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.

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).

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.

We loved the location of Doris, right in the heart of whitby.. enjoyed watching the people climbing the steps! The cottage was very cute and it was a very comfortable bed, plenty of equipment for cooking although we didnt use it ! . We had a great holiday and we were quite sad to leave our little cottage! Thank you

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.

Lovely, quaint and cosy cottage- ideal location for everything. We spent a birthday weekend exploring the villages of Goatland and Robin Hoods Bay as well as Whitby itself. Then enjoyed relaxing in front of the fire back at the cottage - loved it !!

Location was excellent and the availability of the garage for someone not knowing the area gave peace of mind. The poor score for equipment was the tv the sky dish is out of alignment and can only receive one channel reliably ( Dave channel ) . The cottage was overall very nice and is deserved of its three star rating.

Such a lovely week spent at Doris Cottage in Whitby- our first visit to this area and we were not disappointed. Beautiful well - equipped cottage in a great location. Loved the bells, fish & chips and the Bitz tapas bar around the corner. Hope to visit again - thank you
