With its superb coastline and the spectacular North York Moors, the region is an excellent destination for walkers, cyclists and fans of outdoor activities. Whitby itself is a charming and atmospheric town, packed with winding streets and hidden alley ways. There is also a picturesque harbour, numerous safe, sandy beaches and of course the Abbey, reached by its famous 199 steps.
Reviews
"A lovely cottage facing the river Esk with beautiful views. The cottage is lovely and clean and well kept. Everything you need for a holiday is here. The location is great if you like to get out and walk. Locatated a short distance form the cinder track, you have the walk over the viaduct to the heart of the town and in the other direction takes you to Robin Hoods Bay. A beautiful place to stay, wouldn't have missed it for the world."
"Stayed here in august, fantastic week here, loved the place the views, could not fault a thing, very comfy beds, very well equipped kitchen, can't wait to return, will be booking this place again, loved walking the dog over the viaduct into Whitby,best holiday I've been on in a long time."
"stayed here a few years ago during wgw and it was fantastic so much space so comfortable one of the better accommodations weve stayed in there"
"Been to Herons Reach twice & both times we really enjoyed it. Everything you need is in the house. Near enough to walk to Whitby plus we found some more good walks this time. Enjoyed watching for seals in the river & saw them twice. Nice clean, quiet & relaxing place. Highly recommended. Will return."
"This little town house was in an ideal position in a quiet area beside a viaduct and river where you could fish or catch crabs if you wished to do so. The house itself was nicely decorated and furnished and had everything there that we needed for our stay. We enjoyed feeding the ducks every day although we never seemed to satisfy them! It took us about 25 minutes to walk along the Cinder path into Whitby."
"My Hubby & I have just returned from a lovely weeks stay in Herons Reach with 3 of our small Grandchildren - we had almost perfect weather - and we could have spent almost everyday at the cottage it was such a perfect location!! - situated just below a magnificent Viaduct, what a fascinating structure! there is a lovely green area right outside the door where we had picnics, played games, fed the ducks or just sat out chatting to neighbouring guests & enjoying a glass of wine & waving to pleasure cruisers & steam trains passing buy. We spent lovely evenings catchin crabs with our little crabbing net, from the river just at the other side of the green we caught 16 one evening!! - then watched them run back down the slipway when we let them go. The cottage was very clean, very well equiped, & lovely comfy beds - it was a nice walk into whitby about 30 minutes with 3,4,& 7 year olds in tow & yes the bank is steep getting out of the site but really good excersise to burn of the fish & chips!!. - the first reviewer mentioned the swiming pool on site, but disapointingly, it is only for some of the other cottages!! - (a small shop on site would be good or a mobile shop) as it is a drive to the nearest shop if the milk runs out. This holiday was a very nice change from our normal Holidays abroad - & would love to do it again!!! :-))"

"W e had a great time at the cottage, it is peaceful and quite with the exception of the odd steam engine that thunders bye on the track on the far side of the river, and who is going to complain about a sight like that. We had ducks and swans right outside our cottage door looking for some treats or scraps they were very friendly. There is also a small heated indoor swimming pool that was always in use. The only downside to the site is that there is very steep hill to go up if you are walking out of the site, it is a strain on the legs and gets your heart pumping but who cares your on holiday after all."
