Storm Cottage

About this property

Tucked away in the seaside town of Whitby in North Yorkshire, lies this traditional circa 1750 Georgian fisherman's cottage. Storm Cottage, a Grade II listed building, boasts a fantastic location with views from the top bedroom of the sea and the harbour. Within the North York Moors National Park and only a stone’s throw from the sandy trails of the beach, Storm Cottage is a great base for couples, families, or friends to enjoy a coastal getaway. Ascend the quaint cobbled path, you will notice the private patio area where you can enjoy a refreshing drink after a day of exploring. As you enter inside, discover the country style kitchen equipped with all the essentials for a self-catered stay; enjoy mealtimes around the large dining table, or out in the private garden. After dinner, kick back and relax on the sofa as you catch up on your favourite shows on the Smart TV. Continue through to the ground-floor bathroom, where you can have a soak in the tub, before retiring to one of three spacious bedrooms, two doubles or a lower-ground floor family room (this will be a twin room from September 2024). Head down the path into town where you will find the harbour and an abundance of restaurants, pubs, and shops, as well as a magnificent beach where you can swim, surf or paddle board the days away. Continue to Robin Hood’s Bay and admire the National Trust site of The Old Coastguard Station, immerse yourself in the local history at Whitby Museum or tour the grounds of Whitby Abbey. Further afield, be sure to take a day trip to Pickering where Pickering Castle and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway await; or get up close and personal with marine life at the Sea Life Centre in Scarborough, home to award-winning sandy beaches, breathtaking coastlines, and a great variety of family attractions. For a marvelous stay in North Yorkshire which offers an idyllic blend of coastal and countryside, choose Storm Cottage.
