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.

A cosy cottage well positioned. We visited out of season so it was relatively quiet and peaceful but can imagine it could be a little noisy around the cottage in the evening in busier times. It was smaller than we thought but was fine for two people. I could imagine it would be a squeeze for 4 people. Also, being on 4 levels the stairs could be a cRead morehallenge for some people. As a relatively fit couple this wasn't a big issue for us. Overall a lovely break. Hide

Clean , comfortable and interesting property. 2 Adults and 2 children , great location and parking permit was really appreciated. I would only suggest anybody with mobility negotiation to understand layout of property, being on 4 floors and bathroom on bottom floor. A lovely property and caring owners. Happy to stay at this property again.

Excellent location and for a couple of days great. A bit of an issue with being woken up by birds on the roof very early but not sure what anyone could do about that. They seem to be nesting up there.

Overall property was good and very clean and well equipped. My only criticism was the way front door opened....you had to step into the bathroom or up first stair in order to get round the door to close or open it which was not easy with a dog. Each of us had to either stand in bathroom doorway or on stair to follow previous person out.
