Whitby, a charming seaside town in North Yorkshire, has recently been named one of the UK’s top seaside destinations. With its picturesque views and rich history, it’s no wonder visitors flock to this coastal gem. One hidden gem in Whitby is 5 Oystons Yard, a former fisherman’s cottage tucked away in the heart of the town. This charming three-story holiday home offers a perfect retreat for families and their furry friends.
Upon arrival, guests are greeted with a modern interior that beautifully complements the traditional exposed beams of the cottage. The cozy living room and kitchen provide a relaxing space to unwind after a day of exploring the town. The property is equipped with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay, including a stylish kitchen and a luxurious bathroom with a walk-in shower.
One of the highlights of staying at 5 Oystons Yard is its convenient location. Situated within walking distance to the seafront, the historical clifftop graveyard, and Whitby Abbey, guests can easily explore the town on foot. A short walk away is the famous 199 steps, offering stunning views of the abbey and the picturesque harbor below.
In addition to its scenic beauty, Whitby is also known for its connection to Bram Stoker’s Dracula novel. Visitors can immerse themselves in the town’s gothic history by visiting the Dracula Experience and exploring the Captain Cook Memorial Museum. For Harry Potter fans, a visit to Goathland train station, which served as Hogsmeade in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, is a must-see.
During our stay at 5 Oystons Yard, we enjoyed leisurely walks on the beach with our dog, indulged in Whitby’s famous fish and chips, and browsed through the charming shops along the cobbled streets. Climbing the 199 steps to catch the breathtaking views from the top was a highlight of our trip, showcasing why Whitby has been recognized as one of Britain’s most beautiful coastal towns.
Whether you’re looking for a relaxing beach getaway or an adventure-filled holiday, Whitby has something to offer for everyone.
