1 bedroom accommodation in Whitby
Retaining charm and character harking back to its humble past as a fisherman’s cottage, Hidden Gem is the perfect place to enjoy a romantic break.. Ground Floor:
Bedroom: Double (4ft 6in) Bed. Gas central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Welcome pack. . 2 small dogs welcome. There is no parking at the cottage but on road parking is available nearby in Zone W permit parking areas of the town. Complimentary scratchcard for permit parking for 1 car is included, unfortunately spaces cannot be reserved or guaranteed. No smoking... Hidden Gem is a truly fantastic holiday home offering lovingly furnished accommodation, situated in the heart of the beautiful coastal town of Whitby. Aptly named this renovated fisherman’s cottage is on Rose and Crown Yard and it is indeed the jewel in the crown. Set over three floors, on the top floor is the double bedroom with views over the town. On the first floor you will find the cosy living room, with comfortable seating in front of the large Smart TV and the feature electric fire. There is also a modern spacious shower room. On the ground floor is a well-equipped kitchen with an open plan dining area, where you will find another Smart TV so you can enjoy your favourite TV shows over a delicious home cooked meal. The stairs are steep and may not be suitable for the less mobile visitor. The perfect choice for couples looking for a romantic break away together. The courtyard leads out to an array of shops and independent cafés as well as some good traditional pubs and wine bars. Everything is within walking distance.
Whitby is popular all year round, drawing guests from all over the world with its picturesque views and its fascinating history. The coastline is spectacular and forms part of the Cleveland Way walk that passes through Whitby and down to its final destination in Filey, all 109 miles, great for those who love the great outdoors and rambling. Just along the coastline there is a choice of stunning beaches, some of them award-winning, including Sandsend which you can walk to from Whitby’s main beach at low tide. One of the draws to Whitby is its interesting history, being the home of Dracula who arrived by ship on Tate Hill beach according to Bram Stoker’s novel. Captain Cook sailed from Whitby on his voyages to discover Australia, New Zealand and Hawaii, you can visit the museum or the replica of his ship, the Endeavour, in the harbour which houses an exhibition and restaurant. Over the centuries Whitby has been a flourishing fishing town, you can sample some of the locally caught fish from many of the independent fishmongers. If you are looking for the perfect location to create memories with a special someone, then look no further, you are sure to be delighted. Beach ¼ mile. Shop and restaurant 50 yards, pub 5 yards.

Hidden Gem truly lives up to its name! Situated down a quiet private passage in the centre of Whitby
Hidden Gem truly lives up to its name! Situated down a quiet private passage in the centre of Whitby. We could not find any fault. The cottage is spotlessly clean, comfortable and had everything we and our dog needed. The owner is easy to contact if you have any queries and provides the most wonderful welcome pack! One of the best we have stayed in.

What an amazing cottage and host.
What an amazing cottage and host. We visited for our 25th Wedding Anniversary and Helen decorated the cottage beautifully and with a cake! The location is perfect for visiting the town with excellent food and pubs within an easy walking distance. There's plenty to do in the area, we'd highly recommend Cranberry Swamp for breakfast, Beer O'clock (30 seconds from the cottage) and The Green Dragon for excellent beer. The Whitby brewery is well worth the walk up the steps and finally the Magpie for fish and chips!We'll definitely be back!
