Whitby Sea View Cottage

18th Century Grade 2 listed with sea views from every room. Very quiet location set on The Cragg which retains old Whitby character and doesn't look much different from the exterior of the building to when it was in olden times and this was a fishing port for its living. A double bedroom and a twin bedroom have character beams. All bedding provided. The apartment underwent a complete renovation a couple of years ago while still retaining its character with the old beams on the ceilings.

Double glazing, gas central heating, soundproofing, and insulation. If you want to sleep and only listen to the sound of the sea this is the perfect cottage. Also included free scratch cards for parking so you can park on the front and then take your car to any W zone on that side of Whitby with the nearest location being the Khyber Pass just around the corner. There is a key safe outside the property so the guests can just let themselves in on arrival.
The entrance to the apartment is in the little quaint back alley, The Cragg, which is full of Whitby character from the olden days. The apartment is accessed from the front of the harbour on Pier Road via a flight of stone steps. Loading parking bays are available at the foot of the steps. Guests can unload in front of the apartment and watch their car are and then move off using the scratch cards from the apartment to park permanently on any w zone the nearest one is just around the corner the Khyber Pass. Open plan living room, kitchen, and dining area with 32inch Flat Screen T.V. with integral DVD Player, no Wi-Fi. The kitchen is well equipped and has modern integral facilities including a washing machine and dishwasher. The staircase leads up to the first-floor double bedroom and fully tiled bathroom with a shower. The attic twin bedroom (“The Crow’s Nest”) has character beams, again beautiful views down into the bustling harbour. If you are looking for an apartment that is quiet with glorious iconic views you can do no better! The cottage is strictly No Smoking and sorry no pets.
The cottage features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and a dining table.

Brilliant short family stay

We stayed for two nights with our two children to explore Whitby. The cottage is fantastic! Really nicely furnished and well equipped and lovely to look out over the harbour and across to the abbey. The location is brilliant, right by the harbourside but still feels nice and peaceful in the cottage.

Great little place with a view!

Perfect location! The only comfortable bed and pillows in all of Scotland and England so far! Only one complaint, half a roll of TP for 4 people. Did not want to have to stick around for housekeeper to come so bought some ourselves. Overall would stay again, lovely place!

Grossly disappointed

We arrived in the town at 1:30 as we was to receive the keycode at 2. When we did not receive the key code we tried to contact Stayz but could not get through. We rang the number for the agent we was given 14 times, each time the telco said we dialled a wrong number try again. We went and found the cottage only to discover the cottage had a different name. There was an email address for the owner on the door so we sent them an email but no reply. It was by now getting dark it was raining and bitterly cold. The few business that were open being Christmas eve were starting to close. It was now well after 4 pm so we decided we had better try and find a hotel. After searching around Whitby in north Yorkshire in very inclement weather we found a hotel on top of the hill. After booking in paying for two nights instead of the three we had paid for through Stayz, gratefully retired to bed. At 8:37 pm, 5 hours 37 mins late we was woken by a txt from the agent with the key code.

Very good space, and a very enjoyable stay. Central location that, although noisy and congested with Sunday visitors on arrival, and having to get over being above amusement arcades, was remarkably quiet and relaxing overnight. Don’t come if you have difficulty with steps as you have a lot to climb inside and outside when you can’t park alongside the property.
