About this property
Whitby 1 mile. A splendid, end-terrace mews cottage, in a small, modern development situated just one mile from Whitby. Set in an elevated position above the River Esk, this attractive Whitby cottage has a bright and airy sitting room and a well-equipped kitchen with dining area, with lovely views over open countryside and the viaduct. Upstairs in this Whitby cottage, there are three charming bedrooms, one with a balcony providing an ideal place to relax and spot the steam trains going by, or watch the wildlife on the river! Outside, well-kept, communal lawned grounds surround this Whitby cottage, whilst French doors from the kitchen open onto a private, decked patio. Tastefully furnished to a high standard, this Whitby cottage offers very comfortable accommodation in a peaceful setting, yet is only a short walk into Whitby, with its long sandy beaches, narrow cobbled streets and excellent restaurants, tea rooms and pubs. Climb the 199 steps up to the historic abbey, meander down to the pretty harbour or take a trip on the steam railway. Surrounded by the stunning scenery of the North York Moors and pretty coastal and inland villages, this beautiful area has a wealth of attractions, making this Whitby cottage a wonderful base all year round.
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 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.

We enjoy it's quiet location and setting under the rail viaduct which gives a pleasing walk along the cinder track into Whitby. The property is always warm and welcoming. Thanks again

Welcoming touch with tea, coffee, sugar, milk and biscuits provided. Plenty of storage space provided for food, and everything we needed utensil wise. Kitchen roll and tin foil would be a welcome addition but it didn't detract from how well supplied the kitchen was. Clothes storage space was also good in all the bedrooms with plenty of well-placed sockets. Parking was a bit of an issue over the first weekend with some properties having guests with more than one car but we managed to park just a little further down the hill, opposite the swimming pool centre. We would happily consider returning for another stay.

The balcony outside the bedroom was great to sit out on a morning.
