Feel right at home in this fantastically cosy cottage in the heart of the seaside town of Whitby. This enticing three-storey cottage invites a family of four to nestle within characterful surroundings after long days at the beach.

Follow the cobbled streets of Whitby to find yourself outside your pretty holiday home. Let yourselves in, drop the bags down and discover an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner that oozes relaxation. Choose your spot on the sofa after a busy day and lose yourself in a good book accompanied by a steaming mug of cocoa. Whip up post-beach dinners in the well-appointed kitchen and come together around the dining table for evenings of Yorkshire fare and stacks of laughter. Take your nightcap out to the gorgeous courtyard garden and sip against the starlight backdrop. Follow steep, cottage-style steps up to the first floor, where a delightfully decorated double bedroom provides a great night's rest, while on the top floor sits a handy twin room with a beautiful beamed, vaulted ceiling. In the morning, freshen up in the first-floor family bathroom and prepare a hearty breakfast ready for the busy day ahead.

You'll be right in the centre of the action at this stunning seaside property. Within an easy walk, visit the many shops and eateries on your doorstep, while a short distance takes you to the renowned Whitby Abbey. Climb the 199 steps to the top and grab some magnificent snaps of the coastline and headland. Tate Hill Beach is a mere 100 metres from the cottage and provides long sun, sea and sandcastle days, while the traditional seaside pier of Whitby provides classic donkey rides, cafes, and a plethora of ice cream parlours (0.5 miles).

Fantastic cottage and location. The cottage had everything both inside and out for a great holiday. The bonus was a small outside seating area ideal for sunny evenings with a glass of wine.

Porthole Cottage is a little gem. It is hidden away in a beautiful quiet yard but is only minutes from the centre of Whitby. The very best of both worlds --- and that is hard to find. We have stayed there many time with previous owners, but the current owner has made superb improvements. Every where is spotlessly clean, has beautiful quality beddinRead moreg and towels and has nurtured the charm of the old building. We love it, and would highly recommend. We will be back soon. Thank you. Hide
