Gulls Cry Cottage 17th Century Detached Cottage 2min's from Harbour Side

17th Century Detached Cottage, in Private Courtyard, Built in 1660, Refurbished and Furnished to a Very High Luxurious Specification, Redecorated for 2024. Please read over 140 5 Star reviews on Trip Advisor or Holiday Lettings Property No' 142668 Set in a quiet Private Court Yard with Cosy Summer House containing Rattan Furniture, BBQ, Out Door Rattan Seating Area for your relaxation, yet only a 2 min' walk to the Bustling Harbour Side. * 2 nights available at minimum cost, 2 person rental at reduced rates depending on dates. GCH / 42" HD TV with Sound Bar & Sub Woofer. Cosy Log Burning Stove Set in Antique Oak Surround in Lounge. Fully Fitted Kitchen with Oven/Induction Hob/Combination Microwave/Pod Coffee Machine/Washing Machine & Fridge Freezer. Designer Bath/Shower Room with Travertine Stone Tiling Free WiFi throughout Cottage. Gulls Cry Cottage is only 2 minutes walk from the Harbour Side Wine Bars, Restaurants and quaint little pubs dotted about Whitby. 2 Double Bedrooms with Mahogany Sleigh Beds / Fitted Wardrobes 1 Twin with Mahogany Sleigh Beds. Parking via scratch card Permit Supplied, more available on request. I deal with all bookings personally rather than using an agent. This allows me to tailor each booking to suit individuals needs and tastes rather than a "One Stop for All Holiday Experience". I also pre-supply Restaurant Guides and information to get the best seats and entertainment for your stay to make the most of your break by planning before you arrive. Any other information requested is followed up to the best of my ability. Whitby is ideally located for walking and visiting local towns and resorts in the vicinity. The 13th Century Historic Abbey Ruins on the Cliff top overlook the town and Harbour. There are excellent Wine Bars/ traditional ancient Public Houses and of course amusements for the children with us and within us. Twin Piers protrude from the Harbour and after restoration work both can now be accessed. You can go fishing from the Piers, or Boat fishing from the Harbour by Private Charter for approximately £50pp. Why not venture along the Cliff top beyond the Abbey to Saltwick Bay, here you can get a bite to eat drink and perhaps go winkling. The Historic City of York with a Designer Outlet, McArthur Glen on the outskirts is only about an 1hr away with Robin Hoods Bay & Scarborough just a short drive South. Heart Beat Country, Goathland is only approx 20 minutes drive away. 8 miles to the North is Runswick Bay, a relatively unknown beautiful & tranquil place excellent for walkers as it forms part of the Cleveland Way. There are some wonderful eating houses around Whitby, The Moon & Sixpence Cocktail Bar on the Harbour side is excellent for Cocktails! further a field 1 mile out on the moors road heading towards Middlesbrough is The Stables with excellent food. Not forgetting The Magpie famous fish Chip restaurant just a 2min walk away and Whitbys "The Angel" Wetherspoons which is great for breakfast or a good quality cheaper meal with the usual top branded drinks at knock down prices. Grosmont only a short drive away welcomes you with a Steam Railway heading to Pickering and sometimes serves lunch onboard on Sundays, this is a journey through beautiful countryside. There are also occasional Steam Engines leaving from Whitby in Summer months and a Santas Special during the Xmas period.
