Property code: OC-W018

Discover the Gothic town of Whitby during your stay in this homely three-bed property with quirky features such as a handcrafted spiral staircase and a narrow decked garden. Explore the local historical landmarks, relax on the sandy beach and treat yourself to a meal out at a seafood restaurant. You’ll also be surrounded by the North York Moors National Park if you want a day of tranquillity in nature.

The upside-down layout of this property means that the open-plan kitchen diner on the first floor boasts views over the historic cobble-stone Church Street through the large box window. Spend your evenings with your feet up on the leather sofas in this tranquil neutral-toned room and dine with your loved ones at the wooden table with seating for four. Continue into the homely and bright kitchen with shaker-style cabinets and plenty of surface space for preparing a home-cooked meal. Down the handcrafted staircase on the ground floor is a bathroom, a single bedroom and an outside utility room. The second floor contains another bathroom plus two bedrooms – a double and a single. Outside is a small enclosed patio with a picnic bench.

During your stay in Whitby’s old town, you’ll be within easy reach of a small sandy beach, a handful of eateries, a tea room, an art gallery, cafes and plenty of quirky shops (within 500 metres). Climb the 199 Steps to reach the ruins of Whitby Abbey (less than 0.5 miles). Cross the River Esk to reach the centre of Whitby (0.5 miles). Spend an afternoon on Whitby Beach (0.5 miles) and stroll along the seafront to reach Sandsend Beach (2.5 miles). Delve into the history of the town at the Captain Cook Memorial Museum and brave the Dracula Experience (both within 0.5 miles).

Very well fitted out on three floors around a spiral staircase. All rooms more than adequate. All very clean. Brilliant location being very close to Church Street shops, bars, restaurants and with a rare parking space (if you are a confident driver!) Being very close to bars brings it's own drawbacks. Lots of associated noise around closing time,Read more even drowned out the seagulls! Hide

Perfect location and very much appreciated the on site parking. Lovely views of Church street whilst relaxing in the lounge and front bedrooms and everything we needed in the kitchen. Made use of the scrabble and tv! This was our second stay and we will be returning. The spiral staircase may be challenging for people who have difficulty with balanRead morece or walking. Hide

This is the second time this year we have used Chapel cottage and it was even better than the first. Excellent location, lovely cottage, clean and comfortable. Parking is a little tight but adequate for our needs. Love staying here and I will be back soon

Fantastic central location. Great the property came with secured parking. The home was lovely, but it did have 2 spiral staircases, which if you have mobility issues then could be a struggle. Definitely would recommend this property.

We had a lovely stay in Whitby. The cottage was spotlessly clean, extremely central and well equipped, and having private parking (our SEAT Leon only just fitted) in such a central location is definitely a major bonus! Definitely not for people with limited mobility, or small children as spiral stairs are steep and long.

Excellent cottage. Comfortable beds, brilliant facilities. Ideally situated for exploring Whitby. Clean and well maintained. Kitchen facilities very good and tea, coffee, milk and biscuits were provided. The living room/dining room was superb. Would definitely come again

The cottage is in a perfect position, but is very noisy from 6.15am in the morning. Just needs a deep clean, but we would still recommend it.

It literally has everything you need it's a large cottage but very warm and it has a large single bedroom on the ground floor with a separate shower and toilet which is great for anyone with mobility issues. First floor is the kitchen and living room witRead moreh a large window which overlooks church street ( great for people watching) the second floor has a double and a single room with separate bathroom shower and toilet. It's like coming home for us we love it ! Hide

We really enjoyed our stay at Chapel Gate cottage, the house was spotless and had everything we needed. The parking space was appreciated, made unpacking/packing of the car very straight forward which was a huge bonus. Would definitely return in the future. Thank you.
