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.

Lovely cottage, well equipped and comfortable. Great location, pubs, cafes and restaurants all very close by. 5/10 minute walk to the Whale Bones. 10 minute walk to harbour front. Off road parking at cottage a great extra in an area where parking can be very difficult. Would book again.

This property is ideal in its central location, cleanliness and mostly satisfactory equipment and 2 parking spaces. The bedrooms and bathrooms are great. The downstairs is tight, the kitchen/dining/ living area is confined, you have to move the couch to use the dining chairs, move a dining chair to access the dishwasher and there isnt really much sRead morepace to bring in a childs buggy without blocking the narrow hall. There is lots to recommend in this house but l feel the unconventional check out time and instructions re stripping beds etc is a disadvantage especially since there werent any cleaners waiting to enter at 9.30. I would recommend for adults with teenagers rather than younger children. There wasnt an enclosed yard for the dog which l assumed there would be but theres plenty of places to walk a dog. Hide

We had a lovely time & the cottage is beautiful. The location is perfect & the carparking spaces are an additional bonus. We didn't use the pull- out bedside tables but did notice the one in the twin room could have done with a clean as there was a used plaster in there. Also I've never been asked to strip beds & hoover up before we left. I wouldRead more definitely come back though & recommend to family & friends. Hide

Great cottage in a good location. Parking is a premium in Whitby so it was good to know my car was not going to get a ticket or be parked a way off. Comfortable and clean with everything you could need. A short walk into the town with friendly pubs along the way which are dog friendly too which is a bonus.

The property was in a great location & the two parking spaces were an added bonus. Only grumbles are that there is only comfy seating for 5 people when the property is for 6, and the single beds are only suitable for children, very uncomfortable, although all the rooms were spacious and had plenty of storage space. Towels, it does say these are iRead morencluded which they are, however I would recommend taking your own as only one small, thin bath towel was provided per person. Pots and pans could do with replacing and the washing machine was very noisy. Other than that we had a great time. Hide

The Old stables is a very relaxing place to stay. It is fully functional with everything you need. The outdoor space with furniture was a wonderful place to sit out and enjoy the surroundings. I will book the old stables again without hesitation on our next visit to Whitby.
