Reviews

The cottage was of a very high standard and well equipped. It was in a perfect situation being a few minutes walk into Whitby town. I would thoroughly recommend it

Mrs J P,

The property is well laid out. This property is not for people with a disability that stops them climbing stairs and steps. It was perfect for us. Beautiful decor, large rooms, attention to detail. We managed to park right outside but we never moved the car until we left, bonus. The town centre is 5 minute walk over the bridge. The beach 10 minute walk. We took Wilf the Labradoodle, he loved it... We would have liked to stay longer...next time.. thank you.

Mrs Lindy A,

What a beautifully decorated cute cottage ! We and our dog came for 4 nights in the middle of November and were delighted with the warmth and comfort of the cottage, given, as expected, the weather was not totally friendly. Even so, Whitby ws as charming as ever and we certainly hope to return to Navigator's Rest when the beach is a bit more inviting

Previous Customer,

Approaching the cottage from The Ropery I didn’t really know what to expect as the road isn’t the nicest, but once inside it was absolutely fantastic. Every attention to detail and so many thoughtful touches. We had a fantastic time here for my wife’s 50th birthday.

Mr J S,

Amazing cottage, so clean and modern!

Miss C S,

Area Information

Whitby
Whitby is a popular choice for visitors all year round. It is well known for its long sandy beach and delicious seafood. The river Esk flows through the town to the sea and cottages are perched on the hills on each side, with cobbled streets and historic yards providing a maze of places to explore. The town has a fantastic mix of modern shops and services, traditional stores and boutique shops. Whitby jet continues to be made into beautiful jewellery and sold in a number of shops.  There are plenty of excellent restaurants which serve local fish and seafood, as well as a wonderful choice of cafes and tearooms.

The ruins of Whitby Abbey stand dominantly on the clifftop and can be reached by climbing the 199 steps from the old town. The Abbey is said to have been the inspiration for Bram Stoker's novel Count Dracula, and its gothic splendour is the perfect place from which to take in some truly stunning views over the town, harbour and coastline. Whitby harbour is steeped in history and visitors can see where British explorer Captain James Cook first worked as an apprentice before setting sail and discovering Australia. A statue of this great explorer stands proudly above the town, along with some huge whalebones, a sign of the town's maritime history. The harbour is a buzz of activity and you can enjoy early mornings watching the fishing boats come ashore before getting first choice of their catch of the day.

There's always something happening throughout the town, with festivals and fairs are held throughout the year. These include Whitby Folk Week and the Whitby Regatta, and there are two popular Goth festivals each year. For more information on Whitby and the surrounding area and local events see our Yorkshire Coast Guide and the Festivals & Events Guide.
