Whilst in Whitby you have to try the world famous fish and chips available from numerous cafes on the sea front. Whitby was the inspiration for Bram Stoker's novel Dracula which he wrote whilst staying at Whitby. On the hill there is the historic ruins of Whitby Abbey which was the inspiration for Carthax Abbey in Dracula. Whitby also has a sea faring history being the home of Captain Cook which there is a Captain Cook museum in which you can discover more about the legendary sea farer. At high season there is August Whitby Regatta when you can see some amazing ships and boats. At the life boat museum you can find about the various daring rescues performed by the Whitby lifeguards over the many years.

If music is your thing then Whitby is the place for you hosting the world famous Whitby Goth Weekend twice a year, the 1960s weekend, the Folk Festival, Jazz and Soul Festival plus you also get to hear music and see films at the Bram Stokers International Film Festival at Whitby.

All in all your stay at Wildgoose Cottage will be fun, memorable and one that will stay in your hearts and minds forever.

Perfect
A lovely little cottage with a lovely outlook to the sea and sometimes the neighbours cows at the fence looking back at you. The cottage is in a quiet peaceful location but only five minute drive to Whitby and all it has too offer. It is spotlessly clean, has a well-equipped kitchen, a comfortable Lounge, a very comfortable bed upstairs and ensuite with a great hot shower. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Beyond Whitby
This cottage was cosy and comfortable. To be honest, it is a good way out of Whitby, but the location has charms of its own, such as it’s proximity to the Abbey, the lighthouse and the Cleveland Way path.

Just what the Dr. Ordered!
Lovely little cottage, ideal for all local amenities but nestled in a beautiful, quiet and unobtrusive location. The cottage was clean, comfortable and had everything you needed for your stay. a lovely base for our little break away from it all. Just maybe one suggestion, there is a DVD player in the TV in the bedroom, perhaps one for the TV downstairs? Due to the location and as stated in the description TV signal not always the best so to be able to watch one of many of the films provided, downstairs with the tipple of your choice would be nice. A big thankyou to the host Joanne who went out of her way to get my forgotten vanity case sent bk to me quickly

Tired
The property is in a fabulous location but it is in my opinion tired it needs to be well cleaned and all areas to be checked when the clients leave as there was food in the freezer and toiletries in the cupboard in the down stair bathroom cob webs on the extractor fans and it all needs a redecorate

Lovely weekend away. Cottage in a beautiful location surrounded by wildlife. We saw dolphins, owls, and a badger. Only improvements would be a better quality mattress and wifi as phone signal is very poor inside.

Herrlicher Rückzugsort über den Klippen
Wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an sehr wohlgefühlt, seht nettes Cottage ideal für zwei Personen. Toller Ausgangspunkt, um die Gegend zu Fuß oder per Rad zu entdecken, herrliche Ruhe, auch wenn man dem Trubel in Whitby entfliehen möchte. Etwas mehr Ausstattung an Geschirr in der Küche wäre wünschenswert, wenn man so wie wir gerne selbst kocht!

We were a little disappointed with some of the cleanliness
We thought that the cottage was a little tired and needed a little TLC. It is a lovely cottage and liked the quiet location which is what we wanted. Its just a shame that the overall experience was spoilt by a few minor issues like the overgrown grounds and all the spiders webs.
