Evergreen House

Evergreen House stands at the top of Runswick Village, where a ten-minute walk downhill brings you to the bay itself. The property sleeps eight across five bedrooms—a kingsize with ensuite on the first floor, another kingsize, a single, a twin and another single—with two bathrooms between them. The ground floor holds a spacious kitchen and dining area where eight can gather, plus a living room with comfortable seating, a utility room with washer-dryer, and a separate toilet. Essentials like electricity, heating, bed linen, towels and wifi are all included; you can also borrow a travel cot and highchair if needed.

What makes the property distinctive is the enclosed garden with a summerhouse equipped with electricity, lighting and heaters—useful for board games or evening drinks even when it's cool outside. There's parking on site for three cars, and a bike store. One dog can stay at no extra cost. The village has a pub and hotel a minute's walk away serving evening meals. Runswick Bay itself is a cluster of historic stone houses perched above golden sand, with a small café beside the water. Non-smokers only.
