About this house rental
Nestled in Whitby, this lovely house for $162 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Summary: Centrally placed and just a stone’s throw from Whitby’s vibrant harbour, Thimble Cottage is a beautiful holiday home with charm in abundance. The perfect retreat for couples and families, you can expect a wonderful stay here. Don’t just take our word for it - Thimble Cottage was recently honoured in the prestigious 2024 European Awards programme as a Travel & Hospitality Winner! Highlighting Thimble Cottage’s commitment to excellence and exceptional service, you'll have a retreat to remember. The Space: 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. Upon entering Thimble Cottage, you’ll be welcomed into the open plan living, dining and kitchen area. Featuring low beamed ceilings, a large Georgian window and a rustic brick statement fireplace, this cosy space has a traditional cottage feel. The kitchen is fully equipped so you can make the most of your self-catering stay. Unwind with your loved ones on the grey sofas or enjoy meals together in the dining area. A winding staircase takes you up to the first floor where you’ll find the master bedroom and family bathroom. The double bedroom has an exposed sandstone feature wall with two double sash windows letting in plenty of light and fresh sea air. Pops of ochre are added in the soft furnishings to create a cohesive look and a truly relaxing feel. The family bathroom features tasteful white metro tiles and exposed beams. The space is complete with a WC, basin and a modern shower enclosure including an invigorating power shower. Take the winding staircase up to the second floor and you’ll discover the expansive twin bedroom. Nautically themed, there are hues of blue with the quirky shaped chimney breast strikingly painted in Cook’s Blue. Take a seat at the elevated front window, the perfect vantage point to observe the mast tips of the Endeavour sailing vessel moored in the harbour.
