The local cuisine, renowned for fresh seafood, can be enjoyed in numerous acclaimed restaurants, ensuring a delightful dining experience.

For the outdoor enthusiast, Whitby is a gateway to exploring the North York Moors National Park, with its breathtaking heather-clad moorlands and scenic walking trails.

“We had an absolutely lovely time at Candyfloss cottage. Such a beautiful little fisherman’s cottage which is filled with lots of curiosities and unique decor. It is a little tricky to find, but we loved how it was hidden away down a quaint little back alley. You are literally 30 seconds walk from the harbour and all of the amenities and 1 minute away from the beach. The house has a steep winding staircase as it’s an old cottage, so someone of limited mobility would struggle. However, I liked them as it helped me to achieve my daily step count. The kitchen had everything that we needed and it even has a washing machine which is helpful when you are on a longer stay. Charlie from Host and Stay was super helpful and responsive. We will definitely be back.”
