2 Bed Cottage in Whitby

About this property

This coastal bolthole enjoys a central location in the charming town of Whitby. Perfect for couples and small families, you can enjoy sunset strolls around the harbour from your front door and spend endless afternoons building sandcastles and splashing in the sea at the beach (200 metres). You’ll also be surrounded by a fine collection of independent shops and restaurants. In the evenings, unwind on the balcony and watch the fishing boats returning with their catch of the day.

Traditional stone steps lead to the cottage. Inside, discover a bright and airy holiday home, with elegant furniture and accessories throughout. In the lounge, your eyes will be drawn to the magnificent view through the French doors, and you’ll also find comfortable furniture to relax on and a Freesat TV and DVD player for your entertainment. A stylish kitchen and a shower room are also on this level. Cottage-style stairs lead to the first floor, which houses a beautiful double bedroom with harbour views and an en-suite bathroom. There is also a cosy twin, with a characterful sloping ceiling. Outside, the gorgeous balcony enjoys views across the water.

Whitby has four fabulous beaches. Just 200 metres away is the secluded Tate Hill Beach, where you can enjoy peaceful picnics and strolls along the shoreline. Alternatively, head to the hubbub of West Cliff Beach, which is a family-friendly spot with colourful beach huts and traditional seaside amenities. The cottage is ideally placed for exploring Whitby’s old town, with its cobbled streets and quaint eateries. You’ll also be near the old smokehouse, where you can pick up some tasty kippers for your supper. Climb the 199 steps to admire the ruins of Whitby Abbey, and also join the dramatic coast path which leads to the fishing villages of Staithes (10 miles) and Robin Hood’s Bay (6 miles).
