Our second stay in this lovely cottage. Beautifully presented in a great location, with shops and bars right on the doorstep. The Abbey views are amazing too! Thanks for having us.

Rose and Crown Yard is a fantastic location right in the middle of Whitby yet very peaceful. The cottage is well equipped with great views of the abbey and rooftops of Whitby. Parking wasn’t a problem with close by dropping off point and parking pass. Long term parking a short distance away. Whitby has lots to offer and is within easy distance if the North Yorkshire Moors. Highly recommend cottage and Whitby.
