Cottage in the centre of Whitby - beautiful coastal and Abbey views

Penrith House is a former fisherman's cottage and it situated in Cliff Street, one of the oldest and most historic streets in Whitby. The cottage has lovely views to the Abbey and sea, and sleeps up to six people. Cliff Street is in the heart of Whitby and in an excellent location, a stone's throw from the pier, beach and quayside. This makes a fantastic holiday home base for exploring Whitby, the North Yorkshire Moors National Park and is ideal for families and couples alike.

Well behaved pets are also very welcome and there is a wonderful choice of scenic walks and beaches for them to explore closeby. The cottage is also well equipped for families and there are many exciting attractions to visit closeby such as the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, The Bram Stoker Dracula Experience and Whitby Whale Watching. Or head out and explore the nearby beautiful moorland aboard the North Yorkshire Moors Railway which departs from the town.

Lovely house in a great location

We were four adults and a dog, staying at the house for a three night break in February. The location is absolutely perfect - just a stone's through away from the harbour but slightly back from the hustle and bustle. The house is lovely with well thought out equipment in the kitchen and throughout. The owner was very responsive with any queries we have. We would definitely choose to stay here again. Thank you.

Perfect location & cosy stay

A great holiday home in a perfect central location. Bigger than expected which was a nice surprise with a gorgeous bathroom. Warm & cosy with plenty of hot water for baths & showers. Lots of original features and a secret little outside hideaway sun trap at the back perfect for a morning cuppa. Easy to unload luggage despite being such a narrow one way road and lovely and clean through out. Can highly recommend. The constant contact with the friendly host was reassuring and the surprise early check in time was a real bonus. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Competitive price and a great location

From receiving the arrival details to leaving the property at the end of our stay, we couldn’t fault a single thing. Hilda was informative regarding the check in procedure, there were biscuits crisps and pop on the table for us, and the house was lovely and warm. The cosy electric ‘log burner’ style fire made the lounge feel even more cosy The property was extremely clean, the bedding lovely and the beds comfy. The property is located in an excellent spot right in the heart of things which we felt was perfect for our weekend break and yet was still nice and quiet whenever we were indoors. We would definitely stay here again.
