Fisherman’s Warehouse is an immaculate stone-built cottage in the heart of Whitby.
Leave the car behind and explore this fabulous seaside town on foot – it is so close to the beach, harbour, shops and restaurants – bustling Whitby has an old world charm all of its own.
Airy, spacious and comfortable, the cottage has a private terrace with superb views of the harbour, Whitby Abbey and out to sea.
It is a gem of a place for families who like everything on their doorstep, yet tucked away in a quiet location.
Step inside the entrance porch to find an elegant reception hall, flagged in Yorkshire stone.
This area is illuminated at night with low level blue lights.
A few steps up from the reception hall leads to a light and airy open plan living space, with comfortable sitting and dining areas.
Who can be first to “see the sea”?
There is a wonderful view from this floor.
The well-equipped kitchen is sparkling clean, with ample work surfaces and a dishwasher.
A great addition to this property is the ground floor shower room, perfect for a nice hot shower after sandy days at the beach.
Families will appreciate the utility room with a washing machine and dryer.
Both bedrooms – one double, the other twin – are located on the lower ground floor, with patio doors to the private enclosed terrace outside.
How lovely to be able to feel the sunshine on your face, hear the gulls and breathe in fresh sea air when you step out of bed.
The house bathroom is immaculate, with bath, shower over, basin and WC.
To end the day, why not indulge in a romantic nightcap on the terrace – from here you can see Whitby’s iconic Abbey, floodlit in the evening.
For those who like a challenge, Whitby’s famous 199 steps are a must – the views from St Mary’s church and the Abbey are well worth the climb.
Little ones are sure to love the golden sandy beach; or let them try their hand at crabbing in the harbour using a simple weighted line, it’s an experience to treasure, just don’t forget to put them back!
Fans of seafood and fresh fish and chips are spoilt for choice in Whitby’s many award-winning restaurants.
Walkers and cyclists should seek out the Cinder Track route from Whitby station to Robin Hood’s Bay and onto Scarborough, it follows the old railway line.
For a magical 2-mile woodland walk on the North York Moors, try May Beck and Falling Foss, there’s a lovely café half way.
Fisherman’s Cottage has been finished to a high standard and guests will be pleased to return here after days spent exploring this wonderful part of England.
