Chance Escapes
Absolutely perfect stay. The house is such a great size and layout, especially for a family. Great sized garden for children & everyone kept happy with so many televisions...! Some really good and helpful recommendations of things to do for the children. Overall, not a single negative or complaint I can think of!

Seaview Retreat Crimdon Dene
Beautiful caravan and very clean. Looks exactly like the photos. Well decorated and little extras. really helpful things like salt and vinegar and shower gel. right on the sea front with a 10 walk to get feet on the sand. Beach was amazing really peaceful and lovely sunrise view. A lovely few days stay 💚

Durham lodge North Yorkshire
Lovely, clean, spacious lodge in a lovely setting with a perfectly placed hot tub. The lodge meet all our requirements. Plenty of storage space, extra bedding provided and all the essentials. Highly recommended.

Forget-me-not Cottage with Sea & Countryside views
Lisa and Graham were exceptionally friendly from the start, but allowed us our privacy while we were there. Lovely touch having local biscuits and milk on arrival. Linen and towels in the bedrooms were lovely and fresh. The water is supplied from a local spring, and was delicious, and power from solar panels. The view from the kitchen/lounge was amazing - cute goats, sheep and donkeys just outside the door, and views over the hills to the sea. Watching the sunrise was lovely. The "Scratching Post" games room was fun, with fresh eggs and drinks available to buy and a pool table. Bring 50p coins! Really close to lots of walks - either straight from the door to Boggle Hole, or a short drive from Falling Foss with a beckside forest walk. Close enough to drive to Whitby for fish and chips, or Thorpe Stores in Fylingthorpe for a fresh bacon buttie from the friendly local shop. We'd love to come back and stay again.

Hidden Family Farm Paradise- near York & the Coast
This is perfect for anyone who just wants to be out the way with no one around it was definitely what we needed! The kids loved going out and seeing the horses and the place was just beautiful inside and out. Would love to have a reason to come back again. My partner had a stroke in July so struggles in places too busy so he was in his element here 🥰

Bel air The hideaway
Second time staying here and loved it, so handy to everywhere and had everything we needed😀

Stunning Accommodation surrounded by Countryside
Had a lovely stay in Ripon. The house was just as described, very clean and in a great location, within easy walking distance of the market square, and also for walks along the river. We had no problems parking - only once having to park around the corner rather than outside the property. Would recommend.

Sunrise & Seaview Exclusive area . No 8 The Sands
Another lovely stay in Rachel's luxury caravan away from all the hustle and bustle, we have now stayed four times in the past twelve months and never once had a problem thank you rachel from Ian and Christine.

Your guide to Whitby
Introduction
Gothic charm abounds in this north Yorkshire fishing port — so much so that Bram Stoker set the final scene of Dracula here. With its abbey ruins, narrow cobbled streets, and spectacular cliffs, it’s no wonder Whitby has inspired so many ghost stories. Clinging to the coast between the North Yorkshire moors and the North Sea, just north of Scarborough, the town combines quaint 18th-century charm with rugged tenacity; its maritime history includes whaling and even exploring (there’s a monument to Captain Cook, who began his career here). There’s an old-world feel to Whitby’s seaside, a world of donkey rides, sandcastles, cottages, and fish and chips. And at the end of the day, it’s a great place from which to explore England’s wildest coast.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Whitby
Watch out for the winds on the North Yorkshire coast — they’re liable to blow you around a bit. It’s worth packing plenty of warm gear, no matter the season. Layers, light coats, and a waterproof jacket or poncho are essential, especially if you’re planning on doing some walking: It rains here just as much in the summer as it does in the winter, and sometimes more. Temperatures climb to an average high of 62 degrees Fahrenheit in July and August and drop to an average low of 42 degrees in January and February. April and May tend to be the driest months.
Top things to do in Whitby
Whitby Abbey
These haunting Gothic ruins date back to the 7th century, and the abbey was operational until Henry VIII’s dissolution of the monasteries, 900 years later. Come for the creep factor (the abbey is said to be haunted), but stay for the sweeping views of the majestic North Sea.
Robin Hood’s Bay
A three-hour scenic walk from Whitby takes you along a stunning section of the North Yorkshire Heritage Coast and deposits you in a picturesque fishing village packed with colorful pubs and cafes, as well as a dog-friendly beach. Explore the beach’s many rock pools — you might come across an ancient fossil if you’re lucky.
Church of St Mary
This 12th-century parish church, situated high upon a cliff overlooking the mouth of the River Esk, is interesting enough, but it’s the stairs up to its graveyard that are the must-visit. They’re the 199 steps made famous at the denouement of Dracula: the vampire himself ran up them in the shape of a black dog.
