The Coachman Whitby, North Yorkshire

Holiday Rental Description

Overlooking Whitby's town centre, this cottage is a wonderful home steeped in history. It's a Grade I-listed building dating back to the eighteenth century when it was used as a coach house, and today the home retains its old-world character while still offering plenty of modern luxuries. Sleeping up to ten guests, an extended family or a group of friends looking to escape to the coast will find it impossible not to fall in love with this unique space. The ruins of Whitby Abbey, famously the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula, are just three minutes away from your front door, as is Whitby's very own brewery where you can sample some locally-brewed craft beer. A twenty-minute walk will bring you through the charming town to the beach, where you can paddle on sunny days or take a bracing walk in the colder months. And, with a lovely garden to return home to, make sure you don't forget to organise cocktail hour – the grassy lawn is the perfect spot to enjoy a cool drink as the sun goes down.
