Discover the history and colour of Whitby when you book this cottage right at the heart of the Yorkshire town. This three-storey holiday hideaway is situated just 0.5 miles from the famous abbey ruins mentioned in the celebrated Gothic novel, Dracula. It is also less than 350 metres from the beach. Sleeping six guests, the cottage has three bedrooms and a small courtyard, making it a great year-round option for families and friends.
Enter the cheery retreat and head into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Settle in the lounge area to discuss your day and perhaps watch a black and white horror movie on the Smart TV, in preparation for any Dracula-related activities the following day. Gather round the table in the dining area to play cards or enjoy the meals you have made with Yorkshire produce bought in the town. Open the doors to the courtyard on summer days. The modern kitchen area, with everything you need to make self-catering easy, is conveniently adjacent. There is also a WC downstairs. When eyelids begin to droop, ascend to the upper levels of the cottage. A double bedroom, with an en-suite shower room, a twin and the family bathroom are all on the first floor, while a king-size bedroom is on the level above also with an en-suite shower room. From here, you will wake up to magnificent views out across the town. Savour your outside space, which is rare in Whitby, on warm days. Take the sea air over morning coffee out here before striking out on your next excursion. There is private, off-road parking for one car.
Keen walkers might like to follow a 7-mile section of the Cleveland Way, along the cliff tops, from Whitby to Robin Hood’s Bay. Venture less than 2 miles to find yourselves in the spectacular North York Moors National Park.
