Visit the eclectic town of Whitby and stay in this charming character cottage, a former fisherman’s home with quirky features around every corner. Located at the heart of the Gothic coastal town, this holiday home is just a stone’s throw from the beach, harbour, and the imposing Whitby Abbey. Step out onto the second-storey roof terrace to enjoy patches of sunshine, gazing out over the rooftops of Whitby and out towards the sea. The property accommodates up to six guests and is pet friendly, making it an excellent choice for any family or a group of fun-seeking friends.
Rickety wooden steps, floor-to-ceiling bookcases, and nautical design elements are just some of the features that make this cottage so unique. Enter through the stone ginnel and step into the open-plan living space, perfect for socialising. Let the open fire blaze in the corner while you go about your day, pottering around the kitchen and dining table before settling into the sofa. Upstairs, three bedrooms are spread across two upper floors. A double and a twin are on the first floor, and a final twin room is located on the second, along with the family bathroom. Outside, a roof terrace and a charming courtyard with seating offer the perfect spaces to unwind outdoors. Long-stay public parking is available and free on-street parking is available nearby.
As soon as you step outside, you'll find yourself surrounded by Whitby’s many attractions, including the beaches, Gothic architecture, Dracula-themed walking tours, and maritime history sites. Walk up the 199 steps to Whitby Abbey (0.5 miles) or past the Whalebone Arch (0.5 miles) on your way to the beach. The rest of the North Yorkshire coast beckons for further exploration, including the must-visit village of Robin Hood's Bay (5.5 miles), which is accessible via the scenic cliff-top paths.
