6 people plus 1 VIP (very important pup) can stay at this traditional house in central Whitby with accommodation that includes four versatile bedrooms over three storeys. Equally suited to an extended family, or family and friends, this spacious cottage-style property offers comfortable living with loads of characterful and quirky nautical touches throughout. The historic town centre is within 0.5 miles, just waiting to be discovered. But the best bit for any canine chum is surely the beach which is within 1 mile, perfect for extra-long walkies!
This attractive and family-friendly townhouse welcomes you into a generous open-plan lounge/diner on the ground floor. This lovely room has a beamed ceiling, an ornamental fireplace and original doors, with sofas, a dining table for six and a well-equipped kitchen. Sleeping quarters comprise one double leading onto a bedroom with bunk beds, which are both on the lower ground level, accessed via cottage-style stairs. On the first floor, again accessed via cottage-style stairs, there’s another charming double and a triple bedroom with three single beds; both bedrooms are in the eaves with rustic beams and wood panelling. Access to the shared patio and garden with bench seating is from the lower-ground double bedroom.
There’s a lot to explore in Whitby with its old streets packed with fishing heritage, history and independent shops and eateries. Plus, of course, there are the beaches where you and your furry friend can have a ball together, like sheltered West Cliff Beach which is dog-friendly all year. Climb the 199 Steps up to Whitby Abbey ruins for views and an atmospheric vibe. Watch the ebb and flow of life at the bustling harbour and learn more about Captain Cook. Take the night off self-catering with fish and chips or a seafood feast.
