Located just north of Whitby, between Sandsend and Staithes, Runswick Bay is a jewel of the Yorkshire Coast - a huddle of picturesque old cottages clustered at one end of the majestic sandy bay, sweeping round to the rocky grandeur of Kettleness.
Alby House is situated in the upper village of Runswick, around 80 metres from the the renowned Cleveland Way path, and just across from the road down to the lower village and beach.
With off street parking, and 5 bedrooms comfortably accommodating up to 9 people, Alby House provides an ideal base to explore the Yorkshire Coastline...or just enjoy the traditional pleasures of Runswick Bay itself: digging on the sandy beach, pottering in the rockpools, searching for fossils, or just watching the waves. For the more active, surfing, kayaking, sailing and cycling are all popular pastimes here. Although not usually at the same time...
Alby House is a super family house in a fantastic location, providing a comfy and cosy home-from-home on the glorious Yorkshire coast.

We enjoyed very much our stay at Runswick Bay, an area we hadn't visited before but will certainly do so again. Your home was a delight and much thought had obviously gone into furnishing for comfort. We were particularly impressed with the well-equipped kitchen and as our son cooked wonderful meals each evenning he was really pleased to have everything to hand!
A lovely week despite rainy weather. The den was a great idea - boys thoroughly entertained . All beds v. confy and pillows fine.
A really attractive, well-equipped cottage in an excellent situation in the village. Everything was lovely and clean and the beds were really comfortable. I had a query before we went and it was dealt with in a really efficient way by the owners.
We have had a wonderful week, enjoying this lovely house and the surrounding area. Two families stayed here and all of us would come back, adults and children alike loved the cosy house. We were never cold, the fire was excellent and kept every room warm. Each night we slept well, the beds and duvets so comfy
We've had a fantastic week in this well-appointed, child-friendly house and beautiful region. There's everything here we could need. Thank you so much. Four generations from Manchester and Germany
Our three families have all had a brilliant week here and the house is absolutely perfect. We appreciate all the little extras you provided, they made for a very comfrotable stay. This house really was well-equipped. It was our first time in Whitby and we enjoyed it so much and will definitley be back!
We have all really enjoyed our first holiday in Runswick, a lovely bay with friendly people, and a comfortable, well-equipped house. The children have loved paddling in the sea and playing the football game. We all enjoyed sitting in the lovely big garden when the tide came in and we had to leave the beach.
We have had a fantastic holiday and the house has been perfect for our two familiies. The children loved the den and the space they had in the garden and house. The facilities are excellent especially the kitchen. Thank you for making it a wonderful holiday, and the little touches were greatly appreciated.
Children: I think the house is extremely homely and cosy. It made my whole family happy. We had such fun at the beach and playing rounders in the garden. Parents: As you can see we have had a super holiday in this excellent house.
Another really wonderful New Year - thank you! The houseis lovely and so well-equipped - even for eclectic food lovers like our bunch! The village is beautiful and we had some great walks with a cosy living room to retreat to after.
This was a return visit for three generations - all 8 of us. We loved the house and location last time, and so were keen to come back. Great well-equipped house catering for all our kids (10,8 and 2).. Table tennis tournaments aplenty! Amazing beach, fantastic house and location.
Lovely large house, well equipped. Garden lovely size. Games room was a great hit with children and adults too! Beds very comfy, plenty of hot water and towels. A lovely house with lots of room and everything a large family could want.
