With a perfect central location with the town centre, Abbey and beaches within walking distance, Hope Cottage is a quaint two-story cottage. Renovated to a high standard, this beautiful, homely dog friendly cottage sleeps three guests across two bedrooms with a cosy living room, fully equipped kitchen, modern bathroom, and a front garden making it a perfect choice for coastal getaways.
The Space:
The cosy living area has two modern sofas and a flat screen Smart TV. After a busy day exploring Whitby, you can kick back on one of the sofas and keep up with your favourite shows on Freeview or streaming services.
Hope Cottage boasts a traditional, bright, shaker style kitchen which is fully equipped for self-catering staycations. Here you can make use of the oven, hob, microwave, kettle, coffee maker, toaster, fridge-freezer and dishwasher.
Hope Cottage has two beautiful bedrooms. The master bedroom has a comfortable king size bed, decked out in plush bedding and premium bed linens to ensure you have a great night’s sleep.
The second bedroom has a single bed with an additional trundle bed which can be made up upon request. While not as large as the master bedroom, the room still offers a cosy nights’ sleep in lavish bedding.
The family bathroom has a walk-in corner shower, WC and wash basin for your convenience.
The entrance door into the property opens out onto the garden which is a real added bonus to Hope Cottage. Take a seat on the bench and enjoy the sun as you enjoy your morning coffee, or even a late tipple where you can watch the sky go dark and the clouds burn orange as evening turns to night.
Guest Access:
Guests have access to the full property. The keys to Hope Cottage are accessed via a secure key safe and full details will be provided shortly before your arrival date.
Free on-street parking is available nearby on a first come, first served basis. No permit is required.
A maximum of two well-behaved dogs are welcome to stay at Hope Cottage per reservation.
The Neighborhood:
Hope Cottage is located a short distance from the centre of Whitby so you’ll find restaurants, shops and pubs less than a 15-minute walk away.
The cottage is located on the West side of Whitby. You’ll be able to revel in the nostalgic seaside charm - head to the arcades or explore the beautiful, blue flag West Cliff Beach which is lined with idyllic beach huts.
Venture over the swing bridge and you’ll reach the East bank. This side of Whitby is full of narrow, mediaeval streets dotted with boutiques, pubs and fish restaurants. Climb the famous 199 steps up to the Church of Saint Mary. You can also discover the renowned ruined Whitby Abbey, which was the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s gothic novel ‘Dracula’.
Step outside of Whitby and you’ll uncover a haven of woodland and moorland. Whitby forms part of the North York Moors National Park so it’s the perfect place for long walks.
Getting Around:
Whitby train station is a short walk away from Hope Cottage so 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.
