This "dinky" bolthole is perfect for couples or solo travellers and ideally located in the heart of Whitby, offering the perfect base to explore this stunning area and all that it has to offer. The property is located on historic Church Street, so you can sit and watch the boats drifting by with some local fish and chips. Walk along the cobbled street, taking in the local shops, galleries, and eateries, and head up the 199 steps to the Abbey, the inspiration for Dracula. Walking enthusiasts and nature lovers won't be disappointed either, with the scenic coastal path close by. Or venture further afield to the North York Moors (3 miles), with its lovely villages hidden among the wild moors.

Upon entering, you are greeted by the intimate and inviting downstairs seating area. Here, you can unwind whilst preparing a meal for two. The well-equipped kitchenette is perfect for preparing light meals and snacks, with all the amenities you need conveniently at your fingertips. The property boasts a convenient downstairs shower room and WC, ensuring comfort and convenience during your stay. As you ascend the small, steep ladder staircase, you'll discover the hidden treasure of the cottage, an enchanting bed deck with a double bed and TV. Although the ceiling is low, it adds to the cottage's charm and provides a snug environment where you can peacefully rest and sleep. A Velux window above the bed offers an opportunity for stargazing, allowing you to immerse yourself in the beauty of the Whitby night sky.

Outside, there is a communal patio area with bistro table and chairs for dining alfresco or enjoying a tipple in the sun.

I appreciate that given the name Dinky Cottage one would expect it to be small, but in reality it was little more than a cupboard. There was hardly room for 2 people to turn around downstairs and having paid extra to bring our dog, there was no room for a dog bed or for a dog to move around. Unfortunately when we arrived at the allotted time , the Read moreproperty had not been cleaned and there were dirty towels and laundry still in the property so we were unable to stay, although having paid for a week.

Great location, close to centre of Whitby. Parking permits were great when space available - we unloaded on double yellows & moved to cheaper car park. Compact space but planned well - the ladder could be a challenge for some; reasonable level of fitness required. Lovely outside space. A few things missing-only one large plate & one teaspoon- Read morewe bought & left for future guests. No DAB radio we could find. Some attention to cleaning of old cobwebs & unfortunately previous guests left dirty glasses. Plentiful towels & lovely gift of local Parkin cake. Great bolthole for a few days. Hide
