A perfectly charming stay in famous seaside village of Robin Hood's Bay

There are more reasons than ever to find idyllic staycation destinations with the recent heatwaves and I found myself craving a coastal escape a little closer to home.

Robin Hood's Bay was the perfect answer. Known for its rugged charm it was also a key filming location for Wild Child and Phantom Thread.

What immediately sets Hotel Victoria apart is its position. Nestled right at the end of a row of guesthouses it commands the best sea view. Walking up to the hotel the large garden and terrace area was full of visitors enjoying a drink overlooking the dramatic coastline of the North Yorkshire coast.

Before checking in, we indulged in afternoon tea in the light-filled orangery. A three-tiered stand of savouries and sweets with scones served alongside. The hotel also offers a savoury version that I’m booking for next time.
