About this property
A contemporary and luxurious cottage for two in Whitby’s West Cliff area, within easy walking distance of the beach, harbour, shops and restaurants.
Uncover your own slice of Yorkshire coastal heaven in this stylish cottage with sea and Abbey views.
Prepare to fall in love with Whitby, its cobbled ‘old town’, gorgeous sandy beach and bustling waterfront. It is a place which oozes history, a place to unwind, explore and make memories that will last forever.
This immaculate holiday property boasts a dreamy double bedroom, with en-suite bathroom with bath – expect to sleep well in the elegant chrome bed.
A hand-crafted wooden staircase leads up to a smart kitchen with welcoming cream units, pale beech work surfaces and a traditional wooden table and chairs.
Make your way into the relaxing sitting room and unwind together in style. Wow! There is a view over the rooftops towards the harbour and Whitby’s historic Abbey. The décor is calming and neutral, inspired by its coastal surroundings. It’s easy to imagine snuggling up here over a delicious bottle of wine, with a view of the floodlit Abbey in the distance!
Located in the West Cliff area where the famous “whale bones” are situated, the property is in a quiet residential area, yet close to all the town centre amenities. Whitby is the only place on the entire East coast where visitors can see the sun rise and set in the North Sea – perfect for a romantic beach stroll. Or kick back together and enjoy a glass of champagne on Whitby’s charming waterfront and watch the world go by.
For coastal walks, head to the charming fishing villages of Staithes, Runswick Bay or Robin Hood’s Bay. If you’re feeling adventurous, Filey Brigg is wild and rugged, with plenty of opportunity for spotting basking seals and coastal wildlife. Whale watching boat trips are also possible from Whitby harbour.
From your cosy base at Gavel Cottage, discover what makes Whitby one of Yorkshire’s most loved resorts – it’s all on your doorstep!

The bath water was luke-warm and we had to top up with the kettle. No problems with the shower temperature. Wifi was fast once we figured out which network it was. Was disappointed that there was no welcome basket, lots of reviews in the guest books praising how nice it was. We were expecting one as in the description, so had to go out to buy tea, coffee, milk etc. when we arrived.
