“We had a wonderful stay at Stokers Rest.”

Everything we needed was provided for, the cottage was very well equipped. It was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Stokers Rest is in a excellent location. We would love to stay again.

David August 2024

“We had carefully researched Stoker’s Rest before booking and it certainly fulfilled expectations.”

Clean, warm and welcoming with all the facilities you could need, it was a home from home. We know Whitby well and chose it for its location with views of the the Esk, the Abbey and, of course, the railway just beyond the patio. It was handy too for the train, the buses, the taxis, the shops and just a short walk to the centre of the town along the Esk. We have no hesitation in recommending Stoker’s Rest.

Thank you so much for your kind comments. I am so very happy you had a lovely holiday. I look forward to welcoming you back soon. Property Owner

“Well equipped cottage very clean and comfortable.”

Good location. Didn't use the car while there close to town bus station and railway station

- Annette, June 2024

Thank you Property Owner
John June 2024

“A beautiful cottage that is well situated in Whitby with its own off street parking is a major plus.”

The cottage was immaculate in both it’s cleanliness, presentation and the “goodies” left by the owner which were well thought out and much appreciated. A useful safety addition to the bathroom would be a “grab rail” over the bath which your older clients would appreciate. All in all this accommodation is to be highly recommended.

- John, June 2024

Thank you so much for your feedback. I will be getting a hand rail fitted on my next maintenance day. Hopefully I will see you again on the bookings. Property Owner
Stephen March 2024

“A lovely home from home with everything you need for a successful break.”

The location is ideal for access to Whitby town centre and harbour only a 5 minute walk. We would definitely book this cottage again.

- Stephen, March 2024

Thank you for your feedback. So happy to hear you enjoyed staying at Stokers Rest and will be back Property Owner

“Cottage was great location Offstreet private parking a bonus Loved watching ...”

Cottage was great location Offstreet private parking a bonus Loved watching the trains Very clean on arrival, had everything we needed It was nice and warm throughout We found the settee a little uncomfortable as it’s quite wide, and if you aren’t very tall, your feet, don’t touch the floor The floorboards in the living room Creak terribly did cause quite a bit of disturbance, first thing in the morning or late at night when one of us had gone to bed As the creaking from above was very loud However, I don’t know what can be done about floorboards It’s such a shame that they are like this as otherwise the Cottage would’ve been perfect And thank you for the welcome pack

- Dorothy, October 2023

I am so sorry that you found the settee a little uncomfortable. The footstool can be moved and maybe that would have made it a little more comfortable. I will be looking into the wooden floor in the kitchen and get the problem resolved. Thank you so much for staying at Stokers Rest and I hope you will come back soon. Property Owner

“Toilet upstairs not shutting off after flushing”

- Michael, May 2023

Thank you for your feed back. Sorry to hear the toilet was making a noise, our maintenance team have fixed it and its like a new toilet. If you ever have any problems in the future staying at Stokers Rest please just give us a call and we will send someone out to fix it. Like all holiday lets they are houses and unfortunately these things happen. Property Owner
Susan April 2023

“This is a perfect place to stay for the town of Whitby .”

Lovely location with parking, very close to town centre, easy walk to shops. The owners have thought of everything for a very comfortable stay, above and beyond really. All seems newly furnished, beds comfortable and nice soft bed linen. We loved the steam train that passed by too, easy view from patio garden. There are a few trains pass by , but its not an issue, really quiet location. View of Whitby Abbey from upper windows , really amazing. The only fault was towel rail in cloakroom toilet was not very secure, we just left a note for the caretakers attention. The postcode location takes you there, but the cottage is down the slope drive and parking is alongside cottage, at the bottom, not infront, but easy access, our car never left , we walked everywhere.

- Susan, April 2023

Thank you so much for your feed back I really appreciate you taking the time. The clock room towel rail was fixed straight after your visit. I am so sorry it wasn't fixed before, I am not sure why it wasn't. I think it maybe easily knocked and in the quieter months I will be looking at getting a heated towel rail, so this won't happen again. I look forward to welcoming you back soon. Property Owner
Jonathon April 2023

“We had a wonderful week in Whitby, just before Easter 2023 and our accommodation exceeded expectations.”

Stoker’s Rest is a neat, self-contained end-terrace in what appears to be a block of purpose-built holiday lets, styled as railway cottages. It is modern, well appointed, comfy & warm with the added bonus of a dedicated parking space. Plenty of space for my wife & I and our 2 teenage boys. The 2 bedrooms are downstairs with access to the rear yard, a couple of metres from the railway track and every few hours we were treated to a vintage steam engine drive by, with a backdrop of the bay & church & Abbey skyline. We appreciated the lovely Welcome Basket and found the lounge, diner, kitchen area easy to use and well laid out. It’s a short walk into town for some of the best fish & chips you’ll ever eat! Recommend a walk to Robin Hood’s Bay and trip to Goathland/Beck Hole & waterfall as well as Saltburn & Runswick Bay. Bring sunnies & hat & gloves for your walks as the weather can be changeable (it’s North Yorks, so you know that of course). Thanks for a lovely stay!

- Jonathon, April 2023

Thank you so much for your kind feed back, I am so pleased to hear you had a wonderful time. We look forward to welcoming you all back soon. Property Owner
Martin March 2023

“As stated in the Visitor Book, we have stayed in many properties in Whitby since coming from 2015 onwards, and Stokers Rest rates as one of the best.”

The decor was simple but so relaxing and we had the added bonus of seeing the steam train outside, as well as hearing an owl out the front. The welcome basket was a wonderful additional touch which wasn't in all the properties we have stayed in. The bed was extremely comfortable and in the morning a nice hot shower and a 'proper' coffee, started the day off so well. We hope to be back soon.

- Martin, March 2023

Thank you so much for your positive feed back. So glad you enjoyed the coffee and welcome basket. we look forward to welcoming you back soon. Property Owner

The property

In the heart of Whitby sits this beautiful upside-down cottage, Stoker's Rest.

Stoker's Rest is an excellent home base for families and couples wishing to make the most of the Yorkshire coastline since it provides easy access to Whitby's attractions, including the magnificent beach less than half a mile away.

Before ascending to the open-plan living area, enter the spacious reception hall where you can leave your jackets and boots.

Bright and airy, this space allows you to socialise as a group.

You can gather on the sofa to stay warm by the electric fireplace, or you can sit at the dining room table while the group's chef takes charge of the kitchen.

The kitchen comes equipped with everything you need, including a washer and dryer, so no need to bring your entire wardrobe.

King-size and twin bedrooms are located below and are both neutrally decorated and have access to the bathroom with a choice of a bath and a shower over.

There is a little patio space outside with a picnic bench that is perfect for outdoor picnics.

Take the short stroll over to Whitby, a gorgeous sandy expanse from which you access West Pier and see the beautiful lighthouse, when you're ready to explore.

Whitby makes a great holiday location.

Visit the amazing Whitby Abbey, learn about the city's lengthy history at Whitby Museum, climb the fabled 199 steps, or go along The Cinder Track.

If your wanderings take you farther out, visit Robin Hood's Bay, where you can discover a beautiful beach, a variety of cafés, and the well-known Robin Hood's Bay Museum.

While resting at Stoker's Rest, there's plenty to look forward to.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £500.
