White Horse Cottage

In a quiet position just off the cobbled Church Street, this charming home is the perfect setting for a family getaway to the Yorkshire coast. It’s situated close to Whitby’s Old Town, between the harbourside and the Abbey, with all amenities within a mile. Climb the 199 steps to Whitby Abbey, spend a day on the beach, visit the historic whalebone arch and dine on some of the country’s best fish and chips. Further afield, you can walk along the Cleveland Way to Robin Hood’s Bay or explore the wider North York Moors National Park, with breathtaking scenery.

Climb the 32 steps from White Horse Yard to reach the property. On the ground floor, the hallway leads into a bright and characterful lounge, with a wood burner-effect gas fire in a feature fireplace, and comfortable seating around a Smart TV. Also on this floor is the kitchen/diner, with everything you need to enjoy family meals together. Climb the stairs to the first floor where there’s a double bedroom and a bathroom. The second bedroom – a twin – is on the second floor and features some sloped ceilings.

Outside is a real stand-out feature of the property: a sunny garden with a patio, table and chairs. Sit out here with a glass of something special and enjoy the far-reaching views over the rooftops and towards the estuary.

We had a very nice stay at the house. The location is great, a quiet corner just off the main attractions. Close for everything, railway/bus station, shopping and restaurants. In particular the small garden is a plus on sunny days. The house was very well cleaned when we arrived. Definitely not suitable for wheelchair or small kids, but more spacioRead moreus than we expected from the pictures. There is no dishwasher but otherwise well equipped, incl iron and a ironing board and a good collection of DVDs and books. At the same time there was enough space for our luggage, food etc. Hide

We had a wonderful stay at this cosy, well equipped and clean cottage. The location is perfect right near all the local shops, pubs and restaurants. Our dog enjoyed Tate Hill Beach which is so close to the cottage.

Lovely cottage. Clean comfortable everything you need. Lovely garden that gets the sun nearly all day. Right in the middle of Whitby but tucked away and quiet. My 6th time in the cottage and Im sure Ill be back as long as I can climb the steps.

Lovely cottage. Fantastic break. Really amazing location. Cosy and good value with lots of character. Our kids enjoyed the games on the book case and the TV with lots of channels. Great for exploring Whitby, the abbey and church, and trips to Robin Hoods Bay. Would recommend.

Very well and thoughtfully equipped cottage. Lots of storage in bedrooms and bathroom. Great location: central and convenient for everything but also quiet.
