Property code: OC-82616

Indulge in a traditional, Yorkshire, seaside holiday with a stay at this comfortable holiday home in Whitby. Sleeping up to eight guests, and also welcoming two canine companions, this inviting, four-bedroom property is approximately 1 mile from the centre of the famous seaside town. Walk just over 1 mile to also reach the beach at West Cliff, where you can swim, surf and picnic on the sand. Head to Tate Hill, about the same distance away, on the east side of the River Esk estuary, where your four-legged friends are welcome all year round. Discover the town’s history and literary connections during your visit: Whitby is known for its role in Bram Stoker’s chilling Victorian gothic novel, Dracula, as well as for its smuggling past, and there are plenty of sights and activities to help you immerse yourselves in these colourful fictional and non-fictional tales.

Accommodating a group of friends, an extended family or two families together, this property could also be ideal for all those eager to explore the beautiful North York Moors. Find fabulous walks through ancient woodlands, across magnificent moors and beside winding rivers within the national park. Go rock climbing, paddle boarding and horse riding while you are here too.

Open the front door to the modern holiday home and leave your shoes, jackets and dog leads in the hall. Wander on through into the kitchen/diner, which opens conveniently into the lounge, bringing a sense of flow to the house. Make a cup of tea for your group and then decide who is cooking dinner tonight. You’ll have everything you need in the kitchen to be able to prepare tasty meals, plus a useful dishwasher and a washing machine. Gather round the table to dine together and perhaps play a hand or two of cards into the evening.

Members of your group might also like to spill out into the lounge, where they can choose a film or catch up with their favourite programmes on the Smart TV, which has BT vision and a basic Sky package, plus a sound bar subwoofer to enhance their enjoyment. On summer days, pull open the exterior door and enjoy wandering outside to make the most of the garden. You also have a WC at ground-floor level.

After a fun-filled evening, make your way up to the first floor where all four comfortable bedrooms are situated. These rooms all embody a fresh, seaside appeal, with calming decor featuring gentle hints of a maritime, seaside theme. Choose between a super-king-size room with an en-suite shower room; a king-size room; a double room and a bunk bedroom with an extra pull-out bed. The family bathroom, which features a bath with a shower above, is also on the first floor.

Take breakfast, lunch and dinner outside whenever the weather permits. Watch the children and pets playing on the artificial lawn as the BBQ heats up. You’ll also find off-street parking for two cars in front of the house.

A newly built house on the edge of a development which was quiet. A supermarket only 5 minutes walk away was very convenient! It was 1 mile to Whitby, a downhill walk, going right past The Whitby Museum which is well worth visiting. It took us 33 minutes to walk to the Abbey. Plenty of cafes and restaurants in Whitby and good access to visit placesRead more further afield. Hide

We really enjoyed everything about the house, comfortable beds, fully equipped in the kitchen, games if you didnt bring your own and clean. Not too far away from the centre but someone with mobility issues may struggle. Perfect location for Sneaton Castle, which is beautiful.

Wow!! This is one gorgeous cottage in Whitby with the added bonus of parking for two cars. The cottage is about a 25min walk into Whitby. The is a spar and Lidl 5mins away for all essentials. The cottage itself was great for the 7 of us, 4 adults and 3 kids, lots of room to chill and the garden gets the sun all day and is a real sun trap. All beds Read morewere super comfy and everything felt luxurious. We loved every second and cant wait to return!! Thank you Debra for an amazing holiday xx Hide

The Captain's House was a lovely modern house with good size rooms and great enclosed garden for kids. We loved our stay here. It is a great location to explore Whitby and the surrounding area. The owner was friendly and helpful in giving some tips on how to get to town and the beach and good places to eat. We would definitely recommend staying herRead moree. Hide
