Property code: OC-W089

A generous holiday home at the heart of vibrant Whitby, this Yorkshire property could be perfect for a larger family or two families together. Sleeping eight guests, the four-bedroom abode is perfectly placed for making the most of everything the town has to offer. It is less than 0.5 miles from the main beach, with its sandy expanses where you can picnic, paddle and swim. Stroll out from your base to shop for provisions, dine out or visit historic sights and attractions too. You are also about 0.5 miles from the old town’s famous 199 steps, up which you can climb to the headland where the ruins of Whitby Abbey are situated, famously mentioned in Bram Stoker’s horror novel Dracula.

Make your way into the three-storey cottage via the hall, where you can leave your shoes and hang your coats, and where the family bathroom is situated. Take a few steps up to a king-size bedroom, with doors on to a courtyard garden and an en-suite shower room. A double bedroom and a bunk bedroom, with full-size bunks, are also here. Climb the stairs to the first floor, where the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is positioned. Take turns at preparing meals in here, dine at the table and open the French doors on to the decked patio on fine days to sit outside at the table and chairs. More stairs lead up to the second floor, where there is a king-size bedroom, with en-suite shower room.

Enjoy the fresh air out in the courtyard garden or out on the balcony as often as possible during your stay. Dine outside or simply relax and chat together with a hot or cold drink after your fun group excursions.

The cottage was perfect for our adult family group of six - really comfortable, great layout and decor, and having one bathroom per couple was ideal. Location was great too. Only problem was that we couldn't park our small car in the drive, because of a huge car next door as well as cars parked opposite the driveway. We did find alternative parkingRead more elsewhere, so it wasn't a big problem, just an unexpected start to the holiday. Everything else was great - comfortable, quiet, well-equipped, and easy to walk into town - we'd definitely come back! Hide

I have been to a few of your cottages; all very nice and as described on the website, though a few of the places you could tell hadnt been used/cleaned in a while (dust, cobwebs). When I have needed to speak to office staff (mainly regarding parking permits), they have always been friendly, polite, professional, and happy to help. Pretty much everyRead morething you need is at the cottages, though a few basic items you may need to bring with or buy while there (ie: bin bags, extra loo roll, kitchen roll). Overall, very happy with where I have stayed with Original Cottages, and I look forward to the time Hide

The cottage provided everything we needed, was very clean upon arrival, and is in a good location. There were a couple of issues reported but were attended to the next day. Nothing serious. Information supplied from booking to departure provided everything required. Perfect communication.

Lovely, comfortable, well equipped property in a great location. Only a couple of minutes walk from the shops, pubs and harbour area in one direction and beach the other way. Layout over three floors was perfect for us. Car parking space was a bonus, but if you have a larger car you might not fit. Our Fiat 500 was tight!! Free parking provided at aRead more car park 3 mins walk away though. Small car park right next door OK for quick loading / unloading. Hide
