Situated in the historic fishing town of Whitby and ideally placed to discover all that the spectacular North Yorkshire coast has to offer.
Set on the first floor with distant views out towards the sea, the sitting room has been stylishly furnished with plenty of space to relax and catch up on the day’s adventures. Interesting nautical artefacts make good talking points and there’s a Smart T.V. too for movie nights by the fire on chilly evenings.

The gardens are to the front and side with seating areas to enjoy the sunshine and soak up the sea air. At the rear, accessed from the ground and first floors is a spacious courtyard with seating and a BBQ to enjoy al fresco dining.
Whitby with all its rich history and intrigue is a short walk form the cottage, with everything you could need for a perfect stay by the coast. On the East Cliff, overlooking the North Sea, the ruined Gothic Whitby Abbey was Bram Stoker’s inspiration for “Dracula”. Nearby is the Church of St. Mary, reached by 199 steps. The Captain Cook Memorial Museum, in the house where Cook once lived, displays paintings and maps. West of town is West Cliff Beach, lined with beach huts and the giant whale bone arch is not to be missed.
Of course Whitby is also famous for excellent fish and chips, fresh from the sea, what could be better!

Probably the most visited and much-loved of Yorkshire’s seaside resorts, Whitby is an idyllic location for a holiday. With its seaside heritage, excellent restaurants, independent shops and host of bars and cafes along its medieval streets, it has so much to offer the discerning holidaymaker.
Whitby’s narrow twisting yards evolved over a thousand years ago to provide protection from Viking raiders, and to help Whitby’s smugglers avoid the tax collectors. Straddling the River Esk and dominated by the 13th century ruins of St Hilda’s Abbey high on the East Cliff dominates the skyline, providing the backdrop for some of Lewis Carroll’s work, it was also famously the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Spreading below, a maze of alleyways and narrow streets running down to the busy quayside and picturesque harbour which have been a magnet for artists and tourists alike for centuries.

We have really enjoyed our family stay at Misty Cottage, for my husband’s 80th birthday, the downstairs bedroom was ideal for him, with the kitchen/dining next door and a couple of comfy chairs!
The house is very well equipped…much bigger inside than it looks from outside! We all had a wonderful time and a big than you to Beautiful Escape and the owners.

Great place for a large group for friends and family, easy walk into Whitby and in a nice quiet location near the sea which we loved. Plenty to see and do all around the area, good pubs, cafes etc., Lots of walks along the coast too. The house is much bigger when you get inside it’s like a Tardis!
The house is well equipped, plenty for space and nicely furnished, we would highly recommend it to everyone, booking with Beautiful Escapes was easy and all our questions were answered promptly.
Thank you

We had a fabulous time at Misty Cottage. Firstly, the booking process was extremely easy and efficient and once confirmed, any further information was easily obtained from the Beautiful Escapes team. The cottage was beautifully done from an interiors perspective and had every utensil we needed. It was also very clean and tidy. It was perfectly positioned, close to the beach and not too far from the town which we all enjoyed wandering around. We took the open top bus tour of Whitby which was great fun and very informative.
Some of our group cycled and found the cycle paths easy to follow, however slightly challenging in parts. Others visited Castle Howard which was a 45 minute drive from Whitby and very interesting with lovely walks through the gardens and grounds. Lastly, we ate in Pizza West which we could walk to, had great atmosphere and the food and wine was excellent.
All in all we all thoroughly enjoyed our Whitby stay and would highly recommend it for a short break.
Thank you for your help and recommendations.
