Exceptional accommodation made better by the view. I could sit in the living room watching the sea and never go out. Great!

We had a great stay at No 3 Sandside. It is a great spot on the front with fantastic views. It’s expensive for the size of it but you are paying for the views and the location so you look outwards not inwards. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, I used a beach trolly to bring my luggage etc from the car. A slightly earlier check in (4pm) and later check out (10am) would be helpful, especially given the nightly rate.

We had a lovely stay at Sandside No. 3. It looks out over the beach and harbor of Whitby, and the sound of the waves is constant and delightful. It's near the bottom of the 99 Steps and walking distance to just about everything in town. Although there are often a lot of tourists on the pedestrian-only part of Church Street leading up to the 99 Steps, the crowds disappear at the end of the day, there's almost no one on the street before 10:00 AM, and we were never bothered by noise. The home is tidy and bright, with a nautical theme, the kitchen well-equipped. The hosts were highly responsive. Parking is a bit complicated since there's no dedicated parking at Sandside No. 3 and the fairly small public car park in Church Street is often full. (The car park at the Abbey has plenty of spaces, but requires a journey on foot up and down the hill that may be difficult for some visitors.) That aside, we really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Sandside No. 3.

Perfect home from home the location could not have been more perfect central to the old town beach front with harbour views. Watching the boats go out & return each day made this holiday. The property is immaculate with a home from home feel spotless well kept with everything you could wish for in a property. Welcome goodies made us feel welcomed from the start. Will return 😊

A remarkable place to say. A fantastic location overlooking the beach & harbour. A beautifully presented and thoughtfully equipped AirBnB - the best I’ve ever stayed in (and I am a frequent user of AirBnB).

We have just returned from an excellent 3 night stay. The location was perfect, we loved waking up to the sea and being able to walk into the old part of the town so easily. As other's have stated the access is a little bit tricky however if you walk from the Duke of York pub it is flat! We hope to return soon.

Great place to stay! Soothing sounds of the sea, even with a gale, it was wonderful listening and watching Mother Nature through the beautiful windows in the home! Relaxing, comfortable and quite convenient to restaurants and shops! Loved the decor! Thanks for the coffee tea and snacks! Very much appreciated!

The stay at Cottage Sandside No 3 was wonderful for me, my wife and my daughter. We felt at home in the accommodation from the moment we arrived until we left. Although the accommodation was in the centre of Whitby's tourist attractions, i.e. close to Whitby Abbey, harbour, 199 Steps etc, it was very quiet, relaxing and restful. The weekend we were in Whitby happened to be the Whitby Pirate Festival, so the town was full of people dressed up as pirates. I recommend the accommodation to anyone who wants to discover Whitby and the surrounding area. Thank you!

The property was absolutely stunning, spotlessly clean and 2 mins walk from shops and restaurants. Unknown to us when we booked, it was Regatta weekend ! We had a great view of the races from our sitting room, and lovely views of the sun rising and setting, it was idilic. The quirky furnishings in each room were right up my street, we totally loved them. Regarding parking, we parked at the long stay in Church Street 5 mins walk away £10.80 for 24 hours. On departure we drove the car up to the top of Church street to load up, you’re allowed to for access. If we had known we would have done the same on arrival. Our accommodation was the icing on the cake, making our short break in Whitby fantastic. This booking was well worth the money, we will 100% be booking again in the future.

A fantastic replace to stay. The views and sounds from the harbour into the living room and top bedroom are worth every penny. We couldn’t have picked a better place. You’re in the heart of old Whitby. One tip would be: Dont park at the Abbey to drop/pickup bags, depending on the time of day as the street leading to it can be crowded, you can drive to the start of Henrietta St to drop off, then park up at the Abbey car park.

A stunning cottage with the most incredible views. Had everything we needed, was very clean, full of charm and character, warm, cosy… you feel right at home. Perfectly located to enjoy everything beautiful Whitby has to offer. Lack of parking wasn’t an issue for us as we only had a 3 night stay and not much luggage. ‘Host & Stay’ were very responsive with any queries we had, excellent service from them, Charlie in particular. We will definitely visit this cosy cottage again.

