An incredibly comfortable cosy cottage. Brilliantly situated for shops, pubs, cafes and the iconic 199 steps.

Fantastic location for the Steps, the Abbey, the Brewery and local shops. All amenities catered for. Small beach nearby is ideal for letting your dog have a run around. Having parking included in the booking is also a great help, albeit across the bridge so you have to unpack at the cottage beforehand. For those who have not visited Whitby before, Read morethe cottage is located just off a cobbled road that in areas is only wide enough for one car therefore you may have to move your car if another comes along. I would definitely recommend this cottage for its quirkiness and location. Very cosy. Hide

Doris cottage is in a brilliant location within Whitby and having a secure parking spot (a 5 minute walk away) was definitely an added bonus. It is a cosy little old cottage.

Beautiful cottage, fantastic location, didn't need our car once parked up for the whole week, which was nice not to have to drive, Lots and independent shops literally round the corner, get beach and if you get chance go on a boat ride to see the seals, had an amazing time, Doris cottage is homely and the surrounding are perfect.

Great location, bonus car space although quite a way from the cottage and a very tight space, cosy and traditional with everything you could need.

We loved the location of Doris, right in the heart of whitby.. enjoyed watching the people climbing the steps! The cottage was very cute and it was a very comfortable bed, plenty of equipment for cooking although we didnt use it ! . We had a great holiday and we were quite sad to leave our little cottage! Thank you
