Close to Whitby’s bustling Church Street, this period property is perfect for a large group to enjoy everything the town has to offer, with the beach, pubs, and shops less than 400 metres away. With many original features, the property is brimming with character and has ample space for seven guests. Your canine companions will love it here too with diverse dog walks on the moors and coast.
The impressive four-storey house dates back to the early 17th century and still has many original features, including exposed beams, a quarry-tiled floor, leaded windows, wood panelling and an Inglenook fireplace. There’s a Range oven for cooking up hearty meals in the kitchen, a Smart TV/DVD, games, and books for relaxing in the beautiful lounge and a handy utility room for doing laundry. There are four bedrooms across three floors: a double, two twins and a single. One twin is on the first floor along with the lounge. The master bedroom, with an en-suite shower room, and the gorgeous bathroom, complete with a claw-footed bath, are on the second floor. The second twin and adjoining single are on the third floor, which has reduced ceiling height due to the beams.
Leave your car at home and spend the week pottering around Whitby, famous for its fantastic ice cream parlours, fish and chip shops, and restaurants. Visit the ruins of the gothic Abbey up the 199 steps, with fantastic views out to sea. Jump on a train to Pickering (23 miles south) on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway – where furry family members ride for free. You can also take salty sea dogs aboard HMS Bark Endeavour to tour the nearby coastline and you’ll find lots of pretty walks for your four-legged friends throughout the North York Moors.
