This 300-year-old fisherman’s retreat is situated in a small yard at the entrance of the cobbled part of Church Street, right in the heart of Whitby. Full of character, steeped in history and original features, this is a wonderful cosy cottage with the modern convenience of a contemporary bathroom and well-equipped kitchen. The south facing outside seating area is a fantastic bonus and offers a peaceful haven away from the hustle and bustle.
The accommodation is on three levels with characteristic steep stairs.
