Nestled a stone’s throw from Whitby’s quaint harbourside in one of the town’s most famous cobbled yards, this former fisherman’s cottage is the perfect base for families and friends to answer the call of the North Yorkshire coast. The fishing town of Whitby has become synonymous with gothic culture, offering the perfect combination of heritage and natural beauty. Lined with colourful beach huts and stretching for 2 miles, enjoy a traditional bucket and spade day at Whitby West Cliff Beach less than a mile away. On your doorstep, climb the famous 199 Whitby Abbey steps less than half a mile away, leading you from the Old Town up to St. Mary’s Church to be rewarded with spectacular views. Find some fabulous local produce amongst Whitby’s quirky narrow streets lined with independent shops and restaurants in the shadow of the ruins of Whitby Abbey.
Down a characterful stone ginnel, in-keeping with the rich history of your local surroundings, you’ll find the front door of this charming home-from-home that leads straight into the light and bright open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Featuring rustic touches including ceiling beams, natural wood hues and a roaring open fire, a peaceful ambience welcomes you to unwind and dine with loved ones long into the evening. Admire beautiful, exposed brickwork as you climb the cottage-style staircase to the first floor to find two bedrooms, one double and one twin, that offer a haven of tranquillity to retire to at the end of a busy day’s adventure. The second floor encompasses another twin bedroom and a contemporary family bathroom that provides everything you need to kick-start a day’s adventure.
From the second floor, venture out onto the idyllic roof terrace to lose yourself in views across Whitby’s rooftops towards the rugged coastline beyond as you enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of something chilled at sundown. There’s also a pretty courtyard accessed via the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner on the ground floor that’s perfect for a spot of al fresco dining.
