Split over two storeys, this stunning two-bedroom cottage encompasses modern décor with original period features and is in an amazing location, situated just metres from the harbour which makes it a cosy bolthole for coastal explorers. Famous for its connections to Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Whitby (0.5 miles) has embraced its association with Gothic culture, reflected in the town’s quirky shops and cobbled streets. Outside your front door, enjoy stunning views of the headland by climbing the famous 199 Whitby Abbey steps (less than 0.5 miles) leading you from the Old Town up to St. Mary’s church. Throw yourself into the gothic atmosphere by discovering the ruins of 13th-century Whitby Abbey less than 0.5 miles away, overlooking the headland and boasting even more magical views over the rugged coastline. Get back to nature at Pannett Park 0.5 miles away and explore the woodland area, rose garden, Jurassic garden and one of the country’s only floral clocks.

A grand entrance porchway welcomes you through to a modern open-plan ground floor, with a sleek kitchen with plenty of cupboard spaces and all the appliances you’ll need to keep everyone fed on your stay. The kitchen is partitioned from the living space by a cosy dining table for four. Original features such as the panelled walls and exposed beams can be appreciated in the living space, with a comfortable sofa nestled aside an ornate fireplace. There is also a TV in here. On the first floor, you will find a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a TV and more stunning exposed beams, along with the designer wet-room featuring a wonderful walk-in shower and WC. A twin bedroom on the second floor under the eaves features statement exposed beams, a TV and wonderful views of the harbour and beyond.

The exterior of the cottage wraps around the cobbled street down to the harbour, and black flower boxes adorn the windows. There is no private garden available at the cottage but the beach is just metres.

A lovely very old cottage which oozes charm out of every corner. Very well equipped for modern day life whilst retaining its heritage in the old part of the town. Very well positioned for the local amenities. Our first trip to Whitby and hopefully not our last. Heating very good and under local control so you can easily adjust to suit yourselves, pRead moreersonally we found we had to turn it down as was very warm in the cottage. Lovely walks from the doorstep, did not have to us3 our car during our stay, easily found a parking spot not too far from the cottage. Lovely views of the harbour from the top floor. Hide

The overall was brilliant. One negative was the size of the TV. No bigger than a portable. We know you dont go on holiday to watch TV. But after a days walking in the freezing cold & its raining, a decent telly is a must. Ended up watching the tv in the bedroom most nights. As that was bigger

Beautiful cottage. Extremely clean. Great location. Parking in Whitby is difficult so once we found a parking space we didnt risk going out in the car in case we couldnt park on return. Obviously this is no reflection on the accommodation which is lovely. The upstairs bedroom is very relaxing with great views over the harbour.

Good facilities, well appointed, everything finished to a high standard. Lovely view of the harbour entrance from the top bedroom.
