A characterful and colourful cottage tucked away in a pretty yard in the centre of Whitby, around 100 metres from its famous quayside. Featuring a homely lounge, ample kitchen/diner and an enclosed rear garden, this seaside-themed cottage is ideal for families or two couples interested in the history and culture of the North Yorkshire Coast.
Set between Cliff Street and Haggersgate, the cottage is accessed via steps leading off Bakehouse Yard, one of the area’s most popular thoroughfares. The neatly presented lounge is a welcoming space, with a wood burner-effect electric fire and comfy sofas. Head through to the light and bright kitchen/diner for sociable meals, over which you can plan the next day's adventures. A staircase in the lounge leads up to the first floor, home to a double bedroom and bunk bedroom. Up here you'll also find the family bathroom, where you can enjoy a relaxing soak in the tub or a refreshing shower. Outside, you'll find a small, attractive enclosed garden.
Whitby’s vibrant quayside lies within 100 metres of the cottage, an area dominated by shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Whitby’s old town, found across the River Esk via the famous Swing Bridge, offers a unique glimpse into the area’s past and is home to a host of cultural and historical attractions. The abbey ruins (within 0.5 miles) are well worth the 199-step climb from the old town, not least for the view of the harbour and the pier that reaches out into the North Sea. The winding streets and vast beach at Robin Hood’s Bay (7 miles) are always worth exploring if there is a day to spare, while the natural scenery of the North York Moors National Park (2.5 miles) is simply incredible.
