Description

Discover what’s behind the shop front façade of this beautifully renovated Grade II listed building. Old Curiosity Shop dates back to 1654 and was once an emporium selling ammonite brooches, jet and fine antique china to the pleasure seekers of Victorian Whitby. Today the three-storey holiday cottage is one of the finest on the West Side offering contemporary living for couples.

Enter straight into the spacious kitchen and you’ll be drawn to the Yorkshire cast iron open range. We love the well-thought-out Shaker styling that provides ample food prep and dining space, a washer /dryer and dishwasher – everything to make your life easy.

Climb the stairs to the lounge to catch a glimpse of the sea and views across to Whitby Abbey from all floor levels. It’s a relaxing lounge with a large comfy sofa, Freeview SKY TV, free WiFi and another period fireplace - although the modern central heating will keep you cosy! You'll also find a small bathroom on this floor.

The second floor bedroom is up the winding staircase. There’s a double bed and space for a cot or z-bed. The generous en suite has a bath big enough for two as well as a shower attachment. If you’re looking for a romantic, pet-friendly cottage in Whitby this should pique your interest.

Mr W. Leeds.

A one bedroom cottage which was really well prepared ,very clean and we really enjoyed staying there for a long weekend

Mrs L. Glossop

We stayed at curiosity place. It was a great place for 2 people and dog. Good location to the shops, harbour and the beach. Kitchen and the house was well equipped with a nice contemporary finish and spacious layout and clean. Don’t forget the bubble bath for the amazing huge bath ! Service was excellent. Person came within 30 minutes to fix front door handle. Would highly recommend the cottage and the shoreline cottages who we booked it with.

Mrs R. Wirral.

Great location and uninterrupted view of Abbey and church on East Cliff. Everything is lovely and clean and kept to a high standard.
