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.

Mrs E. Huntingdon.

A perfect cottage for two. It was very clean and well equipped , excellent location. This was our second visit to this cottage and I'm sure there will be a third! The view is one of the best.

Mrs H. Doncaster

Chilled break, central location, comfortable and clean holiday home. As described.

Mrs E. Manchester.

The Old Curiosity Shop is beautifully decorated with a lovely kitchen and amazing views of the Abbey. Great central location will definitely book again next time we visit Whitby. The staff at Shoreline Cottages were extremely helpful allowing an earlier check in.