Lovely location if you’re ok with steps and slopes - which is essential for Whitby! A lovely little street and very close to the 199 steps. We stayed three nights as a family of four (kids 6 and 8) and it was lovely, but snug. The kitchen is well equipped but small, especially as there isn’t an entrance hall, boot room or utility - plenty of space for a long weekend, but I think we might have felt a bit cramped for any longer. The kids loved their bedroom in the loft and the views were beautiful. Probably would have been tricky location if our kids were younger - but great for our age!

We stayed for Christmas, it was just what we needed after a difficult year for us. We were looking for somewhere right on the beach, to capture the serenity we needed ....we got just what we ordered! Parking /access is a bit tricky as reviews state , but don't let this put you off ! A little tip, if you park on the corner of the Duke of York public house, you can access the property to drop off your bags with a 2 min flat walk, before moving your vehicle to the Abbey. This removes The 199 step walk with juggling luggage ! This property is a must if you want a traditional beach stay with awesome fish and chips a few feet away ! Communication from host 5 star. Nothing to fault.

It’s a beautiful little cottage with views out across the harbour. It’s nice to sit in the living room and hear the sea. It’s easily walkable to everything. It is a little tricky to park nearby (like everywhere on the beachfront) so pack bags that you can easily walk with you to and from the car.

Had a wonderful week at No 3 Sandside (September 2023); Getting luggage into the property took a bit of working out but if you are fairly fit we would recommend dropping a person and your baggage off in the turning circle for the abbey at the top of the steps and then you can park your car in the abbey car park; I then waited for my other half and we managed to negotiate down the slope rather than the steps with our suitcase and other belongings; House is wonderful - views out on the beach and harbour so peaceful and relaxing and spent many hours watching the boats come and go; Peaceful at night and everything you need in the property; Whitby is fab, loads to do and lovely eating places and pubs; would recommend Duke of York right next door and we visited Pizza West, Cosa Nostra, Trenchers and the Magpie - all of which were fab (recommended in guidebook). All in all a wonderful property and a wonderful place.

Rebecca

From the start we delighted, the view was amazing and we sat watching the world go by for hours! The location was great for waking around the harbour and visiting attractions, there were plenty of places to drink and eat, we would recommend The Fisherman’s Wife and The Board Inn. The house was comfortable, had everything you needed for a lovely stay, we will definitely be going back.

This place is amazingly located. The living room with bifold doors that open to the beach below is a wonderful place to sit and watch the harbour. Everything in the house was pristine- it all felt brand new! Beds and sofas are all very comfortable. The location is away from the busy streets but so close to everything. A haven from the crowds on the Bank holiday weekend. We’d definitely stay again.

Fantastic cottage right on Whitby harbour beach, very private and quiet and beautifully furnished. The cottage was super comfortable and the view is worth every penny! Just one warning though, due to the set-up of the town parking is a fair ways away if you have luggage and access requires walking and the use of steps.

The location. was fantastic - not only beautiful but ideally situated for the Abbey, Brewery, local shops and restaurants etc. It wasn't the easiest to find and with a young family packing and unpacking took some coordination but apart from that our stay was perfect. I'd recommend researching car parks in the area as the one closest is small and is usually fully. The others are a good 20min walk from the property. All fine, if you're prepared.

Fantastic place in the best location in Whitby! No problems at all check in was easy and the property was very clean and bright. The views over the bay are stunning and we enjoyed watching the boats coming and going day and night. The heating at this time of year was also great and very easy to use. All in all we had a great time and would definitely return.

Victoria

Wow what a cottage! We stayed here for 3 nights during the October half term with our 2 children and it was perfect. The location was fantastic and being 32 weeks pregnant this really helped. It’s located at the bottom of the famous 199 steps which was great. The only down side is there’s no parking, however there’s a long stay car park near by and we used the JustPark app and parked just a 13 min walk away. We would definitely stay here again.

Great place but as emails before being given the entry details I did not like following a link in an email out of AirBnb to pay the damage waiver separately. It is in the information but If it must be paid the damage waiver should be included at the time of booking.

The sublime views from this property are stunning. The furnishings make this property a very comfortable base from which to explore Whitby. It’s quite tricky to access the property, down a very steep slope, so make sure everything is packed into easy to carry bags and boxes.

