Located on the west side of Whitby where the stables for the old dairy used to be, this cosy cottage is perfectly positioned to access the variety of amenities Whitby has to offer. There are several quaint independent shops to wander around and plenty of excellent quality eateries to try the fresh catch of the day. Enjoy the short walk of less than 1 mile to the beach, and head out along the expanse of golden sand, take a dip in the sea or plan a beach picnic. Just 2 miles away climb the famous 199 steps to Whitby Abbey, which inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and enjoy breathtaking views of the town and coast. There are several popular annual events in Whitby, including the Whitby Goth Festival, Whitby Folk Week and Whitby Regatta.

Enter into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with comfortable sofas and a TV. The bright and compact kitchen has all you need including a lovely dining table that seats six people. On the ground floor, you will also find one double bedroom thoughtfully decorated with a built-in wardrobe and dressing table. Finally, there is the family bathroom with a double wash basin, a corner bath for a relaxing soak, or a separate shower cubicle too. Upstairs on the landing is a sofa with a small TV before you reach the two remaining bedrooms. One is a double bedroom with a comfortable bed, built-in storage and plenty of light streaming through the skylight, and the other is a delightful twin bedroom ideal for younger guests. A convenient WC completes the interior of the property.

Outside is a lovely patio with a seat, the perfect place for watching the world go.

Great cottage in a good location. Parking is a premium in Whitby so it was good to know my car was not going to get a ticket or be parked a way off. Comfortable and clean with everything you could need. A short walk into the town with friendly pubs along the way which are dog friendly too which is a bonus.

The Old stables is a very relaxing place to stay. It is fully functional with everything you need. The outdoor space with furniture was a wonderful place to sit out and enjoy the surroundings. I will book the old stables again without hesitation on our next visit to Whitby.

Great location and cottage generally ok. Bath towels small and thin. Could feel springs through downstairs bedroom mattress. Cafetiere would have been nice!

Location was excellent but property was very tired. The smell in the upstairs toilet was unbearable, had to leave extractor on at all times just to make it manageable. Suggest someone checks the drains asap. The sofas were uncomfortable and didn't have enough seats for 6 people

Was exactly as described. Only point I would make is the shower head needs a clean or a power shower installing as it was v weak. Didnt detract from the holiday whatsoever tho.

We had a very good stay after having the news 2 days before we were due to set off to Whitby that the cottage we had booked was flooded and the holiday cancelled. This, of course, a very worrying as we were virtually all set to go.
