What guests are saying
Very happy, had a brilliant week.
Mariners Rest perfect for our family. Nice house, great location, excellent facilities.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mariners Rest, Whitby – A Fantastic Holiday Let in a Superb Location Mariners Rest is an absolute gem of a holiday let and a wonderful base from which to explore Whitby and the stunning North Yorkshire coastline.
From the moment you arrive, it is clear that a great deal of thought has gone into making this a comfortable, welcoming and well-equipped place to stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone looking for a fantastic coastal getaway. The accommodation Mariners Rest is arranged over three floors, giving the property a lovely sense of space and making it ideal for families or groups. The three bedrooms are beautifully laid out, clean and comfortable, with two good-sized double rooms and a single bedroom on the second floor. The master bedroom occupies the entire top floor and is particularly impressive. It is huge, peaceful and nicely separated from the rest of the house, making it a wonderful private retreat at the end of a busy day exploring. The beds are excellent and incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. Throughout the property, everything was clean, tidy and well presented. There is plenty of comfortable seating for guests to relax together, and the accommodation is exceptionally well equipped with everything you could need for a self-catering holiday. The showers deserve a special mention too – they are great, just what you need after a long coastal walk or a day spent exploring the surrounding countryside. Location, location, location! One of the biggest highlights of Mariners Rest is its fantastic position. Whitby railway station is only around a five-minute walk away, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the area without having to rely on the car. The North Yorkshire Moors Railway runs right past the back garden, which is a lovely feature for anyone who appreciates heritage railways. Despite being so close, it doesn't intrude on the peaceful atmosphere of the property. The location itself is quiet, without the constant disturbance of busy traffic, yet you are within easy reach of Whitby's town centre and all the shops, restaurants, cafés and amenities you could possibly need. The views across the River Esk are another real bonus, but the absolute highlight has to be the fabulous third-floor balcony. It is a wonderful place to sit back, relax and enjoy the outlook, whether you're having a morning coffee, unwinding with a drink in the evening or simply watching the world go by. Exploring Whitby Whitby itself is a brilliant seaside town with so much character, history and atmosphere. From Mariners Rest, it is easy to enjoy a leisurely evening stroll down to the harbour, soaking up the maritime atmosphere and enjoying the many pubs, restaurants and independent shops. For those feeling a little more energetic, the famous 199 Steps are well worth tackling. Climbing up to Whitby Abbey and St Mary's Churchyard rewards you with breathtaking views across the town, harbour and coastline. It is one of those classic Whitby experiences that really shouldn't be missed. Whitby Brewery is also well worth a visit. The location is great, and the pizzas are fabulous – a perfect combination after a day out exploring! So much to explore along the coast Mariners Rest is ideally positioned for discovering some of the most beautiful coastal scenery in North Yorkshire. There are numerous charming fishing villages, spectacular beaches and scenic walking routes within easy reach, meaning you could easily spend a week here and still have plenty left to discover. A few places we would particularly recommend include: Sandsend – A lovely seaside village just north of Whitby, with a beautiful sandy beach, coastal views and welcoming cafés. It is ideal for a relaxing stroll, and at the right tide you can walk along the beach towards Whitby. Robin Hood's Bay – An absolute must-see. This picturesque former fishing village has a maze of narrow, winding streets, characterful cottages and a fascinating smuggling history. The steep walk down to the beach is worth every step. Runswick Bay – A gorgeous sheltered bay with colourful cottages clinging to the hillside and a sweeping sandy beach. It is a wonderful spot for a peaceful walk, photography or simply enjoying the scenery. Staithes – A charming traditional fishing village with a picturesque harbour, steep cobbled streets and an artistic heritage. It feels like stepping back in time and is perfect for a wander with a camera in hand. Saltwick Bay – A dramatic stretch of coastline south of Whitby, known for its rugged scenery, rock formations and fossils. It is a great choice for those who enjoy wilder coastal landscapes. Ravenscar and Boggle Hole – Ideal for anyone who loves coastal walking and dramatic scenery. The cliffs and sweeping views around Ravenscar are spectacular, while Boggle Hole offers a lovely little cove tucked beneath the coastline. For a change of scenery, the North York Moors are also close at hand. Take a trip on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway to enjoy a nostalgic steam train journey through beautiful countryside, stopping at places such as Goathland, famous for its connections with Heartbeat and the Harry Potter films, or Grosmont, with its railway heritage and village charm. Other worthwhile outings include Falling Foss, a picturesque woodland waterfall that makes a lovely walk, and Scarborough, within a reasonable drive, with its two bays, historic castle, traditional seaside attractions and beautiful coastal walks. There really is something for everyone here, whether you enjoy walking, history, beaches, photography, steam trains, good food or simply discovering lovely places at your own pace. Our overall verdict Mariners Rest combines comfortable, spacious accommodation with an excellent location and some lovely extra touches, particularly the wonderful top-floor master bedroom, river views and fabulous balcony. It is peaceful enough to relax and unwind, yet perfectly placed for enjoying everything Whitby has to offer and exploring the surrounding coastline. We would happily return and would wholeheartedly recommend Mariners Rest to anyone planning a holiday in Whitby. It is a fantastic base for discovering this beautiful part of Yorkshire, and we can see why guests would want to come back time and time again. A real five-star find – highly recommended!
