    “Many thanks for a fabulous stay in your lovely cottage.”

    The cottage was warm and cosy with everything to hand whether you wanted to eat in or go out for something. It's a lovely walk into Whitby and it's really not as far as you think. We have had a lovely time and would definitely love to return.

The property

An attractive, mid-mews cottage, in a small complex of similar properties set by the banks of the River Esk, one mile from the popular fishing town of Whitby.

This bright and cheerful modern Whitby cottage has been tastefully furnished and decorated to a high standard providing a very comfortable holiday home, with patio doors in the sitting room and an archway leading to a well-equipped kitchen/diner.

Boasting a delightful double bedroom, with access to a balcony overlooking the river, and with the benefit of a large sitting area, this bedroom can be adapted via sliding doors to provide two double bedrooms with a sprung mattress sofa bed.

There is also a single room with a pull-out bed to accommodate two further guests.

The outside balcony affords fine river views offering a lovely place to sit and watch the wildlife on the river, spotting the steam trains passing by, with communal lawned grounds outside leading down to the river, where seals, swans and ducks are regular visitors!

The property also has use of a boat ramp.

Although conveniently located away from the hustle and bustle, Whitby centre is just a short walk from the cottage, great for exploring the quaint cobbled streets, taking strolls on the beaches, or paying a visit to the famous abbey and sampling the many bars and restaurants.

For those of an adventurous disposition, there is the cinder track along the route of the former Whitby to Scarborough Railway to Robin Hoods Bay, a flat six-mile walk with wonderful coastal views and cosy pub stops.

The surrounding area has a wealth of attractions, including the stunning scenery of the North York Moors, tearooms in pretty coastal villages, and trips on the steam train to Pickering stopping in Heartbeat country.

Heron's Reach is a delightful cottage, offering a great base for exploring the scenic splendour of Yorkshire.

About the location

WHITBY

Robin Hood's Bay 5.5 miles; Scarborough 19.3 miles; Pickering 23 miles; Guisborough 21.5 miles.

The seaside town and port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire. Ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire, the local area hosts an abundance of activity so you can be sure to get the best out of both the countryside and the coast. From the nearby North York Moors to its Blue Flag beaches, there's something here for every interest and time of year. Amongst its many attractions, Whitby holds a charming atmosphere, home to winding streets and hidden alleys, where you can find a wide selection of eateries and shops scattered amongst them. Take a trip to the picturesque harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun set, or get involved in some whale watching or a coastal cruise to watch the creatures up close. Climb the famous 199 steps to the Whitby Abbey to immerse yourself with history, or visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum presenting historical and ethnographic exhibition about Cook himself. Hosting an abundance of leisure facilities, opportunities to explore the natural lands, and plenty of coastal delights, Whitby offers something for everyone. Close to the Robin Hood's Bay full of heritage wonders and scenic spots, and in reach of the bustling towns of Scarborough and Middlesbrough, Whitby is a prime location for exploring all of the delights that Yorkshire has to offer.

Note: Due to the proximity of the river, please ensure children are supervised at all times.
