Whitby
Whitby is a popular choice for visitors all year round. It is well known for its long sandy beach and delicious seafood. For a different day out, why not climb the famous 199 steps to reach the ruins of Whitby Abbey. It's said to have been the inspiration for Bram Stokers Count Dracula, and its gothic splendour is the perfect place from which to take in some truly stunning views over the town.

Whitby harbour is steeped in history and visitors can see where British explorer Captain James Cook first worked as an apprentice before setting sail and discovering Australia. The harbour is a buzz of activity and you can enjoy early mornings watching the fishing boats come ashore before getting first choice of their catch. There's always something happening throughout the town , and festivals and fairs are held throughout the year including Whitby Goth Festival, Whitby Folk Week and the Whitby Regatta.

Though a little tired, a clean, comfortable cottage (I have advised owners of one or two things that could do with a little attention) - definitely recommend and would happily return! Perfect location

Advertised as real fire and dvd / cd player - neither of these existed. TV had no regular channels to watch, just catch up / app based which required log in. Other than these issues the property is great, fantastic location and the added bonus of a parking space ( 5 mins walk away) was superb.

Lovely, cosy cottage just off the harbour and characterful Flowergate. Quirky layout and traditional decor. We didn't have any Wi-Fi during our stay, that would have been a bonus but wasn't essential. Helpful and friendly owners, and dog friendly. Recommended!
