Mallard Whitby

Let the steam trains rumble past this charming railway cottage, a perfect destination to stay on the edge of Whitby's town centre. Far enough away to enjoy a quiet, peaceful night’s sleep, yet close enough to be within walking distance of the beach (1 mile), this property promises to tick all kinds of boxes for holidaymaking groups.

A home-from-home filled with welcoming features, the reverse-level property sleeps four guests. You can look forward to memory-making mornings and evenings together in between days of Yorkshire adventure, exploring the coastline and the vast North York Moors that stretch out behind the town.

Oak floorboards, white walls, and clean, simple decor add to the bright, airy vibe of this two-storey house. The ground floor houses the property’s bedrooms and a refreshing shower room with a sleek walk-in shower.

The bedrooms are laid out as a spacious double and a twin, perfect for restful nights. Upstairs, an open-plan living space with a lounge, kitchen, and dining area provides everything you need for resting and recharging.

Switch on the Smart TV and choose a show on Sky or Netflix, gently drifting off after a long day of adventure. Back downstairs, exit via the master bedroom to reach a patio space with views of Whitby Abbey in the distance.

There’s a private parking space for one car. The Abbey is one such attraction you must see while staying here – take the 199 Steps (1 mile) up to it and admire the far-reaching views from the top.

You’ve got a choice of two sandy beaches to enjoy when the sun shines, and the town boasts some of the best fish and chips in Yorkshire when it’s time to refuel. For walking and cycling, the Cleveland Way offers a long-distance route along the coastline, while the Cinder Track provides an easy-to-follow cycle path leading all the way to Scarborough (18 miles).
