Surround yourself with elegance and charm in this cosy Grade II-listed cottage sitting in a small passageway in the heart of Whitby. Sleeping four people over two bedrooms and welcoming two canine companions, it’s the ideal hideaway for small groups of friends who appreciate a little authentic character when they travel. Spend your days strolling along the dog-friendly beach at Tate Hill Sands with your pups by your side, and your evenings sipping a glass of wine by the glow of the flame-effect electric fire in the lounge of this 18th-century cottage.
Step inside and you’ll be greeted by a smart kitchen where you’ll find everything you need to cook up a storm for your loved ones. Rustle up some dinner and get the whole gang together to eat at the dining table. Afterwards, head to the lovely lounge on the first floor to chill out in front of the TV. Switch on the flame-effect electric fire and watch your pups happily doze in its glow. When it’s time for bed, you’ll find a quaint twin bedroom on the second floor and a welcoming double on the third floor. Sleep in the twin and you’ll wake up to beautiful harbour views. Spend the night in the double and you’ll be treated to wonderful views of the abbey in the morning.
Grab the dog leads and spend some time climbing the 199 steps to reach the ruins of Whitby Abbey (0.5 miles). Your pups will love the exercise and you’ll adore the gorgeous views. Alternatively, head to the historic harbour (200 metres) to take some time out to stop and watch the world go by – the harbour is always a hive of activity. Or head to Tate Hill Sands (0.5 miles) to let your dogs enjoy a run.
