Description

Welcome to White Yard Cottage, a charming, family run, dog friendly cottage with a garden in the heart of Whitby. From the entrance, you walk through a lovely small courtyard area, after which the property is named, with seating and on into the cottage which oozes old world charm and period features from every room. The lounge has a very warm and cosy feel with its chesterfield sofa and wing backed chairs to relax in and exposed brick chimney breast.  The pretty country kitchen/diner overlooking the garden is very well equipped and bathed in light from the large window overlooking the garden. All the bedrooms are very light and airy and there is a spacious bathroom with a roll top bath to relax and refresh tired limbs after exploring the local area.

Whether you are a couple wanting a romantic getaway, a family seeking a fun-filled holiday or walks with your dog, this delightful cottage has a lot to offer. It is a wonderful base to explore this lovely part of the world and Whitby is a very popular seaside town, retaining old world character with lots of events throughout the year. Whatever your interests, there is something for everyone in the locality, historic castles, even older abbeys, museums, farms, walking, cycling, superb local markets with the very best Yorkshire produce and of course restaurants and tea rooms too numerous to mention.

White Yard Cottage makes a lovely place to stay and enjoy a break with a beautiful and secluded rear garden, a charming space to relax maybe catch up on some reading or just soak up the sun as this property is bathed in sunshine for most of the day. And if the clouds roll over, you can retire to the gorgeous summer house.

Reviews

Absolutely idyllic and utterly charming accommodation. Ideally situated to near all the wonderful sights of Whitby. The kindest and most gracious hosts. Spotless with everything you could possibly need. Could not recommend more. We will definitely be booking again.

Mrs N,

Fantastic cottage. Fantastic location. Fantastic hosts. So clean, with such a thoughtful well equipped kitchen. (The range of dog bowls alone provided was amazing.) Gorgeous bath, comfortable bed. The best welcome pack I think we have experienced, dog treats included. Lovely garden, even in September it was a little sun trap. Vinnie our dachshund particularly enjoyed squirrel watching. Hoping to return in the new year. Thanks so much, a perfect stay.

Ms K,

This is our 2nd visit to the cottage it fits our needs perfectly. Great for our two labs as the garden is secure & it is only a ten minute walk to the beach or to town. We were lucky to get parked right outside the cottage but we knew this maybe hit & miss but you can always move the car if needed once a space is there. We have already booked again for next June & Carol is brilliant & so helpful.

Mr K,

Lovely cottage absolutely spotless

Miss W,

Beautifully decorated / furnished cottage in an excellent location only a short stroll to Whitby town centre and harbour. Ideal location for exploring further afield.

Mr K,

Beautiful and confortable and really well furnished and equipped. If staying in Whitby again we wouldn’t bother to look for alternatives.

Mr R,

Everything you need, spotless, lovely enclosed garden for dogs, will go again.

Mrs S,

Great cottage great location. Garden is lovely and sucure for the dogs. Parking could be an issue as it is street parking so not guaranteed a parking spot but we never had any issues. Would definitely recommend and we have already booked again for next year. The owner was really helpful and very approachable she was very welcoming.

Mr K,

Mrs S,

Mr N,

Location

Whitby
Whitby is a popular choice for visitors all year round. It is well known for its long sandy beach and delicious seafood. The river Esk flows through the town to the sea and cottages are perched on the hills on each side, with cobbled streets and historic yards providing a maze of places to explore. The town has a fantastic mix of modern shops and services, traditional stores and boutique shops. Whitby jet continues to be made into beautiful jewellery and sold in a number of shops.  There are plenty of excellent restaurants which serve local fish and seafood, as well as a wonderful choice of cafes and tearooms.

The ruins of Whitby Abbey stand dominantly on the clifftop and can be reached by climbing the 199 steps from the old town. The Abbey is said to have been the inspiration for Bram Stoker's novel Count Dracula, and its gothic splendour is the perfect place from which to take in some truly stunning views over the town, harbour and coastline. Whitby harbour is steeped in history and visitors can see where British explorer Captain James Cook first worked as an apprentice before setting sail and discovering Australia. A statue of this great explorer stands proudly above the town, along with some huge whalebones, a sign of the town's maritime history. The harbour is a buzz of activity and you can enjoy early mornings watching the fishing boats come ashore before getting first choice of their catch of the day.

There's always something happening throughout the town, with festivals and fairs are held throughout the year. These include Whitby Folk Week and the Whitby Regatta, and there are two popular Goth festivals each year. For more information on Whitby and the surrounding area and local events see our Yorkshire Coast Guide.
