Overview
Property code: OC-W957

This cosy three-storey cottage enjoys beautiful views of Whitby all around, with plenty of local eateries, independent shops and of course, Whitby’s glorious beach. Take a donkey ride or a surfing lesson down on West Cliff, or simply spend an afternoon relaxing on the golden sand. Ascend the famous 199 steps 2 miles away to St Mary’s Church with splendid views across Whitby, before visiting the historic Whitby Abbey. Alternatively, marvel at the beautiful scenery from a carriage of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway with the station just 0.5 miles away, or embark on an invigorating walk along the Cleveland Way to Robin Hood’s Bay 10 miles away.

Enter into the traditionally tiled hallway and head through to the casual dining room which seats six with a comfortable sofa and TV for relaxation. From here you can find the modern kitchen equipped with all the essentials for whipping up a delicious family meal with lovely views across Whitby. There is also a convenient breakfast bar, which is the perfect space for planning the day with a cup of hot brew. Completing the ground floor is the comfortable double master bedroom, with a modern fully-tiled en-suite with a shower and heated towel rail. On the first floor, you will find the calm lounge, with original panelled ceilings as well as an ornate fireplace for the flame-effect electric fire to bring some historic charm. From here you can access the delightful balcony. This floor houses the king-size bedroom with incredible views, as well as a spacious modern bathroom. On the second floor, the twin bedroom is lovingly decorated and is perfect for younger kids, and here you’ll also find the final shower room.

Step out onto the balcony to dine while looking out across the marvellous scenery of Whitby and the sea beyond.

I had the most delightful stay at this charming three-bedroom cottage in Whitby. First and foremost, the location is amazing. The balcony provides stunning panoramic views of Whitby Harbour from the sea and both piers on the left, all the way around past the Abbey, to the bustling town on the right. The location of the cottage allows for easy eRead morexploration of Whitby, as it's within walking distance of most attractions. I thoroughly enjoyed strolling through the town and its enchanting back alleys. I'm always stumbling upon new and intriguing places I haven't seen before. Inside, the cottage is cosy, well-equipped and heated well, ensuring a comfortable stay. The charm of this place is amplified by its original features, giving it a unique character. Now, I must mention the quaint challenge of navigating steep stairs and steps around the cottage a testament to its historical roots. It may be challenging for some. However, for me, it only added to the overall charm, reminiscent of the authentic feel of old cottages and it's what to expect in old buildings. Parking, though not directly outside due to the narrow one-way street, is conveniently solved with the provided permit for nearby parking. A small inconvenience easily overshadowed by the location and amazing views! Thank you for providing such a wonderful retreat. Hide

Stunning panoramic view from the balcony. Plenty of spaces for people to sit - balcony, sitting room or downstairs in the dining room. We never felt on top of each other and always had a view!

This is our favourite Whitby cottage and we've stayed in a few! After four visits we are still amazed by the views from the balcony where subject to seagull activity one can relax and have a meal, drinks or simply bask in the sun. In the event of bad weather - we've been lucky on recent visits - then there's a huge solid dining table for large jigsRead moreaws or one can take advantage of the new TV which has excellent reception and a good DVD player. It's well appointed and we've always been able to find anything we need. Hide

I put a 3 for cleanliness as the lounge area was grubby and the top bathroom was grubby too cleaners were taedy in this regard. Found the instructions a bit draconian as to orders about emptying all wastebins and filling the dishwasher and removing all bedding off beds at the end of our weeks stay, i rather think that would be cleaners job not oursRead more . Having said that a Perfect view from balcony, good value for money., Hide

The sofas in the living room need replacing the arm has gone on one, the cushions have definitely had their day & they needed to be pulled out and cleaned underneath. Also I think they need firmer mattresses on the beds. Its a beautiful cottage, the view & balcony are definitely what you rent this cottage for. People need to be aware the stairs areRead more extremely steep Hide

Thoroughly enjoyed the holiday, the location and views from the property were excellent. The cleaning appeared to have been rushed with dust in the corners and a thick layer clearly visible under the sofas. This did not distract from the overall experience as work surfaces and sanitary ware were all shiny. Finding a car parking place in zone W was Read moredifficult and had to pay 9 to stay overnight on the first night before finding a place the following day. Overall would definitely book this cottage again. Hide
