The space
Appleton house has been in our family since it was first built, it has recently undergone extensive modernisation and we are very proud to be able to offer stays in our locally owned and privately run holiday cottage.

On the ground floor of the cottage is a spacious kitchen area with sparkly quartz countertops, oven, ceramic hob, microwave, kettle, toaster, an integrated fridge with freezer box, and an integrated dishwasher.
This leads through to the light and spacious dining and lounge area, with windows on three sides, there is a view from every area of this room! There is bench seating round the dining table, a comfortable sofa and 2 tub chairs.
The beautiful full height french doors which benefit from a glass Juliet balcony over the sand are quite breathtaking! And the large north facing window allows amazing views of the North Sea... should you tire of this view, this is also the home of a smart TV with freesat, an amazon echo dot, a selection of books and games.
Free WiFi is available throughout the cottage.
There is also a WC shower room on this ground floor.

Stairs lead to two bedrooms both with double beds, one of which has the same sea views as downstairs.
A further staircase leads to the upper bedroom, again with a double bed, which has a sloped ceiling really adding to the character of the space.
All bedrooms have lamps, bedside tables, clothes hanging rails, amazon echo shows for use as alarm clocks, radios, and other useful information.
There is also a shower room on the top level which has the benefit of mirrored glazing allowing an amazing view of the harbour and sea whilst also offering privacy.

Guests have full and private use of the cottage. There is no outside space, but the beach is literally on your doorstep! And there are plenty of benches located on the pier should you wish to sit outside.

Other things to note
Unfortunately the location, access and layout of the cottage means it is not suitable for people with mobility restrictions.
We are unable to offer any parking, please see the parking guide for information about parking in the town. Vehicle access to the cottage is very limited.. and impossible during the daytime. If you are using sat-nav to access the cottage in your vehicle it may direct you to the top of the 199 steps... you can NOT get your vehicle to the cottage this route.
You can only drive near the cottage via the cobbled stretch of church street for loading and unloading, and we do not recommend doing this during the day time due to the street being pedestrianised. There is strictly no parking on this stretch of the street.
The cottage is strictly no smoking or vaping, maximum 4 guests, and we do not allow pets.
Unfortunately we can not host children under age 10 years of age as per our property safety risk assessment, and strictly NO parties - We kindly ask guests to please keep noise to a minimum between 10pm and 7am to avoid disturbing the attached properties.

Neighborhood highlights

Appleton house really is beach side! The door is seconds away from Tate Hill pier and beach, the foot of the 199 steps which lead to Whitby abbey, and the cobbles of Church street which are the home to numerous shops, bars and eateries. The location is perfectly tucked away from the crowds during the busy times whilst also being in the heart of it. Whitby is not a big town, and everything is within easy walking distance of the cottage, whether you prefer exploring the coastline, browsing in the local independent shops, learning the history of this famous fishing port, take a trip on the North Yorkshire moors railway heritage diesel or steam trains and explore the scenic moors (perfect treat for train enthusiasts), or take a trip out to sea on one of the local pleasure boats.
Whitby also offers some fantastic eateries, so much more than just fish and chips!

What makes my home unique: The beach side location & wonderful view
We’ve been lucky enough to live in Whitby all our lives. We love where we live, and enjoy being able to share our town with visitors. We have two lovely cottages located right next to the beach, both with superb sea and harbour views!
