About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

This attractive cottage on the Whitby Lighthouse site has a raised deck giving wonderful views.

In association with Trinity House, Rural Retreats is pleased to present Galatea at Whitby Lighthouse.

Galatea is one of two holiday cottages available at the lighthouse, which lies on the East Coast just outside Whitby and close to the North Yorkshire Moors.

The High Cliffs of the North Yorkshire coast hide a number of small ports, the most significant of which is Whitby. Captain James Cook was apprenticed to a Whitby shipowner and made the first of his voyages of discovery (1768-1771) in a covered Whitby built 'cat' - a small ship rigged collier renamed 'Endeavour'. Whitby's skyline is dominated by the ruins of St. Hilda's Abbey, high on Whitby's East Cliff and spreading below, a maze of alleyways and narrow streets running down to the busy quayside and harbour entrance. To the south lie the coastal villages and resorts of Scarborough, Filey and Bridlington. Inland lie the heather moorlands of the North Yorkshire Moors and, further afield, York.

Richard H., Witney, Oxfordshire

A fantastic place away from it all ... but close enough to the the town of Whitby!
What a great weekend ... great weather, superb location, peaceful and relaxing, but close enough to enable a gentle stoll along the Cleveland Way to Whitby. We just had a great time, although the breeze off the North Sea was a but chilly at times! The cottage may lack wifi and has no mobile phone signal, but that just added to the feeling of "getting away from it all" ... a highly specified cottage with lots of homely touches and decoration, and the kitchen and bathrooms were top-notch.
Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2019
