Whitby also has a sea faring history being the home of Captain Cook which there is a Captain Cook museum in which you can discover more about the legendary sea farer. At high season there is August Whitby Regatta when you can see some amazing ships and boats. At the life boat museum you can find about the various daring rescues performed by the Whitby lifeguards over the many years.

A lovely place to spend Christmas, fully equipped to be able to cook a traditional dinner. The cottage is very warm, we had no need to use the wood burner, which I was disappointed about The cottage is ideally placed within reach of amenities. We visited the Abbey, church and the centre of Whitby on Xmas Eve & travelled into Sandsend on Boxing Day for a bracing walk on the beach.

A great location and very cosy cottage. It is close to the town of Whitby. We did not expect to be in the middle of heavy snow and high winds, but we could see the dramatic weather changes in a warm and safe place. Our comfort zones were truly tested in a very positive way! Our host was very helpful and understanding. We definitely need to come again!

Wildgoose Cottage. Paradise in a bottle.

On our short trips in England and Wales, we again decided to travel to Whitby, to the paradise in a bottle. The weather was 30degs, constant, the sun was strong and shining on us, the sound of rushing tide coming in and out, clearly this was heaven!We had a short walk to Whitby to mingle with the bustling crowd and the cobble stones that takes me back to my childhood home. The cottage is a lovely little homely one. It has one bed that fits the bill. The stargazing ones among you, will be flabbergasted at the amount of dark sky,with celestial objects sighted, up above, when the sun goes down.Don’t forget to bring your binoculars or telescope. There is no wifi at the cottage and that is a bit of problem at times. It would be nice to go and have it and decide whether you need it or not.That choice should be yours, it should have it. If you don’t want to share the wild West nightlife in Whitby you can stay in the cottage. The problem here is the tv set was born in the 20th century and as such has its own little plan for you to get annoyed to. What it needs is a nice big modern tv on a proper adjustible wall stand. That would cost no more than 300. (See Richer Sounds)All in all a wonderful little cottage, we will return, if the thing isn’t booked up. ! DB.
