The fishing port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk and is well placed for exploring this wonderful part of Yorkshire with its spectacular coastline and the magnificent North York Moors. St Hilda's Abbey is high on Whitby's East Cliff as is the parish church of St Mary and the 199 steps leading up to them is well worth the climb. Bram Stoker was inspired by the atmospheric town to write Dracula. Whitby is also famous for Jet, a beautiful gemstone and the Victorian Jet Works will shed insight into the jet industry. Other attractions in Whitby are the Captain Cook Memorial Museum and the Dracula Experience. With its safe beaches and access to the North York Moors, Whitby is a tremendous base for a family holiday.
Reviews
"Very comfortable stay cottage was very clean well presented and ample room for the eight of us. Location is very central to North Yorkshire tourist attractions. Would stay there again."
"thoroughly enjoyed our time at this cottage the owners were so friendly and just a stroll into town and our friends stayed in the adjoining cottage which was as perfect as ours only smaller. will definitely book it again."
"A warm welcome from the owners. Clean and had all a family of 8 needed for a comfortable stay. We will be back again next year."
"Whalebone cottage is a charming large cottage, with 4 large bedrooms it sleeps 8 people comfortably. It is a very clean and tidy cottage. The sitting room is of generous size and there is a well stocked kitchen with dining area, this cottage also boasts 2 well sized bathrooms...one which just has a shower in. The outside garden is gated off for your own garden and parking for 2 cars. The views from the house are breathtaking with views across the Esk valley. You can also watch the comings and goings of the camping and caravan site which the cottage owners own...great for people watching!! The cottage is situated on a working farm which farms sheep...the kids love watching the sheep coming into the farm yard to be weighed. The cottage is about a mile away from whitby harbour...and if you walk there it's down hill all the way...just hop in a taxi for the return uphill journey...the taxi is very reasonable back there. The owners are very very friendly and extremely helpful...they didn't even mind us sitting in their garden when the sun left our garden. We have just returned to the cottage for our 3rd holiday and it won't be our last. The cottage is a great base for all the tourist attractions like Robinhoods bay, staithes and Scarborough. I would defiantly recommend this cottage. Thank you for a great holiday."

"We stayed at Whalebone Cottage on the first weekend in May to celebrate a couple of birthdays within the group and we will definately be going back. The cottage itself has a great homely feeling with amazing views and we were only a couple of minutes drive from Whitby. The owner is a lovely women who looked after us well providing information on local taxis, restaurants etc, even her dog made friends with ours! The only negative I have with our weekend is that it ended too soon but we will definately be staying there again and I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone."
"Whalebone Cottage was a lovely base for exploring Whitby and the surrounding areas. The cottage was clean and comfortable. The only drawback was the slightly small dining area when a group of us wanted to cook/eat together. Otherwise, a perfect base for a lovely few days."
