Reef Knot Cottage (was 2 Mount Square)

Set within an older, quieter part of town and just 0.25 miles from the town's famous beach, this spacious cottage is perfect for exploring a coastal section of the Cleveland Way. It’s just 50 metres from Westcliff meaning you can access the town easily. Inviting five guests to unwind amongst homely features, this Yorkshire holiday home has the rare bonus of a private parking space in the centre of Whitby.

This beautiful terrace home is part of two rows of cottages situated in a quiet area near the Khyber Pass amidst buildings representing a much older part of Whitby and provides welcoming social spaces across two storeys for all the family to enjoy. Store the fresh bread you’ve bought in Botham’s Bakery just around the corner and explore the interior. The south-facing lounge is comfortably furnished with sofas; spend time sitting back, chatting through your adventures, watching a film on the Smart TV or playing one of the many games and jigsaw puzzles provided. The kitchen/diner has plenty of thoughtful extras courtesy of the new owner, meaning the chef of your group can whip up delicious dinners as the rest of the group gathers around the table to discuss the next day of Whitby sightseeing. At bedtime, choose from three bedrooms upstairs. The master bedroom faces south, meaning it takes advantage of the Yorkshire sunshine. It has a king-size bed along with a dressing table and stool for getting yourself ready. The remaining bedrooms, a twin and a single, are compact and provide the perfect spot for a restful night’s sleep. The family bathroom is also on this floor and, for convenience, there is another WC downstairs.

A little stroll of 300 metres takes you right into the heart of Whitby, leading you to independent shops, boutiques, restaurants, cafes, bars and much more. Spend whole days swimming in the sea and building sandcastles on Whitby's fabulous beach, or sample other stunning shorelines, including Sandsend Beach (2 miles) or Kettleness (6 miles). Discover many fascinating activities on your doorstep, like the Dracula Experience, the Whalebone Arch, the Captain Cook Memorial Museum and the imposing Whitby Abbey. Heading inland, you can spend a day exploring the beautiful North York Moors National Park, which begins a mere 3 miles away.
