About this house rental
A traditional 200-year-old fisherman’s cottage set in one of Whitby’s most beautiful and historic old yards, right in the heart of the old town and just a 2-minute walk from the harbour.
Endeavour Cottage sits within a quiet cul-de-sac of just six cottages, facing original historic outhouses. This rare setting gives the property a real sense of peace and space, which can be hard to find in central Whitby. Even on busy days, the yard remains calm and tucked away, with no passing foot traffic — often, the loudest sound is the seagulls.
Despite the peaceful location, you are perfectly placed for exploring Whitby. Shops, restaurants, the harbour, beach, abbey steps and main attractions are all just a short stroll from the entrance to the yard.
The cottage is double-fronted, giving it a more spacious and open feel than many traditional Whitby cottages, while still retaining its original character and charm.
Endeavour Cottage sleeps up to six guests. The main bedroom features a very large and exceptionally comfortable bed with a high-quality mattress and topper. The second bedroom has twin beds, and additional sleeping is available in the lounge on a double sofa bed.
The living space is comfortable and practical, with fast wireless broadband and TVs in the lounge and bedrooms, making the cottage suitable for short breaks, family stays and longer visits.
A free parking permit is provided for West Cliff car park, which is a short walk away. Guests can also briefly stop nearby to unload on arrival. The property is pet-friendly.
Bed linen is provided. Towels are supplied for up to four guests.
This is a traditional period cottage, best suited to guests who appreciate character, history and a unique Whitby setting. It is not a modern hotel-style property, but that is part of its charm.

Property was a lovely cottage but think new mattress is required on one of the single beds as I could feel springs and bed was a bit shaky every time you turned over in the night , and the bed settee downstairs think that needs replacing as the person that slept on that could feel springs we had to put covers over it so it didn’t make it too uncomfortable for them there was underwear left in the wardrobe in the spare room but other than that all good

Great location easy access really cosy property. Only one issue with tge listing is that it states it is a 3 bed with one bedroom being a double. One with two singles and one with a futon. There was only two bedrooms and the other bed was a bed settee in the front room which is not what we wanted and as there was five people one person had to sleep in the living room. Aside from that we had a lovely time in a central location
