Property Description
Ideal for families and small groups, this Victorian cottage in the heart of the town sleeps 5 with a double, a twin and a single room.
Tucked away in a quiet pedestrian backstreet, away from the noise of the road yet just a few yards from shops and cafes and only 5 minutes walk to the beach.
The vintage charm of this cottage is blended with contemporary fittings to ensure comfort and convenience whilst retaining its original features.
You will be able to unload your car outside, and parking is available in the streets around the cottage. We will provide free permits. Keys are kept in a key safe with the code provided prior to arrival.
Entering through the front door, you will immediately ascend a set of stairs, where you will find a large well equipped dining kitchen with modern shaker style cream units complete with an integrated fridge and freezer, a freestanding oven, dishwasher, washing machine and microwave. There is also a separate wc/cloakroom on the first floor.
Another set of stairs takes you to a comfortable living room with an original cast iron fireplace, tv with Humax which offers more channels than freeview and a dvd player. There is a selection of books, dvds and board games. The cottage benefits from free wifi. Just off the living room is a single bedroom and contemporary bathroom with electric shower can also be found on this floor. The top floor has a double and a twin bedroom with views of Whitby Abbey.

Great wee break
The cottage is built unusually which my three kids loved. You go up a short flight of stairs as you go in and that takes you to a nice kitchen with plenty room for a family to eat in. You then go up another flight of stairs. There’s a large bathroom with shower, a living area and a bedroom.(single bed). You dig up another flight of stairs to two bedrooms, one double, one twin. The stairs are not an issue, it meant adequate sound proofing from each other and the kids loved it. The living area has smart tv, dvd (lots of dvd’s supplied) and games. Great time to reconnect with teenagers. The WiFi was perfect. We parked (using supplied voucher) about 100-150 yards from the cottage which was fine and it is a less than 5 minute walk to the centre of the town.

Nice location
Easy to get to the beach as well as the shops/harbour so great location. Host communicated well and everything we needed was provided. Could do with a shelf in the shower as it is quite tight when needing to bend for shampoo etc. initially a cigarette smell to the property so not sure if previous tenants smoked inside. Thank you for a nice stay

Cosy winter break in Whitby
Lovely stay. The cottage was just what we expected when we arrived as the online listing is very accurate. The location of the cottage is the biggest plus, but it is also appreciated that the owners are generous in providing all the little extra things within the cottage to help you make the most of your time away.

Loved our stay for whitby goth weekend, the cottage had everything we could have wanted, loads of room and home comforts! Very central, everywhere was walkable so we were able to just park the car up (with the tickets provided by the host) and leave it for the weekend. Also loads of info available in the guest book too. Overall had a wonderful time here.

Weekend with mates
This place had everything we needed and everything worked as it should.
The beds were nice and comfy and the sheets were clean.
I found Simon to be very accommodating and very flexible on checkout. The instructions he gave us for check-in were very clear.
I would definitely check availability when coming back to Whitby.
