Mayflower Lodge, Yorkshire

Mayflower Lodge sits on the Yorkshire coast near Staithes, just a five-minute walk from the beach. This modern two-bedroom lodge offers complete privacy with wraparound decking and countryside views. Perfect for small families or friends wanting to explore the North York Moors National Park without sacrificing comfort.

The Yorkshire coastline here is spectacular. Walk down to Runswick Bay for fossil hunting or take a short drive to Whitby for fish and chips. Dog owners will love the secure gated decking area and nearby pet-friendly beaches. After a day exploring, the on-site pub serves good food - their homemade chips are legendary (almost as good as what you'll be doing in the hot tub later).

The lodge sleeps four guests in two bedrooms - one king-size with en-suite basin and WC, plus a twin room. There's a separate shower room with walk-in shower. The open-plan living area features a fully-equipped kitchen with electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. The comfortable sitting area includes Smart TV and WiFi.

Nearby attractions include historic Whitby (15 minutes by car), with its famous abbey and beaches. The North York Moors Railway (25 minutes) offers scenic steam train journeys. Runswick Bay itself has a beautiful beach and Staithes (5 minutes) is a picturesque fishing village with galleries and cafes.

Mayflower Lodge gives you the best of both worlds - coastal and countryside access with a private hot tub to return to. Families love the space, couples enjoy the privacy and everyone appreciates soaking tired muscles after hiking the Cleveland Way.
