This charming holiday cottage boasts a prime position in the centre of Whitby, close to the bustling harbour, independent eateries, and sandy beaches. The property sleeps four guests, making it ideal for small families and couples, and has a sociable, open-plan layout. Nearby local attractions include Whitby Museum, Whitby Abbey, and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (all within 1 mile).

A flight of steps lead to the apartment block’s lobby, and from here you can access the light and bright holiday home. Decorated in a contemporary style, the accommodation has an open-plan layout that’s ideal for spending quality time with friends and family. Test out new recipes together in the sleek kitchen area and gather around the wooden dining table for dinner parties and family celebrations. After a busy day, sink into the sumptuous sofas to watch TV or read a book. The property has two inviting bedrooms – a king-size and a twin – and a family bathroom. Doors lead from the king-size bedroom to the cute patio area, where you’ll find a bistro set for sipping a morning coffee and planning your day.

Spend your days relaxing on one of Whitby’s four sandy beaches, or head down to the bustling harbour to sample local seafood or hop on a boat to go wildlife watching (dolphins and whales are regularly spotted off the coast). There are some stunning walks in and around Whitby, including along the coast path to the smugglers’ haunt of Robin Hood’s Bay (6 miles). Heading inland, you’ll soon reach the North York Moors National Park (approx. 2 miles), where you can stroll through heather-clad moorland and explore the quaint Yorkshire towns and villages.

A little gem of a place. Quiet location, but close, easy walking distance to town centre, either down some steps or down the slight hill. A real bonus was secure underground parking. I highly recommend this place, it's clean and comfortable, it will be the first place I would try to book if I come back to whitby

We really enjoyed staying in this property - it has everything that you need and is really comfortable. It is in a quiet location but still within walking distance of everything you need.The only downside is that the wifi was not very strong but I understand that is an issue throughout the town.

Lovely property, the location is ideal only being 5 minutes walk away from Whitby Harbour and the private parking is a huge bonus. The property itself was clean and well-equipped and the property owner was lovely and a pleasure to deal with. We have stayed in this property a few times and will definitely be back.

The facilities and contents of the let were first class and it would be difficult to suggest how these could be improved upon. The private car park is a definite plus due to the parking in Whitby being problematic during busier times. Less than 5 minutes walk from shops, bars, restaurants etc. made Driftwood a perfect location and free from trafficRead more noise. I would highly recommend to prospective holiday makers for either a short or long term break. Hide
