Captain's House in Whitby | Stunning North Yorkshire Group Cottage

About Captain's House

Captain's House is a large self-catering property in Whitby, North Yorkshire, close to the North York Moors National Park. It's a solid choice for groups wanting a base in one of the most photographed coastal towns in England. No hot tub, but the location more than compensates.

Robin Hood's Bay is a steep, cobbled fishing village that tumbles down to a rocky shoreline. The streets are narrow, the pubs are proper and the scenery is genuinely spectacular. It sits between Whitby and Scarborough on the Yorkshire coast.

Captain's House sleeps a large group across multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, with generous social spaces for eating and gathering together. Specific room names and sleeping configurations should be confirmed directly with the operator.

Captain's House puts a large group right in one of Yorkshire's best-known coastal spots. Brilliant for walkers, history lovers and anyone who wants a proper Yorkshire seaside experience.
