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. Choose Smoked Kipper Cottage as your family's dwelling this summer.
