About this property
Nestled in the heart of Whitby, a popular holiday destination on the shores of North Yorkshire, is this stone-fronted three-storey dwelling, Smoked Kipper Cottage. Well-positioned near Whitby Beach, family-friendly attractions, and plenty of walking trails for countryside dog walks, the cottage is perfect for a family staycation, welcoming six guests and two well-behaved furry friends. Arriving at roadside parking, step into the traditionally styled cottage, firstly arriving at the well-equipped kitchen; boasting a galley style, you’ll find everything from a washing machine to a microwave to help you ease into your self-catering break. Reaching the formal dining room whilst enjoying a home-cooked meal around the dining table, offering enough space for your entire party to socialise and relax. Next door you will find the welcoming sitting room, completed with an open fire, where you can unwind in front of a favoured DVD, read a book from the selection on offer, or simply enjoy your time away with your loved ones. For some fresh air, venture outside to the rear patio, both private and enclosed, where you can pull up a chair, dine alfresco, or watch the sun set on another day in North Yorkshire. As sleep calls, travel upstairs to the first-floor, where you’ll be met by a double and a twin room, also home to the main bathroom with a corner bath. Climbing up to the second-floor, be wowed by the king-size bedroom, displaying rooftop views and lofty ceilings, carrying through the cottage's homestyle interior. Just a stone’s throw away you will arrive at a wealth of amenities to take advantage of, from drinks at The First In Last Out, to evening meals at Trenchers, offering the catch of the day; family-friendly, immersive experiences will also await within the seaside town of Whitby. Plan a day out touring Whitby Museum and its exhibits of the town’s heritage, take a perch at Whitby Beach Huts, soaking in the sea air, or explore Captain Cook Memorial Museum, with artifacts dating back to 1772. Whitby Pavilion is also on your doorstep, displaying an array of artistic events and shows, whilst The Endeavour Experience is perfect for a day near the river, or maybe climb the 199 Steps, offering elevated views of Whitby marina. Scarborough Sky Trail Adventure, Cinder Track and Peasholm Park are all recommended as family-friendly activities, delivering glimpses of the nearby countryside, enveloping the town.

Parking outside the cottage was easy but our visit was out of season. The area was quiet and I suspect this might not change in summer as itâs off the tourist trail. The highlight of the area is there is the most amazing Fish and Chip shop a few doors down , huge portion and amazing quality, a good few pounds cheaper than those around the harbour. The cottage has a lovely modern bathroom with a hot and powerful shower and the beds were comfortable. Unfortunately the cottage was very cold when we arrived and the open plan downstairs was difficult to keep warm but that would not be a problem for summer visitors. The town of Whitby needs no advocacy ,itâs a marvellous little gem huddled tight on the Yorkshire coast.

The only draw back is the steep hill you need to walk up from the centre of Whitby. Having said that we would definitely stay at Smoked kipper cottage again.
