Property code: OC-P30284

Walk along the Yorkshire Heritage Coast and explore the North York Moors when you book this Whitby hideaway. Sleeping four guests and their pawsome pal, the three-bedroom cottage nestles at the heart of the historic town. Offering accommodation across three storeys, and a courtyard garden where you and your puppy pal can bask in the sunshine on summer days. Whitby Abbey and dog-friendly Tate Hill Beach are both nearby (0.5 miles).

Step in from the street and leave walking boots and dog leads in the entrance hall before emerging in the lounge. Watch your contented canine stretch out on the rug while you enjoy the comfort of the soft seating and chat about your day. Play games in here, watch TV together and stream your favourite shows on the Amazon Fire Stick. The adjoining kitchen/diner is well equipped with everything you will require to whip up delicious meals with the produce you have bought in town. Reward your chum with a heaped bowl in here too. Give soft ears one last rub before bed then head upstairs to the first and second floors, where your bedrooms and bathroom are located. A lovely king-size bedroom and a small double, which looks out towards the abbey, are on the first floor, while a single and the family bathroom are on the top floor. Call your pup out into the courtyard garden with you to enjoy the sea air. While away warm evenings here together over a bottle of wine. There is no parking at this cottage but there are pay and display areas close by.

Follow a 7-mile section of the Cleveland Way to Robin Hood’s Bay with your faithful friend at your heel. Paddle in the sea and potter in the rockpools at dog-friendly Saltwick Bay, 3 miles away.

Cute and quirky cottage in postcard pretty Whitby. We enjoyed a take away from the famous Trenches chip shop. We also enjoyed food and cocktails on the balcony of Macey Browns in the sunshine. We enjoyed local dressed crab and ice-creams, a windy walk on the beach and of course the 199 steps to Whitby Abbey. We had a comfortable and pleasant stay aRead moret Poppy cottage with 2 teenagers and our dog. Nice and cozy to watch films in the evening. The property was clean with comfy beds and plenty of towels. All essential kitchen amenities (no air fryer or dishwasher). Kitchen diner is small to seat 4. Bathroom is attic level next to third (single) bedroom. The stairs two flights of stairs are steep and winding. Street level access and very centrally located. Hide

The cottage is well located with easy access to Whitby harbour. The cottage is small and cozy. It is well equipped. The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom is on the top floor up quite steep stairs so my mum (80) struggled a bit with the access. The cottage wasnt the cleanest when we arrived, strong dog smell, carpets on stairs in need of Read morea good clean and dirty trays in the oven but bedrooms, living room and bathroom were spotless and nothing that would stop us from revisiting as all fixable.
