Cute and cosy, this cottage is a delightful spot for a bit of seaside relaxation in Whitby. It’s a three-minute drive to the centre of town, where fish and chips on the pier, a long stretch of sandy beach and a hodge-podge of gothic alleyways and streets await. The harbourfront is within walking distance if you prefer to stretch your legs. Although the home itself is modern, there’s something slightly gothic about the interior, in keeping with Whitby’s haunting vibe. Perhaps it’s the midnight-blue walls in the living area or silver gilded mirrors. There’s plenty of room to cook in the full kitchen, and on sunny summer evenings, you can dine outside in the private garden. Both bedrooms are cosy nooks, and the windows in the master open up to a Juliet balcony overlooking the quiet neighbourhood.
