Fishermans Warehouse

About this property

Fisherman’s Warehouse is an immaculate red brick-built cottage in the heart of Whitby. Leave the car behind and explore this fabulous seaside town on foot – it is so close to the beach, harbour, shops and restaurants – bustling Whitby has an old world charm all of its own.

Airy, spacious and comfortable, the cottage has a private terrace with superb views of the harbour, Whitby Abbey and out to sea. It is a gem of a place for families who like everything on their doorstep, yet tucked away in a quiet location.

Step inside the entrance porch to find an elegant reception hall, flagged in Yorkshire stone. This area is illuminated at night with low level blue lights.

A few steps up from the reception hall leads to a light and airy open plan living space, with comfortable sitting and dining areas. Who can be first to “see the sea”? There is a wonderful view from this floor.

The well-equipped kitchen is sparkling clean, with ample work surfaces and a dishwasher. A great addition to this property is the ground floor shower room, perfect for a nice hot shower after sandy days at the beach. Families will appreciate the utility room with a washing machine and dryer.

Both bedrooms – one double, the other twin – are located on the lower ground floor, with patio doors to the private enclosed terrace outside. How lovely to be able to feel the sunshine on your face, hear the gulls and breathe in fresh sea air when you step out of bed.

The house bathroom, beautifully tiled with a modern bath, shower over, basin and WC.

To end the day, why not indulge in a romantic nightcap on the terrace – from here you can see Whitby’s iconic Abbey, floodlit in the evening.

For those who like a challenge, Whitby’s famous 199 steps are a must – the views from St Mary’s church and the Abbey are well worth the climb. Little ones are sure to love the golden sandy beach; or let them try their hand at crabbing in the harbour using a simple weighted line, it’s an experience to treasure, just don’t forget to put back what you catch! Fans of seafood and fresh fish and chips are spoilt for choice in Whitby’s many award-winning restaurants.

Walkers and cyclists should seek out the Cinder Track route from Whitby station to Robin Hood’s Bay and onto Scarborough, it follows the old railway line. For a magical 2-mile woodland walk on the North York Moors, try May Beck and Falling Foss, there’s a lovely café half way around the circular walk.

Fisherman’s Cottage has been finished to a high standard and guests will be pleased to return here after days spent exploring this wonderful part of England.

The seaside town and port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire. Ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire, the local area hosts an abundance of activity so you can be sure to get the best out of both the countryside and the coast. From the nearby North York Moors to its Blue Flag beaches, there's something here for every interest and time of year. Amongst its many attractions, Whitby holds a charming atmosphere, home to winding streets and hidden alleys, where you can find a wide selection of eateries and shops scattered amongst them. Take a trip to the picturesque harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun set, or get involved in some whale watching or a coastal cruise to watch the creatures up close. Climb the famous 199 to the Whitby Abbey to immerse yourself with history, or visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum presenting historical and ethnographic exhibition about Cook himself. Hosting an abundance of leisure facilities, opportunities to explore the natural lands, and plenty of coastal delights, Whitby offers something for everyone. Close to the Robin Hood's Bay full of heritage wonders and scenic spots, and in reach of the bustling towns of Scarborough and Middlesbrough, Whitby is a prime location for exploring all of the delights that Yorkshire has to offer.
