  • Family-friendly converted fisherman’s cottage in the historic coastal gem of Whitby

Property code: OC-W793

Immerse yourself in this wonderfully appointed seaside cottage with everything the modern family needs for an enjoyable stay on the Yorkshire coastline. Nestled in quiet yard behind small town streets and accessible via a passage and steep steps, this cottage really does capture the essence of life in a traditional seaside spot. Whitby itself is a fantastic town with a rich literary history, fascinating abbey and delectable beach. Book in for one of many activities with the kids throughout your stay, perhaps embracing the Dracula Experience or a coastal cruise for the chance to spot basking whales (all within 0.5 miles). In the evening, be sure to appreciate a catch of the day at a local restaurant or fish and chip shop as seafood really doesn’t get fresher than this.

Climb the steps to enter this characterful and ever-cosy cottage. Enter straight into the well-equipped kitchen which has been fitted with everything you may need for the duration of your stay. There’s a breakfast bar with stools right here for keeping the designated cook company, as well as an electric oven, gas hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and coffee machine for your use. Meals can be served in the dining room, located a few steps up. Here you’ll find patio door access to the outside for letting the fresh air in during warmer months. A couple of further steps lead up to the lounge, a spot that’s been decorated and planned with guests of all ages in mind. The Smart TV with streaming facilities, CD player and abundance of books and games ensures you’ll always be entertained – dim the lights and sink into an inviting chair. On the first floor you'll find a family bedroom comprised of a triple bunk bed and plenty of storage. Here you'll also find a fitted bathroom with shower over bath, additional rainfall shower, WC and heated towel rail. Continue the few steps up to the top floor to find the master bedroom with far-reaching views across Whitby's rooftops and harbour to the abbey. This king-size bedroom with smart TV is both a wonderful space to drift away in and wake up to.

Despite its sought-after town centre location, this Whitby property also provides a generous allocation of outdoor space for use when the sun shines. Step out into the rear patio with furniture for outdoor dining, a firepit and a handy summer house. Alternatively check the tides and weather and take some of the folding chairs from the summerhouse to the beach.

Another really enjoyable stay at Starlight cottage. Love the view across to the Abbey from the main bedroom. We find the location of the cottage excellent and its position is very quiet.

A lovely cottage in an excellent location, tucked away from the road makes it perfect for when you want to get properly away from real life. Would definitely recommend and hope to return in future.
