Whitby Cottages

The Great British seaside holiday is alive and well in Whitby. This gem of a town on the Yorkshire coast naturally blends sandy beaches, arcades and ice creams with a rich literary and maritime history. An enduringly popular holiday spot, the town and nearby area offer lots of options when it comes to choosing a holiday cottage.

Reasons to Holiday in Whitby

Whitby Abbey

Perhaps most famous for its connection to Dracula by Bram Stoker, the author who had visited Whitby some years prior was inspired to set scenes from the novel in the town, including the famous 199 steps which lead up to the ruins of the gothic Abbey. Today the Abbey is a big tourist draw owing to the challenging walk up the steps, the views of the town and harbour from the top and the museum and visitors centre that goes beyond vampires to delve into the Viking and Saxon history of the town.

Beaches

Whitby Beach is a large, family-friendly beach complete with donkey rides in the summer. There are also dual concrete piers, with a lighthouse at the end of each which form the mouth of the harbour. These can be walked along but are not your typical pleasure pier complete with arcades and attractions. Those are adjacent the harbour and are also the place to sign up and jump aboard numerous different types of boat tour. Further west is Sandsend Beach, a lovely golden beach complete with a small coastal village, a great place to explore. Follow the Cleveland way east, and you'll reach Saltwick Bay. This small bay is quieter than Whitby and Sandsend but great for a more secluded beach day out.

Where to Stay in Whitby

Whitby is much more than just a tourist town and is worth a visit at any time of the year. Whether you like the bracing air of Christmas and New Year by the sea or the balmy English summer, we can help.

From traditional fisherman's cottages with sea views to grander detached houses away from the hustle and bustle we are sure to have a self catering property in Whitby to suit you.

A: Whitby is our most popular destination in North Yorkshire, closely followed by Scarborough and Richmond according to our booking data.

Q. What is the average price for a holiday cottage in Whitby?

A: Our recent booking data tells us that on average people pay £48 per person per a night to stay in Whitby. Though we offer properties at a range of price points and costs do vary at different times of the year.

Q. Is Whitby a popular place for family holidays?

A: Families obviously love Whitby, as it is our most popular family destination in North Yorkshire. With the beaches, arcades, piers and boat rides on offer, we're not all that surprised.

Q. Is Whitby a good place to take your dog on holiday?

A: Although you will find plenty of dog-friendly establishments and walking routes in and around Whitby, it is less popular than Scarborough for those who take their pets on holiday with them.

Q. When should I book to get the best deal on a holiday cottage in Whitby?

A: Holiday cottage pricing works based on supply and demand, so booking early always gives you a good choice of price and availability, though we can tell you that our average booker locks in their accommodation 40 days before they come, so any date before should offer a decent amount of choice at a fair price.

What our customers say about their holidays

  • Sarah - Verified booking

    Helredale Retreat Whitby The Retreat is a home from home and you could not ask for more.

    It’s located just over the main bridge with a short walk right down the bank into Whitby town, the retreat itself has everything and more. The main bedroom has the best bed I have ever slept in with a shower and toilet room we just used the one downstairs.The second bedroom never got used but has another double bed with single bunk above it. The main bathroom downstairs has a lovely bath with mega hot water for after those days of walking or just jump in the shower. The gardens To the front you can park two cars outside on the drive so no paying to park or spend time looking for a space. To the rear is an enclosed garden with views to the abbey in distance. There is a shop as described in the pack a short walk up the bank to left, just past this is a play park with plenty of space to walk the dog in the morning. For nice quiet night we walked to the half penny pub just 8 minutes past the shop along the road. The food is lovely especially the steak and there are tables where you can take you pet with you. Chris the owner is very helpful and even offered to let us stay in the retreat till late on our last day. Will definitely stay here again. Regards Michael, Sarah and Bailey the dog

  • Hazel - Verified booking

    We had a lovely stay at Helredale.

    I did read about the previous niggles in earlier reviews, but they were obviously sorted by the time we got there (mid May 2024) as we had nothing to complain about at all. It was very clean and tidy. The garden was perfect for our small dog, who will find the smallest of gaps to escape through! It was completely secure and that's our priority when choosing a holiday home. The kitchen is really well equipped. Wifi and Sky TV worked well (we didn't have great weather so were reliant on that in the evenings). It's literally a 15-20 minute walk into the heart of Whitby, so ideally located to walk into the town. You're able to see the abbey from the back bedroom. Off street parking worked well, the road is busy but the double glazing must be very high grade because you can't hear any traffic at all once in the house. I found it really great value for money and the pics gave a very true reflection on reality, so we got exactly what we expected.

  • Alan - Verified booking

    Very nice clean and cosy little holiday home.

    Arrived to a double drive which was perfect as had two cars (not small cars) and they fit perfect. Entrance leads into a cosy living room with sofa and sky tv. Kitchen had plenty of cupboard space and plenty enough plates cups etc… the family bathroom is downstairs which was handy having a toilet downstairs! They is a small utility room/coat room which led to a enclosed garden which was perfect as we took our dog. Upstairs is two bedrooms each with a double bed and one with a single above (bunk bed) master bedroom has a handy en-suite with a shower which was a great powerful shower! The master bed was super comfy!! We had a great weekend here! The house is a great spot only a short walk from harbour and a 5 minute walk from a small shop. Will definitely be staying here again!

  • Amanda - Verified booking

    This is a great, warm and relaxing house, ideally located just outside Whitby town and harbour.

    The decor is fresh and there is everything you need. Beds are large and comfortable with a dressing table and full length mirror in the master. The downstairs bathroom is clean with a bath and shower. The kitchen is again clean and has everything you would expect. The living room is fresh and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay here. Communication from owner was warm and friendly and we could have gone in earlier if we didn’t have such a long drive. The house is ideally located for all the tourist attractions within walking distance although the tour bus does go very near to the property - used to our advantage as Whitby is very hilly! We would definitely stay here again and recommend Helredale Retreat. 10/10

  • Diane - Verified booking

    The house is on a busy main road and is a mid terraced house and not the cottage I was expecting but it is a very nice place and with some maintenance would be so much better.

    There are holes in the lounge walls, with metal washers, there is trunking that's not needed and there is no architrave on the en suite bathroom door. Unfortunately the sink in en-suite is difficult to use as it is on top of the toilet cistern and there is no room. The showers are both very good. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped - I cannot comment on the oven or hob as we did not use either but everything else was great. We enjoyed our stay even with the maintenance issues as it's very easy from the location to get to all the attractions Whitby has to offer. One more thing of note there is an information folder provided by the owner but this needs updating.
