Step outside to adventure

Just a 10-minute stroll from your front door lies the Cleveland Way, a coastal path that hugs the cliffs and rewards walkers with spectacular views across the North Sea. Explore peaceful woodlands, windswept moors, and hidden bays – with quirky coastal villages like Staithes and Runswick Bay offering the perfect pit stops along the way.

Prefer to explore by car or bike? The North York Moors National Park is yours to roam – or head just 8 miles to Whitby, where cobbled streets lead to historic medieval yards, the hauntingly beautiful Abbey, and tales of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

Start your morning slowly with coffee in your south facing courtyard style garden and then return to Hinderwell after a day of exploration to unwind in the cosy  village pub, or enjoy tea and cake in the Old School Tea Rooms. 

 Wonderful week spent in a perfect cottage, great attention to detail, information book and welcome packs etc. Enjoyed evenings in by the log fire and great walks during the day around the local area. Thanks again for the thoughtful touches around the cottage.

Ideally situated to discover this amazing coast with lovely walks and pretty villages to explore.

Back at your Cottage...

Sealark was lovingly renovated in September 2024. Everything – from the cosy throws to the welcoming décor – is fresh, modern, and thoughtfully chosen to create a warm, relaxing space. We’ve partnered with Cleaner and Greener, a local eco-conscious team, who use ethical, sustainable products to ensure a spotless stay. 

 Had a wonderful week celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. Sealark is so comfortable and everything has been chosen with thought and love. House was so clean and smelt amazing. 5 stars all round. We loved it
