Amazing location overlooking Whitby, loved sitting on the balcony and watching all the activity on the water and looking across to the Abbey. Well equipped kitchen and good facilities.

This is a gorgeous cottage with incredible views. The lay out of 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms created lots of space. The 2 reception rooms again gave our family lots of space for the whole week. The kitchen was really well equipped, bathrooms are fitted to a high standard. We had a really good week and would recommend this cottage to families with school age children up
