Property code: OC-W454

A characterful, stone cottage with a leafy courtyard garden, nestled along a hidden lane in the Georgian town of Whitby on the rugged Yorkshire coast. Brimming with nautical charm, this delightful property is the ideal stay for families or groups of friends and their canine companion. This compact property provides everything you need for a relaxing holiday by the sea. At low tide, fill your lungs with fresh ocean air as you embark on a pleasant amble along the coastal route from Whitby to Sandsend (3 miles), then relax with al fresco refreshments in the courtyard.

This thoughtfully styled property boasts a cheery cottage interior with cool grey and soft blue tones, rustic exposed beams, and cosy furnishings. Venture along the paved pathway adorned with potted plants then step inside. Step down into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner and prepare a spot of afternoon tea or whip up a simple supper. Fold out the dining table to enjoy a family feast or choose to eat out at one of a wide variety of local eating places. In winter months, curl up on the comfy sofa and enjoy the warmth of the real coal effect electric fire. Rest up in the three inviting bedrooms upstairs, consisting of a bright twin, a double, and an airy single – each with elegant wrought iron bed frames. Early risers can sip their morning coffee from the tranquil courtyard while planning out the day's adventures.

Keen historians will be in their element scoping out the gothic ruins of Whitby Abbey (200 metres). Peruse the selection of boutiques and independent cafes nestled along the cobbled streets of Whitby (within 100 metres) or fossil hunt on the rugged shores of Robin Hood’s Bay (5 miles).

The property was lovely, however there could be just a couple of things that would make it better....there was tea and coffee but no milk...just a pint popped into the fridge would make all the difference after a long car journey....also we discovered that the fridge door shelf was removed because of being broken before our arrival...making storagRead moree in the fridge a little difficult....the only other suggestion would be at the end of the season or periodically check over the equipment etc and replace tired with new. Other than that every thing was good. Hide

Nice location but the cottage is very tired. The living room chair is stained and the locks to the doors to both entrances are pretty ropey. The photographs make the property feel much more fresh, new and loved than it actually is.

The property was quirky and well equipped. It was in a central location in Whitby and close to the shops and harbour. Access to the property was challenging in terms of the 2 flights of stone steps leading up to the front door. Although there was free parking available on street, this was some distance from the property.. These details are importaRead morent and should be made clearer on the website. Hide

Lovely location and not much of a problem unloading car and carrying to the location as the streets were fairly empty for Christmas. The living space downstairs was so tiny and not very comfortable for being indoors in winter but the kitchen was well stocked and oven was easy to use. It wasnt very warm downstairs but upstairs was very warm. Hot waRead moreter was patchy and never very hot. There was some nice decorations for Christmas. The steep stairs had been mentioned but werent much of a problem. My main issue was the fridge, I asked for measurement as it had been mentioned how small it was and I was told 84cms. However this was the height of the whole fridge freezer unit and the fridge was only half that, so we could not refrigerate all we had bought for Christmas. Hide
