Rainbow Cottage - A home from home in the heart of Whitby

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. Please note that the cottage is located over 4 floors and may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility.

Great location
Property was ideal for our needs, especially the three bedrooms. As others have mentioned, the shower is cosy. I think I put the bin in the wrong place as it was not emptied. Sorry. Whitby is one of our favourite places so it was great to be able to enjoy a few evenings without worrying about driving home.

Wonderful stay in Whitby
We loved the location and layout of the Rainbow Cottage while in Whitby. Everything was so convenient and walkable. Just a perfect neighborhood and on a narrow street which kept things a little quieter. IT was perfect for our family of 4

Lovely Stay
Rainbow Cottage is in a fantastic location, Parking nearby, 5 minute walk to the front. Cottage is lovely, on 4 floors so if you are bad with steps, not ideal. Bedrooms on the top floor. Our only negative, was the shower was very small, I only just managed as a 5ft lady, but our husbands had a bit of trouble moving around.. But other than that, all good. Lots of games available, DVDs, Plenty of cooking utensils, We will defiantly return to this property.

Fantastic stay
This is the second time we have stayed at Rainbow Cottage and it won’t be the last! The accommodation is perfect for us, so close to the centre, close to all amenities and plenty of space. Fantastic bedrooms with a view of the abbey, which was even more lovely dive it was lit up while we were there! Simon is always really responsive to messages and welcoming. We wouldn’t stay anywhere else when we come to Whitby. Thanks again!

Lovely little cottage in ideal location
My daughter and I enjoyed our stay at rainbow cottage while in Whitby for a wedding. Lots of space over 3 floors and really centrally located. Simon was an excellent host and very understanding when I left the key in a taxi. Thankfully it all worked out and we made it to the wedding on time! Highly recommend this cute cottage for anyone staying in Whitby.

Great location
Our third time staying here and loved it as usual. Sadly don't think we'll be able to as the only downside is there's a lot of stairs and my asking father sadly couldn't manage them very well this year. But for the physically okay it's a nice place in a great location

Excellent location (although parking nearby tricky at busy times) and a very comfortable place to stay. Lots of stairs, making it more suitable for a family with older children like ours.

Overall good location. Very peaceful and quiet especially at night. The settee although fairly comfortable, was very close to the ground and difficult to get up from. Everywhere was clean. The kitchen was very well equipped although there was only 4 teaspoons

Good location
The location of the house is very good and it as everything you need. It was clean on arrival. The down side was the smell of cigarettes was overwhelming as we made our way up the stairs and into the kitchen as non-smokers this was offputting it was coming from the flat below but you could smell it in the kitchen and lounge what is on the next floor and as we have found out since we’ve got home our coats, and things what was kept in the kitchen smell of cigarette. The other thing is the house is worn more than it looks in the pictures.
