Fantastic location for the Steps, the Abbey, the Brewery and local shops. All amenities catered for. Small beach nearby is ideal for letting your dog have a run around. Having parking included in the booking is also a great help, albeit across the bridge so you have to unpack at the cottage beforehand. For those who have not visited Whitby before, the cottage is located just off a cobbled road that in areas is only wide enough for one car therefore you may have to move your car if another comes along. I would definitely recommend this cottage for its quirkiness and location. Very cosy.

Beautiful quirky cosy cottage and great location. Would definitely stay again but the shower is problematic supplying hot water. Once that is fixed it would be absolutely perfect.
