There is lots to do in Whitby.

Whilst in Whitby you have to try the world famous fish and chips available from numerous cafes on the sea front. Whitby was the inspiration for Bram Stoker's novel Dracula which he wrote whilst staying at Whitby. On the hill there is the historic ruins of Whitby Abbey which was the inspiration for Carthax Abbey in Dracula. Whitby also has a sea faring history being the home of Captain Cook which there is a Captain Cook museum in which you can discover more about the legendary sea farer. At high season there is August Whitby Regatta when you can see some amazing ships and boats. At the life boat museum you can find about the various daring rescues performed by the Whitby lifeguards over the many years.

If music is your thing then Whitby is the place for you hosting the world famous Whitby Goth Weekend twice a year, the 1960s weekend, the Folk Festival, Jazz and Soul Festival plus you also get to hear music and see films at the Bram Stokers International Film Festival at Whitby.

All in all your stay at Wildgoose Cottage will be fun, memorable and one that will stay in your hearts and minds forever.

Lovely weekend away. Cottage in a beautiful location surrounded by wildlife. We saw dolphins, owls, and a badger. Only improvements would be a better quality mattress and wifi as phone signal is very poor inside.

Beyond Whitby

This cottage was cosy and comfortable. To be honest, it is a good way out of Whitby, but the location has charms of its own, such as it’s proximity to the Abbey, the lighthouse and the Cleveland Way path.

Weekend in Whitby

Absolutely loved our stay here. Wildgoose cottage is lovely and we enjoyed every minute there. Living in a terraced house on an estate it was so amazing to stay here with such beautiful surroundings. To look out of the window and see deer, rabbits, pheasants and the horses in the field at the back. The cottage is clean and comfortable and fully equipped.

Relaxing and cosy

Our short stay at wild goose cottage was very relaxing and although it was blowing a gale outside it was very cosy and warm. Everything you need is there and having no WiFi access was actually really good. I can thoroughly recommend a stay at Wildgoose cottage at anytime of the year if you’re looking to get away from it all and just relax.

Delight by the sea

Wildgoose Cottage is a delight to the soul. We enjoyed excursions into Whitby, walks in the area, daily visits from pheasant’s and ewes, and views of the North Sea. We could not have asked for more.

Beautiful hideaway which had everything we needed, warm and clean, with views of the sea. We will certainly be visiting again if we can find some time. Thank you.

Perfect

A lovely little cottage with a lovely outlook to the sea and sometimes the neighbours cows at the fence looking back at you. The cottage is in a quiet peaceful location but only five minute drive to Whitby and all it has too offer. It is spotlessly clean, has a well-equipped kitchen, a comfortable Lounge, a very comfortable bed upstairs and ensuite with a great hot shower. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it to anyone.
