About this property
Captain Jacks is a welcoming three-storey house resting in Whitby, North Yorkshire. This pet-friendly abode features proximity to the beach, the River Esk and North York Moors National Park, making it a convenient base for family and friends seeking a coastal escape with plenty to do in the surrounding area. Take in the coastal air as you make your way from the train station or roadside parking to the exterior of the property. Enter the hallway and shed your shoes and coats. Enter into the bright and spacious sitting area with two sofas and an armchair to sink into after a day exploring North Yorkshire.
The room is filled with natural light, a rug, plants and artwork, adding a homely touch, and a mounted TV for entertainment in the evening. Head to the kitchen and store your favourite treats in the fridge/freezer, then warm up the hob, and let the chef of the group create a mouthwatering dish. Once delicious aromas fill the air, pull out a chair in the dining area and tuck in. After dinner, why not challenge each other to a game of darts or try to beat the high score on the arcade machine? There is a cloakroom situated on the ground-floor for an additional space to freshen up.
Ascend the first set of stairs to find the family bathroom, with a bath to soak in after long walks in the North York Moors National Park, or rinse away the sea salt from your sink in the walk-in shower. When it is time for bed, you can choose from a single, a double, or two king-size bedrooms. In the morning, familiarise yourself with the area, with the River Esk just a short stroll away. Slap on your sunscreen and take a walk to Whitby Beach, feel the sand beneath your feet, soak in the coastal views and indulge in some ice cream.
Lace up your hiking boots and head into the North York Moors National Park, where stunning vistas unfold in every direction, a heritage steam train invites you to hop aboard for a memorable ride through the valleys, and gentle trails offer endless opportunities to take in the countryside at your own pace. For a dose of history, wander through the Captain Cook Memorial Museum where exhibitions bring Cook’s voyages to life, with original letters and sketches offering a glimpse into his journeys across the South Pacific. Climb the 199 steps that lead up to Whitby Abbey, its gothic ruins perched high above the town, offering sweeping views of the harbour and the rugged coastline beyond.
After a day packed with exploration return to Captain Jacks and unwind.
The seaside town and port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire. Ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire, the local area hosts an array of activities so you can be sure to get the best out of both the countryside and the coast. From the nearby North York Moors to its Blue Flag beaches, there's something here for everyone. Amongst its many attractions, Whitby holds a charming atmosphere, home to winding streets and hidden alleys, where you can find a wide selection of eateries and shops scattered amongst them. Take a trip to the picturesque harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun set or get involved in some whale watching or a coastal cruise to watch the creatures up close. Climb the famous 199 steps to the Whitby Abbey to immerse yourself with history, or visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum presenting historical and ethnographic exhibition about Cook himself. Close to the Robin Hood's Bay, rich in heritage, wonders and scenic spots, and in easy reach of the bustling towns of Scarborough and Middlesbrough, Whitby is a prime location for exploring all of the delights that Yorkshire has to offer.
