This Grade II Listed, homely cottage is situated in the heart of the old town conservation area of Whitby, offering a heart-warming retreat that has been designed with a family in mind, whilst still hosting some original and characterful features such as the stone floors and walls, and the rustic, painted beams. Enter into the property and be welcomed into the open-plan living space where two sofas sit before the Smart TV and has board games for everyone to enjoy. Gather around the dining table for a home-cooked meal or indulge in a takeaway, before planning the day’s events the next morning here while you tuck into a hearty breakfast. Walk through to the kitchen which has dove grey units and sleek white worktops providing all the necessary appliances for home cooking. Find the bedrooms laid out over the first and second floor, with a first-floor family room with a Double bed and Single bed, whilst the second-floor is home to a double bedroom, with both holding a range of furnishings for storage and sharing a large family shower room with deluxe fixtures and fittings. Kiwi Cottage is one of the old yards off Church Street and is central for cafés, restaurants, shops, and galleries, and of course the wonderful Tate Hill Sands beach. Whitby Abbey is at the top of the famous 199 Steps, and is well-known for inspiring Bram Stoker’s Dracula thanks to its eerie architecture. Head down to Whitby Beach which is great for paddling, sunbathing, and crabbing if you’re feeling adventurous, and you might even find some fossils too. Enjoy a guided walk through Whitby, or venture into one of the several interesting museums, like the Captain Cook Museum, Whitby Jet Museum, and the Whitby Museum at the nearby Pannett Park. The park is lovely for strolling through, as well as hosting an excellent play area, great for the younger ones when the weather is fine. There are plenty of boat trips to be enjoyed, offering a chance to see the beautiful coastline from the water, as well as the North Yorkshire Moors steam train running up to Pickering. At the end of the day treat everyone to a classic Whitby fish and chips followed by a lemon top ice cream, to be enjoyed overlooking the sea, or in the comfort of your self-catered cottage.
