Sunnyside is a beautiful characterful cottage, set over three floors, which has been lovingly furnished and decorated to welcome you on a very special break to the seaside. Situated on the west side of Whitby, which boasts the idyllic beach stretching to Sandsend, Sunnyside is just beside a popular street which has many independent shops and bars, including a famous bakery. There is also a micro pub which serves the locally distilled Whitby Gin, as well as local beers, ales and ciders to enjoy.
This is an ideal choice for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in an authentic stay in Whitby, as everything is within walking distance. Stepping inside, the snug living room at the front of the cottage has an electric fire with comfortable seating for five, plus a characterful rocking chair. The open-plan kitchen/dining room looks out onto a well-presented, enclosed yard. Wind down in an evening as you plan the events for the days ahead over indulgent desserts, as well as a glass of something special, either around the dining table or out in the evening sun, surrounded by the twinkling fairy lights. You have the added convenience of a utility room, which can be used as a laundry room after sandy days at the beach. Upstairs on the first floor you have a modern bathroom and two double bedrooms, both beautifully furnished with a vintage twist evoking the cottage’s past. The master bedroom has a TV and a chaise longue, ideal for lounging with a good book. On the top floor you have a twin bedroom under the eaves, with Velux windows and original beams, which is decorated in a nautical theme.
Take advantage of the golden beach stretching from Whitby to Sandsend, which forms part of the stunning Yorkshire and Cleveland Heritage Coast, home to towering cliffs, rocky shores, steep wooded valleys, sheltered bays and sandy beaches. It is a coastline of dramatic views, with the highest point on the east coast of England found at Boulby, near Staithes, where the cliffs are a mighty 200 metres high. Photographic villages and tranquil bays are dotted along the coast.
In Whitby itself, there is plenty to keep all ages entertained. Take the 199 steps to Whitby Abbey, which is said to be the inspiration behind Bram Stoker’s novel, Dracula, or explore the myriad of curio shops. Famous for its fish and chips, Whitby has many award-winning seafood restaurants, as well as trendy bars along the harbour side. Further afield is the North York Moors National Park, which you can explore on the heritage steam train which departs from Whitby station, and see some stunning scenery. Alternatively, explore the traditional seaside town of Scarborough, the medieval walled city of York or the theme park and zoo at Flamingo Land. Pub 1 mile.

Andrew
Lovely cottage, comfortable, clean and excellent attention to detail (biscuits / tea/ coffee / pet treats) thanks so much. Beds / bed linen and towels very luxurious. Such a lovely home from home, thank you. Location couldn’t be better for the west cliff area and everything but has to offer. Short stroll to the old part of Whitby. House so comfortable and welcoming with so many lovely touches to make our stay comfortable. Noisy neighbours this time unfortunately at number 15 and some chose to leave their dog in the house for several hours which was very distressing for us to hear, poor thing.

The accommodation is ideally situated for visitors to Whitby. We visit in winter which means free parking in nearby West Cliff car park. The beds are clean and comfortable and sitting room is cozy. The cottage has pubs and eateries in close proximity. This was our third stay here and have already booked for next year.

The second time we have stayed at Sunnyside Cottage, which is something we don't normally do. Comfortable, convenient and cosy with a great location. Nice and quiet and away from the hubbub too. Certainly recommend for 3-4 people, although it does sleep 6. Would be bit of a squeeze for 6 I feel. There is a dishwasher provided, so unsure why some of the crockery was put away unclean? We had a lovely time as ever in this quaint cobble streeted cottage.
