You'll have the entire cottage to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Ancient, stone cottage. Original features, modern comforts, family-friendly.

6 The Warren is set back from Hinderwell's high street. You can watch the world go by, but not be disturbed by it.
The colourful garden catches the sun throughout the day, making it an ideal place to unwind, play or chat. The living spaces are flexible enough to allow individuals to find peace and quiet alone and for everyone to sit together to eat, chat and play. We love to eat together, and the kitchen is equipped to cook. The local butcher stocks a range of local produce, with other fresh ingredients sourced from some local farms. The Co-op in Staithes will do all other basics, with bigger supermarkets and other specialist suppliers in Whitby. Equally, there are dozens of excellent pubs and restaurants along the coast and in the moorland villages - you never need to eat the same food twice! In addition to this are Whitby's fish and chip shops, with stiff competition from the local village chippies.
There are plenty of local activities, with surfing, sailing, swimming, sandcastles, fossil hunting and fishing from the beaches: Saltburn, Staithes, Runswick, Sandsend, Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay. The moors provide walking, cycling and mountain biking routes, as well as scenic drives. Pony trekking is available in nearby Borrowby. Many villages have art and craft studios including fine art at Staithes, pottery, glass and much more. Details are in the cottage.
Younger visitors will enjoy looking for CBeebies' "Old Jack's" house and haunts in Staithes.
Historians can explore Captain Cook's legacy; ancient churches and Northumbrian Saints; fishing and lifeboat stories; industrial heritage and of course fossil hunting at Runswick and Port Mulgrave.
The Cottage.
The attic space has expansive views inland up to the moorland edge. This is an ideal space for contemplation and creativity.
The living room has TV, DVD, board games, books, iPod/MP3 Player dock and Wi-Fi. Stay connected or shut the world out - your choice. Dining table plus additional table, 3 piece suite, side tables... and a woodburning stove to keep you warm and cosy.
Gas central heating provides hot water on demand and controllable comfort whatever the weather.
The dining kitchen is well equipped with roasting and baking trays, a good range of pans and steamers, plenty of oven to tableware and enough willow pattern to feed a rugby team! There is a lovely vintage oak and formica table, the Yorkshire range (decomissioned) and an easy chair for Mum to chat from while Dad and the kids are cooking the dinner.
Downstairs shower room with separate WC and wash basin.
Upstairs WC and wash basin.
Bedroom 1: 1 king-sized, 1 single, travel cot available. Views over the garden, original Georgian sash window. High chair, travel cot and baby bath are available in the walk-in cupboard.
Bedroom 2: super-king/twin - optional configuration. Views up to the moorland edge. A lovely sunny bedroom.
Attic: twin beds, loads of space, table and chairs, fine views up to the moorland edge and Borrowby Dale.
Optional landing bed if preferred to bedroom 1 single, which also makes a great hideaway space to escape to with a book.
Reading/writing space on first floor landing with rocking chair and desk.
There is a generous boot shelf above the washing machine for your country walks, and local maps and guides in the hall cupboard.
The cottage also has garden chairs, a few beach bits including a wind break, an iron and ironing board and clothes airer if needed.
The garden has a secluded patio with fixed seating at the far end, with lawn and beautiful borders.

Great little break
The cottage was perfectly positioned for us to explore the surrounding areas of Whitby. The owners were easily contactable and able to sort a quick problem with the smoke alarm. My kids loved the attic space and charm of the cottage!

Hinderwell village stay: Lovely cottage, great location, wonderful walks, sea views, fun pub quizzes
Overall this property was cozy, comfortable and relaxing, and conveniently located for nearby short walks to seaside cliffs and beaches, as well as longer walks to the shops and cafes in the seaside village of Staithes. Made for an enjoyable holiday!

Fantastic Holiday Break!
We were a party of 4 adults and 2 children (10 and 13) and we stayed for a week between Christmas and New Year. The house was superbly clean and festive when we arrived (with Christmas Trees and even some After Eights and the makings for mince pies--thank you Catherine!) and we had no trouble getting settled. The house is snug and yet somehow the rooms are all spacious! We found it to be very comfortable with plenty of heat and hot water, lovely beds and bedding, and a well-equipped kitchen that we cooked in almost every night. We were able to take amazing walks right from our door to the Cleveland Way (to Staithes and beyond) and Hinderwell is well situated for trips to Roseberry Topping, Whitby, Saltburn-on-Sea, and the many wonderful trails of the North York Moors NP to name only a few places! Covid kept us out of local pubs and restaurants, sadly, so we can't comment on those, but evenings found us at home by the cozy woodstove playing games and enjoying the Warren very much. We had a great time and highly recommend!

Hinderwell holiday
Great location for exploring the surrounding area and the village has great amenities. The house itself is characterful, some will find this dated and others quaint. At 6’4” the ceilings downstairs were a little low for me. Great bedroom accommodation with a nice garden to the front of the property. The house has everything you’d want for a holiday away from home, games to play and books to read along with lots of information about the surrounding area. Catherine called to make sure everything was ok which was a nice touch.

a quiet beautiful step back in Tim
Hinderwell is just 10 minutes walk from the coast path. The historic village of Hilda’s well is friendly and welcoming. We loved being able to walk in fantastic scenery without getting in the car. The village has a great fish and chip shop , village hall community cafe and butchers shop. We walked to Staithes several times and enjoyed fossil hunting with a geologist there. The cottage is a period gem with room for all seven of us and a beautiful little garden to catch the sun in. We loved it!

Lovely short break
Having been let down by the owner of one property we were very pleased to find this property available. We had to reduce our stay from 7 to 4 days due to cleaning of the property but 4 days was sufficient for us. The property was super clean and we really enjoyed our stay.

Comfortable, well-equipped cottage
We stayed at The Warren for a short break in mid-September. It was very comfortable and well-equipped, an ideal base for exploring the beautiful scenery and interesting seaside towns of the north Yorkshire coast. Catherine and Stuart were very helpful and answered all our questions quickly and clearly. They had taken great care with anti-covid hygiene and provided all that we needed to make our stay safe and enjoyable. Neighbours were very friendly and we enjoyed some excellent seafood at local pubs and restaurants. The butcher in Hinderwell does excellent steak pies as well as good meat and other produce.

Fabulously spacious, comfortable cottage
Loads of space for grandparents, our kids n grandkids. The kitchen has everything you need. The shower room is excellent and the beds extremely comfortable. Games and books available. Parking is on the main road, but had no problems at all. Runswick Bay, Staithes, both within walking distance And to top it all a fab pub just over the road. Booking essential.
