Nestled in Whitby, you’re perfectly positioned for coastal walks, sightseeing in the nearby town and beach days on Whitby Beach. And when you’re seeking total rest and relaxation, you’ll find this cosy and inviting cottage waiting. This home features all those original details you seek out in a rural cottage – wooden beams, vaulted ceilings, a fire-burning hearth and a country-style kitchen for whipping up family favourites after a day ambling the hiking paths. Perfect for families visiting with their furry friend in tow, this space feels like a snug sanctuary. Start the day with a leisurely English breakfast around the dining table as you plan the day, and when the weather isn’t on your side, the living room will invite you to cosy up with a movie by the fire – we suggest an accompanying glass of locally-produced Pinot Noir. Days in Whitby can be spent along the sands soaking up the sun or perusing the narrow streets and independent boutiques. You’ll also find the iconic 7th-century Whitby Abbey just a short drive away. By night, take a sunset boat trip, then settle into a local pub for a comforting dinner.

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...
