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

Stayed here twice . Absolutely love it. We will be back again for sure . So comfortable and convenient for everything. Just never want to go home ❤️

Mrs M,

We love Smugglers Cottage and the location. However the cleanliness and hygiene of the property has completely deteriorated. We had to clean stair bannister and doors. And the en-suite was smelly and dirty. The coffee tables need replacing as they are very old now and spoil the decor. The cottage is very overpriced but this is due to its location and especially the balcony. We have appreciated the discounts that have been awarded.

Mrs Janet S,

The cottage is in a fantastic location, we loved watching the boats and local life from our balcony

Mrs Catherine H,

We had a splendid week - wish it had been a little warmer to be able to sit out on the balcony more often. The situation of the cottage could not have been better.

Mrs Rosemary F,

We really loved the cottage, only down side was that the yard were the cottage was. Needed some attention.. Has first impressions were not good. A small window in the cottage door had cardboard up has it looked like a pane of glass was broken, and was off putting. Flowers would have brightened it up, even if plastic.

Mr Angela W,

Perfect location, balcony was a bonus. Just the two of us so enough room, may be a little small for four adults. Lounge seating could be better.
