Oh, Whitby – how you charm us with your oh-so-pretty seaside ways. And this cute-as-a-button period cottage, set along a quiet side street right in the heart of the town, is no exception. Inside, this home brings all the period character you’re chasing with winding staircases, cast iron fireplaces, and original features aplenty. Curl up beside the fire in the snuggly living room and get your glow on – books and games stacked on the bookcase will keep the night flowing. Or rustle up lazy breakfasts for your favourite people in that made-for-action kitchen – the welcome hamper will help with that. When it’s time to stretch those legs, mosey down to Whitby’s maritime centre for an amble about the eclectic shops and traditional inns. Pack up your beach bag for an afternoon on the sandy shores (0.3 miles away) before lip-smacking fish and chips overlooking the sea. Soak up the gothic splendour and tackle the 199 steps of the mighty Abbey. Or don your hiking boots for bracing walks along the Cinder Path. Whatever you’re after, this seaside town has got it by the bucket and spade load.

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...
