My daughter and I loved our week at Rails End ~ the cottage is a real gem of a find in central Whitby, being only a literal 5 minute walk from the town centre and with easy parking.. I am not a rail enthusiast but really enjoyed that the cottage overlooks the NYMR rail line and the steam train passes a handful of times a day ~ and on our one damp day it was a lovely way to travel for visits to Pickering (do visit the church for the remarkable medieval wall paintings), Goathland and Grosmont. We usually explore by car while holidaying but being in the heart of Whitby we spent a very happy week walking the area and enjoying the views and coast. The walk up to the abbey was a regular favourite. The cottage itself was spotless; and perfect for it's facilities and location ~ we could not have asked for better. We will happily visit again.
