The space The Corner House is a Grade 2 listed, self catering cottage, situated on the corner (unsurprisingly) of Grape Lane and Church Street, in the very heart of the old town of Whitby in North Yorkshire. Our brilliant, harbourside location means that there are no hills or steps to negotiate to get to our cottage, unlike a lot of properties in Whitby, which makes us ideal for families with small children or older family members. This prime position also affords the property fabulous views of the Harbour and up the Esk Valley from every room (except the bathroom!). During the summer months you can see the smoke from the steam engines of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, as they come and go from the Station just across the river. The cottage is surrounded by excellent shops, restaurants and pubs, although the old walls and secondary glazing mean that there is surprisingly little noise inside the property, even with all the hustle and bustle outside. The Captain Cook museum is approximately 30 metres away from the property, so you've got a wealth of history almost literally on your doorstep and the 199 steps are just a short stroll away, as is the most famous restaurant in Whitby, The Magpie. The cottage is family friendly with a large, open plan, kitchen/dining/living area. Unfortunately, we have decided not to provide a travel cot any more but we do still have a high chair, baby gate, toddler toilet seat and potty. All bedding and towels are supplied for your stay and the gorgeously comfy beds, with their fabulous, oversized duvets will be made up ready for you to climb into at the end of your exciting first day, so you have more time to explore everything that Whitby has to offer! The shower room has a large shower enclosure (big enough for two, should that take your fancy!) as well as a toilet and hand basin, which is a large vintage one. There are TV/DVD's (with Freeview) in each bedroom, together with touch lamps, dressing tables and plenty of storage. They're also tastefully decorated (as is the rest of the cottage) with art and mirrors on the walls. There is a washer/drier, fridge with freezer compartment, separate drinks cooler, ceramic hob, cast iron stove style electric fire and free, fast, Wi-Fi for your exclusive use. If the weather isn't as good as it could be, the cottage has a TV/DVD, with Freeview, in the lounge area, together with a selection of toys, games, books and DVDs to entertain you and the kids, as well as an MP3/DAB radio/CD player for all your favourite tunes. I don't live in Whitby (more's the pity) but will be on hand via email/text/telephone before, during and after your stay for any queries or questions you may have, so please don't wait until you get home to tell me of any issues, as I won't then be able to do anything about them (and yes, some guests do, for some reason!). After you have booked with us, I will be in contact to obtain more information to complete your booking and to ensure that we comply with our insurance and fire regulation requirements, which are needed as soon as possible. Some of this information is also used to provide you with all of the access information you will need. I will also contact you, usually a fortnight before your stay with us starts, with driving directions, additional information on great eating and drinking establishments, parking places etc. but if you need anything else, please don't hesitate to ask and I'll do my best to provide it. Whitby, in April and October becomes the home of the Goths! This world famous festival attracts visitors from every corner of the UK and the globe, who come to experience a truly unique mixture of music, culture, dress and lifestyle for a whole weekend. It truly is a 'not to be missed' event, so all available accommodation does get booked many months in advance. This isn't the only thing Whitby is famous for however, as it hosts 'must visit' festivals and themed weekends throughout the year - from soul and folk to fishing and the regatta! Guest access Guests have access to the whole house - except the loft (but there's only draughts (and maybe ghosts* ) up there!) * there are no ghosts! Other things to note Whitby isn't a party town - things close fairly early - especially restaurants! That's what makes it so chilled out. During busier periods it would be wise to make reservations, if you're planning on eating out, as the best places get booked up quickly.
