Seashell Cottage is owned and maintained by Heather and Iain Vitty who are passionate about their cottages and Whitby, where they now live so are on hand to help you with any questions or queries you may have to help your holiday run smoothly. Seashell Cottage is located a short walk from the iconic Flowergate – one of the oldest and most historic streets in Whitby. You’ll find cosy cafes, restaurants and shops lining the street, so the apartment is ideally located. The Blue Flag West Cliff beach and promenade is just a short 5-minute walk from the property. On Pier Road, you’ll find fun arcades and plenty of fish restaurants where you can sample the catch of the day. The other side of Whitby is full of narrow, medieval streets dotted with boutiques and pubs. Climb the famous 199 steps up to the Church of Saint Mary. You can also discover the renowned ruined Whitby Abbey, which was the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s gothic novel ‘Dracula’. Step outside of Whitby and you’ll uncover a haven of woodland and moorland. Whitby forms part of the North York Moors National Park so it’s the perfect place for long walks.

Spread out over three floors, Seashell Cottage is quirky and cosy. You’re welcomed into the open plan kitchen, living and dining area. With a traditional seaside cottage feel, the space is homely and snug. Make the most of your self-catering stay in Whitby by preparing meals in the kitchen and enjoy them at the dining table or outside alfresco style on the bench. Head upstairs and you’ll find the bedroom on the first floor. Boasting a comfy king size bed and premium bed linens, you’ll have a blissful night’s sleep here. Nods to Whitby’s maritime history are added with a boat oar displayed over the fireplace and artwork of donkeys on the beach. The bathroom is located on the floor above. With sloped ceilings and a skylight window, this is the perfect spot to enjoy a long soak in the bath. The space is complete with an overhead shower, vanity unit with basin and a WC.
