Property code: OC-W974

A cosy three-storey property in an enviable location only 500 metres from the ruins of Whitby abbey. Featuring a cosy lounge, a bright and airy kitchen/diner and a large enclosed garden, this dog-friendly cottage is perfect for small groups seeking a relaxing holiday on the North Yorkshire Coast.

This charming cottage sits in an elevated position, just off the cobbles of Church Street in Whitby’s old town. Large rooms with contemporary soft furnishings draped in natural light are found throughout, creating a homely ambience guests look forward to returning to after a long day exploring the area. The ground floor comprises a kitchen/diner, perfect for foodies who love experimenting with local produce, and a family bathroom. The comfortable lounge on the first floor is always a popular gathering point, with the king-size bedroom offering ample storage space off to the side. The second floor is dominated by a double bedroom with ample storage space. Accessed via the lounge, the large enclosed garden, almost unheard of in Whitby, is the perfect size for dog-friendly children’s games and alfresco meals.

Whitby is home to a range of cultural, historical and maritime attractions spanning hundreds of years all within a short distance of each other. The famous abbey ruins stand 500 metres away, and the view from there across the River Esk towards the quayside, harbour and vast beach is a sight to behold. Sandsend (3 miles) is best reached by a bracing walk along the beach, a wander around Robin Hood’s Bay (7 miles) is a must, while the natural landscapes of the North York Moors National Park (2.5 miles) are captivating beyond words.

  • 2 bedrooms - 1 double, 1 twin (zip-and-link beds that can be joined together as a king-size)

Such a beautiful cottage, stunning location, really close to all of the amenities of Whitby. Having a garden with the dogs was an absolute bonus and just made life so much easier. Very well equipt cottage with everything we needed for a fabulous break away. only issue was the wifi wasn't working properly when we arrived, but we soon worked out tRead morehat it was sitting to low on the window sill and wasn't getting a full signal, as soon as we lifted the box up on to the top of the window it worked perfectly. Really comfy bed and the fact there were dogs beds laid out for us was a beautiful touch. They really had thought of everything. Hide

Cottage was absolutely lovely, really enjoyed our stay fantastic garden only one thing I would suggest is a mattress, topper or even new mattresses on the king size bed in the smallest bedroom it wasnt uncomfortable, but just needed that little bit more to give it perfect comfort other than that everything was perfect
