Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Whitby Beach

What a lovely property and David was a superb host. Beautifully presented, well equipped cottage and spotless throughout. Lovely attention to detail and the prosecco and fudge were much appreciated! A perfect break to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday and we were spoilt with the weather too. We really didn’t want to go home. Many thanks to David, we will be back!

The Coastguards Cottage is in an area of Whitby that we had never visited before. It was full of quaint, narrow cobbled streets with lots of cafes, bakeries, and other shops nearby. The cottage itself is very clean and tidy, and all the fixtures and fittings are of good quality. It's only a short walk downhill to the harbour, where there were lots more shops and restaurants. We were very impressed by the atmosphere and friendliness in the town, and would certainly look to come back some time in the future. So different to Scarborough, with hardly any of the 'seaside tack' shops and slot machine arcades that plague many UK resorts. Out of town, we travelled up the coast to Saltburn, another smaller, but interesting resort. Well worth a visit.

Any less than 5* or a-maz-ing would be doing Jane and Crabapple Cottage a disservice. The neighbours were fabulous too. We had everything we could possibly want in the cottage and looong garden, and more, including the trampoline 😄 Jane was super responsive to questions I raised even when she was out with a friend and immediately set to finding a solution to our mini problem. Settees and bed were very comfortable and our dog was immediately relaxed in the property which was also really important to us. So many places to visit nearby and lots to do, we could have spent way more time there.

1A is a credit to both Ian & Sarra. The property is perfect for 4 adults with each bedroom having it's own bathroom with another WC for emergencies downstairs! The presentation of the property is 1st class with you wanting for nothing. Ian & Sarra really have thought about everything. As an EV driver the ability to charge on site at anytime, at a very reasonable rate, was a bonus. The location was perfect for us, just a 10min stroll to the harbour providing your happy to tackle the Khyber Pass!.. a lot easier than the one in Pakistan!! We have no hesitation in recommending this property and it's location to anyone who wants a relaxing enjoyable stay in Whitby.

We had such a lovely stay. The accommodation is like a home from home, it’s really cosy with a lovely design and little touches. The photos of the garden on the listing don’t do it justice. It’s a large garden area which is fully secure, meaning we didn’t have to worry about our dogs escaping. We were welcomed with some fresh bread and shortbread and there were balls and bowls for the dogs. The location is great for exploring Whitby, Robins hood bay etc. We got some meat from the local butchers and it was delicious! Would recommend going there too. We would love to stay here again! We didn’t want to leave.

Lovely house, clean, tidy and well equipped. Within walking distance of the town centre. Wendy could not have been more helpful and because the cleaning rota could allow, she offered us a late check-out which made all the difference to our weekend stay. Many thanks Wendy.

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The space was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. We really appreciated the little touches that made it feel like a home away from home. The jacuzzi was lovely! The hosts were great at providing us with all the information we needed for a stress free check in/out and a perfect stay. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a mini break. Peacocks were a lovely surprise seeing them walk around the estate. Thanks again!

Had a great stay at Jamie's house, which is spacious and well equipped. It made a pleasant change to do linear walks and catch the bus back. X93/94 Scarborough to Middlesbrough via Whitby. Jamie's communication is excellent with clear instructions for check-in and recommendations of local places to eat and visit. We hope to visit again.

Excellent base for a visit to Whitby. In the heart of the town, while being quiet and private. Well appointed apartment, with everything you need, which is diligently maintained.

Great place to stay in the centre of Whitby

Lovely hosts who were very responsive, the area was very nice as well as the room. Would definitely recommend others to try it out and would certainly not mind staying again!

Stayed for 3 nights and it was amazing! House was so homely and super close to the centre of whitby. Thank you so much we will definitely be back again!

We've already made 2 further bookings - that's how pleased we were with this property! Tim & Michelle are super hosts & easy to deal with. The apartment is comfortable, modern & imaculate. Great location with secure parking. Shops nearby & easy walking distance from the city centre.

We had a great stay, it was everything we wanted for the weekend. Comfortable, clean and cosy. There's a little local shop nearby, garden centre. We walked into Whitby which took about an hour ish, nice walk. The first part is on main roads. We would definitely look at staying again.

Lovely accommodation, only a five minute walk from town centre. Co-op only stones through away around corner. Everything catered for in all rooms. Minimalistic so easy to keep tidy and gather belongings at end. Beds veeeerrrrryy comfy. Host v. Communicative and on the ball with info, including a v. Useful app so everything you need to know is in one place. Also basement allocated parking a bonus. Only thing needed now would be a seagull silencer for bedtime... 🤣

Great place to stay. Quiet while still close to restaurant and cafés. Very much recommended.

the apartment was spotless and absolutely beautiful. Also, it's a perfect location so you can walk anywhere you need to go.

Whitby 14 at The Landings is a great place to stay for a break in Whitby. Good quiet location with own parking space for one car and within 10 minutes walking to the swing bridge area. Accommodation was as expected with good size rooms and all facilities as described. Kitchen had all the expected appliances, but a pity we could not use the dishwasher as no dishwasher tablets had been left. Bottle of wine left for our arrival was nice touch, but it would have been nicer to have been lift a small milk and perhaps a small loaf to get us started. There is a small Morrisons or a larger Sainsburys within a 5 minute drive away. Would definately recommend this accommodation and the location. Found it very annoying that the kitchen door opened outwards into the hall, blocking the passageway and generally getting in the way. Poor flat design no fault of the owners ! Communal areas of the building were clean, but a bit smelly particularly around the entrance door and by the enclosed store.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Shambles Secret. Jenny proved to be a first class host, who went above and beyond to make her guests happy; we cannot thank her enough. The flat was exactly as depicted in the pictures, lovely and cosy and a real home from home. We slept really well, and although the flat is right in the centre of York, it was remarkably quiet. We enjoyed our time in the flat as much as we did sightseeing in fabulous York. Shambles Secret really is right where you want to be, EVERYTHING was within walking distance. We cannot recommend Jenny's place highly enough, and we will definitely return to stay another time. Thanks so much Jenny. Warm Regards Karen & Paul.

Stayed here with a friend Friday-Monday and will definitely be returning! The location is about a 4 minute walk from the centre and is in a great location about 2 minutes walk from the beach. The apartment was absolutely spotless and had everything and more what we needed! It is in a nice, peaceful area where we felt safe and at home. This place is perfect for couples, families and friends. I have absolutely no criticism it was perfect!

We loved our stay … the apartment was comfortable, light & airy with a pretty view out to the garden and the walls of York. Very easy walking distance to everything you would want to see & do in York. Great local restaurants. Could not recommend this apartment enough!!
