Hidden Gem truly lives up to its name! Situated down a quiet private passage in the centre of Whitby
Hidden Gem truly lives up to its name! Situated down a quiet private passage in the centre of Whitby. We could not find any fault. The cottage is spotlessly clean, comfortable and had everything we and our dog needed. The owner is easy to contact if you have any queries and provides the most wonderful welcome pack! One of the best we have stayed in.

What an amazing cottage and host.
What an amazing cottage and host. We visited for our 25th Wedding Anniversary and Helen decorated the cottage beautifully and with a cake! The location is perfect for visiting the town with excellent food and pubs within an easy walking distance. There's plenty to do in the area, we'd highly recommend Cranberry Swamp for breakfast, Beer O'clock (30 seconds from the cottage) and The Green Dragon for excellent beer. The Whitby brewery is well worth the walk up the steps and finally the Magpie for fish and chips!We'll definitely be back!
