Frida’s Cottage bursts with colour and creativity in the heart of Whitby, offering a stay as distinctive as the town itself.
This listed, three-storey retreat dates back over two centuries and celebrates character at every turn, drawing inspiration from Frida Kahlo with bold hues, playful details, and an uplifting atmosphere.
Step through the petite porch into a welcoming lounge where an electric log burner sets the scene for relaxed evenings after coastal adventures.
Beyond lies the kitchen/dining area, a sociable space for shared meals and planning tomorrow’s outings, with doors leading to a shared yard for a breath of fresh air.
A charming radio adds a homely touch here, perfect for background music while cooking or chatting over dinner.
Two steep staircases reveal the upper floors: the first hosts a bright double bedroom and a family bathroom with Jacuzzi bath and shower over, while the top floor continues the artistic theme with the vibrant “parrot” bedroom and a snug for quiet moments.
In this upstairs lounge, guests will also find a record player with a curated selection of vinyl, inviting them to enjoy a nostalgic soundtrack to their stay.
Outside, cheerful orange furniture adds a splash of fun to the yard, echoing the cottage’s spirited design.
Guests will also discover plenty of books, board games, and even musical instruments, ensuring cosy nights in are filled with creativity and entertainment.
From your doorstep, explore Whitby’s historic harbour, sandy beach, and winding streets, or venture further to the North York Moors for sweeping landscapes and wildlife.
Scarborough’s beaches, castle, and family attractions promise even more variety.
Frida’s Cottage is a truly unique base for a memorable Whitby escape filled with charm and creativity.
