You are located nearby part of the Cinder Track, a public footpath which was formerly the railway leading to the coastal towns of Robin Hood’s Bay, Ravenscar and Scarborough – ideal for walkers or cyclists. The cottage has its own lockable cycle storage so you can bring your bikes with you. You are only a 10-minute walk from the cliff tops with the zigzagging footpaths leading down to the golden beach below. You’re in a peaceful location away from the bustling heart of the old town, which is around a 25-minute stroll away and bursting with quirky shops, cafés as well as the pretty harbour.
The town’s colourful history is one of the many draws to Whitby. So little of the old town has changed over hundreds of years. There are still ships being built where Captain Cook’s vessel the Endeavour was handmade back in 1764 ready for the first voyage to Australia, you can now sail across the harbour in a replica or have your dinner in a restaurant on the ship in the harbour. You can explore the winding streets that Dracula used to roam according to Bram Stoker’s famous book, which has inspired movies and TV shows as well as the annual Goth events.
The town is very proud of its seafaring heritage; enjoy smoked kippers, fresh crab or award winning fish and chips. Further along the coast there are some picturesque bays, villages and towns to visit, including Robin Hoods Bay, Staithes, Runswick Bay, Scarborough and Saltburn. All perfect for a memorable day out. This is a great base for exploring the wonders of this beautiful corner of Yorkshire. Shop, pub and restaurant ½ mile.

Clean, modern, comfortable with most of everything needed, apart from a freezer - only a small fridge with an ice box. A light in the back garden would be appreciated though our dogs welcomed the enclosed garden. The glass coffee table has sharp corners which we caught our legs on several times going to the back door. Not suitable for youngsters we think. Lidl is walking distance and the White house pub, 15 mins walk, is a dog friendly place with good food and beer at reasonable prices.

Excellent two bedroom en-suite house with all the amenities you could wish for. Local pub with food 10 minute walk away, and Whitby 15/20 steady walk away. The house was very clean and well equipped with all the essentials you could possibly need , two very comfortable beds and nice very fresh clean linen , I am normally very fussy but I couldn’t find any fault here would definitely return ,Thankyou Jimmy Jennie,
