    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

So whether you want to stay in the heart of the action, enjoy sea views, or wake up every morning with nothing but nature around you, we've got you covered.

    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Alan - Verified booking

      When we booked way back during 2017, we booked both the East and the West Barns at the same time!

      One was for the EAST Barn which we took at Xmas Time when we had a very enjoyable experience - nothing to do with it being Xmas time, see our review which is currently posted on your website and couldn't really have been bettered. The second booked - WEST, is the one we used during the week just ended during June and although one might say that they are broadly similar, being adjoined, but nothing could have been further from the truth. I shall endeavour to explain the differences which was to cause us a fair few difficulties during the week and proved to be a serious disappointment. *That said - all things other than for what is contained in the following explanation - were on a par with our previous experience during our stay at Xmas in the EAST Barn, so would definitely give 10 out of 10 for the rest. Major differences:Bedroom - pretty much the same in layout (Minus the Bathroom) but the Bed was smaller and much less comfortable PLUS - there was an overlong "step down" from the bedroom to the corridor leading to the living room area. The Bathroom isn't En Suite and doesn't have any extractor Fan and one has to fiddle about in the dark looking for the lightswitch before entering - and this is emmediately after stepping down from the bedroom. *We preferred not to leave the light on all night - this shouldn't have been required anyway. Being rather long in the tooth, having dodgy knees and being a tad unsteady on my feet, plus Diabetic to boot, my numerous trips during every night resulted in numerous trips and falls during the course of the week. On return journey from the Bathroom, even though the "step up" is indeed rather high compared to the norm, I appreciate that much younger and fitter people might comment on this but manage it as fit people would - and get on with things. I only mention this as a precaution - would recommend that you could perhaps use this as a caution to aid the unwary when booking. We would definitely consider a return to this venue - but NEVER ever book the WEST again, it would always be the EAST should we ever return. The East living area is much more open and spacious and has a Larger Dining Table. To summarise - The Venue and the hosts were as excellant as on our previous visit, cannot be faulted. The WEST Barn leaves a little to be desired and proved a disappointment. The EAST Barn - see my previous posting after our stay at Xmas 2017 - Brilliant!!! Sorry this review couldn't have been positive for our stay this time around. Best wishes Alan & Sue K

    • Chris - Verified booking

      This cottage was very disappointing.

      It had absolutely no atmosphere and was not at all homely. A rug in each room would make a good addition to make the place look less like a box. It certainly wasn’t furnished to the high standard as described by Sykes, but was furnished with very basic items from IKEA. The sofa and chair in the living area were extremely hard and uncomfortable as was the mattress which was so soft you could both feel and hear the springs when you moved. The pillows had some kind of inner protector which made it sound like you were sleeping on a packet of crisps. The 2 pull down blinds in the bedroom do not stop the light coming in and as there are lights outside each door it is difficult to get off to sleep. Black out blinds would improve matters. We only had contact with the owner when we arrived and she had to go into the next cottage to borrow their pint of milk. On entering the cottage, we found a packet of Blue Riband biscuits which we thought was a bit mean after reading some previous reviews and compared with other greeting gifts we have received. We also found she had provided just 1 toilet roll. There was no toilet brush which one would have expected, the cold-water tap dripped constantly and the toilet seat moved when sat on. In addition, the grassed area at the rear needed cutting so as to make it usable. The owners mowed the grass on their own private pitch and put course to the front of their house so it would have been nice to have had the small area of grass behind the cottage mowed. In conclusion, this is the first time in 50 years of holidaying that we have been asked to strip the bed before we left!! What on earth do they do between the departing guests leaving at 10am and the arriving guests turning up at 3pm. Judging by the number of cobwebs everywhere, not that much. We will not be returning.

    • Janice - Verified booking

      We loved our stay at Lowdale Barns West.

      A spacious cottage for 2 in a quiet setting surrounded by countryside and within easy reach of the coast and the Yorkshire Moors. Tastefully furnished, and one of the most comfortable beds we've ever slept in. Almost everything we could have needed was provided and we were very pleased with the welcome pack and other extras left for us - the bottle of Prosecco was a lovely surprise! The underfloor heating kept us cosy and was easy to operate, as were all the kitchen appliances. If we were going to be picky, a mop and bucket would be a good addition to the cleaning materials (which were otherwise excellent) to make it easier to quickly clean the floors, especially as we have a dog. Overall, we were pleased with the cleanliness of the place, though there were quite a few dust bunnies under the bed! One other slight issue was the temperature of the water in the shower, which we got the hang of eventually but was never what you would call hot. However, this was a minor niggle and we were sad to leave to come home. We'd definitely stay there again.

    • Stewart - Verified booking

      We have stayed in this cottage, and the one next door many Timex now and would not hesitate to return.

      We do however have a couple of comments to make. While the cottage is thankfully pet friendly, the outdoor space is not. The seating area at the rear is very open, there is a public footpath running along the length of the seating area, which is not a problem, but if the seating area, of both properties was fenced off, not blocked, but a physical barrier, doesn't need to be very high, then you could be out there and let your pet be untethered. We think that the outside seating is important due to there being very little natural light in the living room. The second point would be the bedroom. It is very comfortable, but would benefit from better blinds on the door and window. At this time of year it gets light very early and so does the bedroom, better blinds would be beneficial.

    • Valerie - Verified booking

      We absolutely loved staying here.

      It was our first visit to Lowdale Barns West and we found it exceptionally clean and comfortable. It was easy to find following the directions that were given. The lovely owner left us some beautiful flowers she’d grown in her garden and wine to enjoy while there. The cottage was located in a lovely village just a short walk to the railway station with trains going into Whitby and beyond including the North Yorkshire Steam Railway (pick up the train at the same station in Whitby). There’s also a Park and Ride into Whitby just a short drive away. I can’t really find any negatives other than the water for the shower could have been a bit warmer and last longer but it wasn’t a huge issue for us. We’ll definitely be booking again for another stay.

    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.

    • Is Whitby worth visiting?

      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.
