The atmospheric Grade II listed Whitby Theatre House offers 8 guests a superb comfortable base in the very heart of the wonderful, historic town of Whitby. This fabulous, characterful townhouse retains gorgeous original features and has been renovated to an extremely high standard. Whitby Theatre House was formally a famous theatre dating back to 1775 and oozes charm and appeal.
Famous for the striking Gothic ruins of Whitby Abbey and the delicious fish and chips of The Magpie Cafe, Whitby is a very attractive town with quirky narrow streets, a bustling harbour and lovely beaches. It is no surprise why Whitby is so popular and this historic house, particularly, a huge hit with guests.
The four-storey Whitby Theatre House is deceptively spacious and perfect for a large family or group of friends. With wonderful sash windows and high ceilings throughout, the rooms spill light everywhere, and there are fabulous Whitby rooftop views from the top floor. The lower ground floor is home to an outstanding open plan kitchen and dining room and a separate utility room. The modern kitchen is huge. It is extremely well equipped and perfect for gourmet dining. You even have a wine fridge!
Upstairs on the ground floor, the comfortable lounge is rather grand with a fabulous, atmospheric open fire as well as a smart TV. This townhouse is packed with features including chandeliers and gorgeous ceiling cornicing.
Handpicked furnishings and accessories complete this luxurious accommodation. There is a separate snug and TV room, perfect if you have guests wanting a little of their own space for a quiet read or teenagers wanting to game on the PS2.
Two of the tastefully decorated, lavish bedrooms are on the first floor. One offers a kingsize bed and a contemporary ensuite bathroom with a bath. The other boasts a kingsize bed and has use of a separate private shower room. Throughout the house, eye-catching decorative items will make you smile. There are Singer sewing machine bookends, maritime clocks and an ancient safe. There is a seaside theme too amongst the artwork and soft furnishings. The level of attention to detail is impressive. It is clear that this is a much-loved home.
On the second floor, you will find two gorgeous bedrooms with charming sloping ceilings, one with a double bed and the other with twin beds. There is also an outstanding bathroom to share where you can soak in luxury in the freestanding bath. It really calls for a glass of bubbles!
Whitby Theatre House also boasts a private enclosed courtyard and south-facing patio area with views over the town where you can relax, enjoy a cup of coffee and watch the world go by. Teenagers will be delighted to find the small games room with table football.
Whitby is definitely a town that offers something more than your typical coastal seaside resort. There is more to Whitby than meets the eye! It is famous for its connections to Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Captain Cook. It boasts a Gothic culture with quirky narrow cobbled streets, independent shops and the ruins of Whitby Abbey overlooking the town. There is a monument to Captain James Cook up on West Cliff where he is looking out to sea. You can also visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum and learn more about his life and time in Whitby.
Expect to encounter a hill or two, not to mention the 199 steps to the abbey and St Mary’s Church. There are plenty of excellent restaurants. Of particular note is the famous Magpie.
Cafe. It is quirky with numerous levels and offers many seafood dishes and the traditional fish and chips.
You can enjoy classic seaside fun with crabbing, sandcastle building and walks along the pier, not to mention the amusement arcades. Just along from the main town and harbour, you will find the lovely sandy beaches of Sandsend and Runswick Bay. Sandsend was originally two villages, Sandsend and East Row.
Six miles south of Whitby is the picturesque old fishing village of Robin Hood’s Bay. It is beautiful with a sandy beach, rock pools, ancient fossils, narrow twisting cobbled streets and alleyways. You can easily imagine the fishermen and smugglers walking the streets hundreds of years ago. It is quite easy to get lost in the little warren of lanes lined with old fisherman’s cottages. Most have now been renovated. The village is buzzy with a good range of cafes, pubs and restaurants, and charming, unique shops.
Staithes is also an unmissable village to explore. It clings to the hillside and boasts winding cobbled streets, 18th-century cottages and characterful pubs. This fabulous coastal village was once one the largest fishing ports in the North East, but now it is a wonderful hillside gem perfect for exploring Yorkshire’s clifftop paths and the rock pools on the small sandy beach.
There are many stunning coastal and country walks, cycle paths and 800km of bridleways close to Whitby. You will be amazed at the peaceful and tranquil countryside of the North York Moors National Park.
