Beautiful quirky cottage with a seaside theme full all the comforts you will need. One thing to take into account if you have difficulty managing the stairs this cottage is not for you.Owners are wonderful and always there the end of the text should you need them. The little basket of goodies on arrival for both human and dog was very welcomed. Thoroughly recommend this cottage.

Beautiful cottage nicely done out. Lovely view from Kitchen of the Abbey. Everything was in the cottage we needed. Nice Bathroom and cosy attic bedroom. Beds nice and comfy. Just beware in the attic there is a long beam running across the floor so you have to step over this to get onto the bed. The cottage is right in the centre just alongside Sherlocks cafe which does great coffee and scones. We loved our stay here and will return. We would come lighter I e. Small suitcase and buy food in Whitby then if you cannot manage to get a parking spot on flower gate you don't have far to walk with your luggage etc. We parked on Spring Vale about a good 15 min walk which was fine. Thanks to Denise her communication was excellent 👍. We would definitely go back. This cottage is a little gem.
