Property code: OC-W1033

A romantic holiday escape awaits at this characterful split-level cottage, tucked away down a peaceful lane off Church Street near Whitby Harbour. Blending original features with contemporary touches, this one-bedroom retreat is a great place to hide away after a wonderful day exploring the seaside town’s shops and eateries (300 metres) and wandering along its golden beach, less than half a mile away.

Made cosy by an impressive brick fireplace with a glowing wood burner, a feature of the original building, the open-plan living space is the heart of the home. Watch the Smart TV from the comfort of the sofa or whip up some tasty snacks in the unique kitchen-in-a-cupboard. Your home-cooked delights can be served at the drop-leaf table by the window. The relaxing double bedroom and shower room are reached via a short, turning flight of steps and is a great space to drift off and dream.

While there is no outside space with this property, all of Whitby’s exciting attractions are within easy reach. Grab your chance to explore Bram Stoker’s classic setting of the novel Dracula – the gothic ruins of Whitby Abbey are just a 199-step climb away, a mile from the front door. Both Tate Hill Beach and West Cliff Beach are within half a mile, as are a plethora of quirky cafes, traditional pubs and boutique shops. Whitby is also the ideal starting point to explore other picturesque fishing villages and market towns such as Robin Hood’s Bay or Staithes, both 6 miles away, and Ravenscar, 14 miles.

Very comfortable flat for the money. Location is excellent for visiting the old town particularly when you have activities planned so that you use the flat mainly for sleeping. There are a dozen or so somewhat worn stone steps to the door and steps inside so it's not suitable for anyone with mobility problems though fine for the fully able. The eleRead morectric shower delivers hot water almost immediately and the electric heaters are very adequate. Hide

Tucked away and quite difficult to find. Quite quirky as a place to stay. We enjoyed our stay although it was quite noisy. Not sure if that was guests in other properties or residents. Definitely ok for a short stay.

Lovely little cottage, perfect location. Kitchen in a cupboard is enough to wash up and store drinks. We never cooked as there was so many fabulous places to eat. Log fire was a lovely touch and bed was so comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and will probably book again in the future. Would definitely recommend. Only problem we found was finding it, tRead morehe lovely lady in the art shop assisted us with this Hide

Fabulous location and a little tricky to find, but once you n ow its there its dead easy. Dont plan on cooking anything as its just too small, but with such lovely restaurants around why would you want to cook?

I spent two nights in Salty Sam's, it had everything I needed, there was milk, tea bags and biscuits kindly supplied, I didnt know so I brought my own, I did snaffle a few biscuits though. The cottage is down a twitten, very peaceful but two minutes from being in the centre of things, so the best of both worlds.
