Reviews

This is easily the cleanest and best kept cottage we have stayed in at Whitby, everything is spotless and fresh. Excellent location, 5 minutes walk from town and a quiet location. Nice welcome pack on arrival. We would definitely return and recommend.

Mr H,

Just ticks all the boxes

Mr N,

A wonderful cosy cottage with everything you could need and more. We had a wonderful stay and would love to return when it gets a bit warmer.

Miss D,

Excellent

Mr C,

The accommodation was of a very high standard, but also comfortable and homely. The hosts had thought of everything!

Ms Claire G,

We had a lovely mini moon here at Peartree Cottage. Beautifully appointed. Spotlessly clean. The welcome pack was amazing. Thank you.

Past Customer,

Hidden gem of a cottage. Both been to Whitby before but discovered new places to walk and visit. If walking to Sandsend call in at the friendly Hart Inn. Had a lovely christmas here, thank you.

Past Customer,

We had a lovely 3 night stay at your cottage. The xmas decs were a lovely addition and the welcome pack was very thoughtful. Whitby is our local and favourite resort on the east coast, so it was nice to spend a few days/nights here. Many thanks and a Happy New Year to you both.

Past Customer,

We have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay in Pear Tree Cottage. It was so beautifully decorated with lots of character and charm but also very cosy, comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed. Thank you so much.

Past Customer,

An excellent little cottage, and set back enough to not be disturbed by noise. Some beautiful views from all windows. Would definite have booked again for later in the year but sadly was already taken.

Mr B,

We had a lovely holiday in Pear Tree cottage. The cottage itself is very well kept and was kitted out with all the essentials we needed for our stay. It had the most generous welcome package I've ever experienced! They had a range of items featuring art/illustration from local artists, which was a nice touch and the welcome folder had a wealth of information about the cottage, as well as things to do in the area. It was ideally located for our car-free holiday in Whitby (the lack of dedicated parking was no problem for us), within an easy walk of the railway station and town centre shops, restaurants, etc.

Mrs Alison E,

This holiday cottage was amazing. A lovely box of goodies for us, wine, Xmas cake, nice biscuits, teas, coffees and other stuff.

Mrs P,

Cosy cottage in the heart of Whitby, very clean, owners very friendly and helpful.

Mrs Liz G,

Very clean house, great location and a generous welcome box!

Mr R,

Pear tree cottage is a gem - every facility you could wish for and lovely decor. It was a lovely home from home, located in a great spot - very close to the town centre but tucked away off a side street. Highly recommended.

Ms W,

Location

Whitby
Whitby is a popular choice for visitors all year round. It is well known for its long sandy beach and delicious seafood. The river Esk flows through the town to the sea and cottages are perched on the hills on each side, with cobbled streets and historic yards providing a maze of places to explore. The town has a fantastic mix of modern shops and services, traditional stores and boutique shops. Whitby jet continues to be made into beautiful jewellery and sold in a number of shops.  There are plenty of excellent restaurants which serve local fish and seafood, as well as a wonderful choice of cafes and tearooms.

The ruins of Whitby Abbey stand dominantly on the clifftop and can be reached by climbing the 199 steps from the old town. The Abbey is said to have been the inspiration for Bram Stoker's novel Count Dracula, and its gothic splendour is the perfect place from which to take in some truly stunning views over the town, harbour and coastline. 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. A statue of this great explorer stands proudly above the town, along with some huge whalebones, a sign of the town's maritime history. 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 of the day.

There's always something happening throughout the town, with festivals and fairs are held throughout the year. These include Whitby Folk Week and the Whitby Regatta, and there are two popular Goth festivals each year.
