Whitby Getaway

Very nice, snug cottage in a great location. Close to Whitby Abbey and shopping, restaurants. Had all necessary amenities, coin operated laundry (machines were efficient and worked well). All in all a terrific base for exploring the coast and surrounding area. Definitely would recommend!

the location was right in the centre of the cobbled streets of the old town. The property was comfortable if a little tired. Our main problem was the middle bedroom, which we chose to sleep in the first night to save walking up another flight of stairs, was a little loud at night. People coming from the rowing club next door having loud conversations in the alley in frount. We had to move into the top bedroom with a double glazed window on the other side of the house, after that especially as there was an 80s night in the club.

Wonderful Cottage

I stayed here with my partner and my mother for three nights. We could not have asked for a better location. The cottage had a lot of charm and was in walking distance to everything, being in the heart of town. Great sized bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Communication with the host was great as well. I would definitely recommend this charming cottage.

Comfy and Cosy

Great property to stay in and quite clean, although the double bed in the first floor bedroom has seen better days it was still comfy and good for a good night's sleep. The property is made up of 3 floors so it is more suitable for able bodied person's, through fault of my own I forgot to mention that 3 of my party were actually disabled so found it difficult to climb the stairs. But all in all we all enjoyed our stay. Thank you Mike and team !

Whitby in love 💚💙

Ci siamo trovati benissimo. La casa comoda sia negli spazi che nella posizione, molto accogliente e pulita. L'unica cosa dolente è stata non poter accedere i caloriferi perché erano bloccati e per le nostre abitudini, almeno la sera, ne avremmo sicuramente fatto uso. Dovendo tornare a Whitby sceglieremmo comunque la stessa casa. Grazie per l'esperienza. Monia e famiglia

Great Cottage in Whitby

We had a great time in Whitby at this cottage. It had real warmth and history, close to everything! The Beach steps away was a hit for my kids and the Friendship Rowing Club pub was nice for me and wife. Mike and Louise were awesome!

About the host

Hosted by Mike

Host profile image
We are a well travelled couple who know what we like and try to offer you the same in our holiday cottages.

We've been to 64 different countries as at 2023, travelling extensively throughout.

When we are not abroad we also like to spend time in both of our cottages too when they are not booked out.

We love Whitby for its old worlde charm and ancient character and even we find somewhere or something different each time we visit. We're never bored here as it's such an interesting place to visit.

Why they chose this property

Awd Tuts Cottage is in the perfect location in the centre of the ancient part of Whitby, close to the harbour, restuarants, bars and shops.

You will be situated in the old cobbled streets area of Whitby. This is the oldest part of Whitby, much if it dating back to the 16th & 17th centuries.

What makes this property unique

Awd Tuts Cottage has plenty of charm and character

This cottage dates back to the times that King Charles 1st was on the throne of England and later beheaded. This shows the era of when the cottage was built. Poor old Charles never even stayed at our cottage, pity, we think he'd have enjoyed his stay.
