Front garden with patio. Private parking for 1 car. No smoking.. Situated just a couple of miles from the vibrant heart of Whitby’s town centre, this idyllic haven immerses you in a peaceful sanctuary. The cottage is embraced by the lush embrace of rolling fields, where wildlife thrives and paints the landscape with their fleeting presence and views overlooking Whitby, surrounding Countryside, Coastline and Abbey.
Step outside your door, and you’ll find yourself amidst the spectacle of nature’s theatre, with an abundance of flora and fauna gracing your doorstep. A short stroll along the enchanting Cleveland Way footpath leads you along breathtaking clifftops, revealing panoramas that link Whitby’s magnetic charm with the neighbouring Robin Hoods Bay. The rhythmic cadence of the waves and the scent of the salty sea air accompany you on this journey of coastal exploration.
Just a leisurely 10-minute walk away lies the hidden gem of Saltwick Bay, a secluded cove where the ocean’s embrace meets the rugged shore. Here, you can lose yourself in the symphony of crashing waves and the serenade of seagulls, creating memories that linger like echoes in the sea breeze. The property lies close to the ’Cinder Track’ which is a cycle/walking path from Whitby to Scarbrough with Robin Hoods Bay and Ravenscar en-route. Back at Foxglove Cottage, a sense of tranquillity prevails as you step onto the well-kept lawn. Outdoor seating invites you to unwind while savouring moments of calm and reflection.
Indoors, the spacious open plan kitchen/dining area becomes a hub of conviviality, where culinary delights are shared, and laughter resonates. Adjacent to this is the living room, a cosy haven with glass doors that unveil a panoramic vista of the patio, the sprawling lawn, and the endless fields beyond. Ascending the stairs, the serenity continues. The spacious double bedroom, adorned with a beamed ceiling, welcomes you with an ambiance of rustic elegance. A sofa nestled beneath the beams offers a quiet corner for contemplation. An en-suite shower completes this space, where relaxation knows no bounds. A twin bedroom, equally inviting, offers its own en suite shower, ensuring every comfort for guests. Each corner of Foxglove Cottage has been meticulously designed to envelop you in an atmosphere of rustic charm and modern comfort, where every element works in harmony to create an unforgettable experience.
Beyond the confines of the cottage, the town of Whitby and its surrounding coastline stand as a canvas painted with history, culture, and natural wonders. Whitby, with its cobblestone streets and historic buildings, captures the essence of a charming coastal town, where tales of seafaring adventures echo through time. The iconic Whitby Abbey stands sentinel over the town, an awe-inspiring relic of centuries past. As the sun dips below the horizon, the coastline transforms into a dreamscape of twinkling lights, and the haunting call of seagulls carries the promise of another day of exploration. For those with electric vehicles, a charging point is just 3 minutes’ walk away.
This property can be booked together with Harebell (UK45262) to accommodate up to 8 guests.

A great place to retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
A great place to retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. If you like walking it’s a good base with the Cleveland Way almost on your doorstep and the Cinder Track close by. The shower is amazing - powerful and hot. We enjoyed our stay so much we didn’t want to leave.
