Annabels Cottage

Escape to the gothic Yorkshire town of Whitby for a holiday filled with seafood dinners, beach days and discovering the delights of the town itself – such as the imposing 657AD abbey ruins. Settle into this homely six-person, three-storey townhouse with bright interiors and outdoor seating for dining alfresco.

Walk through the hallway to reach the neutral-toned lounge with two plump contemporary sofas around a coffee table plus an elegant feature fireplace and a TV. After relaxing with your feet up with some music on the Bluetooth speaker cook a special meal for your loved ones in the traditional kitchen with shaker-style cabinets, sparkling surfacetops and a wooden dining table with seating for six.

On the first floor is a bathroom and two bedrooms – a double with an en-suite and a twin room. Climb the cottage-style stairs to reach two more bedrooms – a single and a double.

Outside is a small patio with furniture. The central location of this property means that you’ll have an array of waterfront eateries, shops and pubs on your doorstep (within 0.5 miles).

Start your day with a stroll along the River Esk and relax on the sandy Whitby Beach (0.5 miles). Brave the spooky Dracula experience, delve into the history of the historic boathouse at the RNLI Whitby Museum or hop on a boat for a tour of the coast from the water (all within 0.5 miles).

Climb the famous 199 steps to reach Whitby Abbey and walk through the Whalebone Arch (0.5 miles). Venture into the surrounding North York Moors National Park (1.5 miles) to discover scenic walking trails, secluded beaches and nature reserves.
