 Whitby has lots to see and do within walking distance of 'Due South' which has dedicated free parking - a rarity in Whitby. Whitby is where Captain James Cook trained as a seaman and where his boats Discovery, Endeavour and Resolution were built at the ship yard (now a car park that can be seen in the views from the accommodation here - click view from front windows). Whitby is also where Bram Stoker had his inspiration for his novel 'Dracula', also the dates for Easter were settled at Whitby Abbey. There are lots of tangible remains of these facts still in Whitby, a town that has changed little for hundreds of years. Robin Hoods Bay is a short drive and/or a more leisurely bus ride away (given the parking problems there). Or for the more active walker or cyclist the next call on the well known 'Cleveland Way'. Finally in our opinion it has the best traditional Fish and Chips in the world.  | Comfortable & Attractive Self Catering Holiday Let in Whitby, North Yorkshire. 'Due South' is the attic on the house in the picture, it is a quiet and relaxing space with self catering facilities for 3 and can be rented for between £325 - £475 per week. 2012 Please see Rates & Availability for more information. The two bedroomed accommodation is within short walking distances of the town, the ruins of Whitby Abbey, St Mary's Church, Whitby Harbour / Eating Places and the many traditional Whitby Pubs. This self catering holiday accommodation in the attic of the house was originally the servants quarters (and latterly a jet workshop) in the ‘Old Manor House’ built circa 1740 by Sir Adam Boulby who owned the now defunct tenements that formed ‘Boulby Bank’ and the footpath that takes you down and back from the harbour and town. You will be able to park on the drive (One car only) and reach the accommodation via its own dedicated door. Due to the construction of the attic (structural timbers of the house roof) you will understand that there is a no smoking no candles policy. Sadly we do not allow pets. Please note THAT THE STAIRS are quite steep and narrow (not regulation) and are not suitable for infirm and less than reasonably agile people.(see pictures on website)The proprietors Tom and Sybil Brown live in the main house Tel: 01947 600884 |
