Cottage in the centre of Whitby - beautiful coastal and Abbey views

Penrith House is a former fisherman's cottage and it situated in Cliff Street, one of the oldest and most historic streets in Whitby. The cottage has lovely views to the Abbey and sea, and easily sleeps up to six people. Cliff Street is in the heart of Whitby and in an excellent location, a stone's throw from the pier, beach and quayside. This makes a fantastic holiday home base for exploring Whitby, the North Yorkshire Moors National Park and is ideal for families and couples alike.

Well behaved pets are also very welcome and there is a wonderful choice of scenic walks and beaches for them to explore closeby. The cottage is also superbly equipped for families and there are many exciting attractions to visit closeby such as the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, The Bram Stoker Dracula Experience and Whitby Whale Watching.

Cosy cottage in fabulous location
I loved this cottage- right in the heart of Whitby old town- just 10 minutes walk from the harbour and beach. The street was very quiet yet just minutes from shops and cafes. Best bit was daily dog walks along the beach watching the sunrise!! Loading and unloading was a challenge and parking is some distance away- but the charm of the cottage and the proximity of everything you need makes this worthwhile. The hosts were very helpful, offering advice and support. We were there for Christmas week and arrived to find a very generous and festive welcome pack. Thank you

Whitby at its best!
Totally as described. Accommodation clean; well prepared and presented; suitable for all ages; wonderful location; central, within walking distance for all Whitby essentials; wonderful views of the Abbey across the Whitby roof-tops (particularly from the top floor front); steps to the front door and vehicle parking may be issues. Everything that could be wished for a care-free break. Superb communications with the owner. Would book again.
