Lawsons Lodge

Whitby's residential edges offer a quieter base than the town centre, yet bring you within easy reach of the harbour, beach and cobbled streets. Lawsons Lodge sits in this setting: a four-bedroom property sleeping seven, with a private hot tub and enclosed garden where you can retreat whatever the weather. The essentials—heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi—are covered, so you can unpack and settle in straightaway.

The ground floor holds the kitchen and dining space, where a full electric cooker and double fridges mean you can cook properly, alongside a separate living room for downtime. Upstairs are three bedrooms: a king, a twin and a single, served by a bathroom with shower. The top floor has another king bedroom. A travel cot and highchair are on hand if needed, and there's a games chest for rainy afternoons. The back garden has patio furniture and space to breathe; the hot tub seats six. Two parking spaces come with the property.

This arrangement suits families wanting their own space without a hotel feel. Non-smokers only. The nearby Morrisons Daily covers basics, and Whitby's restaurants, galleries and the 199 steps up to the Abbey ruins are a short walk away.
