    “We have just returned from 5 nights at Midships in Whitby.”

    It's a lovely, cosy cottage with a well equipped kitchen. There was a lovely basket of goodies waiting for us. It was so warm and cosy, except the loft had an issue with the radiator by a quick message to the owner, and it was quickly sorted. The location was fab, one row back from the quayside. My only issue was the view, the cottage overlooks the backs of the shops infront, so you are looking at a wall. However, there's not much you can do about that! I'd say it's not suitable ...

    It's a lovely, cosy cottage with a well equipped kitchen. There was a lovely basket of goodies waiting for us.

My only issue was the view, the cottage overlooks the backs of the shops infront, so you are looking at a wall. However, there's not much you can do about that! I'd say it's not suitable for those with mobility issues due to the steep spiral stairs, but we loved it.

About the location

WHITBY

Robin Hood's Bay 5.5 miles; Scarborough 19.3 miles; Pickering 23 miles; Guisborough 21.5 miles.

The seaside town and port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire. Ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire, the local area hosts an array of activities so you can be sure to get the best out of both the countryside and the coast. From the nearby North York Moors to its Blue Flag beaches, there's something here for everyone. Amongst its many attractions, Whitby holds a charming atmosphere, home to winding streets and hidden alleys, where you can find a wide selection of eateries and shops scattered amongst them. Take a trip to the picturesque harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun set or get involved in some whale watching or a coastal cruise to watch the creatures up close. Climb the famous 199 steps to the Whitby Abbey to immerse yourself with history, or visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum presenting historical and ethnographic exhibition about Cook himself. Close to the Robin Hood's Bay, rich in heritage, wonders and scenic spots, and in easy reach of the bustling towns of Scarborough and Middlesbrough, Whitby is a prime location for exploring all of the delights that Yorkshire has to offer.
