Property code: OC-W724

Enjoy a classic seaside holiday alongside friends, family and your canine companion at this well-presented bungalow in the heart of historic Whitby. Spend your days on gorgeous sandy beaches or roaming spectacular cliff-top paths before heading home to enjoy this welcoming town’s renowned hospitality.

This newly built dormer bungalow is finished to a high standard throughout and comes complete with everything you need for a fantastic stay in coastal Yorkshire. The open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner is the sociable hub of the house, with comfortable sofas and a well-equipped kitchen that will make meal times a breeze. Outside, the sun-trap patio is the perfect spot for your morning coffee or evening sun-downer whilst Rover sniffs around the borders. The spacious bathroom and the first of the double bedrooms can be found on the ground floor. Upstairs, a cloakroom and two further bedrooms await, tucked romantically under the sloping eaves of the roof. When it comes time to rest weary heads, plush beds accented by seaside blues will be an inviting sight after an action-packed day of adventure.

With its atmospheric abbey that inspired Bram Stoker''s Count Dracula, pretty cobbled streets and huge sandy beaches alongside a traditional working harbour, it’s easy to see why Whitby has been a popular seaside resort since Victorian times. Whitby Beach lies 450 metres from your door, where a seasonal dog restriction is in place from the beginning of May until the end of September. Head to the town''s fabulous Tate Hill Beach (800 metres) for year-round unrestricted fun with furry friends. There are many dog-friendly cafes and pubs in Whitby that Fido is sure to be keen to investigate too! Join the Cleveland Way, which runs through the town, and head out towards stunning cliff-top walkies certain to get tails wagging or climb the 199 steps to the abbey and take in panoramic views of the town and coastline below.

This is the third or fourth time my family and I have stayed at the The Old Stables and every single one of them has been perfect. A very conveniently located property in the centre of Whitby with parking and ideal for 6 people. I'm sure it wont be the last time we stay here.

Nice little cottage in the centre of Whitby. Lovely bathrooms and bedrooms - shower is awesome after a chilly day; the living area and kitchen are a bit cramped but cosy - 6 people would not fit comfortably - was ok for us. No garden and a request to strip the beds after charging premium prices didnt sit well on our leaving day.

This chalet bungalow needs a little TLC to make it more comfortable. Not over dog friendly. Dogs not allowed on leather settees or bedrooms. No secure outside space to let dog exercise. Would not bring dog to this property again. Excellent location for all amenities and the parking is a real bonus.

Lovely cottage, well equipped and comfortable. Great location, pubs, cafes and restaurants all very close by. 5/10 minute walk to the Whale Bones. 10 minute walk to harbour front. Off road parking at cottage a great extra in an area where parking can be very difficult. Would book again.

This property is ideal in its central location, cleanliness and mostly satisfactory equipment and 2 parking spaces. The bedrooms and bathrooms are great. The downstairs is tight, the kitchen/dining/ living area is confined, you have to move the couch to use the dining chairs, move a dining chair to access the dishwasher and there isnt really much sRead morepace to bring in a childs buggy without blocking the narrow hall. There is lots to recommend in this house but l feel the unconventional check out time and instructions re stripping beds etc is a disadvantage especially since there werent any cleaners waiting to enter at 9.30. I would recommend for adults with teenagers rather than younger children. There wasnt an enclosed yard for the dog which l assumed there would be but theres plenty of places to walk a dog. Hide
