This cottage is the ideal bolthole for exploring Whitby and the enchanting North Yorkshire coastline. It's a home from home, with comforting touches and a muted colour palette inviting you in for a lovely stay. Wake up to the sounds of nearby seagulls and fall asleep to complete silence in this quiet, quaint neighbourhood. Start off your days by popping to the local shop to pick up fresh baked goods for breakfast, it's just a five-minute walk away. Or, you can make the mere minute walk to the local cafe for a good old fry-up. When you're sufficiently full and energised, it's time to explore beautiful Whitby and its cobbled streets, fishermen's cottages, vast beaches, and quaint shops. There's so much to do, whether you want to relax on the beach (weather permitting!), or explore the area's many trails. And of course, no visit to Whitby is complete without a trip to Whitby Abbey. It's just a five-minute drive or fifteen-minute walk away. However you spend your day, you'll love coming home to your cosy cottage.

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.
