A cosy escape to the coast is always a good idea. We love this warm and welcoming cottage in the centre of Whitby. It’s within easy walking distance of the shops, restaurants, and pubs, whether you’re looking for a fish and chip supper or to get lost meandering the narrow streets of Old Town. The Blue Flag beach at West Cliff is just a short stroll away, so make sure you pack your bucket and spade. Bracing walks on the beach in winter and sunny summer holidays can both be enjoyed in this seaside haven. The cottage boasts marvellous views of Whitby Abbey, so even when you’re not out exploring, you can get the most out of this wonderful location. The cottage is comfortable and homely. You’ll likely spend your time relaxing in the living room, curled up watching films, or perhaps playing board games around the dining room table. This is a splendid choice for a family break, and the kind of home-from-home you’ll want to return to again and again.

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.
