About this property
Madelines View is a traditional, Grade II listed Fishermans cottage built 1735, with two-bedrooms and stunning harbour views situated in a great part of Whitby. This three-storey dwelling is the perfect place to admire the stunning views towards Whitby Abbey and is sure to provide you with a splendid escape with friends and family. Take over the kitchen in the open-plan living space, well-appointed with everything you need for the weekend, before gathering at the dining table and toasting to a much-needed getaway. Spend your down time lounging on the sofa before whisking away to the first floor; on this level there is a double bedroom and a bathroom with a choice of bath and shower over.
Up another set of stairs leads to a twin bedroom, built into the eaves, providing a delightful choice for children. Take a stroll through the cobbled streets and visit the iconic Whitby Abbey, a Grade I listed building, and the ruins of St. Hilda’s Abbey, both offering breathtaking views of the surrounding area. Stop by the local shops and find traditional souvenirs or enjoy a bite to eat at the renowned Magpie Café, known for their famous fish ‘n’ chips. Visitors can also explore the North Yorkshire Moors, where The Wainstones, Danby Beacon, the Mallyan Spout Waterfall, and the National Trust spot of Nunnington Hall await.
or travel to Scarborough and explore the ruins of Scarborough Castle and the sandy beach. Madelines View provides the perfect base from which to discover all that Whitby and the surrounding area has to offer.

House is lovely - great views, watched the boats come in and out and also took loads of photos of the sky above the abbey as it changed everyday depending on the weather. Kitchen has everything. Bathroom is nice and bed was really comfy. Was a superb stay.

It is in a great location, views of the harbour from every window and 2 mins to the beach. I booked for 2 weeks over Christmas and New Year and found the cottage well equipped for a lengthy stay over the festive period. Will hopefully visit again.
