About this property
Situated in an elevated position in the bustling town of Whitby in North Yorkshire is this delightful cottage, The Nook. Ideal for a family and their canine companion, this lovely dwelling offers a family-friendly layout along with a charming garden, perfect for sitting out in the warmer evenings. On arrival at the cottage, take the steps up into the courtyard and step into your home-from-home for the trip. The well-equipped kitchen also offers a handy washing machine where you can clean your sandy clothes and beach towels before taking advantage of the electric oven and gas hob to rustle up a tasty meal for your group. From here, move into the living/dining room to dine as a family while you plan your next adventure, and when it is time to relax, sink into the sofa to watch a film on the TV while the log burner warms the space. When sleep calls, head to the bedrooms for some well-earned rest; the ground floor hosts a bunk room which is suited to both adults and children, along with a double with a sleigh bed and a light and airy décor. Climb the stairs to the first floor where you will find the remaining bedroom, another double, with Velux windows letting in an abundance of light and pretty views over the rooftops of Whitby. In the morning, freshen up in the bathroom where you have the choice of a bath or a shower, before stepping through the patio doors to enjoy your morning coffee in the courtyard. Be sure to explore the area while you're staying at The Nook; the dramatic Whitby Abbey towers over the town and is within easy reach of the cottage. The famous 199 Steps are also within easy reach and well worth the climb to reach the glorious and far-reaching views over the area, or perhaps spend a day at the golden sandy beach before stopping for some fish and chips to enjoy back at the cottage.

Rosalind
Very comfortable and loved the log burner. We were hoovered let down with the state of the oven. So dirty we were unable to cook, resulting in increased costs eating out. Needs a deep clean or even replacing. Otherwise, it's a really nice place.

Everything immaculate on arrival and all aspects exceeded our expectations. The outside patio area was a bonus. Would certainly book again. Highly recommended.

Only grumble would be the comfortableness of the seating in the living area.
