A pretty coastal town pleasantly free of the mass development
associated with so many traditional English seaside resorts,
historic Whitby justifiably remains one of the most sought after
destinations for a Yorkshire coast self-catering
holiday. A multitude of attractions for families, both
in charming Whitby itself and along the neighbouring coastline at
large resorts such as Filey, Scarborough and
Bridlington,
means that a Whitby holiday cottage offers a great range of seaside
activities.
Located between Staithes and
Robin Hood's
Bay, Whitby is also an excellent base for discovering
the smaller towns and ancient fishing villages, steeped in folklore
and smuggling history, that nestle among the rocky cliffs of this
beautiful section of the North Yorkshire Heritage coastline.
Renting a Whitby cottage also gives visitors easy access to the
dynamic city of York, with its fabulous
shopping, superb museums and historic cathedral and Minster, as
well being on the doorstep of the more remote beauty of the
spectacular North
Yorkshire Moors National Park, a designated Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The sea has always defined Whitby, and today the busy port and
vibrant harbour still form the hub of town. Captain Cook is
Whitby's most famous son and visitors can take a themed boat
cruise around the coastline on a replica of his ship the Endeavour
and visit the town's Captain Cook Museum. The beaches at Whitby
are stunning and on a 'good weather' day there's
nothing better than to simply relax and soak up the sun on one of
the excellent stretches of golden sand, making sure to leave time
for a spot of rock pooling once the tide goes out. Tuck into
award-winning fish and chips on the seafront and then explore the
labyrinth of ancient, winding streets behind the harbour. Check out
the Whitby's Dracula connection - the town was the inspiration
for writer Bram Stoker's world-famous vampire tale - and is
awash with themed trails and tours, and there's even a Dracula
museum. Hike up the famous 199 steps to St. Mary's Abbey for
fine cliff top views of the Yorkshire
coastline and a wander round the ancient abbey that
inspired one of the most famous gothic novels of all.
Away from the coast, your Whitby cottage is a passport to a host of
picturesque rural towns and villages. The attractions of the Vale
of York - ancient market towns such as Helmsley and
Pickering;
Beverley,
with its gothic Minster and famous Races - or historic Driffield,
capital of the Yorkshire Wolds, are within a day's visit. York,
home, amongst others, to the National Railway Museum and the
acclaimed Jorvik Viking museum, is also within easy reach.
Stately homes and gardens are many and varied; Castle Howard and
Burton Agnes Hall are just two of the county's finest estate
homes and gardens, whilst historic Fountains Abbey and the
elegantly beautiful Studley Royal Water Gardens near Ripon are recognised
World Heritage sites. Nearby Thirsk attracts
visitors from Whitby for its connections to the vet James Herriot,
not least of which is the James Herriot Museum, which is set in his
former surgery. Walkers and cyclists will enjoy the miles of
trails, footpaths and bridleways criss-crossing countryside now
commonly referred to both as Herriot Country and Heartbeat Country,
on account of the two popular television series filmed in the area.
Also popular with day-trippers from Whitby is The North Yorkshire
Moors Railway that operates between Pickering and the market town
of Grosmont,
taking visitors on a scenic journey along eighteen miles of some of
North Yorkshire's most attractive countryside and through its
prettiest villages. One of the oldest nostalgia train rides in the
UK, it offers a memorable day out as it winds its way through
picturesque forest and moorland.
A Whitby cottage is an
excellent choice for a UK holiday break. Whether for a weekend
break or the main family holiday of the year, this attractive part
of the North Yorks Moors and Coast offers an excellent holiday
break with plenty to see and do. Our carefully selected range of
Whitby cottages and holiday homes offers something for everyone.
Choose from a cottage with views of Whitby Abbey, to a Whitby
cottage located right in the centre of town. From properties as
diverse as luxury cottages in the Whitby area, family cottages
within easy reach of the beach and Whitby character cottages in
hamlets such as Littlebeck and Hinderwell on the
outskirts of town. Whether you are looking for a Whitby cottage
with beams and open fires or one with sea views, there is sure to
be a Sykes Whitby cottage to meet your needs.
