Gulls Cry Cottage is only 2 minutes walk from the Harbour Side Wine Bars, Restaurants and quaint little pubs dotted about Whitby. 2 Double Bedrooms with Mahogany Sleigh Beds / Fitted Wardrobes 1 Twin with Mahogany Sleigh Beds. Parking via scratch card Permit Supplied, more available on request. I deal with all bookings personally rather than using an agent. This allows me to tailor each booking to suit individuals needs and tastes rather than a "One Stop for All Holiday Experience". I also pre-supply Restaurant Guides and information to get the best seats and entertainment for your stay to make the most of your break by planning before you arrive. Any other information requested is followed up to the best of my ability. Whitby is ideally located for walking and visiting local towns and resorts in the vicinity. The 13th Century Historic Abbey Ruins on the Cliff top overlook the town and Harbour. There are excellent Wine Bars/ traditional ancient Public Houses and of course amusements for the children with us and within us. Twin Piers protrude from the Harbour and after restoration work both can now be accessed. You can go fishing from the Piers, or Boat fishing from the Harbour by Private Charter for approximately £50pp. Why not venture along the Cliff top beyond the Abbey to Saltwick Bay, here you can get a bite to eat drink and perhaps go winkling. The Historic City of York with a Designer Outlet, McArthur Glen on the outskirts is only about an 1hr away with Robin Hoods Bay & Scarborough just a short drive South. Heart Beat Country, Goathland is only approx 20 minutes drive away. 8 miles to the North is Runswick Bay, a relatively unknown beautiful & tranquil place excellent for walkers as it forms part of the Cleveland Way. There are some wonderful eating houses around Whitby, The Moon & Sixpence Cocktail Bar on the Harbour side is excellent for Cocktails! further a field 1 mile out on the moors road heading towards Middlesbrough is The Stables with excellent food. Not forgetting The Magpie famous fish Chip restaurant just a 2min walk away and Whitbys "The Angel" Wetherspoons which is great for breakfast or a good quality cheaper meal with the usual top branded drinks at knock down prices. Grosmont only a short drive away welcomes you with a Steam Railway heading to Pickering and sometimes serves lunch onboard on Sundays, this is a journey through beautiful countryside. There are also occasional Steam Engines leaving from Whitby in Summer months and a Santas Special during the Xmas period.

About the host
Hosted by Colin
After visiting Whitby as a boy with my parents many times it became a Boyhood dream of owning an Old Fishermans Cottage in Whitby. This came to fruition in 2010 when buying a "VERY" rundown dilapidated Cottage. After many frustrating months/years nearly, also filled with enjoyment and huge learning curves the refurbishment of Gulls Cry was complete and as we see and enjoy it today.
Why they chose this property
A traditional 360yr old Fishermans Cottage that was originally 2 Cottages, now knocked into one to make quite a spacious Holiday Cottage. The refurbishment was designed and executed by myself and a 78 year old Master Craftsman who still works today at over 84 and took 18mths to complete. No attention to detail was overlooked making it a Superb Cottage for your special stay in Whitby.
What makes this property unique
Close to everything Central in Whitby yet tucked away for privacy when you get tired of the hustle & bustle. Lovely private outside space which most Cottages do not have and a little summer House to sit and relax in. Large screen LED TV with Firestick / Wifi throughout & Alexa controlled lounge lighting Refurbished to a very high standard, modern yet in traditional style with bespoke oak double glazing.
