Whitby, the very popular historic seaside town lies 1.5 miles away, a 20-minute walk into the centre. Close by there are two play areas for children as well as communal landscaped grounds leading to the riverside, a haven for wildlife, swans, and ducks. For those walkers and cyclists amongst you, this property is located right by the famous Cinder Track; the old railway line that runs over 20 miles between Scarborough and Whitby.
Ammonite Cottage is an ideal size for family, as well as for couples travelling together. Set over two floors, this is a well-presented property where you’re sure to have a truly memorable stay. On the ground floor you have a spacious open plan living area, with French double doors both at the front and the rear of the property. The rear ones lead to a small and sunny decked area with a picnic table, a beautiful spot with views over open countryside.
Stepping through the archway from the lounge is the well-equipped kitchen and dining area which has a large dining table perfect for up to six guests to eat and socialise. Up on the first floor is the master double bedroom with a balcony where you can enjoy views of the viaduct, where the Cinder Track passes on its way to Whitby. On this floor you also have a second double bedroom as well as a bunk bedroom which is suitable for adults as well as children. There is the family bathroom on this first floor with a shower over the bath as well as a convenient separate toilet on the ground floor.
In Whitby there is a long golden beach, ideal for traditional family days out by the sea, complete with arcades, sandcastles, beach huts and good old-fashioned fish and chips. Whilst in Whitby follow in the steps of Bram Stoker, the author of the infamous Dracula, by climbing the famous 199 steps to see the spectacular Whitby Abbey. The beach to the west of the town leads for 2 miles to the lovely resort of Sandsend. Runswick Bay and Staithes are further north, and to the south there is Robin Hood’s Bay and the large seaside resort of Scarborough with its long promenade running through both bays.
The North York Moors steam railway runs from Whitby down to Pickering, stopping at Goathland (Heartbeat Country). For children and families nearby there is Flamingo land, Alpamare Waterpark and Go Ape ziplining at Dalby Forest all within an hour drive. Beach 2 miles.

This cottage is just perfect. The owners have thought of absolutely everything and also a lovely gift pack on arrival which was a special touch. Our dog loved the treats too. Beautiful views out of the front and back and a 20 minute walk across the viaduct into Whitby town. We had the best long weekend here and we are looking forward to booking another stay here.

What an amazing place to have Christmas! Everything was thought of including providing Christmas crackers, cake and Prosecco! Kitchen had lots of good quality pots/pans too and the whole house was a high specification. Location was great - nice and quiet but near enough to walk into Whitby in half an hour. I personally loved the pre printed maps for local walks, everything was thought of. Thank you so much for making our Christmas so special!

My husband and I, had a fab holiday in Ammonite Cottage in Sept 24. We are in our 60’s and enjoy walking and rambling so its location right next to the Cinder Track was ideal for us. We walked into Whitby daily and to The Windmill pub in the opposite direction. Cottage facilities were good. It was just a little pricey being out of season. Having said that, we chose to pay that price. Had there been6 Adults and 2 pets as opposed to just 2 Adults it would have seemed to be great £value.

This was our second time staying at Ammonite cottage.
This was our second time staying at Ammonite cottage. We have young children and a dog so we need a good base to live when away, Ammonite Cottage os perfect for us. The location is just just out of the town itself but sits on the Cinder track, we enjoyed walking along the Cinder track over the viaduct and into Whitby. Plenty of nice pubs to eat at in the surrounding area, and pubs that also allow dogs. The house itself has everything you need and truly is home from home. There is nothing I could think of that the house doesn't have, this makes life much easier when travelling with young children and a dog. A welcome basket on arrival is a really nice touch and thoroughly appreciated by us. We are already thinking about dates for next year to return to Ammonite.
