Located in the very heart of Whitby, this characterful cottage sits amid the attractions lining the River Esk. Here, you'll be surrounded by seafood restaurants and charming pubs leading you straight down to the seafront, where West Pier promises an idyllic fishing spot. Alternatively, the Dracula Experience on your doorstep will surely put you in the mood to hike up 199 steps to the must-see Whitby Abbey. Roll out of a comfortable bed each morning, then wander downstairs for a hearty breakfast. Enjoy your cup of tea beneath the traditional wood beams, as you sit on a modern barstool ad discuss your daily itinerary. After an adventure or two, you'll be itching to return home with fish and chips. Be sure to light the log burner because we think your open-plan living space is the perfect place to cosy up with your loved ones. Before bedtime, there's nothing better than a long soak in this freestanding tub while you sip wine.

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.
