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.

Reviews

Perfect location, lovely cottage with bags of room and everything we needed for a family Easter Break

Mr K,

Lovely, quirky, comfortable cottage in a brilliant location. In a small secluded yard just a minute from the centre of Whitby with its great range of shops, pubs, restaurants and all round Whitby niceness. We had a really great holiday. The open fire is a lovely touch during winter (our trip here being in December) and the kitchen appliances were all quite new and worked well.

Mr L,

Property was very quirky and comfortable a very central location close to the harbour with easy reach of the car park.

Mrs B,

House was a period property with associated creaks and doors that didn’t close properly but that was the charm of the place. Overall very comfortable and convenient location.

Mr James B,

Location and comfort of facility is first class. Ease of booking and communication superb

Mr Adrian B,

Thank you for a lovely stay in this fab & quirky cottage. We've had a brilliant time. Your guidance & info book was so helpful & we favoured some suggestions.

Past Customer,

Had a super time as always, great to be back in our happy place, roll on October. Thanks for everything.

Past Customer,

Overall I was pleased but you didn't include the severely uneven floors in the property info. As a person with dysautonomia who suffers dizziness and poor balance, I needed to know that. Also, the garden table and chairs were quite disgustingly filthy and therefore unusable. They were covered in bird faeces. I know it's the seaside so there's seagulls about but that table hadn't even attempted to be cleaned for weeks or months. It meant we couldn't sit outside or eat outside even though the weather was nice enough to do so.

Miss Sarah M,

Great location and beautiful building. We found the bed a little uncomfortable and know that our dogs need some grass in the property for next time. But we had a lovely stay and loved how close the property was to everything. The living room with the open fire was beautiful.

Mrs Ilse W,

Lovely cottage ..no frying pan though !
