This stunning three bedroom apartment, dating back to the 17th Century, boasts a prime location on the cobbled Church Street in Whitby’s atmospheric Old Town, close to the famous 199 steps and many quaint shops, tea rooms and restaurants.
Families and friends will fall in love with the old world charm of this stylish property and its environs.
Approach via a flagged courtyard. A staircase leads to a delightful kitchen with dining area, a lovely spot to enjoy lazy breakfasts and chat about your plans for the day.
The kitchen leads to an inner hallway which in turn leads to a spacious sitting room. The beamed ceiling, original wooden floors and fireplace, as well as some lovely antique furniture, create a marvellous sense of history. Relax in comfort and imagine the place in times gone by. From the window, there’s even a glimpse of the harbour and sea.
To the upper floor is a gorgeous, light-drenched king-sized double bedroom with en-suite shower room with double shower, basin and WC. Luxury and period features abound, with a decorative original fireplace, two sash windows and stylish wooden floor.
There are two twin bedrooms with full size 3′ beds. The rooms are tastefully decorated to create a tranquil feel, with smart roman blinds and cosy carpets.
The house shower room has a corner shower, basin and WC.
Whitby’s iconic Abbey and St Mary’s Church are in the immediate vicinity. Meander over the swing bridge into the harbour and take a coastal cruise to see Whitby a different way.
The pretty fishing villages of Staithes and Robin Hood’s Bay are within easy reach. A steam train ride from Whitby to Grosmont across the stunning North York Moors is a must. Further afield, history lovers will be enchanted with Castle Howard, location for ‘Brideshead Revisted’ and, more recently, ITV’s ‘Victoria’.
Foresters is a charming cottage in a coastal town that simply oozes history.

Four days family of 6 including 2 children and a deerhound. Bigger than you think inside felt like a large spacious home. Gorgeous original staircase set in a lovely hallway ideal for dog, coats, bags etc.. main downside because of sloping old floors one twin room has uneven bed leg that's about to break. Wall damaged. Take ear plugs centre of town church bells seagulls and bin men.

I was traveling with two 85 year old women. The two flights of stairs were narrow and steep.
There was no information in the listing about the stairs or the uneven floors that were tripping hazzards.
The location is great!

This cottage is lovely. Has everything u need . Washing machine and dishwasher. Plus having 2 shower rooms is great. Plenty of towels too. We did wash them but needs dryer to fluff them up . Just used airer to dry clothes. Fire in living room is fab. Looks so real but its gas . No issues at all in it . Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will stay again. Thank you
