No smoking. . This Victorian terraced town house was built when Whitby became a highly fashionable spa resort. Abbeydale Town House, has been renovated to a very good standard retaining many of its original features. Whitby is known for its quirkiness and its many little alleyways and ginnels that take you down to the seafront. A busy working harbour awaits with a small vibrant fishing fleet that bring in their catch on a daily basis. Just around the corner from the harbour there’s a large sandy beach, great for all ages with donkey rides, sandcastles and rock pools. Perched on the hilltop is Whitby Abbey, famous for many reasons but one is the fact that it has 199 steps from the old town to the abbey. The Cleveland Way passes through Whitby as it follows the coastline down to Filey. It’s a stunning walk along the rugged clifftops and down into the small coves. For those who like a more leisurely stroll there’s the Cinder Path which is the old railway that goes from Whitby to Scarborough, over 20 miles of flat walking. The resorts of Robin Hood’s Bay, Sandsend, Staithes and Scarborough are all a short drive away. Abbeydale is a great base to visit the east coast, the North York Moors and the Wolds. Beach 500 yards. Shop 300 yards, pub and restaurant 400 yards.

There are two many issues to go over it was the worst place I have ever stayed, the only plus point was that cottages.com team were amazing and did their best to help and the maintenance man Elliott was a credit to them absolute top draw I would recommend cottages.com all day but the property was a disgrace

Lovely spot and well equiped property. The only couple of downsides were that the promised parking scratch cards were not there but the local office dropped onw off very quickly and the advertised outdoor seating area is non existant!

Perfect location for a seaside getaway. It felt like home from home with everything that we could possibly need included. Lovely touch leaving crabbing net and beach things for the children and also DVDs to use on that one rainy day that kept us indoors!
