Captain Cook's Haven

This is an exciting modern collection of holiday cottages, all furnished to a high standard. It is beautifully set, on two levels, nestling beside the banks of the River Esk as it winds its way from the rugged beauty of the North Yorkshire Moors towards the bustling seaside resort of Whitby, just a mile away.

These cottages offer an ideal touring centre for exploring the nearby fishing villages, sandy bays and seaside resorts. You enjoy the use of a superb indoor heated swimming pool, alongside the pool is an exciting playground for children for all ages.

The historic city of York, Castle Howard and the North Yorkshire Moors National Park are within easy reach. Enjoy a ride or walk along the old railway track towards Robin Hood's Bay, 6 miles. For anglers there is deep sea fishing from Whitby harbour, or river fishing for salmon and trout nearby.
