About Boatman's Loft formerly Old Coastguard Station
A distinctive Robin Hood’s Bay red-roofed cottage on the edge of the beach.Perched on top of the sea wall, this newly-converted loft space makes for a perfect coastal escape for two. It sits on Yorkshire’s wild and rugged coastline, in the 17th-century fishing village of Robin Hood’s Bay. Although it’s a one-bedroom loft, it feels spacious inside and benefits from uninterrupted views of the sea.
Head out on to Robin Hoods Bay and discover this historic coastal village. Explore on foot, traffic is strictly limited in the village, and stop in at one of the pretty traditional pubs for lunch.
A little further afield, discover Whitby, just a six mile ramble along the clifftops. Enjoy some of the best fish and chips in the UK before vising the town’s ancient abbey.
