Nestled on the North Yorkshire coast, Whitby has dazzled tourists, inspired writers, and filled the belly of seafood lovers for hundreds of years. The quaint seaside town still has a thriving fishing community, and its links to the icy North Sea make it an amazing place to head on a whale-watching tour with your dog.
From classic nautical cottages to large, luxurious properties, the best way to experience the old charm of the area is with one of our gorgeous homes.
Pet-friendly Holidays in Whitby
Whitby is a hotbed of scenic beauty, historic interest and thriving coastal culture. You'll find gothic monuments like Whitby Abbey towering over the town, as well as stories of Bram Stoker, who set Dracula amongst the sleepy cobblestone streets.
If you're looking for a picturesque walk, you can't go wrong with one of Whitby's many pristine beaches. Tate Hill Beach is a favourite among dog lovers and its proximity to the harbour makes it an ideal spot to stop off and let your pooch run around after a day around town. Maybe you'll even find some of the precious stone, 'Whitby Jet'.
Boat tours also operate from the beaches, many of which are dog-friendly, and the idyllic nearby seaside village of Staithes is just 10 miles away for more sandy excursions.
As well as the usual attractions of a quintessential British seaside town, you'll also find some quirky events and establishments, like the annual Whitby goth weekend music festival, and a bakery dedicated to dogs! Fuzzy Dog Bakery makes locally sourced artisan dog biscuits to really treat your furry pal.
