The kitchen / dining area is light and airy. Modern appliances work perfectly with the countryside style and the house retains its charm with beautiful exposed beams and white windows.

The area

The small village of Lythe is quaint and relaxed. It is perfectly located on the North Yorkshire coast - just a short 20-minute walk to Sandsend and less than 10-minutes into Whitby by car. Lythe sits on the Cleveland Way so you can uncover a haven of woodland and moorland during your stay. Sandsend sits at the end of almost 3 miles of sandy beach, west along the bay from Whitby. Watch the surfers bob in the distance as you stretch your legs along the shores. Soak up the sea air as you feel the sand beneath your toes. Head into Whitby and explore everything the seaside town has to offer. Visit the infamous Whitby Abbey which went on to inspire Bram Stoker’s gothic novel ‘Dracula’. Try the local catch of the day in one of the many fish restaurants, enjoy a drink in a cosy pub and feel nostalgia in the arcades which line Pier Road. You can’t miss the beautiful Blue Flag West Cliff beach which is complete with colourful huts on the promenade.

You can explore Lythe on foot and the coastal village of Sandsend is just a short 20-minute walk away. Hop on the X4 bus from Goldsborough Lane and you can visit beautiful villages like Runswick Bay and Staithes easily with the final stop at Whitby. Whitby train station is around 15-minutes away via car so villages and towns along the North Yorkshire coast can easily be reached via rail. There’s also a taxi rank in close proximity to the train station.

“I was impressed by the QR code with a comprehensive guide to the property. I would have taken the bed home with me if I could! Really great but two things to note: - The back garden had a gate that didn't close fully behind some bushes so if your dog is small and committed to escaping, that may be a concern. It was fine with our dog though. - There are two sets of stairs which are both quite steep. My toddler was obsessed with them and the set in the living room aren't easy to conceal from toddlers. If your child doesn't use stairs safely, that may be worth considering.”

“Middle Farmhouse was ideal for our family holiday. As grandparents we stayed in the downstairs bedroom leaving the upstairs accommodation for our son, daughter in law and their young family. The house is tastefully decorated with nice furniture, art work & homely touches. The beds were comfortable too ! Sandsend beach was only 5 minutes by car which was lovely for the children & delightful Whitby nearby too. We also visited the aquarium in Scarborough. A lovely stay.”

“We had a lovely stay here for a family weekend. House was so spacious and we enjoyed family dinners in the kitchen. Beds were super comfy and the house was overall clean and presentable. Location was a bit hard to find but the team were super helpful in assisting us to find it. We came into Lythe via sandsend so the turning was on the left side rather than the right. Might be helpful to know for anyone else staying. Overall was a great stay and we are already looking to come back!”