Beware!! If you are thinking of booking this or a nearby property, check the dates!! The property was great but we were unaware of the Regatta and subsequent Funfair opposite to us was extremely disruptive and noisy, finishing at 11pm on the Monday. I understand this was an ‘external event’ but we should have been made us aware of that at the point of booking as it made dropping off our belongings very difficult, public car parks were full and the property was unbearable for 2 of the 4 nights and we had our kids with us.

The house is in a fantastic location. Love the fact it’s on the East Cliff, away from the crowds & arcades, but easy enough to reach everywhere on foot in Whitby. The living room is special with exceptional views across the harbour, out to the North Sea & West Cliff. Dog lovers would appreciate it as there are a lot of people walking their dogs on the beach below. The location is right at the foot of the steps up to the abbey & right in the old lanes of Whitby - so it’s quite busy, but that side of Whitby is nice & peaceful in the evening. The property is well furnished & clean.

Rachel

The breathtaking views over the harbour made this one of the best Air BnB we’ve stayed in. No. 3 is the most perfect place for a small family and by using the Just Park app and parking in a local’s driveway, parking wasn’t an issue either. Getting our things to the cottage was fine but mainly because we travelled light as we expected the walk. On this occasion we travelled with our ten month old baby and while there was a high chair and travel cot, there was no bedding or mattress with the cot which was a little unusual compared to other stays we’ve had. We will 100% return, year on year I expect as we had a fantastic time.

This Airbnb really is as amazing as the pictures. Our only complaint was that we hadn't booked for longer! The view of the harbour is beautiful and the cottage is away from the busyness of Whitby so it is peaceful at night. Super comfy beds too. But all the sights of Whitby are within walking distance, including great restaurants - Humble Pie and Mountrays and of course fish and chips on the beach. We went up the 199 steps every day of our stay.

Location great , very clean but long hilly walk to accommodation as no parking onsite ..need to travel extremely light and keep fingers crossed you can park in Church Street carpark .. limited spaces..which is the closest , 10ish minute walk , otherwise it’s the Abbey carpark which is even further. Shame because accommodation is great

This feels like a homely place with lots of nice touches. The kitchen is very compact but well equipped, and the view from the living room is amazing. The house is right by the shops, teashops, pubs etc. but parking is very difficult - we had to park by the Co-op supermarket. The shower wasn't great but otherwise all very comfortable.

We booked this Whitby harbour side cottage for the views and it did not disappoint,an added bonus was the suprisingly warm October weather which meant we could keep the lounge bifold doors open longer. A great location (word of advice it does involve a steep access path).

Jackie

A cottage that has a superb location overlooking the beach and harbour. The bifold doors enable you to enjoy the outdoor atmosphere irrespective of weather. Furnished to a high standard . Centrally located for several restaurants and bars. Whitby is busy so pre booking of restaurants is beneficial especially in season. Whilst this did not impact us we saw a possible challenge transferring luggage into the property if we had not been able to obtain a parking space at church street which has limited parking . We would suggest travelling light. A great few days and we will definitely want to return.

We had an amazing stay at Sandside. The property was the most clean I have ever stayed in, absolutely everything was spotless. It is decorated beautifully with so many amazing touches which made it so much more than your standard air bnb. Waking up to the beautiful view and the sound of the waves was perfect. We had coffee out on the terrace in the morning and drinks whilst watching the sunset in the evening. The only negative points were parking. The sat nav brought our car to a car park around 10 minutes walk away which was a nightmare to get all of our stuff from the car going up/down hill. We found a closer one by the bay but there are very limited spaces. Parking is £9 for 24 hours in most car parks. In terms of the property the heating was temperamental and capped quite low, at times it was really cold and the heating didn’t come on for around an hour and then switched off quickly. I also had 3 baths whilst there and it ran out of hot water when half way full each time. I would say that the shower was really hot and powerful. Overall an amazing stay and I would definitely recommend. Thank you so much!

Great location (pack light as you’ll need to walk from the car park). Communication was very good before and during.

An incredibly, memorable stay in the best spot in Whitby. Place felt like home, it had sufficient space and a lot of lovely touches about the space. I've stayed in Whitby over 20 times over the years and this is right at the top. Just fabulous.
