Dive into Cosy Cottage Charm by the Sea

Ever dreamt of snuggling up in a stone-built fisherman's cottage, waves lapping just steps away? Then Robin Hood's Bay, nestled between Whitby and Scarborough, awaits your escape. This guide is your first glimpse into 52 ways to savor this charming North Yorkshire coastal village. Starting with the crown jewel: Staying in a Cosy Old fisherman's Cottage.


Robin Hood's Bay: A Village of Secrets and Sea

Imagine a village tumbling down towards the sea, red-pantile roofed houses huddled like the old fish wives of times gone by, cobbled alleyways with tales of smugglers whispering in the wind. This is Robin Hood's Bay, a timeless tableau perched on the coastal edge of the North York Moors National Park. Built in the 17th century, its history is as rich and delicious as the local fish and chips.


Whispers of Smugglers Past

Legend whispers of contraband hidden in cottage cellars and secret cupboards carried through unseen passages under the watchful gaze of the Kings Beck. Rum, tea, silk, and tobacco – entire fortunes passing by these winding cobbled streets never seeing the light of day . Explore the village museum, and dive deeper into Robin Hood’s Bay’s past illicit adventures.

Fisherman's Cottages: Where Time Slows Down

Picture red-tiled roofs, smoke curling from chimneys, and cottages tumbling towards the sea like playful children. These are the heart and soul of Robin Hood's Bay, each one unique and brimming with character. Steep stairs, uneven floors, and rooms like chapters in a storybook – these cottages are where time slows down and cosiness wraps itself around you like a warming mug of cocoa.


From Traditional to Luxurious: Your Cottage Awaits

Don't let the old-world charm fool you. Many cottages have undergone modern makeovers, offering a blend of traditional warmth and contemporary comfort. Whether you seek a luxurious retreat or a charmingly rustic escape, Baytown Holiday Cottages has the haven most suited to you.


Large Groups? No Problem

Looking to bring the whole crew? Robin Hood's Bay has options for larger parties too. From spacious Victorian terraces in the upper village to stone built houses in the lower village. Gather your loved ones and create memories that will last a lifetime.


Family Fun for All Ages

Generations fall in love with Robin Hood's Bay's magic. We offer a range of family-friendly cottages, idyllically located for beach days building sandcastles and exploring rock pools or retreat back sharing stories by the fire. Let your little ones discover the village's charm, and watch the wonder light up their eyes.

Amenities to Add to Your Stay

We have cottages with nearby parking, some with open fires or log burners, and a few even boast private gardens or patio space.
