitby. Fronted by the River Esk, this beautifully finished holiday cottage offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life.

The sitting room is designed for relaxation, featuring oak flooring, two comfortable leather sofas and a TV, along with a selection of books for quiet moments. The fully equipped kitchen and dining area include all modern appliances, ensuring you have everything you need for a cosy meal at home. The master bedroom boasts a king-size bed and a 32" smart TV, while the guest bedroom offers twin beds and another 32" smart TV. The luxurious bathroom includes a traditional roll-top bath, a separate shower cubicle, a wash basin and a toilet, complete with complimentary toiletries.

For fishing enthusiasts, the cottage comes with fishing rights, allowing you to cast your line directly from the property. A short walk over the footbridge into Sleights brings you to two pubs (one with Sky Sports), a renowned bakery, a high-quality butcher, a fish and chip shop, a restaurant, a post office and a grocery store. The nearby salmon leap, a small weir, allows salmon to swim upriver to their spawning grounds from October to December.

Just 3 miles away, Whitby offers an array of fantastic dining options, including the famous Magpie Café, Trenchers, The Moon & Sixpence, Marine, and Harry’s Bar. Rich in history, Whitby evolved from a medieval fishing port to an important hub for herring and whaling fleets, making it a fascinating destination to explore.
