Quaint and refined, this deceptively large holiday home is located just moments from the heart of Whitby. Back in the 1800s it was home to a famous businessman, and this the seaside cottage has retained its historic elegance. And, with fantastic views of the harbour, it is the ideal backdrop for a family trip to the seaside. You'll love getting cosy in the rustic living room, with its brick fireplace and original exposed beams, and cooking up some delicious local seafood in the kitchen. Only a few minutes' walk from all the local attractions, it’s easy to pop in and out of the home between adventures to the beach. Indulge in fish and chips by the harbour, lose yourself in the local Dracula myths or head inland to admire the dramatic North Yorkshire landscapes – it's all right on your doorstep.

About Whitby
Famously the setting of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, there’s something hauntingly beautiful about Whitby. The ruins of Whitby Abbey, set atop a windy hill overlooking the town, are just like a scene from a gothic novel. When the sun sets, ghost tours amble through the cobbled streets, revealing the town’s dramatic history. By day it’s all idyllic fishing village vibes, with a hint of Victorian holidays. Colourful cottages that have seen...
