Chance Escapes

GemmaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Comfortable well-equipped modern house a short drive from the coast, Bridlington, Flamborough, Filey etc. We also walked from the coast path back to the house across the fields. House is mainly comfortable although small double is, as described, a small double bed - so this room is not really sufficient for a good night’s sleep for a couple. Kitchen is well-equipped and there is plenty of parking (3 cars possible).

Forget-me-not Cottage with Sea & Countryside views

RodneyRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Lisa and Graham were exceptionally friendly from the start, but allowed us our privacy while we were there. Lovely touch having local biscuits and milk on arrival. Linen and towels in the bedrooms were lovely and fresh. The water is supplied from a local spring, and was delicious, and power from solar panels. The view from the kitchen/lounge was amazing - cute goats, sheep and donkeys just outside the door, and views over the hills to the sea. Watching the sunrise was lovely. The "Scratching Post" games room was fun, with fresh eggs and drinks available to buy and a pool table. Bring 50p coins! Really close to lots of walks - either straight from the door to Boggle Hole, or a short drive from Falling Foss with a beckside forest walk. Close enough to drive to Whitby for fish and chips, or Thorpe Stores in Fylingthorpe for a fresh bacon buttie from the friendly local shop. We'd love to come back and stay again.

Hidden Family Farm Paradise- near York & the Coast

LyndseyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We have just returned from a stay in this wonderful barn. Pictures don’t do it justice. It’s even more beautiful than the pictures show. Great location and really peaceful. The children loved seeing the chickens and horses. Great location and would definitely recommend for families wanting to go to Whitby , Dalby Forest and the little village of Thornton Le Dale with its lovely cafes.

Bel air The hideaway

JohnRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Our 1st AirB&B. We were not disappointed. Property better than described in that the rooms were all of good proportion with plenty of space to move around. Very well furnished and spotlessly clean. Bed lovely and comfy. Heating very welcome as mornings still a little chilly outside. Amazon telly a good bonus for relaxing in the evening. Nicola was brilliant with communication and suggestions. Couldn't have asked for better. Definitely on the to do list again.

Stunning Accommodation surrounded by Countryside

TobyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Ben was an excellent host and I would really recommend his place for the location, if you are holidaying in Ripon it is very central. The house was clean and homely. Parking is on street and we managed to get a spot on the road every night the week we stayed but generally it had filled up by approximately 17:00, there is alternative parking in a carpark around the corner though. There is a nice running route through fields along the river out of Ripon and back in from the north. Thanks for the lovely stay.

Your guide to Whitby

Introduction

Gothic charm abounds in this north Yorkshire fishing port — so much so that Bram Stoker set the final scene of Dracula here. With its abbey ruins, narrow cobbled streets, and spectacular cliffs, it’s no wonder Whitby has inspired so many ghost stories. Clinging to the coast between the North Yorkshire moors and the North Sea, just north of Scarborough, the town combines quaint 18th-century charm with rugged tenacity; its maritime history includes whaling and even exploring (there’s a monument to Captain Cook, who began his career here). There’s an old-world feel to Whitby’s seaside, a world of donkey rides, sandcastles, cottages, and fish and chips. And at the end of the day, it’s a great place from which to explore England’s wildest coast.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Whitby

Watch out for the winds on the North Yorkshire coast — they’re liable to blow you around a bit. It’s worth packing plenty of warm gear, no matter the season. Layers, light coats, and a waterproof jacket or poncho are essential, especially if you’re planning on doing some walking: It rains here just as much in the summer as it does in the winter, and sometimes more. Temperatures climb to an average high of 62 degrees Fahrenheit in July and August and drop to an average low of 42 degrees in January and February. April and May tend to be the driest months.


Top things to do in Whitby

Whitby Abbey

These haunting Gothic ruins date back to the 7th century, and the abbey was operational until Henry VIII’s dissolution of the monasteries, 900 years later. Come for the creep factor (the abbey is said to be haunted), but stay for the sweeping views of the majestic North Sea.

Robin Hood’s Bay

A three-hour scenic walk from Whitby takes you along a stunning section of the North Yorkshire Heritage Coast and deposits you in a picturesque fishing village packed with colorful pubs and cafes, as well as a dog-friendly beach. Explore the beach’s many rock pools — you might come across an ancient fossil if you’re lucky.

Church of St Mary

This 12th-century parish church, situated high upon a cliff overlooking the mouth of the River Esk, is interesting enough, but it’s the stairs up to its graveyard that are the must-visit. They’re the 199 steps made famous at the denouement of Dracula: the vampire himself ran up them in the shape of a black dog.
