Welcome to White Yard Cottage, a charming, family run, dog friendly cottage with a garden in the heart of Whitby. From the entrance, you walk through a lovely small courtyard area, after which the property is named, with seating and on into the cottage which oozes old world charm and period features from every room. The lounge has a very warm and cosy feel with its chesterfield sofa and wing backed chairs to relax in and exposed brick chimney breast.  The pretty country kitchen/diner overlooking the garden is very well equipped and bathed in light from the large window overlooking the garden. All the bedrooms are very light and airy and there is a spacious bathroom with a roll top bath to relax and refresh tired limbs after exploring the local area.

Whether you are a couple wanting a romantic getaway, a family seeking a fun-filled holiday or walks with your dog, this delightful cottage has a lot to offer. It is a wonderful base to explore this lovely part of the world and Whitby is a very popular seaside town, retaining old world character with lots of events throughout the year. Whatever your interests, there is something for everyone in the locality, historic castles, even older abbeys, museums, farms, walking, cycling, superb local markets with the very best Yorkshire produce and of course restaurants and tea rooms too numerous to mention.

White Yard Cottage makes a lovely place to stay and enjoy a break with a beautiful and secluded rear garden, a charming space to relax maybe catch up on some reading or just soak up the sun as this property is bathed in sunshine for most of the day. And if the clouds roll over, you can retire to the gorgeous summer house.

Fantastic cottage. Fantastic location. Fantastic hosts. So clean, with such a thoughtful well equipped kitchen. (The range of dog bowls alone provided was amazing.) Gorgeous bath, comfortable bed. The best welcome pack I think we have experienced, dog treats included. Lovely garden, even in September it was a little sun trap. Vinnie ouRead morer dachshund particularly enjoyed squirrel watching. Hoping to return in the new year. Thanks so much, a perfect stay. Hide
