Gulls Cry Cottage is a stunning luxury 17th-century detached holiday home located in Whitby, North Yorkshire. Set in a prime yet peaceful spot on the west side of town, it’s just a two-minute stroll from the bustling harbour, where guests can enjoy wine bars, restaurants and charming pubs.
Built in 1660, the cottage has been refurbished to an exceptionally high standard and is refreshed each spring to ensure everything is in perfect condition for the new season. Great pride is taken in the maintenance of Gulls Cry.
Inside, the lounge features original beams, an antique oak fire surround with a cosy log-burning stove, oak flooring and all internal oak doors. Entertainment includes a 43" LED TV, a sound bar with subwoofer and unlimited Wi-Fi throughout the property. The three bedrooms include two doubles and one twin, all furnished with elegant mahogany sleigh beds and each with its own Freeview TV and Wi-Fi access. The bathroom is finished with stylish Travertine stone tiling and includes a designer bath and shower.
Outside, the cottage is set within a quiet private courtyard that includes rattan dining furniture, a cosy summer house and a brick-built BBQ, an outdoor space that’s especially popular with returning guests, as it’s a rare find among Whitby cottages. With all modern comforts, characterful features and a location that blends privacy with easy access to local attractions, Gulls Cry Cottage is the perfect base for a memorable stay in Whitby.
Whitby is perfectly situated for walking and exploring nearby towns and coastal resorts, making it an ideal destination for a variety of getaways. The town is watched over by the striking 13th-century abbey ruins perched on the cliff top, offering breathtaking views of the harbour below. The twin piers stretching from the harbour have been fully restored and are now open for walking, fishing, or simply enjoying the sea air. For those looking to get out on the water, private charters offer boat fishing trips directly from the harbour. Gulls Cry Cottage makes an ideal base for cyclists, nature lovers and walkers, with a private courtyard that provides secure storage for bicycles and a peaceful spot to unwind after a day of exploring.
