Approach via a flagged courtyard. A staircase leads to a delightful kitchen with dining area, a lovely spot to enjoy lazy breakfasts and chat about your plans for the day.



The kitchen leads to an inner hallway which in turn leads to a spacious sitting room. The beamed ceiling, original wooden floors and fireplace, as well as some lovely antique furniture, create a marvellous sense of history. Relax in comfort and imagine the place in times gone by. From the window, there’s even a glimpse of the harbour and sea.

To the upper floor is a gorgeous, light-drenched king-sized double bedroom with en-suite shower room with double shower, basin and WC. Luxury and period features abound, with a decorative original fireplace, two sash windows and stylish wooden floor.



There are two twin bedrooms with full size 3′ beds. The rooms are tastefully decorated to create a tranquil feel, with smart roman blinds and cosy carpets.

The house shower room has a corner shower, basin and WC.

Whitby’s iconic Abbey and St Mary’s Church are in the immediate vicinity. Meander over the swing bridge into the harbour and take a coastal cruise to see Whitby a different way.

The pretty fishing villages of Staithes and Robin Hood’s Bay are within easy reach. A steam train ride from Whitby to Grosmont across the stunning North York Moors is a must. Further afield, history lovers will be enchanted with Castle Howard, location for ‘Brideshead Revisted’ and, more recently, ITV’s ‘Victoria’.

Foresters is a charming cottage in a coastal town that simply oozes history.
