Property code: OC-W014

Treat yourself to a wholesome getaway in this charming and characterful resorted fisherman’s cottage with sea views, wooden beamed ceilings, a traditional gas range fireplace and exposed stone walls. Make memories with your family or other half, plus one four-legged friend while exploring the delights of Whitby, relaxing on the beach and venturing further afield into the surrounding woodland and nature reserves of North York Moors National Park.

Step inside the welcoming open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner which is decorated with rustic furnishings, a gentle coastal theme and homely ornaments. Surrounding the eye-catching traditional gas fireplace is a leather sofa and an armchair where you can kick back and watch the SmartTV while Fido curls up by your feet. Behind this is a boldly coloured ‘L’-shaped fitted kitchen and a folding table and chairs. The first floor contains an elegant double bedroom with a feature fireplace and a bathroom with a claw foot bath. A twin room can be found on the second floor.

This property is located across the river from the centre of Whitby (0.5 miles) in a quiet area but still within easy reach of the array of seafood restaurants, cosy cafes and quirky shops (within 0.5 miles). A small patch of sandy shore is less than 200 metres away and the main Whitby Beach is 1 mile away. Just behind the property are the 199 Steps and the imposing 657AD Whitby Abbey (less than 500 metres). Stroll to the Whitby Harbour East Lighthouse and cross the river to find the Whalebone Arch and Whitby Pavilion (both within 1 mile).

Doris cottage is in a brilliant location within Whitby and having a secure parking spot (a 5 minute walk away) was definitely an added bonus. It is a cosy little old cottage.

Beautiful cottage, fantastic location, didn't need our car once parked up for the whole week, which was nice not to have to drive, Lots and independent shops literally round the corner, get beach and if you get chance go on a boat ride to see the seals, had an amazing time, Doris cottage is homely and the surrounding are perfect.

Great location, bonus car space although quite a way from the cottage and a very tight space, cosy and traditional with everything you could need.

Lovely little cottage right at the foot of the 199 stairs. Great location for walks around Whitby. Car Park location is a little bit from the cottage but it didnt take anything away from our time.
