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 little cottage, very quiet and only a few minutes walk to the coast path, to either Whitby or Robin Hoods Bay - Cinder Track also can be walked to from the cottage as well, a bit more of a walk across fields & a short road walk but no problem if you are a regular walker.

Wonderful Cottage

The cottage is beautifully located, down a long track taking you through a farm. The house itself was gorgeous, with a lovely view of the sea and a gaggle of friendly cows who came to the fence every day.The facilities were all really good. The house felt very clean and modern and everything was just perfect.We enjoyed our stay very much and we would definitely come back.

Fabulous location and beautiful cottage

We loved our stay here, the cottage was spotless and the furnishings were lovely. Log fire was a bonus. We walked directly from thr cottage onto the cliff path to walk to Robin Hoods Bay and were amazed to see an incredible pod of dolphins swimming past, which made our week! Great location just a few minutes from the Abbey. Would highly recommend.

Peace and Tranquillity

The photos do not do it justice. It’s a charming, very cosy, home with everything you need to relax. Hidden away from the hustle and bustle but near enough to the main town of Whitby. We walked everyday enjoying excellent weather and superb surroundings. The parking is ideal, next to the cottage. It’s one property without ifs/buts and we’ll certainly be back
