Situated in a peaceful and idyllic courtyard in the heart of Whitby, this charming cottage for two is a hidden base on Yorkshire's rugged coastline. Perfect for a cosy couple or a single traveller, this home has plenty of charm and lots of comforts. Take a seat on the bench on the patio and relax with a glass of wine. Inside, there are nods to Whitby's maritime history all around this home, from the boat oar displayed over the fireplace to the artwork of donkeys on the beach. Stroll through Whitby's picturesque streets – it's just a one-minute walk to iconic Flowergate – one of Whitby's oldest and most historic thoroughfares. The Blue Flag West Cliff beach and promenade is just a short five-minute saunter, or climb the famous 199 steps up to the Church of Saint Mary under a ten-minute amble. Of course, you must visit the ruins of Whitby Abbey (twelve minutes on foot) while you're here, too, impressively towering over the coastal town.

About Whitby
Famously the setting of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, there’s something hauntingly beautiful about Whitby. The ruins of Whitby Abbey, set atop a windy hill overlooking the town, are just like a scene from a gothic novel. When the sun sets, ghost tours amble through the cobbled streets, revealing the town’s dramatic history. By day it’s all idyllic fishing village vibes, with a hint of Victorian holidays. Colourful cottages that have seen...
