Lovely Fishermans Cottage

A delightful fisherman's cottage with a suntrap roof terrace, nestled in a peacfeul corner of Whitby on the burbling banks of the River Esk. This beautifully rustic retreat is the ideal base for small families or groups of friends holidaying with their waggy-tailed companion. Run barefoot along the soft shoreline of Whitby Sands Beach (100 metres) and crash through the waves for an invigorating morning paddle, before tucking into an indulgent breakfast spread on the rooftop patio.

Brimming with character, this homely hideaway features a warm chalet interior. Picture striking timber panelling and antique-style furnishings balanced by clean lines and contemporary soft furnishings. After a day by the sea, slip off sandy shoes and relax in the welcoming lounge. Flop down amongst the plump throw pillows graze through a snack board or throw another log on the roaring wood burner and unwind with a film. Cook up an evening feast in the sleek shaker kitchen and pour a round of pre-dinner drinks on the wooden worktops. Adorn the extending dining table with supper then raise a toast to your special occasion. End the evening with an al fresco nightcap beneath the stars before turning in for the night. Curl up in the soft sheets of the opulent four-poster double bed on the first floor. Ascend the stair to the second floor to discover two airy singles styled with dreamy blue hues and nautical stripes.

Dive into a bag of salty chips and admire fisherman's boats gliding in the harbour (200 metres) or settle in for a more formal dining affair at one of the waterfront seafood restaurants. Feel the salty ocean spray aboard a whale-spotting boat ride (200 metres) or sample a selection of locally crafted beers during a guided tour of the Whitby Brewery (400 metres).
