A delightful maisonette centrally located in this historic fishing town, Crooked Cottage is the perfect holiday hideaway from which to explore Whitby. From the atmospheric Abbey towering over winding cobbled streets to the windswept beach and working harbour, Whitby is one of Yorkshire's most popular seaside towns. No trip to this picturesque port would be complete without sampling some award-winning fish and chips, discovering the story of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, learning about English explorer Captain James Cook or seeing the unique Whitby Jet gems. Being by the sea, you'll also get to enjoy classic seaside fun such as sandcastle building, crabbing and walks along the pier.

Entering up the steps to the front door and through the spacious porch, the cosy living area boasts two comfy sofas with plenty of space to relax. The modern, well-equipped kitchen has an extended breakfast bar with high-backed chairs for everyone to share a meal together. Also on this floor is a twin bedroom with an original cast iron fireplace. Take the steep winding staircase from the kitchen to the first floor, where you will find a modern bathroom, fully tiled with a large walk-in shower. Also on this floor is the master bedroom, with fantastic original beams overhead, a double bed and views of Whitby Abbey.

Outside is an enclosed private decked area with a storage shed containing outdoor furniture.

Excellent location. Cottage needs a few maintenance issues sorted but is fine. This is the 5th time I have stopped but please read the access statement as the steps to the cottage are steep and uneven.

Once the cottage had been made ready it was a really good experience and we have stayed here many times before. Just a note there is lots of building work going on around the cottage so this may need to be considered. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review. We can confirm the building work is now completed.

The location is brilliant central and plenty of amenities around. There was everything we needed in the cottage plenty of glasses plates etc. The cottage is crooked by name and crooked by nature. A lot of the original features have been kept but a lot of luxuries added. The floors and stairs are quirky and wonky in places but this adds to the cRead moreharm. The courtyard is welcoming at the end of the day to catch any last rays and have a drink. The entrance is through an alley way and contains other holiday cottages. This one is the only one with a secure yard. Perfect for us with a dog. Hide

A lovely quaint cottage close to the beach and some nice shops and pubs. Beware of the steep stairs and limited headroom in the upstairs bedroom: my partner banged his head on the low beam about 10 times during our stay. Not many Take-Away food delivery options but Dominos do deliver. Can recommend Mr Chips for excellent cod and chips
