Sea Holly Cottage - Facilities
Beautifully refurbished fisherman’s cottage
Located on Shell Hill, on the Fisherhead side of Robin Hood’s Bay, Sea Holly Cottage is a beautifully refurbished fisherman’s cottage, originating from the mid 18th century, when smuggling was rife in the village.
Sleeping up to 4 people (with the option of a cot for babes in arms), but also perfect for a couple, this cosy 3 storey cottage is less than a minute’s walk from the beach and affords fabulous views out to sea from the main bedroom’s dorma windows.
As you enter Sea Holly cottage, you will find the open plan living room / kitchen, at the heart of which nestles a log burner stove. Hosting everything you need for a comfortable stay with a snug corner sofa and dining table for up to 4. There’s also a smart TV, microwave and an eco friendly Illy coffee pod machine.
Ascend the tiny staircase and you will find the spacious twin bedroom and newly refurbished shower room. Plus, on this floor there is access via the back door to a communal grassy area outside the cottage which can be enjoyed by our guests. A bistro set is available for your convenience.
Continue up a second staircase and you will find yourself in the spectacular master bedroom. With no comfort spared, this beautiful light and airy room has been tastefully decorated and offers views out to sea from both dorma windows. There is a Super King sized bed, a TV, dressing area and plenty of space for clothes storage.
Sea Holly Cottage is within quick and easy walking distance from the hubbub of all the main village shops and restaurants.
The perfect base for a beach or walking holiday.
Sea Holly Cottage has a useful outhouse opposite the cottage which we hope will become our “Rainy Day Den” in early 2023. In the meantime, it’s a great space for storing luggage, wellies or beach gear and there’s a washing machine in there too.
Please be aware that the cottage does not have a dishwasher.
Due to the location of the cottage in the lower Bay Area, there is no parking. Two council car parks can be found at the top of the village, Bank Top or Station car park (these car parks are free to use during the winter months) or it is sometimes possible to book a weekly pass at the Old School House Fisherhead car park which is half way down the hill. Details for this can be found here: www.oldschoolhouserhb.co.uk/parking or by contacting Dave or Helen on 01947 880723 Mon – Fri 9am – 5pm.

Robin Hood's Bay | Whitby
High rugged cliffs and small characterful fishing villages forge the dramatic heritage coastline of the North York Moors National Park.
Offering infinite possibilities for lovers of the great outdoors, it’s a special place; forged by nature and shaped over generations. Peace and beauty walking hand in hand with a rich history and a Northern welcome.
Known as God’s own country, Yorkshire is well known as one of the UK’s top holiday destinations, offering everything from fabulous coastal beaches, purple heathered moorlands, ancient castles and beautiful towns and villages steeped in history. There is so much to explore.
Yorkshire has two areas of outstanding natural beauty, a 36 mile long stretch of coastline designated as heritage coast and one of the largest expanses of heather moorland in the United Kingdom.
Located five miles south of Whitby, Robin Hood’s Bay is a small fishing village which lies in the ancient parish of Fylingdales. Reportedly the busiest smuggling community on the Yorkshire coast in the 18th century, the streets and cottages remain pretty much unchanged since that time and will whisk you away on a nostalgic journey into the past as you explore the higgledy piggledy pathways.
