Toll Bar Cottage

Sandsend is a working coastal village where the beach at low tide becomes an expanse of sand stretching for miles, and where surfers, walkers and fishermen gather year-round. Toll Bar Cottage stands in this setting as a substantial stone building with history—originally built as a toll house—now recently renovated with new beds, sofas, kitchen and an outdoor patio with an electric awning. The location puts you steps from the village's cafés, seafood restaurants and local shops, with Whitby Golf Club visible across the way on the clifftop.

The cottage sleeps eight across four bedrooms: a double with ensuite on the ground floor, and upstairs a kingsize, a twin and a bunk room (suited to children). Two bathrooms serve the property. Ground floor space includes a separate kitchen with breakfast bar and dishwasher, utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer, plus a dining room and living room with a large smart TV. There is an enclosed courtyard garden with a BBQ at the rear and a side patio. Essentials like electricity, heating, bed linen, towels and wifi are covered; you have private parking for two cars. One pet stays free. The property is non-smoking.

The village suits families and groups wanting straightforward seaside time without needing to drive elsewhere—the beach, a pub within a mile, and local activities are all within reach on foot or a short drive.
