Within a couple of hundred metres of Pannett Park, the home of Whitby Museum, this two-storey cottage, tucked away on one of the quaint Whitby Yards, serves as a romantic bolthole for a couple bringing their dog on a holiday. With a host of original features, cosy rooms and rooftop views of the harbour town’s historic abbey ruins, the cottage is close to some of the North York Moors’ most famous landmarks, making it ideal for walkers, nature lovers and sea foodies eager to get a true flavour of the area.
The first-floor lounge/diner is a homely space to enjoy a sofa snuggle in front of an evening film, share a romantic meal or watch the sunset over the town. The compact kitchen is capable of serving up some cracking meals, with alluring aromas sure to fill the nose of your canine companions before anyone else. The second floor is home to a spacious double room which features an en-suite shower room, beamed ceilings, a TV for late night or lay-in viewing and views across the rooftops of the East Cliff to the abbey and St Mary''s Church.
Along with Pannett Park (300 metres), Whitby is home to a range of dog-friendly attractions, including its West Pier, Tate Hill Beach and its ruined abbey, all within 1 mile of the apartment. Dogs are very welcome in Robin Hood’s Bay (5.5 miles), its sprawling beach being home to hundreds of metres of sand and seaweed to play about on. The North York Moors (5 miles) is crisscrossed by stunning walking and cycling routes, with the scenic village of Goathland (9 miles), the setting for TV’s Heartbeat, accessible via steam train from Whitby.
