Please note: Access to the property is via a steep bank.. Robin Hood’s Bay is an enchanting place, huddled at the edge of the sea there are winding cobbled footpaths connecting rows of quirky cottages. Historically smugglers, sailors, pirates and the press gangs would roam these snickets and gunnels at night. There are still tunnels from the cliffs underground which smugglers would use to get their goods from the village to the boats without getting caught. Exploring this village is like stepping back in time, it has a whimsical atmosphere. There are some quirky independent shops and cafés to discover as well as a couple of popular fish and chip shops and friendly local pubs.
Stepping into the Grade II listed Oakfield Cottage, you have the exposed beams and winding stairs so typical of these historical fisherman’s cottages. The heart of the cottage is the welcoming living room, with a wood burner providing atmospheric warmth. Downstairs there is a kitchen on the lower ground floor, this room is compact yet well equipped. The kitchen has a dining table for four, so you and your loved ones can enjoy home cooked meals together. Up on the first floor you have a king bedroom, as well as the shower room. With stairs leading up to the second floor where you have a family bedroom under the beamed vaulted ceiling. Here in the family room, you have a double bed as well as a single which can be used for an additional guest on request, there are views over the rooftops out to the beach, with the sea and cliff tops stretching out onto the horizon.
As well as having a wonderful beach Robin Hood’s Bay is also a walker’s paradise with the Wainwrights Coast to Coast walk starting or finishing in the village, as well as The Cleveland Way passing through. Take a stroll along the cobbled alleyways and narrow streets or enjoy an exhilarating walk on the cliff-top Cleveland Way before heading out into the rugged North Yorkshire Moors National Park. The old railway track at the top of the village, now a cycle track, follows the cliff tops to Whitby. The neighbouring town is Whitby, boasting an incredible Abbey as well as a long golden beach stretching for miles. There is also the picturesque coastal villages of Staithes and Runswick to explore as well as the surrounding North Yorkshire Moors National Park. This is a fabulous destination all year round, with lots to see and do nearby.
Please note that Robin Hoods Bay is a historical village and the property can only be reached by foot. The parking is at the top of the village and there is a very steep hill leading down to the harbour. The property itself is part of the way down the hill, and there are stone steps as well as a cobbled footpath leading up to the front door. This is part of the charm of the village as it has remained unchanged for hundreds of years. Beach ¼ mile. Pubs and restaurants 4 yards.

Definitely a piece of history, very unique place to stay, but you need to be able to do lots of stairs! The key box to get it is difficult to manage.

Beautiful very clean cottage, good location, decor beautiful deffo woman’s touch 😂, would highly recommend to anyone who wants a superb place to stay âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸
A fantastic homely property located within the heart of RHB. The house has everything you will need. The only hiccup we encountered was booking the property through cottages.com and their communication.
Lovely quaint walk through several levels of walkways and beautuful traditional cottages. Tucked away surrounded by cottage gardens. Like stepping back in time. Beautiful weather surprisingly. Lovely friendly people. Shops and places to eat and drink , within 5 mins through the street's. Very steep hill and steps add to rhe charm of the winding roads down to the bay front. Photographers heaven. 4th time here over the years with small changes to eateries.
Property and robin hood’s bay are lovely. However if you are remotely mobility impaired this is maybe not for you. Steep hills and steps everywhere including access to property. Stairway in property is treacherous.

Beautiful location Robin hoods bay is stunning.
Very cute cottage stayed at New Year, fireworks amazing.
Steep stairs in the cottage, could have been cleaner! Beds comfy, sofa and chairs too, and nice to have a wood burner.
Would have been nice to have some logs and a bottle of wine for arrival.
This property was a highlight of my UK trip! Robin Hoods Bay is a sneaky charmer that absolutely steals your heart in less than 24 hours. Exploring the history, the footpaths, and the coastline was full of childlike wonder. The property itself was also full of fairytale charm! From listening to the seagulls walk across the roof tiles to spotting the secret door between the neighbouring houses this place was full of pleasant surprises. It is in the middle of a seagull roost area - which means the gulls are quite loud, but that is just part of its seaside charm I think. Communicating with the host was a bit confusing as they use a different hosting site and don't seem to always get VRBO messages, but there was nothing pressing that came up so it wasnt a make-or-break situation. One thing - when following the instructions to get to the cottage be aware that when it says "further down past the art shop" it actually means about two feet further down the hill but really almost directly across the street. I got extremely lost looking for the sign further down from the art shop and only ended up at Oakfield Cottage because a very nice shopkeeper saw me pushing my luggage bag up and down the hill infront of her shop multiple times and she asked if i was okay. When she heard which cottage I was looking for she locked up her shop and personally took me to it. She saved me a lot of despair that evening and everyone in RHB was equally kind and lovely.
Nice property - good size for a small family - centrally located - pity the only (towel rail) heating in the bathroom didn't work (even when switched on) which spoilt our enjoyment of the property in the below zero weather conditions.
