Property code: OC-W317

Set in a historic corner of the coastal town of Whitby, this beautifully updated stone cottage makes a delightful hideaway for families and friends enjoying a peaceful seaside break. Occupying three floors, with ample space for four guests, the stylishly decorated property also has plenty of room for a four-pawed pal to join you in exploring the region’s dog-friendly beaches and glorious countryside. Standing on medieval foundations, this characterful Jacobean-era retreat provides cosy and snug accommodation for walkers, beach lovers and nature spotters discovering a vibrant but relaxing part of North Yorkshire, and features exposed stone walls and wood panelling, with views looking out over the town’s rooftops.

The beautifully decorated lounge has a Smart TV and ample seating, with atmospheric exposed stonework and wooden beams. Heading through, the galley kitchen/diner is a charming, fully equipped space leading to a handy utility room with a WC. Upstairs, the first floor has a refreshing bathroom and a pretty double bedroom, full of character. Finally, the second floor has a cosy twin bedroom with low sloping ceilings, wooden floorboards and a feature fireplace. From the kitchen, a door leads out into a small enclosed courtyard with garden furniture, offering a quiet spot for you to sit in the shade with your pup snoozing in the corner. Private parking is available close to the cottage.

Whitby is a wonderful resort for dogs and owners, with several dog-friendly beaches and a wealth of pet-welcoming places to eat and drink. The property is close to the River Esk, where you and your canine pal can join a boat trip out to sea. Over the river, the 199 Steps lead up to the remains of Whitby Abbey, or you can take a trip inland by steam engine to explore the North York Moors.

Though a little tired, a clean, comfortable cottage (I have advised owners of one or two things that could do with a little attention) - definitely recommend and would happily return! Perfect location

Advertised as real fire and dvd / cd player - neither of these existed. TV had no regular channels to watch, just catch up / app based which required log in. Other than these issues the property is great, fantastic location and the added bonus of a parking space ( 5 mins walk away) was superb.

Lovely, cosy cottage just off the harbour and characterful Flowergate. Quirky layout and traditional decor. We didn't have any Wi-Fi during our stay, that would have been a bonus but wasn't essential. Helpful and friendly owners, and dog friendly. Recommended!
