Property information

Centrally placed and just a stone’s throw from Whitby’s vibrant harbourside, Thimble Cottage is a beautiful property with charm in abundance. Pre-dating the 17th century, this mid-terrace holiday home is grade II listed and likely to have been a former doctor’s residence. Quirky and characterful, the property is set over three floors and sleeps up to four guests. The perfect retreat for couples or family staycations, Thimble Cottage will leave you with memories to treasure. Host & Stay are committed to our owners that their homes are protected during bookings. For this reason, we require all of our guests to transfer a Damage Deposit (subject to an administration charge) or, to purchase an Accidental Damage Waiver.

Neighbourhood information

Thimble Cottage is located in the centre of Whitby and you’ll find restaurants, shops and pubs less than a 2-minute walk away. The cottage is located along a small ginnel, which was previously known as Smugglers Yard on the West side of Whitby. Revel in nostalgic charm by heading to Pier Road where you’ll find fun arcades and plenty of fish restaurants. Continue on to the Blue Flag West Cliff beach and promenade. The other side of Whitby is full of narrow, medieval streets dotted with boutiques and pubs. 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.
