About this property
Whitby 1 mile.
A delightful semi-detached stone-built barn conversion, on a working farm just one mile from Whitby. Offering spacious and well-equipped accommodation, this homely property has beamed ceilings, a feature brick fireplace and an original whalebone in the wall! The property offers lovely views of the surrounding countryside, and has a small but sunny rear garden. With Whitby just down the road, and the beaches of the coastline within easy reach, not to mention the fishing rights available on the renowned salmon river - The Esk, this makes a great destination for all the family. Note: This property can be booked with refs. 1161702, 1464, 1039012, 1039011, 1039015 and 1039016, together sleeping up to 30 guests.
The fishing port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk and is well placed for exploring this wonderful part of Yorkshire with its spectacular coastline and the magnificent North York Moors. St Hilda's Abbey is high on Whitby's East Cliff as is the parish church of St Mary and the 199 steps leading up to them is well worth the climb. Bram Stoker was inspired by the atmospheric town to write Dracula. Whitby is also famous for Jet, a beautiful gemstone and the Victorian Jet Works will shed insight into the jet industry. Other attractions in Whitby are the Captain Cook Memorial Museum and the Dracula Experience. With its safe beaches and access to the North York Moors, Whitby is a tremendous base for a family holiday.

Whalebone Cottage was lovely, it had enough space for us all and 2 little dogs too! Suggestions:- A non-slip mat in downstairs shower A couple of nightlights Check the lock on downstairs bathroom door!! Other than that, a fantastic holiday and would definitely stay in whalebone again. Thanks

The cottage is plenty big enough for everyone to have enough space. There is ample parking for 3 cars and a gate that closes to secure dogs. We did take long leads just in case. The cottage was clean and tidy, likely recently decorated, could smell the new carpets (not in a bad way!). The kitchen looked pretty new too and everything in it to cook your own meals if you donât intend to eat out/order in. The owners were very nice and checked all was ok as they walked past. Itâs just over a mile to Whitby, the walk is down hill so pretty easy. Wouldnât hesitate to stay here again and hopefully be back at some point!
