    The pictures of the cottage in times gone by was a great feature. It has been renovated well and has modern amenities and a great kitchen/dining area, it is a small cottage but has everything we needed as a family of four. It is in a very central location, it is of note parking was an additional expense and for the week was 70.00. The owner was responsive to communication and was helpful with instructions, arrival and departure was easy and hassle free. There are a couple of issues that did impact our stay one was the sofa which is in dire need of replacement and the master bed which is also in need of a new mattress, if these two issues were rectified it would be a five star stay. A tip for Whitby is book the restaurants that have good reviews as they will be booked up and won’t accept walk ins.

Sympathetically restored to a high standard, this Grade ll listed, former jet worker's cottage is ideal for couples or small families wishing to enjoy the many attractions this quaint and charming town has to offer.

Cosy and characterful, this Whitby cottage retains original beams, as well as steep, winding cottage stairs and sloping ceilings.

Providing comfortable accommodation, this quaint cottage in Whitby has an open plan living area with a quality kitchen, breakfast bar and comfy seating.

Furnished and decorated with a contemporary feel throughout, this stylish Whitby cottage remains warm and inviting, with two tasteful bedrooms and a modern shower room.

A two-minute walk from this Whitby cottage brings you into the hustle and bustle of this atmospheric town, with restaurants, pubs, tea rooms and independent shops all on the doorstep.

Explore the cobbled streets and market square, climb the 199 steps up to the abbey and admire the breathtaking views, or stroll down to the picturesque harbour and the long, sandy beaches.

The Captain Cook Memorial Museum is well worth visiting, as is Pannet Park with its art gallery and lovely floral displays.
