Hot tub, gardens and grounds
Fling open the bi-fold doors onto the ten-metre courtyard and soak up the sunshine with a beer or a Beaujolais around the coal barbecue. Stay out until sundown and jump into the seven-seater hot tub beneath the gazebo to stare at stars and chit-chat in the moonlight.
Living spaces
Choose from a super-sociable living room with L-shaped sofa, cushions and beanbags or a breakout snug with corner sofa and cosy fire. Make Instagram jealous with shots uploaded on the superfast EE broadband and come together for family film nights on the smart TV (don’t forget your passwords).
Cooking and dining
Humungous would be a good word for the kitchen/dining area. With space for your whole party to dine in comfort and the bi-fold doors open to the courtyard and its bubbling hot tub, eating’s pretty agreeable around here. Cook on the two electric fan ovens, or get the pros in and the only simmering you need do is in that hot tub.
Big shop? Tesco and Sainsbury’s are just down the road. Or get a real flavour of the Yorkshire coast and opt for fresh lobster and crab directly from the harbour. Have a night off and grab a takeaway from Canton Kitchen for Chinese, Lezzet for kebabs and pizza, or Saffron for Indian. Ship to Shore is your best bet for super-fresh fish and chips.
Walk beautiful Flamborough Head, then call in for tea at The Seabirds for fresh fish or black and blue stacks. The North Star Hotel is a clifftop treat renowned for fresh Flamborough seafood and wild game caught in the Wolds. Or head to the Old Town for music, beer, breakfasts and burgers at The Black Lion.
If it’s pizza and pasta you’re after, San Marco in Filey should do the trick. For a Mediterranean feel, great cocktails and a grazing menu, get a table at The Glass House at Charlotte’s. Or take a trip out into the countryside for Michelin-recommended Pipe and Glass’ ‘meticulously prepared’ menus.
Bedrooms
Bushed after a long day on the cliffs or North York Moors? This close to the coast, you can gently nudge open the windows in the eight en-suite bedrooms and the night air will do the rest. Chalk Cliffs Villa sleeps 16 but if you need more space, consider sister property, eight-bedroom North Beach House next door.
Bedroom one on the ground floor is a large kingsize perfect for an elderly couple or wheelchair users. On the first floor, bedroom two is a kingsize with access to bedroom three, offering an adult bunk bed. Bedrooms four and five are kingsize.
On the second floor, bedroom six provides a kingsize bed and the en-suite comes with a separate bath tub, while bedrooms seven and eight are doubles.
