Situated in the beautiful area of Captain Cook’s Haven, this charming property is perfect for couples seeking a romantic retreat, or for smaller families wanting a relaxing getaway within easy reach of Whitby and the North York Moors. Offering cosy accommodation for up to four guests, the cottage is close to the River Esk and the Larpool Viaduct where you can see steam trains crossing the valley. The centre of Whitby is just 2 miles away, with its beautiful sandy beach, bustling harbour and wide range of great places to eat and drink. Popular attractions in the town include the Dracula Experience, Whalebone Arch, the Captain Cook Memorial Museum and the ruins of Whitby Abbey, accessed via the famous 199 steps.

On entering this bright and welcoming holiday cottage, the porch leads you through to the airy and tastefully furnished lounge/diner which makes a lovely space to relax in. Featuring a TV, plenty of seating and a wood burner-effect electric fire, the light and inviting lounge has large windows and makes a great space to sit back and chat about the day’s events. The dining area to the rear is ideal for enjoying a family meal or a romantic dinner. An archway leads through to the stylishly designed kitchen which has a range of useful equipment so you can prepare all your favourite dishes. Going upstairs, there are two fresh and relaxing bedrooms – a charming king-size room and a spacious twin room – along with a pleasant family bathroom with a choice of complimentary bath products.

Stepping outside, a sweet patio is enclosed by a fence and features garden furniture, providing a delightful spot for dining alfresco. There’s also a large, shared lawn with a children’s playground and BBQ. G

Property was as described although not a fully enclosed garden/terrace. Now small charge for use of pool. Grounds lovingly cared for. Lovely riverside location. Site Staff lovely, friendly and helpful. Easy walk to Whitby and ideal for touring the area .

The cottage was ideally placed for walking into Whitby - car parking essential and the property accepted dogs.my only complaint was the security lights outside, you didnt need to use lights inside the property, maybe lined or blackout curtains-loved the pictures around the Whitby area, fantastic cottage had everything we needed, thank you

We found the property met our needs very well. Quiet location with views over to the moors from some windows. Well furnished and comfortable. A short and scenic walk into Whitby along the Cinder Track passing over the viaduct. We would stay here again.

Very good cottage, well equipped and a short walk to Whitby centre. Garden is not enclosed as stated which was disappointing given we booked it because of this due to having a dog.

The cottage we stayed in was lovely with plenty of room and of very high quality. The site was superb, very child friendly and in a quiet picturesque setting. We would most definitely go back.
