    Get away from it all with our Whitby holiday cottages

    Looking out over the wild North Sea, the historic seaside town of Whitby is the perfect place for a cottage getaway. Offering idyllic natural beauty, unique historical sites and classic seaside charm, it is no wonder that visitors have been flocking to this gem of a holiday destination for centuries.

    Whether you choose to spend your holiday scouring the boutique shops that line the cobbled streets in the centre of Whitby or prefer to head out to the moors in search of rare wildlife, you're guaranteed to be surprised by what you find here.

    Given its coastal location, Whitby is also the perfect spot to enjoy water sports, a relaxing day at the beach or some traditional fun and games along the Victorian pavilion.

    If you're looking to book a short break to recharge your batteries or want to make the most of everything on offer over a couple of weeks, our selection of beautiful Whitby holiday cottages is just what you need to complete your trip.

    Why choose a Whitby weekend break or staycation?

    Whitby in beautiful North Yorkshire is a treat to visit any time of year.

    It's one of the most popular destinations on the Yorkshire Coast, and the historic seaside town has something for everyone.

    The town is most famous for its connection to the legendary Count Dracula. In the classic vampire novel by Bram Stoker, Dracula arrives in England on a ship, which washes up on the Yorkshire Coast. Stoker visited Whitby in 1890 and was inspired by Whitby Abbey and the atmospheric cemetery in the churchyard at St Mary's Church.

    Feeling energetic? Climb the 199 steps through cobbled stones and up a cliff to see the incredible Whitby Abbey for yourself. These steps were famously featured in Dracula, and the views you'll be treated to at the top are well worth the effort. The grounds are dog-friendly, and you can spend a happy few hours enjoying a picnic, wandering through the haunting abbey remains, and taking in the spectacular view.

    Exploring the town of Whitby is an utter delight. The cobbled streets make you feel like you've stepped back in time, and there are plenty of lovely shops, cafes, and restaurants to pop into. The streets and alleys are charming and narrow, with lots of hidden treasures buried in antique shops to discover.

    Planning on visiting Whitby around Christmas? You'll be treated to twinkling lights and gorgeous decorations in all the shop windows, making the whole town feel like Santa's grotto.

    If you're looking for a more traditional seaside holiday, Whitby delivers on every level.

    The Victorian-era Whitby pavilion always has something great going on, including theatre, festivals and art events. And, of course, you'll find all the trappings of a quintessential British seaside town, from charming little boutiques and gift shops to amusement arcades and tea rooms, not to mention some of the best fish and chips in the country. Make sure you bring your appetite!

    There's also the beautiful Whitby Harbour to add to your list, with its charming harbourside cottages surrounding the water. This harbour was once famous for its success in the whaling industry, but today, you can join a boat trip and have a scenic tour into Whitby Bay.

    While you're there, why not try your hand at a spot of crabbing? Trying to catch crabs has been a favourite pastime for years, and the best place to catch one is next to the swing bridge that separates the harbour from the old town.

    Whitby is also famous for being the home of James Cook, also known as Captain Cook, the man who charted the coast of New Zealand and Australia. Captain Cook is renowned as being one of the most accomplished explorers of all time, and you can learn more about him at the Captain Cook Museum.

    We've only scratched the surface of the many things to do in this beautiful Yorkshire coastal town. To discover more, stay in one of our beautiful Whitby self-catering properties and enjoy a well-earned break in one of our favourite UK holiday spots.

    Discover hundreds of beautiful Whitby holiday rentals

    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Sarah - Verified booking

      Helredale Retreat Whitby The Retreat is a home from home and you could not ask for more.

      It’s located just over the main bridge with a short walk right down the bank into Whitby town, the retreat itself has everything and more. The main bedroom has the best bed I have ever slept in with a shower and toilet room we just used the one downstairs.The second bedroom never got used but has another double bed with single bunk above it. The main bathroom downstairs has a lovely bath with mega hot water for after those days of walking or just jump in the shower. The gardens To the front you can park two cars outside on the drive so no paying to park or spend time looking for a space. To the rear is an enclosed garden with views to the abbey in distance. There is a shop as described in the pack a short walk up the bank to left, just past this is a play park with plenty of space to walk the dog in the morning. For nice quiet night we walked to the half penny pub just 8 minutes past the shop along the road. The food is lovely especially the steak and there are tables where you can take you pet with you. Chris the owner is very helpful and even offered to let us stay in the retreat till late on our last day. Will definitely stay here again. Regards Michael, Sarah and Bailey the dog

    • Hazel - Verified booking

      We had a lovely stay at Helredale.

