Idyllically located by the River Esk, Kauri cottage boasts stunning views and open countryside easily within reach, yet remains ideally positioned for easy access to Whitby. Sleeping seven in total comfort and is perfect for a couples break or for families looking for a Whitby getaway without the hustle and bustle of the town. With a first-floor balcony and an outside seating area to the front of the property, you will find this a great place to watch the steam trains on the opposite river bank.

“Fantastic location & great for families”

Reviewed 18 Aug 2022

Great 4 day trip in the summer holidays, 2 adults and 5 children! The cottage had everything we needed with the benefit of lots of outdoor space, 3 toilets and 2 rooms with tv’s in! Lovely to have separate kitchen/ living room space. The views of the viaduct and river were great and so lovely to be o the banks of the river where the kids were able to spot lots of wildlife including g herons, salmon, jelly fish and eels!! Great base for a short break or longer!

“Fabulous Cottage”

Reviewed 4 May 2022

Excellent location, which we found very easily, stunning place in beautiful surroundings. The cottage was very tastefully decorated, and had all the equipment, and utensils for every need. The cottage had three floors, the middle one with a balcony, and fabulous views. An easy walk into Whitby town, with lots of restaurants, and if you like fish, and chips it’s definitely the place to be. We will be back again, and again. Eileen and Bob.

“Great location”

Reviewed 11 Apr 2022

Myself and my family only stayed for 2 nights but the cottage was so lovely. It was very well located on the outskirts of Whitby but only a short drive into Whitby and there was plenty of parking at the cottage. The cottage was very well equipped and very well set out we particularly liked the large kitchen diner. We would definitely recommend to friends and family and would love to return in the future
