The kitchen offers plenty of storage space, plus worktop space for prepping ingredients, and dishwasher to take care of any washing up.Gather around the dining table and savour a home-cooked treat together, before retreating to the sitting room and reclining onto the sofa in front of the fireplace as you decide what film to watch on the TV.

The twin bedroom also benefits from handy storage, as well as access to the stylish panelled bathroom suite. Explore the picturesque Runswick Bay and enjoy a stroll along the sand of its sheltered bay, backed by spectacular cliffs and incredible moorland, or perhaps dip your toes in the water and build some sandcastles on a summer's day. Walkers can also appreciate the coastal and moorland views on offer along the spectacular Cleveland Way. Nearby Staithes offers a host of eateries, quaint shops and a superb art gallery to peruse, while nine miles south along the coast brings you to the popular resort of Whitby and a host of attractions. Climb the 199 steps towards the ruins of its Gothic abbey - thought to be the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula - and soak up the tremendous coastal views from the top, then explore a network of cobbled streets, dotted with charming shops, pubs and eateries. Grab some delicious fish and chips and enjoy them on Whitby's iconic sandy beach, or hop on a boat tour to be in with a chance of spotting whales. Continue south along the coast towards Robin Hood's Bay, home of the National Trust's Old Coastguard Station, before making your way to the Victorian resort of Scarborough and be spoilt for choice by its two sandy beaches, imposing castle and family-friendly attractions, including Alpamare UK, SEA LIFE Scarborough and the stunning Japanese-inspired Peasholm Park. You won't be short of wonderful days out and the opportunity to make lasting memories with loved ones during your stay at Seagull Lodge.
