Former Railway Cottage!
River Bank Cottage, a charming former railway cottage built in the early 1900s, sits on the edge of the North York Moors, just three miles from the picturesque coastline and the historic fishing port of Whitby. Fronted by the tranquil River Esk, this beautifully finished holiday cottage offers an idyllic retreat from the demands of modern life.
The sitting room invites relaxation with its oak flooring, two comfortable leather sofas, a TV, and a selection of books for those quieter moments. The fully equipped kitchen and dining area are designed to meet every need, featuring modern appliances for cosy meals at home. The master bedroom boasts a luxurious king-size bed and a 32" smart TV, while the guest bedroom provides twin beds and another 32" smart TV. The bathroom offers indulgence with a traditional roll-top bath, a separate shower cubicle, a wash basin, and a toilet, complemented by complimentary toiletries.
Anglers will delight in the property's private fishing rights, with the River Esk at the doorstep, offering the perfect spot to cast a line. A short walk over the nearby footbridge leads to the village of Sleights, where two pubs (one featuring Sky Sports), a renowned bakery, a quality butcher, a fish and chip shop, a restaurant, a post office, and a grocery store await. The salmon leap, a small weir nearby, provides a fascinating sight as salmon navigate upriver to their spawning grounds from October to December.
Just three miles away, Whitby offers an abundance of dining options, including the renowned Magpie Café, Trenchers, The Moon & Sixpence, Marine, and Harry’s Bar. Steeped in history, Whitby has evolved from a medieval fishing port to a significant hub for herring and whaling fleets, making it a must-visit destination for history and seafood enthusiasts alike.
