White Horse Yard Cottages - Calico Cottage

Calico Cottage suits couples looking for a base in Whitby's historic centre. The whole cottage is yours alone, with one double bedroom and a bathroom on the upper floors, a living room with an electric stove, and a kitchen and dining area at ground level where you can cook. Essentials including Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen and towels are covered. One well-behaved pet stays free. The cottage is no-smoking.

Access is via five stone steps to the front door. The kitchen is compact but equipped for everyday cooking, with a gas hob and electric oven. Upstairs, the living room has a sofa and armchair facing the fire. The bedroom contains a sleigh double bed with storage. On-street and public car parks are nearby. Arrival is after 3pm and checkout before 10am.

The cottage sits just off the cobbled Church Street, up a side street away from the main bustle. Whitby's beach and harbour are within easy reach on foot, as are independent shops, cafés, pubs and the jet works museum. The 199 steps up to the cliff top lead to St Mary's Church and the ruins of Whitby Abbey.
