The Drunken Carpenter’s Cottage

The Drunken Carpenter's Cottage is a one-bedroom property in Sneaton, a quiet village just outside Whitby. You get the whole place to yourself: downstairs there's a compact kitchen with electric cooking, a living and dining area with a wood burner, and direct access to an enclosed garden with patio. Upstairs, a bedroom with a kingsize bed opens into a bathroom with both a copper bath and a rainforest shower. The hot tub is yours alone, set in the private garden.

Everything is finished with the kind of detail you'd expect from somewhere built by hand—oak panelling, made-to-measure bed under a vaulted ceiling, granite-topped surfaces. The essentials are covered: heating, electricity, wifi, bed linen and towels are all included, and you can bring one pet for free. Beacon Farm Ice Cream, Campsite & Tearooms is nearby if you want to venture out, and Whitby is a short drive away for the coast and restaurants. No smoking inside the property.
