White Horse Cottage 

Tucked away in a tranquil spot near the cobbles of Whitby’s Church Street, just a stick’s throw from the historic Old Town and its romantic atmosphere, this bolthole boasts a south-facing garden and sea views that’ll keep everyone’s tails wagging. Elegant coastal style abounds throughout creating a cosy, welcoming space for four guests and their canine companion to enjoy a relaxing escape.

After the day’s adventure, let your waggy-tailed pal lead you through the front door and into the charming and quaint living room – hunker down on either of the comfy sofas and catch your favourite programme on the Smart TV while your pup curls up in front of the inviting gas fire. Lead the way through to the rear of the cottage to whip up a hearty meal in the well-equipped kitchen/diner and enjoy a family meal around the dining table with your pup right beside you. The spacious family bathroom upstairs makes light work of cleaning sandy paws. You’ll find two comfortable and calming bedrooms across the first and second floors to call your own and let sleeping dogs lie. Unleash your four-legged friend into the beautiful south-facing patio where little paws can soak up the last of the day’s sun as you enjoy dining alfresco.

With rich connections to Captain Cook and Bram Stoker, Whitby’s quirky narrow streets are filled with independent shops and a bustling harbour overlooked by the striking Gothic ruins of Whitby Abbey, and offer plenty of winding paths for you to explore with your four-pawed third wheel. Grab the lead and take on the challenge of the 199 Whitby Abbey steps, beginning less than half a mile away, and you’ll be rewarded with some spectacular views of Whitby from the top. Your pup will go barking mad bounding through the waves and feeling the golden sand between their paws along the east side of Whitby Beach, half a mile from the cottage.

A lovely weekend break in this pretty, character cottage. Perfect location for us (2 adults), though theres number of steps up to the cottage and may not be ideal for anyone with mobility issues. Gorgeous little garden which had a lovely outlook for a coffee/glass of wine. It suited our requirements and would definitely return.

We loved the central location & the cottage had everything we needed. We especially loved the views & the outside terrace area. Kitchen well stocked with modern equipment, comfortable lounge & beds & a hot shower. Very cosy & warm - recommended.

We loved this old cottage and it's lovely sun-trap garden, very handy for the town and the harbour. Comfy beds and surprisingly quiet on a night, especially given it's central location.

We had a wonderful week here and felt at home from the very first minute. The cottage is in a quiet location, cosy, the kitchen is well equipped and we really enjoyed the terrace with the small garden - and the singing birds. Nice side effect: the great bookshop right next door in Church Street. We would love to come back.

Nice property for the fit and able. Sadly no parking close to the property and getting the car close to the property was still a long walk back and forth with luggage while parked on the main pedestrian road thought the town. Property living room was very small and not great for comfort.

We had a very nice stay at the house. The location is great, a quiet corner just off the main attractions. Close for everything, railway/bus station, shopping and restaurants. In particular the small garden is a plus on sunny days. The house was very well cleaned when we arrived. Definitely not suitable for wheelchair or small kids, but more spacioRead moreus than we expected from the pictures. There is no dishwasher but otherwise well equipped, incl iron and a ironing board and a good collection of DVDs and books. At the same time there was enough space for our luggage, food etc. Hide

We had a wonderful stay at this cosy, well equipped and clean cottage. The location is perfect right near all the local shops, pubs and restaurants. Our dog enjoyed Tate Hill Beach which is so close to the cottage.
