Whitby in North Yorkshire remains one of the regions most popular tourist hotspots, and with good reason. The town is at the mouth of the River Esk, and this old fishing port retains mush character in its winding streets and hidden alleys. There is a picturesque harbour, sandy beach and the famous Whitby Abbey. Close to other seaside destinations such as Scarborough, Staithes and Robin Hood's Bay, Whitby is also ideally placed for heading inland and exploring the beautiful countryside of the North York Moors National Park.

It is very well located for everything you would like to do in Whitby. The parking is a bonus and not too far to walk to (even when recuperating like me!). Our son-in-law and grand-daughter joined us for our last night and our grand-daughter loved the small bedroom. The kitchen has everything you need and the living room is comfortable. The new decking area is absolutely great and we even managed to sit out on it a couple of times - even though it is March. It will be lovely for people in summer. (We did put the rubbish bags out for the bin people mid week, but we weren't sure which bin they were emptying - turned out to be recycling - so apologies as we should not have put out the blue bag.)

This is one of our favourite places we have stayed in, in Whitby, it's so handy for everything, we dont like using the car too much on our holidays and like walking, this place was made for that. the parking space provided is only a short walk away and the gentleman who owns the front drive we parked on was very helpful and he kept an eye on our car. Great dog friendly pub down the road and our dog loved the cottage as it was so warm & cosy. We will definately be back!

On the hill just a 10minute walk up to the Abbey and a 5minute walk down into town. Not easy on the knees.... but it's worth it, views over the harbour are great. The house is very well equipped but the sofa isn't comfortable and is torn and patched up. We had an issue with the cleanliness but addressed it directly to the owner and the cleaner. Sadly she has to clean 3 houses in 5 hours- not an easy task. In need of a deep clean and painting. That said, we had a great time and would return to the position and the off road parking.
