Stay in this quaint cottage in the seaside village of Whitby to spend glorious days strolling the beach (0.5 miles) and evenings on the cottage’s rooftop patio. Wander Whitby’s cobbled streets and historic yards and stumble upon local pubs where you can sample fresh seafood. Hike the 199 steps to the ruins of Whitby Abbey (0.3 miles) for incredible views that inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula or make your way to the historic harbour (0.5 miles). Early in the morning you can see fishing boats sail into port and get first choice of catch for your dinner. Head to Robin Hood’s Bay (5.5 miles) and learn all about the secret life of 18th-century smugglers on the Smugglers’ Trail.

Step inside this characterful cottage and you’ll find yourself in a spacious lounge/dining room with original exposed timber panels. Take a moment to slip onto a sofa and make yourself at home in front of the wood burner. When it’s time for dinner, head to the modern shaker-style kitchen, where you’ll find everything you need to cook for your loved ones. Get everyone together to share a meal at the table in the lounge/dining room before heading up to the first floor landing to access the lovely rooftop terrace. On the first floor, you’ll also find a double bedroom with a beautiful traditional fireplace and a chic family bathroom. Up on the second floor, two single bedrooms complete this charming cottage’s layout.

In the morning, the rooftop terrace is the perfect spot to enjoy your freshly-brewed morning coffee, and is accessed from the first-floor landing.

The central location is great, if not a little noisy because to that. We were promised parking scratch cards, but got none. I presume that is part of the cost of the rental, so we lost out there. I did try and call several times on the Saturday when we arrived, but the phone was never answered. I did then email my concern that day, but this was Read morestill not responded to until Tuesday, by which time Id made other arrangements. Hide

This is a lovely little cottage, perfectly placed within Whitby right in the centre of town, but tucked nicely away, and amazingly quiet given it's location. It was the ideal place to stay for exploring the town and the whole family loved it. We would highly recommend this accommodation.

A have stayed at a number of cottages in Whitby over the years with family. in my opinion Lady bird cottage is definitely one of the best. It has a lovely layout, nice rooms with a good mix of original features and modern touches. The outside seating area was nice and came in handy, it just happended to be a suntrap later in the day. If wRead moree get the opportunity in the future I would like to stay hear again Hide

Drop off point is poor when you have to unload and load your luggage then have to carry along ro house. Drove round for 2 hours trying to look for parking zones for scratch card areas, still didn't find any , so had to park elsewhere! Mattress is poor in main bedroom.

Perfect location in the heart of the Old Town. Little noise with the exception of seagulls which is to be expected. Beds were comfortable and shower worked well. Property felt spacious, was very clean and well decorated throughout. 2 keys available which was very handy.
