Summary:
If you’re looking for a comfortable staycation in Whitby, Penny Farthing Cottage could be your perfect match.

Fully equipped, this charming holiday home serves as an ideal gathering place for groups of friends or families seeking to explore the North Yorkshire coast.

The Neighborhood:
Penny Farthing Cottage sits on the West side town where you can discover fun arcades and plenty of fish restaurants! Continue along the lively road until you reach the beautiful, blue flag West Cliff Beach which is lined with idyllic beach huts.

Walk over the swing bridge which sits over the River Esk and you’ll find yourself on the East bank. Walk along Church Street and you’ll wind up at the East bank where you’ll find narrow medieval streets dotted with boutiques, pubs and fish restaurants. Climb the famous 199 steps up to the Church of Saint Mary. You can also discover the renowned ruined Whitby Abbey, which was the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s gothic novel ‘Dracula’.

Step outside of Whitby and you’ll uncover a haven of woodland and moorland. Whitby forms part of the North York Moors National Park so it’s the perfect place for long walks.

Brief Encounter

Lovely cottage property. Everything you could need. Handy central location. Fresh contemporary decor with some traditional details kept.To find the key door was tricky in the dark, address took us to the back with no number.Dusty dressing table in twin room.No charge for winter parking, bonus.

Really lovely!

Really lovely property! Very clean and lovely space. Location is perfect for visiting Whitby, and the street has lovely shops, bar/pubs and breakfast place! Would recommend! The car park near by was also free during certain months (October to March I believe) which is useful to know! Prompt replies from hosts!
