When the nights draw in and the days start getting colder cottages with log fires are highly sought after for any last minute holiday. Whitby has a wide selection of holiday cottages with open fires; whether you want a cosy cottage for two, or somewhere for a larger group get together.

With so much to do in Whitby from museums to bracing country walks, the option to relax by an open fire in the evening will surely be welcomed.

How to make the most of a cottage with an open fire

Cosy cottages in Whitby are a real joy of winter; returning to an open fire is an excellent way to make the most of a cold evening. Wrap up warm during the day and explore all that Whitby has to offer. From sightseeing around the city’s best spots to walking along the beach; the cold won’t bite so much when you know the warmth that awaits on your return to the cottage.

Or, why wait until the evening to enjoy the warming glow of your open fire? You could start the day off with breakfast by the fireplace in your cottage (?). If the weather is really letting you down, it doesn't matter so much when you have a cosy cottage to shelter in. Bring boardgames or a good book and while away the morning in comfort.

If you’re feeling indulgent, why not pop out for a bag of marshmallows? The heat an open fire radiates is perfect for toasting marshmallows. For extra decadence also pick up some biscuits and chocolate to make s’mores.
