Whitby in North Yorkshire remains one of the regions most popular tourist hotspots, and with good reason. The town is at the mouth of the River Esk, and this old fishing port retains mush character in its winding streets and hidden alleys. There is a picturesque harbour, sandy beach and the famous Whitby Abbey. Close to other seaside destinations such as Scarborough, Staithes and Robin Hood's Bay, Whitby is also ideally placed for heading inland and exploring the beautiful countryside of the North York Moors National Park.

16 minute walk to the harbour, although there is a big hill to walk back up, so not ideal for anyone who struggles to walk. The accommodation was spotless and has a lovely little garden and parking for two small cars. We loved the beams, the mezzanine bedroom in the property and the log burner, although we only used it once, as the central heating made the property really toasty. I would definitely recommend this property to my family/friends and would also book again x

Would like to return in the future . No issues with the school nextdoor, noise or traffic.

Conveniently located on the edge of Whitby but close enough for walking into the town through several different directions.It is also very close to the Cinder Track cycle/walking path which goes all the way to Scarborough. Although the cottage is adjacent to a secondary school this caused us no problems whatsoever and following the hosts directions on arrival we drove straight to the property without any problem.
