About this property

This attractive cottage in situated in a pleasant location within easy walking distance of Whitby town centre and even closer to the train station, making it an ideal choice for families or couples wishing to discover historic Whitby and beyond.

Set over three floors, this spacious house boasts a double aspect garden room which opens onto a lawned garden – a lovely place to dine al fresco in the warmer months. There is also private parking for one car, a real bonus in Whitby’s bustling centre.

From the entrance hall, head into a large, split level area with a warm, welcoming sitting room with gas fired wood burning-style stove, then down to a large, well equipped kitchen with table and chairs. There’s a handy separate utility room nearby. A delightful, double aspect garden room leads off from the kitchen, providing a peaceful spot to enjoy a cuppa whilst reading the morning papers or simply enjoy sunlit views of the garden.

The first floor has two bedrooms; a large double which overlooks the garden, plus a pretty single bedroom with en-suite bathroom with a bath, shower over, basin and WC. In the house bathroom, the soothing Jacuzzi bath is heaven after a bracing coastal walk!

To the second floor is a twin bedroom.

Lawned garden with seating and a BBQ.

Close by, Whitby marina is the place to watch fishing and pleasure boats come and go into the harbour, passing under the swing bridge which links the ‘old town’. In August, the Whitby regatta is a superb event showcasing yacht and rowing races, and has expanded over the years to include a large fair, fireworks and Red Arrows display. There are no shortages of fantastic fish restaurants and the waterfront is dotted with lovely bars with outdoor seating. The Captain Cook Memorial Museum provides a fascinating insight into Whitby’s most famous seafaring son.

The Yorkshire coastline encompasses some of the UKs most rugged and beautiful countryside. For unspoilt scenery, try the coastal walking paths around the pretty fishing villages of Robin Hood’s Bay or Staithes.

Perfectly located for discovering all the heritage coast has to offer, Damson Cottage is a welcoming place to stay at any time of the year.

The ancient fishing port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk and is ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire, with its superb coastline and close proximity to the spectacular North York Moors. Whitby is a charming and atmospheric town of winding streets and hidden alleys, with a picturesque harbour, safe sandy beaches and of course the Abbey, reached by the famous 199 steps.

  • Mike And Maggie

    Mostly enjoyed the beautiful sun room for just reading, watching the birds and chilling out. Thank you also for the welcome pack.

  • The Cambell Family

    Perfect location, comfy beds and everything we needed. We especially liked the sun room and spent a lot of time in there. Lovely walking into Whitby town and a lovely quiet area. The welcome pack was one of the best we have had and we stay in a lot of holiday cottages. We will definitely be recommending and wouldn't hesitate to back ourselves. Thank you.

  • O'Neill Family

    Excellent parking and so close to town. Sun room very relaxing. Thank you so much for the welcome pack and a lovely weekend.
