Property Description
Ideal for families and small groups, this Victorian cottage in the heart of the town sleeps 5 with a double, a twin and a single room.
Tucked away in a quiet pedestrian backstreet, away from the noise of the road yet just a few yards from shops and cafes and only 5 minutes walk to the beach.
The vintage charm of this cottage is blended with contemporary fittings to ensure comfort and convenience whilst retaining its original features.
You will be able to unload your car outside, and parking is available in the streets around the cottage. We will provide free permits. Keys are kept in a key safe with the code provided prior to arrival.
Entering through the front door, you will immediately ascend a set of stairs, where you will find a large well equipped dining kitchen with modern shaker style cream units complete with an integrated fridge and freezer, a freestanding oven, dishwasher, washing machine and microwave. There is also a separate wc/cloakroom on the first floor.
Another set of stairs takes you to a comfortable living room with an original cast iron fireplace, tv with Humax which offers more channels than freeview and a dvd player. There is a selection of books, dvds and board games. The cottage benefits from free wifi. Just off the living room is a single bedroom and contemporary bathroom with electric shower can also be found on this floor. The top floor has a double and a twin bedroom with views of Whitby Abbey.
This lovely cottage with its central location will quickly become a home from home for your holiday or short break.

Overall a nice stay. However, fridge didn’t work great, worktop was hot and woke up to a small puddle on the floor? Shower was very small and difficult to manoeuvre. Single mattresses noisy and not the most comfy. Towels a bit scratchy.

Weekend in Whitby
Generally a good stay at Rainbow Cottage. Location in the town is good but the road itself is extremely narrow . We followed advice to park briefly outside to unload and to collect parking permit. However information should have included fact that it is not possible to exit Clarkson Street at the end (in the direction of the parked car). It is impossible to manoeuvre car left or right. We then had to back all the way up the street. Afterwards discovered serious scrape on car paintwork from a boulder on the left at the end of the street. A neighbour says drivers often make this mistake! Would help if info advised backing out immediately after dropping off your bags!

Loved our stay for whitby goth weekend, the cottage had everything we could have wanted, loads of room and home comforts! Very central, everywhere was walkable so we were able to just park the car up (with the tickets provided by the host) and leave it for the weekend. Also loads of info available in the guest book too. Overall had a wonderful time here.
