Hunker down in this bright and homely former fisherman’s cottage in Whitby’s charming Old Town on the east of the River Esk. Spend your time away swimming in the sea with Fido, discovering the local historical landmarks and treating yourself to meals out at canine-welcoming restaurants. In the evenings, relax in the sheltered and enclosed garden or in the cheerful lounge with splashes of bold colours throughout.
Step inside to find an airy lounge/diner with neutral-tone walls where you can kick back on the plump sofas and armchair while your loyal companion curls up on the rug in front of the wood burner. Continue into the stylish kitchen with a farmhouse-style ‘L’-shaped kitted unit, a pretty feature wall with patterned wallpaper and a convenient washing machine. The first floor contains a family bathroom, a separate WC and two double bedrooms. Outside is an enclosed patio with furniture.
During your stay, you’ll be in the heart of Whitby’s Old Town surrounded by cobbled streets backing onto the 199 Steps which lead up the imposing Whitby Abbey (0.5 miles). Explore the array of seafood restaurants, quirky independent shops and cosy cafes on this side of the river (within 0.5 miles) or head over the bridge to reach the centre of Whitby (0.5 miles). Stroll along the sandy shores of Whitby Beach (0.5 miles) all the way to Sandsend Beach (2.5 miles). Take a picnic to Pannett Park (0.5 miles) or visit the nearby Little Beck Wood nature reserve (5 miles).
