Snaptrip says

Stoker's Rest in Whitby is highly praised for its prime location, cleanliness, and comfort. Guests appreciate the proximity to the town centre and enjoy the charming views, including the sight of steam trains. The property is well-furnished and offers a welcoming atmosphere with thoughtful touches like a welcome basket. While there is a minor mention of a loose towel rail, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, suggesting a delightful stay.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests consistently note the property's cleanliness upon arrival, indicating a high standard maintained by the caretakers.

The location is frequently highlighted as ideal, being close to the town centre and attractions, with the added charm of nearby steam train sightings.

The comfort of the beds and the overall relaxing decor contribute to a comfortable stay, although one guest mentioned the settee being slightly uncomfortable for shorter individuals.

Facilities are generally praised as excellent, with a well-appointed kitchen and unexpected extras like a travel cot and high chair. A minor issue with a towel rail and creaky floorboards prevents a perfect score.

The welcome basket is mentioned as a delightful addition, showcasing the owners' thoughtfulness. However, it's important to note that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

Stoker’s Rest is a charming, upside-down accommodation situated in central Whitby. Offering easy access to Whitby’s amenities, including the glorious beach, Stoker’s Rest is a great base for families and couples looking to make the most of the Yorkshire coastline. Enter into the spacious reception hall where you can leave your boots and jackets before making your way upstairs to the open-plan living space. Bright and airy, here you can socialise as a group, coming together on the sofa whilst the electric fire keeps you toasty, or perching at the dining table whilst the chef of the group takes over the kitchen, offering all the essentials including a washer/dryer, so don’t bring your entire wardrobe! The bedrooms are situated downstairs and offer a king-size and twin, each neutrally presented and serviced by a bathroom with choice of bath and shower over. To the outside rests a little patio area with picnic bench, ideal for lunches in the sunshine. When you’re ready to explore, Whitby makes a fantastic holiday base; take the short walk over to Whitby Beach, a glorious sandy expanse from which you access West Pier and see the fantastic lighthouse. Be sure to visit the remarkable Whitby Abbey, uncover decades of history at Whitby Museum, climb the famous 199 steps or embark on a trail along The Cinder Track. If exploration takes you further afield, explore Robin Hood’s Bay and expect to find a stunning beach, a choice of cafés and the popular Robin Hood’s Bay Museum. There’s plenty to jam into your holiday itinerary whilst staying at Stoker’s Rest.

At the mouth of the River Esk in North Yorkshire's Scarborough region sits the seaside town and port of Whitby. The area is perfectly positioned for visiting this stunning region of Yorkshire, and it offers a wide range of activities so you can make the most of both the countryside and the seaside. There is something for everyone in this area, from the adjacent North York Moors to its Blue Flag beaches. Among its many attractions, Whitby has a beautiful ambience with meandering streets and obscure alleys that are home to a variety of restaurants and businesses. Visit the charming harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun go down, or go whale watching or on a coastal cruise to see the wildlife up close. To immerse yourself in history, ascend the 199 steps to Whitby Abbey or go to the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, which features a historical and anthropological display about Cook himself. Whitby is a fantastic location for discovering all that Yorkshire has to offer. It is close to Robin Hood's Bay, rich in history, wonders, and scenic areas, and is easily accessible from the thriving towns of Scarborough and Middlesbrough.

    The location is ideal for access to Whitby town centre and harbour only a 5 minute walk. We would definitely book this cottage again.

    Everything was clean. The cottage has a modern feel. Location good for exploring surrounding areas. Hoping to stay again soon. Welcome pack much appreciated.

    Cottage was great location Offstreet private parking a bonus Loved watching the trains Very clean on arrival, had everything we needed It was nice and warm throughout We found the settee a little uncomfortable as it’s quite wide, and if you aren’t very tall, your feet, don’t touch the floor The floorboards in the living room Creak terribly did cause quite a bit of disturbance, first thing in the morning or late at night when one of us had gone to bed As the creaking from above was very loud However, I don’t know what can be done about floorboards It’s such a shame that they are like this as otherwise the Cottage would’ve been perfect And thank you for the welcome pack
