Overview
Property code: OC-W957

This cosy three-storey cottage enjoys beautiful views of Whitby all around, with plenty of local eateries, independent shops and of course, Whitby’s glorious beach. Take a donkey ride or a surfing lesson down on West Cliff, or simply spend an afternoon relaxing on the golden sand. Ascend the famous 199 steps 2 miles away to St Mary’s Church with splendid views across Whitby, before visiting the historic Whitby Abbey. Alternatively, marvel at the beautiful scenery from a carriage of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway with the station just 0.5 miles away, or embark on an invigorating walk along the Cleveland Way to Robin Hood’s Bay 10 miles away.

Enter into the traditionally tiled hallway and head through to the casual dining room which seats six with a comfortable sofa and TV for relaxation. From here you can find the modern kitchen equipped with all the essentials for whipping up a delicious family meal with lovely views across Whitby. There is also a convenient breakfast bar, which is the perfect space for planning the day with a cup of hot brew. Completing the ground floor is the comfortable double master bedroom, with a modern fully-tiled en-suite with a shower and heated towel rail. On the first floor, you will find the calm lounge, with original panelled ceilings as well as an ornate fireplace for the flame-effect electric fire to bring some historic charm. From here you can access the delightful balcony. This floor houses the king-size bedroom with incredible views, as well as a spacious modern bathroom. On the second floor, the twin bedroom is lovingly decorated and is perfect for younger kids, and here you’ll also find the final shower room.

Step out onto the balcony to dine while looking out across the marvellous scenery of Whitby and the sea beyond.

This is a gorgeous cottage with incredible views. The lay out of 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms created lots of space. The 2 reception rooms again gave our family lots of space for the whole week.

Mount cottage is in a great location with a fantastic view over the harbour and up to the Abbey. Lovely comfortable beds, nice lounge area and very well equipped kitchen. The stairs were a bit challenging for my sisters but as we're all over 60 that's to be expected, I suppose. Parking was made easier by the tokens left for our use but bear in mindRead more that they don't guarantee you a place close to the cottage. We ended up on car parks on a couple of occasions. Despite these little niggles, I'd happily stay here again when visiting Whitby. Hide

Lovely break. Cottage in great location. Whitby busy for this March break so took awhile to get a car space in W permit spots. Something to bear in mind at peak times in Whitby.

I had the most delightful stay at this charming three-bedroom cottage in Whitby. First and foremost, the location is amazing. The balcony provides stunning panoramic views of Whitby Harbour from the sea and both piers on the left, all the way around past the Abbey, to the bustling town on the right. The location of the cottage allows for easy eRead morexploration of Whitby, as it's within walking distance of most attractions. I thoroughly enjoyed strolling through the town and its enchanting back alleys. I'm always stumbling upon new and intriguing places I haven't seen before. Inside, the cottage is cosy, well-equipped and heated well, ensuring a comfortable stay. The charm of this place is amplified by its original features, giving it a unique character. Now, I must mention the quaint challenge of navigating steep stairs and steps around the cottage a testament to its historical roots. It may be challenging for some. However, for me, it only added to the overall charm, reminiscent of the authentic feel of old cottages and it's what to expect in old buildings. Parking, though not directly outside due to the narrow one-way street, is conveniently solved with the provided permit for nearby parking. A small inconvenience easily overshadowed by the location and amazing views! Thank you for providing such a wonderful retreat. Hide

After four visits we are still amazed by the views from the balcony where subject to seagull activity one can relax and have a meal, drinks or simply bask in the sun.

I put a 3 for cleanliness as the lounge area was grubby and the top bathroom was grubby too cleaners were taedy in this regard. Found the instructions a bit draconian as to orders about emptying all wastebins and filling the dishwasher and removing all bedding off beds at the end of our weeks stay, i rather think that would be cleaners job not oursRead more . Having said that a Perfect view from balcony, good value for money., Hide
