Description
Escape to Sanders House, a beautifully restored three-storey cottage tucked away in the heart of Whitby—one of North Yorkshire’s most beloved coastal towns. Just steps from the golden sands of Whitby Beach and moments from vibrant cafés, shops, and historic landmarks, this charming retreat offers the perfect setting for unforgettable holidays with family, friends, or a romantic getaway for two.
Arrive via the characterful outdoor staircase and step inside to discover an inviting blend of comfort, heritage, and style. Rustic beams and original features pair seamlessly with thoughtfully designed, modern interiors. On the first floor, a sleek fully-equipped kitchen/diner with a wall-mounted Smart TV invites slow breakfasts, cosy evening meals, and laughter-filled gatherings. Next door, the welcoming sitting room offers plenty of space to unwind—sink into the plush corner sofa and settle in for movie nights after days spent exploring the coast.
Across the upper floors, four beautifully presented bedrooms await—two doubles and two twins—each designed to help you drift into a restful night’s sleep. Two bedrooms boast their own private en-suite bath or shower rooms, adding a touch of luxury to your stay.
Each morning, savour a refreshing shower and a warm cup of coffee before setting off to explore Whitby’s captivating charm. Wander through winding streets to Whitby Abbey, St Mary’s Church, the Whalebone Arch, and the famous 199 Steps, or simply enjoy the bustle of the harbour and the sweep of the shoreline. Venture further afield along the dramatic coastline: discover the postcard-perfect village of Robin Hood’s Bay, enjoy the lively seaside attractions of Scarborough, or take a nostalgic journey on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway from nearby Pickering. For those seeking tranquillity, the enchanting Guisborough Woods and historic Guisborough Priory offer peaceful woodland walks and heritage charm. And of course, no visit is complete without exploring the breathtaking North York Moors National Park, with its rolling heather, big skies, and some of the most inspiring landscapes in England. With its unbeatable location, characterful interiors, and endless adventures on your doorstep, Sanders House promises a holiday you’ll treasure long after you leave.

What guests are saying
The accommodation was as described.
Nicely decorated and comfortable. A couple of things worth noting - Whilst the weather was unusually hot, the bedrooms were very hot at night. I was on the first floor and couldn't open the window more than a couple of inches so no breeze at all. The ladies on the second floor were even hotter and none of us (4) were able to sleep. Fans in the bedrooms would be a great asset. The shower in the first floor bathroom only provided hot or very hot water. I couldn't turn the heating down at all. Definitely needs looking at !!!
The house was quirky and well located.
However the cleanliness was not optimal, crockery dirty and so we needed to re wash items before use. Alley leading to house was covered in vomit and cigarette butts, a men's drinking club is located below the property, was at times noisy. Only a "starter pack" of essential items is included in the price, meaning guests will have to start holiday buying essentials; dishwasher tabs, toilet paper etc. We also had maintenance problems, the letting agents Yorkshire Coastal cottages and Sykes were woefully inadequate and unhelpful, we finally managed to contact the owner directly - who couldn't have been nicer. The company policy of "starter packs" and cleanliness of the property fell below our expectations of a stress free holiday, however if willing to spend first day of holiday cleaning and shopping the house was charming.
Fabulous place to stay.
Right in the centre so perfect for walking everywhere. House was beautiful, very clean, spacious and very well equipt. Would certainly stay again.
