About the location The cottages lie close to the sea, and are near to both the lovely village of Sandsend, with its child-friendly beach, and the historic and picturesque harbour town of Whitby. Further along the coast are Robin Hood’s Bay and Staithes, and the broad and sandy beach of Runswick Bay. The Cleveland Way follows the coastline, and, inland, the North York Moors is a must for walkers (and dogs!). Among the many attractive villages in the area is Goathland, of ‘Heartbeat’ fame. The steam railway runs between Grosmont and the market town of Pickering.

Directions
from the South
Take the A169 from Pickering to Whitby. At the
roundabout, turn left towards Guisborough (the A171) for about a quarter
of a mile, and then turn first right (avoid the entrance to a farm
beforehand!).
Follow the road right through Newholm, towards Sandsend. After
leaving the village, Graystone Farm is the first group of buildings,
on the left-hand
side, the entrance to the courtyard being on a bend. The Hayloft and
Grain Cottage (and the Farmhouse) face onto this courtyard.
Public
Transport
There is a rail link from Middlesbrough into the centre of Whitby, plus
regular bus services from Middlesbrough and from Scarborough to Whitby.
