Perfectly positioned for explorers, Mad Alice’s Cottage in Loftus places you within easy reach of North Yorkshire’s most breathtaking landscapes. Nestled between the Victorian elegance of Saltburn and the Gothic allure of Whitby, this charming cottage offers the ideal base for unforgettable adventures.
Lovingly furnished throughout, the cottage blends comfort with character. On the ground floor, you’ll find a welcoming open-plan living and dining area. Two comfortable sofas are arranged around the TV and cosy electric stove — the perfect spot to relax after a day on the moors or coast. To the rear, a small yet well-equipped kitchen offers everything you could need to prepare home-cooked meals to share. Also on this level is a modern, stylish shower room.
Upstairs, three beautifully presented bedrooms await. The double bedroom features a built-in wardrobe and drawers, while the single bedrooms offer a hanging rail and additional storage — ideal for families, friends or couples who like extra space. Accessed via the kitchen, the tiered rear garden provides a peaceful, secluded space to enjoy your morning coffee. A small, enclosed patio leads up steps to a decked seating area — a lovely spot for relaxing in the fresh sea air after a day of adventure.
Just moments from the dramatic coastline and the wild beauty of the North Yorkshire Moors, you’ll have easy access to splendid walks and cycle routes through peaceful woodland and along the famous 100-mile Cleveland Way. You can stroll towards Saltburn or venture along the magnificent Boulby Cliffs – the highest sea cliffs on the east coast of England – where panoramic sea views will quite simply take your breath away.
For lovers of history and heritage, you’re spoilt for choice. Explore the atmospheric ruins of Whitby Abbey, wander through Guisborough Priory, discover the fascinating Staithes Heritage Museum, step into seafaring history at the Captain Cook Museum in Whitby, or enjoy a traditional day out at Hutton-le-Hole Folk Museum. Whether you’re surfing the waves in Saltburn, fossil hunting in Staithes, climbing Whitby’s famous 199 steps, or hiking up Roseberry Topping for its stunning views, you’re truly in the heart of a memorable adventure. Hikers, cyclists and dog lovers are especially welcome. Outside, you’ll find a dedicated boot and dog wash with a large Belfast sink — perfect for muddy paws, walking boots or wetsuits after a day of exploration. Inside, a thoughtful collection of maps, guidebooks and leaflets provides plenty of inspiration for planning your next outing.
Loftus itself offers a friendly community feel, with an award-winning Willow Cake Shop, Mad Alice’s Micro Bar, Micklow Tap and Tapas serving locally brewed beers, and several welcoming bars where you’ll often find live music over the weekend. Mad Alice’s Cottage is more than just a place to stay — it’s your gateway to coast, countryside and countless adventures in beautiful North Yorkshire.
