  • Ideal base for exploring the beautiful coast and North York Moors

Property code: OC-W015

Taking your VIPs (very important pups) on holiday with you will be a delight at this detached property. This three-bed modern house in Whitby makes for an ideal family break with up to two furry friends. It has a comfortable and relaxing vibe and is equipped with everything you’d want in a home from home. With the beach and promenade just 0.5 miles away, walkies are one less thing to worry about. Base your holiday around sandy shenanigans in the town or use this house as a jumping-off point for exploring the lovely North Yorkshire coastline.

Extended to the rear, this detached house gives you plenty of living space in its open-plan kitchen/diner which has a feature wood burner in a dual-sided chimney in the middle of the room. The sleek contemporary kitchen flows into the dining area, flooded by light from Velux windows and the French doors onto the garden. There’s comfortable seating in here, so you can all hang out doing different things – and with practical and attractive wood flooring, the dogs will find a spot that’s perfect for them too. The elegant lounge has a pebble flame-effect electric fire, and completing the ground-floor is a utility room, cloakroom and wet room. The welcoming bedrooms upstairs offer modern furniture and neutral decor for a restful night, and there’s a bathroom on this floor too. Outside, there’s a furnished patio and lawned garden that’s totally enclosed so any canine companions can spend time safely sniffing around.

Whitby centre is within 1 mile and is proximal to the beach, shops, cafes and eateries. Look up from the town to spy ruined Whitby Abbey on its clifftop. You’ll have to have fish and chips at least once, which also gives you a break from self-catering! Grab the dogs’ leads and blow the cobwebs away along the cliff-top walking trail to the pretty fishing village of Sandsend (2 miles) or Robin Hood’s Bay (7 miles).

Location is good, about 20 mind walk straight down the hill into town and about 40 mins walk to Sandsend and as a result nice and quiet. Lovely kitchen/diner area. The White House pub nearby is good if you don't want to walk into town. Good value and definitely recommended

A lovely home , perfect location, comfortable and well equipped. The only downside for our group dynamic was that the two children had to share a doublebed which we were aware of when we booked. We would recommend this property. The owners were helpful over a couple of minor problems and resolved them immediately.

Geelong is a well equipped, comfortable, tastefully decorated holiday home. The location is excellent for walkers and drivers. It is within easy access of amenities and regional resorts.
