About this property

Whitby 1.8 miles. Cha Cha's Cottage is a contemporary end-terrace cottage, situated in a small development on the banks of the River Esk, close to the seaside town of Whitby, North Yorkshire. This property is an ideal base and perfect for families and groups of up to six guests wanting to explore the North York Moors and seaside resorts, with the added advantage of a communal indoor swimming pool. This attractive property has an open-plan living area with a well-equipped kitchen, dining area and sitting area. There are three bedrooms, one king-size double and one twin together with a family bathroom on the first floor and one twin bedroom and cloakroom on the ground floor. Patio doors open from the living area onto a private patio with furniture where you can relax with a refreshing drink whilst planning your next day's activities. Outside this lovely cottage, there is a small private patio and a large, enclosed, communal garden with children's play equipment. The indoor swimming pool is sure to be a big hit with the children and ideal for a rainy day, whilst communal grounds lead down to the river banks and offer fantastic opportunities for watching the local bird and wildlife which can include ducks, herons, otters and occasionally kingfishers! The tidal estuary is also a superb place to spot a seal now and then, and boat trips can be enjoyed for whale-watching. The cottage is ideally situated for cyclists as National Cycle Route 1 covers 21 miles towards Scarborough and the Cinder Track can be also be enjoyed. It is only a short walk to the centre of Whitby where you will find many activities and plenty of pubs, shops and restaurants together with trendy harbour bars set along the narrow cobbled streets. Don't forget to visit Whitby's beach; here, you can soak up amazing coastal sights and unwind on the sand. Relaxing walks can be enjoyed along the sands to Sandsend to the north, along the Cleveland Way and the North York Moors are on the doorstep. The pretty coastal villages of Staithes, Runswick Bay and Robin Hood's Bay are only a short drive. This lovely cottage is ideal for exploring this delightful part of the country.

The ancient fishing port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk and is ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire, with its superb coastline and close proximity to the spectacular North York Moors. Whitby is a charming and atmospheric town of winding streets and hidden alleys, with a picturesque harbour, safe sandy beaches and of course the Abbey, reached by the famous 199 steps.

    On site swimming pool and play area are good for those with children and we walked into Whitby town with three and five year old grandkids (via a very safe footpath for most of the 1.5 miles).

  • Sue

    Spotlessly clean. Excellent facilities on site, especially swimming pool, which the children loved. Pleasant walk into Whitby. Would love a return visit sometime.

  • Linda

    It was spotless and had all the facilities you'd wish for. Main bathroom and a downstairs toilet was a bonus . The welcome pack was a lovely surprise( Thank you ).Captain Cooks Haven is a beautiful location and well maintained. Ideal to walk on the cinder track into Whitby and leave the car behind. We couldn't have wished for a better place to stay. Ticked all the boxes.
