A charming 18th-century cottage enjoying stunning views of the abbey and harbour from its first-floor balcony. Well-suited to families or groups keen to explore the North Yorkshire Coast and North York Moors National Park, the cottage features a comfortable lounge, bedrooms across all three floors and near-instant access to a host of attractions on the quayside.
Situated on a narrow street that winds its way towards Captain Cook’s Statue, this period property offers a cosy ambience thanks to a creative use of space across each floor, with a scattering of original features throughout, including the original tiling on the ground floor hallway. The double bedroom on the ground floor offers ample storage space and stands close to the dining room and kitchen, with access to a private yard beyond. A family bathroom and a king-size bedroom with views of the abbey and harbour stand on the first floor, with a comfortable lounge close by. There are yet more lovely views of Whitby from the twin bedroom on the second floor, which is also home to a shower room. Patio doors in the first-floor lounge lead out onto a balcony offering unforgettable panoramic views of the town, which are sure to be the main talking point of the holiday.
Whitby’s charming town centre and quayside lie within 250 metres of the cottage, an area rich in maritime and cultural history. Whitby’s clifftop abbey offers a unique insight into the area’s past and is worth the 199-step climb from the old town alone. Robin Hood’s Bay (7 miles) has been on the “must visit” list for generations, while the beautiful scenery of the North York Moors National Park (2.5 miles) is unforgettable.
