About this property

Rainbow Cottage - A home from home in the heart of Whitby

Ideal for families and small groups, this Victorian cottage in the heart of the town sleeps 5 with a double, a twin and a single room.
Tucked away in a quiet pedestrian backstreet, away from the noise of the road yet just a few yards from shops and cafes and only 5 minutes walk to the beach.
The vintage charm of this cottage is blended with contemporary fittings to ensure comfort and convenience whilst retaining its original features.
You will be able to unload your car outside, and parking is available in the streets around the cottage. We will provide free permits. Keys are kept in a key safe with the code provided prior to arrival.
Entering through the front door, you will immediately ascend a set of stairs, where you will find a large well equipped dining kitchen with modern shaker style cream units complete with an integrated fridge and freezer, a freestanding oven, dishwasher, washing machine and microwave. There is also a separate wc/cloakroom on the first floor.
Another set of stairs takes you to a comfortable living room with an original cast iron fireplace, tv with Humax which offers more channels than freeview and a dvd player. There is a selection of books, dvds and board games. The cottage benefits from free wifi. Just off the living room is a single bedroom and contemporary bathroom with electric shower can also be found on this floor. The top floor has a double and a twin bedroom with views of Whitby Abbey.
This lovely cottage with its central location will quickly become a home from home for your holiday or short break. Please note that the cottage is located over 4 floors and may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility.

Wonderful stay in Whitby
We loved the location and layout of the Rainbow Cottage while in Whitby. Everything was so convenient and walkable. Just a perfect neighborhood and on a narrow street which kept things a little quieter. IT was perfect for our family of 4

Lovely Stay
Rainbow Cottage is in a fantastic location, Parking nearby, 5 minute walk to the front. Cottage is lovely, on 4 floors so if you are bad with steps, not ideal. Bedrooms on the top floor. Our only negative, was the shower was very small, I only just managed as a 5ft lady, but our husbands had a bit of trouble moving around.. But other than that, all good. Lots of games available, DVDs, Plenty of cooking utensils, We will defiantly return to this property.

Fantastic stay
This is the second time we have stayed at Rainbow Cottage and it won’t be the last! The accommodation is perfect for us, so close to the centre, close to all amenities and plenty of space. Fantastic bedrooms with a view of the abbey, which was even more lovely dive it was lit up while we were there! Simon is always really responsive to messages and welcoming. We wouldn’t stay anywhere else when we come to Whitby. Thanks again!
