Property code: OC-W454

Located along the cobbled Church Street and lined by shrubbery, this charming coastal cottage in the heart of Whitby is the perfect hideaway for a family or group of friends holidaying with their furry-tailed pal. Have a ball exploring the impressive historic ruins of Whitby Abbey with plenty of nooks and crannies for curious pups to sniff out, then stretch out for a snooze in the leafy courtyard while the humans tuck into an al fresco aperitif.

This stylish property boasts a refined rustic charm with exposed wooden beams, ornate details, and soft pastel and neutral tones. Step inside the inviting lounge/kitchen/diner and curl up in the ambient glow of the flame-effect electric fire while the resident chef prepares some nibbles in the shaker-style kitchen with a helpful hound pottering by their feet. Feast around the foldable dining table and debrief on the day’s events before sinking onto the comfortable sofa with a well-earned tipple. Rest up in the airy twin room on the first floor or ascend the staircase to the second floor to find a single and a beautifully presented double with a feature beamed ceiling. Grab a coffee and step up from the kitchen to the lush courtyard where you can plan out the day while Fido snuffles and plays.

Stroll to Whitby Harbour, 300 metres, and listen to the fishermen''s boats clinking in the water then get tails wagging as you tuck into some traditional fish and chips. Scamper to the beach-hut-lined shores of Whitby West Cliff Beach, 800 metres, where your energetic pup can bound, dig, and splash to his heart’s content. History buffs and curious canines will delight in exploring the picturesque Robin Hood’s Bay, 6 miles, steeped in legend with a dark smuggling past.

The property was lovely, however there could be just a couple of things that would make it better....there was tea and coffee but no milk...just a pint popped into the fridge would make all the difference after a long car journey....also we discovered that the fridge door shelf was removed because of being broken before our arrival...making storagRead moree in the fridge a little difficult....the only other suggestion would be at the end of the season or periodically check over the equipment etc and replace tired with new. Other than that every thing was good. Hide

Nice location but the cottage is very tired. The living room chair is stained and the locks to the doors to both entrances are pretty ropey. The photographs make the property feel much more fresh, new and loved than it actually is.

The property was quirky and well equipped. It was in a central location in Whitby and close to the shops and harbour. Access to the property was challenging in terms of the 2 flights of stone steps leading up to the front door. Although there was free parking available on street, this was some distance from the property.. These details are importaRead morent and should be made clearer on the website. Hide

Lovely location and not much of a problem unloading car and carrying to the location as the streets were fairly empty for Christmas. The living space downstairs was so tiny and not very comfortable for being indoors in winter but the kitchen was well stocked and oven was easy to use. It wasnt very warm downstairs but upstairs was very warm. Hot waRead moreter was patchy and never very hot. There was some nice decorations for Christmas. The steep stairs had been mentioned but werent much of a problem. My main issue was the fridge, I asked for measurement as it had been mentioned how small it was and I was told 84cms. However this was the height of the whole fridge freezer unit and the fridge was only half that, so we could not refrigerate all we had bought for Christmas. Hide
