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.

Wes nice to meet Beryl and John on our arrival. We had quite a damp week in February, and it was lovely and warm to come back to at the end of a day exploring. Thank you too for the treats!

The fact I could park the car and walk into town was great with a nice cottage to come back too. I would book Mallard cottage again.

(we only stayed 3 nights) All appliances looked brand new, they were spotlessly clean. There was only 2 of us but it could easily accommodate 4. Lovely to have tea, coffee, biscuits, sweets and even a small bottle of milk (which we didnât use thinking weâd need to bring out own) Patio area was lovely and wouldâve loved to use the bbq if the weather had been warmer. Log burner was a great touch, but the central heating kept the cottage cosy enough for us. Location was great as it was a pleasant walk into Whitby taking about 15 minutes. We would return at a later date and would definitely recommend to family and friends.
