Sam and Sian have been helping you make memories and relax on the coast since April 2017.
Baytown Holiday Cottages is a small North Yorkshire Booking Agency specialising in the Robin Hood’s Bay area of the North York Moor’s National Park. Surrounded by a backdrop of Heather Moorland, a panoramic Bay, and a dramatic coastline. Sam and Sian work to match the perfect relaxing coastal holiday cottage to you.
Over the moorland on the Yorkshire coast tucked away from the hustle and bustle of busy towns and cities Robin Hood’s Bay makes for a special haven. Here you will find a family friendly, dog friendly nature filled paradise. Coastal and moorland walks on the doorstep, wildlife, old fisherman’s cottages, pubs, restaurants, tearooms, and quaint little shops. Delicious cakes, fresh seafood, and Yorkshire classics. Have you really tasted Fish & Chips until you have eaten them here? Landed locally you will not find fresher and we have not even mentioned the fresh dressed Crab.
Robin Hood’s Bay sits approximately halfway along the coastal stretch of the 109-mile Cleveland Way. This hike takes in famous landmarks, towns, villages, dramatic cliff tops and stunning moorland. The Cinder Track runs 21 miles along the old railway line between Whitby and Scarborough and takes in some of the same spectacular views as the Cleveland Way. Dip your toes in the sea here in Robin Hood’s Bay at the end of the Coast-to-Coast walk. Enjoy a well-earned pint in Wainwrights Bar.
No nook or cranny left unturned or stories of old have escaped us. Head back in time at the local museum when Robin Hood’s Bay was awash with Smugglers. Explore how every crevice of the village was a hidey hole for contraband. We know the cottages inside out and the families that once lived there. Our friends, our Robin Hood’s Bay family.
We are very new to considering and reviewing our impact on Accessible Tourism and Sustainable Tourism. We hope you will support us as we learn. We will continue to provide you with new Accessibility Information and what we are doing to help contribute to Sustainable Tourism.
Robin Hood’s Bay, Whitby and the North York Moors National Park is more than just a living to us. It is our home; our playground and we have nothing but love for our surroundings.
Whether it is two nights or two weeks find your coastal cottage retreat in a Baytown Holiday Cottage.
