Neighborhood
Morse Cottage is located in the centre of Whitby and you’ll find restaurants, shops and pubs less than a 5-minute walk away.

The cottage is located on the West side of the seaside town making it perfect for reveling in nostalgic seaside charm - head to the arcades or explore the beautiful, blue flag West Cliff Beach which is lined with idyllic beach huts.

Venture over the swing bridge and you’ll reach the East bank. This side of Whitby is full of narrow, medieval streets dotted with boutiques, pubs and fish restaurants. Climb the famous 199 steps up to the Church of Saint Mary. You can also discover the renowned ruined Whitby Abbey, which was the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s gothic novel ‘Dracula’.

Step outside of Whitby and you’ll uncover a haven of woodland and moorland. Whitby forms part of the North York Moors National Park so it’s the perfect place for long walks.

Getting Around
Whitby train station is a two minute walk from the cottage so villages and towns along the North Yorkshire coast can easily be reached via rail. There’s also a taxi rank in close proximity to the train station.

There are plenty of bus routes throughout Whitby. Hop on the X4 and you can visit beautiful coastal villages like Sandsend, Runswick Bay and Staithes. The X93 travels along the coast to Scarborough. The 95 route features plenty of quaint villages, such as Grosmont and Lealholm.

This is a spacious and very comfortable house with that most precious Whitby asset- private parking for two large cars. The lounge kitchen was very well equipped, immaculately clean and very comfortable for four (or more adults). The two double rooms were of a great size, both with ensuite shower rooms. The twin again was large and had its own bathroom, with a shower over the bath. There was a small patio area. The location was excellent, very close to the town centre, yet down a quiet lane so quiet and private.<br/><br/>Nothing.

Everything was perfect, we had a lovely stay in Whitby. The cottage was wonderful and location spot on. The host went above and beyond with a lovely welcome basket of goodies for the family to enjoy. We will definitely be back and will tell all our friends about this fantastic cottage. 10/10.

Everything you could imagine was catered for.<br/><br/>The sink in the attic bedroom could do with being a bit bigger.

Everything. We have stayed at a number of properties in Whitby but this is by far the best. Everything you need for a relaxing break. Homely and comfortable. Lovely little touches throughout. Brilliant location with the bonus of off street parking. Hosts really helpful and contactable. Can’t wait to return.<br/><br/>Nothing.

Cottage was amazing,really clean, comfortable and lots of little touches like the welcome box-local biscuits, chocolates, coffee pods and milk ready for arrival. Location was perfect, just a few minutes walk from centre of town and beach front, had views of Abbey from upstairs windows and patio. Host came to welcome us and gave lots of useful advice. Had fantastic stay and would certainly use again.<br/><br/>Nothing

No expense spared here! The beds were lovely and comfortable, the decor and furnishings were all very nice, a fully equipped kitchen. A bathroom for each bedroom. LOCATION! was fab! Off street parking for 2 cars (much needed in busy whitby) the hosts were very friendly and always on hand, not that we needed them for anything.<br/><br/>We loved everything!

Enjoyed our stay in Morse Cottage. There was a good amount of space for 4 adults and 2 children. Easy access into Whitby town on foot. We made use of all kitchen amenities and washing machine.<br/>The parking space was tight for two large vehicles but much appreciated.

A home from home. Excellent location with the bonus of off street parking. We will definitely use this cottage and look at staying at other properties belonging to Vitty Cottages in the future.<br/><br/>Nothing to dislike with this property.

Tucked away in a quiet location yet only 5 minutes from the station and Whitby centre. Morse Cottage is beautifully appointed with everything you could require; 3 bathrooms plus a downstairs toilet, even a radio in each room. The kitchen is exceedingly well stocked with plenty of high end crockery and cutlery, there's even a bag of picnic tableware. The welcome box was very much appreciated! Definitely would recommend this holiday venue.

Beatiful house in a great location! Lovely decoration and little touches like picnic things provided and a lovely welcome hamper. Only 5 minutes walk to the harbour and useful to be able to park outside the house. Owners were helpful when hot water stopped working.<br/>I would definitely recommend this as a place to stay in whitby!

Superb house, a true home from home experience. Lovely welcome pack and very attentive host, who accommodated our extra visitors by providing extra chairs and a parking space. Cannot fault the luxury or location. Would definitely recommend this company and cottage.

Morse Cottage as advertised and stay was lovely, high standard of fixtures and fittings. Owner popped in to cover issue with lights fusing which was no problem. Only comment would be about the rental company Host n Stay, not the most responsive communication, also my number was passed to a third party to verify my identity by submitting photo ID. I wasn’t keen on providing copies of sensitive documents so queried this and was eventually told it was optional but it didn’t stop the company badgering me via text over a number of days which I wasn’t keen on.

Genuinely the best cottage we have ever rented. It was brand new and fitted to a great standard. We couldn’t have asked for anything more, everything we needed was already there and more! Excellent & we will be back! X
