Sunstar Cottage
Located in the Fishburn Park area of Whitby, named after the shipbuilder whose yard created Captain Cook’s famous ships, this is a beautiful Victorian house which has been beautifully furnished throughout. Stepping inside on the ground floor you are welcomed into the open plan living room with a dining area, this is a spacious social space where you can spend your evenings together, enjoying home cooked meals or takeaways whilst planning the events for the days ahead. It has a real home from home feel, with lots of thoughtful personal touches as well as being very well equipped for a self-catering stay. The galley kitchen is well laid out and has everything you could desire for creating your favourite dishes, perhaps using freshly caught local seafood for something extra special.
Up on the first floor you have the master king sized bedroom complete with drawers and a wardrobe, a TV as well as an en-suite shower. There is also a second double bedroom on this floor, again with a TV, plus a wardrobe and bedside drawers. The bathroom has a shower over the bath and there is another separate toilet, providing you with three toilets in total. On the top floor you have two single bedrooms under the eaves with Velux windows, both are complete with drawers and wardrobes, so in each room you have plenty of storage for your belongings, ideal for a longer stay. Outside is a small, enclosed patio with outside seating, plus a small front enclosed patio with a table and chairs.
You are only a two-minute walk away from the nearest chippy, as well as a friendly sports bar and local shop, as well as a nearby playground for young children. The location of Sunstar is ideal for exploring Whitby, the town centre with an abundance of coffee shops, eateries, traditional pubs, and the famous swing bridge are just a short stroll away. On the old side of the town across the harbour you have the famous 199 steps up to the abbey, where Bram Stoker’s beast fled the shipwreck in the novel ‘Dracula’, as well as the sandy Tate Hill Beach. On this side of the harbour the town is more modern, with arcades to entertain children as well as trendy bars and restaurants. Here the beach stretches for miles, as far as the beautiful little village of Sandsend, with golden sand, rock pools and fossil hunting to enjoy. Captain Cook’s replica ship, the Endeavour, is moored up in Whitby; you also have steam trains winding their way through the surrounding North York Moors National Park. There is always something happening in Whitby, from Goth festivals to live music and regattas. Keep an eye on the busy year-round calendar to see what’s happening during your holiday.
For those who want to venture further, there are many hidden gems along the Yorkshire Coast, from picturesque Runswick Bay to Staithes, each with its own story of piracy and smugglers. The famous Cleveland Way hiking trail snakes along the coastline, and the Cinder Track drops down into Robin Hood’s Bay for a leisurely stroll; or hop onto a boat for the chance glimpse the dolphins and seals that frequent our coastline. Nearby Scarborough is a traditional seaside resort and has many attractions for families including a waterpark, Sea Life Centre and Peasholm Park, as well as the two large bays. Further afield is the theme park, Flamingo Land, and the walled city of York with its Jorvik Viking Centre, the National Railway Museum, minster and a myriad of shops and bars.
