    “Best equipped holiday cottage we've ever stayed in - spotlessly clean and with a lovely welcome pack which was much appreciated.”

    Lovely comfortable beds and the garden was great to sit and read in. It's in a really quiet area with a 15/20 minute walk to the West Cliff and from there beautiful beach walks either into Sandsend or Whitby town. The only thing missing is a gate to the garden - our pup kept going walkabout but luckily the lovely lady in no 3 is a dog lover!! A gate would make this cottage absolutely perfect

    Thank you for your positive review. It is much appreciated and we’re glad you had an enjoyable stay. We note your constructive comment about the gate. Given the gate faces the house and the rest is fenced/walled we hadn’t considered a gate essential before. However, having read your review this is something we will definitely now look into.

The property

2 High Stakesby Cottages offers a charming base in the much-loved coastal town of Whitby, North Yorkshire.

Combining traditional character with homely necessities, this terraced retreat is ideal for couples, families, or friends eager to explore the dramatic coastline, rolling moors, and rich history that make this part of Yorkshire so special. Inside, you’ll find a well-equipped kitchen/diner designed for easy, sociable self-catering.

Whether you’re preparing a hearty breakfast before a day at the beach or enjoying an evening meal with a bottle of something local, you’ll have everything you need, oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge, kettle, and toaster.

The sitting room invites you to unwind after a breezy clifftop walk, with an electric fire taking centre stage for fireside evenings. Upstairs, there are two welcoming bedrooms: a double with its own TV and a twin ideal for friends or younger guests.

Both are served by a bright bathroom featuring a bath with shower over, basin, heated towel rail, and WC.

Families are well catered for, with a highchair and travel cot thoughtfully provided. Step outside to the enclosed rear garden, a peaceful spot with lawn and outdoor furniture, perfect for morning coffee, evening drinks, or letting the dog stretch its legs.

Roadside parking adds convenience, and one small well-behaved dog is welcome to join the adventure. From your doorstep, stroll into Whitby itself, where the haunting ruins of Whitby Abbey overlook cobbled streets, the harbour, and long sandy beaches.

Explore quirky shops and sample classic fish and chips before venturing further along the coast to Robin Hood’s Bay, famed for its smuggling history and winding lanes.

For a traditional day out, Scarborough offers seaside charm, while Pickering and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway open the door to the wild beauty of the moors. With a welcoming atmosphere and an unbeatable location, 2 High Stakesby Cottages promises a memorable stay on the Yorkshire coast, a place where history, sea air, and simple pleasures come together beautifully.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

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.

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.
