Set on Whitby’s historic East Side, a stick’s throw from the lively harbour, this restored Grade II-listed getaway provides the perfect base for families and groups of friends to explore the Yorkshire coast with their canine companions.
Lead the way down the 18 steps, through the garden, and into the welcoming first floor, which boasts a blissful double bedroom and stylish shower room. The ground floor encompasses a spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner brimming with homely touches; your four-pawed pal won’t be able to resist snoozing beside the roaring multi-fuel burner. A door from here takes you down stone steps directly to the harbour. Leave your pup to doze and head up to the second floor to retire to the second double bedroom, which features fetching harbour views. The third floor encompasses a charming twin bedroom tucked beneath exposed beams, complete with rooftop views across the harbour and sea and an extra pull-out bed and futon to cater for an additional two guests. Little paws can soak up some sunshine on the raised seating area in the patio garden whilst you dine alfresco. On-street parking is subject to availability.
Its rich Gothic culture and maze of cobbled streets lined with local shops and cafes give Whitby an eclectic yet bustling atmosphere. Race your canine companion up the iconic 199 Whitby Abbey steps, half a mile away, to be rewarded with panoramic views over the ruins of the Gothic Abbey and coastline beyond. Take the lead to peruse the bustling harbour half a mile away to sniff out the catch of the day. Treat your pup to an afternoon practising the doggy paddle along the gorgeous sandy stretch of Whitby Beach, 2.5 miles away.
