About this property

An attractive, mid-mews cottage, in a small complex of similar properties, set by the banks of the River Esk, one mile from the popular fishing town of Whitby. This bright and cheerful modern Whitby cottage has been tastefully furnished and decorated to a high standard providing a very comfortable holiday home, with patio doors in the sitting room and an archway leading to a well-equipped kitchen/diner. Boasting a delightful double bedroom with access to a balcony overlooking the river with the benefit of a large sitting area, this bedroom can be adapted via sliding doors to provide two double bedrooms with a sprung mattress sofa bed.

The outside balcony affords fine river views - a lovely place to sit and watch the wildlife on the river and spot the steam trains passing by, there are communal lawned grounds outside leading down to the river, where seals, swans and ducks are regular visitors! The property also has use of a boat ramp. Although conveniently located away from the hustle and bustle, Whitby centre is just a short walk from the cottage, great for exploring the quaint cobbled streets, stroll on the beaches, visit the famous abbey and sample the many bars and restaurants. For those of an adventurous disposition there is the cinder track along the route of the former Whitby - Scarborough Railway to Robin Hoods Bay a flat 6 mile walk with wonderful coastal views and cosy pub stops.

The surrounding area has a wealth of attractions, including the stunning scenery of the North York Moors, tea rooms in pretty coastal villages, and trips on the steam train to Pickering stopping in Heartbeat country. A great Whitby cottage for all the family.

Located at the mouth of the River Esk, the ancient fishing port of Whitby is ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire. With its superb coastline and the spectacular North York Moors, the region is an excellent destination for walkers, cyclists and fans of outdoor activities. Whitby itself is a charming and atmospheric town, packed with winding streets and hidden alley ways. There is also a picturesque harbour, numerous safe, sandy beaches and of course the Abbey, reached by its famous 199 steps.
