About this property
Periwinkle Cottage, comfortable holiday cottage in central Whitby
Periwinkle is an old Fisherman’s cottage situated in Carrs Yard, within the central conservation area of Whitby. It is ideally situated being just 2 minutes walk from the railway & bus station, shops, restaurants, pubs and harbour. The tranquil and open space of Pannett Park is across the road and Whitby Beach is under a 10 minute stroll away.
The cottage contains a lounge, kitchen, main bedroom with double bed, bathroom (with shower) and attic bedroom with two single beds. The kitchen is well equipped with oven, hob, fridge freezer, microwave, kettle and toaster. The lounge contains a smart TV, DVD player and smart speaker along with numerous DVD’s and a stocked bookshelf. Gas central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and WiFi included.
Guest access
You'll have access to the full cottage which consists of 3 floors. The cottage has its own access from Carrs Yard.
Other things to note
Like many of Whitby’s old cottages there is no dedicated parking although you can unload and load up your car outside the cottage. There are long stay car parks within close vicinity or street parking a few minutes walk.
Periwinkle Cottage is dog friendly and we accept 2 well behaved dogs. Please note however that there is no garden or enclosed outdoor space, just an open outside area with a bistro table and chairs and a bench. The outside area is a public right of way. For the benefit of all our guests, dogs are not allowed upstairs in the cottage or on furniture. Whitby Pannett Park does not allow dogs.
The twin attic bedroom has an open steep staircase so please be careful with toddlers or small children. There is also a step down into the bathroom. The washing machine is located in the cellar/basement under the cottage with its own entrance, again down steps. Not recommended for anyone who has difficulty negotiating steps and stairs.

About the area
Whitby
Whitby is home to this cottage. While the natural beauty of North York Moors National Park and Whitby Beach can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can explore Whitby Harbour.
Museum of Victorian Science and The Moors National Park Centre are also worth visiting. Kayaking, fishing and swimming offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with cycling nearby.
