The area

The centre of Whitby, and Whitby Harbour are just a few short steps away from Lightkeeper's Cottage, so it’s ideal if you want to enjoy a break by the sea.

The area is famous for the quality of its fish and chip restaurants, and there are plenty of places where you can sink your teeth into a fresh catch. When you fancy a drink, you’ll find a variety of bars as well as pubs and shops in the local area.

Whitby is also famous for Bram Stoker’s gothic novel ‘Dracula’. You’ll find plenty of sites near the apartment with historic interest relating to the story. The main inspiration can be found at the renowned ruined Whitby Abbey.

Step outside of Whitby and you’ll uncover a haven of woodland and moorland. In particular, Dalby Forest and Guisborough Forest, just a drive away and they both have various beautiful walking and cycling routes to explore.

Lightkeepers Cottage is just a short walk to the town centre, harbour and Whitby train station. Villages and towns along the North Yorkshire coast can easily be reached via rail. There’s also a taxi rank in close proximity to the train station.

There are plenty of bus routes throughout Whitby. Hop on the X4 and you can visit beautiful coastal villages like Sandsend, Runswick Bay and Staithes. The X93 travels along the coast to Scarborough. The 95 route features plenty of quaint villages, such as Grosmont and Lealholm.

“Another fantastic stay in a wonderful cottage with an excellent location we'll happily keep coming back. Positive: We've now stayed at this cottage on a number of occasions and have always had a great experience. The location is absolutely brilliant and is one of the main reasons we keep returning. The cottage is comfortable, well-equipped and has everything we need for a relaxing stay. It's always been clean, welcoming and feels like a home away from home. Negative: There wasn't anything significant to dislike during our stay. Like any property, there are a few minor signs of wear and tear, but nothing that affected our visit or enjoyment.”
