With its prime location in the heart of Whitby, this bright cottage is the perfect seaside getaway. A muted palette and an inviting fireplace create a welcoming first impression in the living room, while the large farmhouse-style kitchen dazzles with its glossy white tiles and cosy under-stair dining nook. Open up the door here to exit out into a private plant-filled garden, where a dining set beckons to be gathered around for sunny breakfasts and starlit dinners. Upstairs, two comfortable bedrooms with a subtle nautical decor wait to be curled up into after a day of fresh air and outdoor exploring. Speaking of things to do, you’ve got plenty within easy reach. Grab your bathing suit and towel for an afternoon at Whitby Beach (a ten-minute walk away), or climb the famous 199 Steps for sweeping views over the harbour (fifteen minutes away on foot). With regular whale watching tours, surf schools and countless fish and chip restaurants on your doorstep, this home lets you experience the best of Whitby in comfort and blissful relaxation.

About Whitby
Famously the setting of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, there’s something hauntingly beautiful about Whitby. The ruins of Whitby Abbey, set atop a windy hill overlooking the town, are just like a scene from a gothic novel. When the sun sets, ghost tours amble through the cobbled streets, revealing the town’s dramatic history. By day it’s all idyllic fishing village vibes, with a hint of Victorian holidays.