      I did read about the previous niggles in earlier reviews, but they were obviously sorted by the time we got there (mid May 2024) as we had nothing to complain about at all. It was very clean and tidy. The garden was perfect for our small dog, who will find the smallest of gaps to escape through! It was completely secure and that's our priority when choosing a holiday home. The kitchen is really well equipped. Wifi and Sky TV worked well (we didn't have great weather so were reliant on that in the evenings). It's literally a 15-20 minute walk into the heart of Whitby, so ideally located to walk into the town. You're able to see the abbey from the back bedroom. Off street parking worked well, the road is busy but the double glazing must be very high grade because you can't hear any traffic at all once in the house. I found it really great value for money and the pics gave a very true reflection on reality, so we got exactly what we expected.

    • Alan - Verified booking

      Very nice clean and cosy little holiday home.

      Arrived to a double drive which was perfect as had two cars (not small cars) and they fit perfect. Entrance leads into a cosy living room with sofa and sky tv. Kitchen had plenty of cupboard space and plenty enough plates cups etc… the family bathroom is downstairs which was handy having a toilet downstairs! They is a small utility room/coat room which led to a enclosed garden which was perfect as we took our dog. Upstairs is two bedrooms each with a double bed and one with a single above (bunk bed) master bedroom has a handy en-suite with a shower which was a great powerful shower! The master bed was super comfy!! We had a great weekend here! The house is a great spot only a short walk from harbour and a 5 minute walk from a small shop. Will definitely be staying here again!

    • Amanda - Verified booking

      This is a great, warm and relaxing house, ideally located just outside Whitby town and harbour.

      The decor is fresh and there is everything you need. Beds are large and comfortable with a dressing table and full length mirror in the master. The downstairs bathroom is clean with a bath and shower. The kitchen is again clean and has everything you would expect. The living room is fresh and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay here. Communication from owner was warm and friendly and we could have gone in earlier if we didn’t have such a long drive. The house is ideally located for all the tourist attractions within walking distance although the tour bus does go very near to the property - used to our advantage as Whitby is very hilly! We would definitely stay here again and recommend Helredale Retreat. 10/10

    • Diane - Verified booking

      The house is on a busy main road and is a mid terraced house and not the cottage I was expecting but it is a very nice place and with some maintenance would be so much better.

      There are holes in the lounge walls, with metal washers, there is trunking that's not needed and there is no architrave on the en suite bathroom door. Unfortunately the sink in en-suite is difficult to use as it is on top of the toilet cistern and there is no room. The showers are both very good. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped - I cannot comment on the oven or hob as we did not use either but everything else was great. We enjoyed our stay even with the maintenance issues as it's very easy from the location to get to all the attractions Whitby has to offer. One more thing of note there is an information folder provided by the owner but this needs updating.

    Frequent questions

    • Is it easy to walk around Whitby?

      Whitby is a small, charming town on the east coast of England that is easily navigable on foot. Its compact town centre and pedestrian-friendly streets make it convenient to explore the main attraction. While the hilly terrain and potential crowds during peak seasons should be considered, walking remains a delightful way to experience the beauty and ambiance of Whitby.

      Yes, Whitby is definitely worth visiting. This picturesque town offers a unique blend of history, stunning natural beauty, and a charming atmosphere. From the iconic Whitby Abbey and historic harbour to the beautiful coastline and quaint streets, there is plenty to see and explore. Whether you're interested in history, scenic walks, or simply enjoying the local seafood, Whitby has something to offer for visitors of all interests.

    • Is it safe to swim in the sea at Whitby?

      Swimming in the sea at Whitby requires caution due to strong currents and variable conditions. It is recommended to consult local authorities or lifeguards for updated information on sea conditions and to be prepared for cooler temperatures as the North Sea is typically cold, even in summer.

    • What time of year is best to go to Whitby?

      The best time to visit Whitby depends on your preferences. Summer (June to August) is popular for warmer weather and vibrant atmosphere, while spring and autumn offer milder weather and fewer crowds.
