Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 6 - Havercroft, Yorkshire

This pretty property is just 3 miles from the glorious shores of Filey Beach, which boasts breathtaking views from Filey Brigg. Ideal for families, it features an open-plan layout, a sun trap garden, and a games room for the young at heart! Home-from-home style seamlessly blends with modern convenience in this delightful holiday home.

The inviting hallway welcomes you to store sandy shoes and coats before entering into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Extend the living space by throwing open the patio doors and letting the summer breeze whip through the room. On chilly nights, cosy up in front of the wood burner-effect electric fire and catch up on the latest programmes.

Your head chef will feel right at home in the thoughtfully equipped kitchen, which also offers ample room to gather for family banquets or show off your BBQ'ing skills out on the south-facing enclosed patio. The outbuilding will be a hit with the children, especially in competitions over the table football. When you're truly tired out, a staircase leads you to the first floor, where you will be met with three seaside-themed rooms: a king-size with an en-suite shower room, a twin bedroom and a double room.

Each bedroom also boasts a TV for those leisurely breakfasts in bed. Drive 3 miles to swim or paddle at the marvellous beach of Filey. Miles of superb beach, delicious fish and chips and a slower pace of life make for the perfect day out at this former fishing village.

Ramp up the pace with a trip to Scarborough (10 miles) for endless attractions, including donkey rides, waterparks, arcades and many highly-rated restaurants. Spend an afternoon monkeying around at Go Ape (24 miles), while keen walkers may like to head inland to discover the unspoiled greenery of the North Riding Forest Park (21 miles).
