There is lots to do in Whitby.

Whilst in Whitby you have to try the world famous fish and chips available from numerous cafes on the sea front. Whitby was the inspiration for Bram Stoker's novel Dracula which he wrote whilst staying at Whitby. On the hill there is the historic ruins of Whitby Abbey which was the inspiration for Carthax Abbey in Dracula. Whitby also has a sea faring history being the home of Captain Cook which there is a Captain Cook museum in which you can discover more about the legendary sea farer. At high season there is August Whitby Regatta when you can see some amazing ships and boats. At the life boat museum you can find about the various daring rescues performed by the Whitby lifeguards over the many years.

If music is your thing then Whitby is the place for you hosting the world famous Whitby Goth Weekend twice a year, the 1960s weekend, the Folk Festival, Jazz and Soul Festival plus you also get to hear music and see films at the Bram Stokers International Film Festival at Whitby.

All in all your stay at Wildgoose Cottage will be fun, memorable and one that will stay in your hearts and minds forever.

We chose Wildgoose as a new base for our annual visit to the area to meet up with old friends. It is a very comfortable solid dwelling quietly tucked away yet still in easy reach of Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay.

Had a wonderful time really enjoyed the peace & quiet.Lots of great walks from the property in all directions. Easy stroll into Whitby where you can get the bus to Staithes and walk back to the property or train to Grosmont & also walk back. Communication was first class & a great nights sleep was guaranteed. We were also very lucky with the weather.

Good communication with host with quick response time. A very well planned out barn conversion. You relax as soon as you enter! A bright, fresh, clean welcome. Terrific location with easy reach of local area and further afield. Beautiful sunrises from the roof window and a plethora of wildlife from the stairs window, along with picturesque sunsets.

Lovely little cottage, very quiet and only a few minutes walk to the coast path, to either Whitby or Robin Hoods Bay - Cinder Track also can be walked to from the cottage as well, a bit more of a walk across fields & a short road walk but no problem if you are a regular walker.
