Summary:
Dolphin Cottage 1736 is a tastefully renovated, former Jet Worker’s residence in the heart of Whitby. With its charming cottage character and seaside themed interiors, this two bedroom holiday home is perfect for a family getaway or a couples retreat.
The Space:
Upon entering Dolphin Cottage 1736 you walk directly into the open plan living, dining and kitchen space. This bright and spacious area is a mix of traditional cottage design with a modern twist.
The L-shaped kitchen comes fully equipped with everything you could need for a short break from home. The dining area consists of a four seater dining table with matching benches.
Continuing into the living area, there are two matching grey upholstered sofas, perfect for a cosy evening in front of the television or for getting lost in your latest read with a hot cuppa.
The stairway runs from the back of the cottage, up to the first floor where you will find a double bedroom and family bathroom. The bedroom features a soft, pale green and natural colour palette. With a wooden frame bed and a matching set of wardrobe, drawers and bedside table this room is simple with a calm atmosphere. Tones of blue and sea green are brought in through the soft furnishings and wall art.
The bathroom sits alongside the master bedroom. A well designed area which utilises the narrow space fantastically. With high gloss white metro tiles and chrome fixtures and fittings the room is modern and tastefully decorated. The bathroom features a walk in shower, WC and basin.
Take the narrow staircase to the second floor where you’ll reach the roof space of the cottage. The surprisingly high ceilings and large windows make this room bright and spacious. Featuring twin beds and complementary furniture, this soft pink toned room feels feminine and chic.
The cottage is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the main street, allowing you to enjoy the peaceful side of Whitby.

The Neighborhood:
Dolphin Cottage 1736 is located on Staffordshire Place, just off the iconic Flowergate – one of the oldest and most historic streets in Whitby. You’ll find cosy cafes, restaurants and shops lining the street, so the cottage is ideally located.
The Blue Flag West Cliff beach and promenade is just a short 5-minute walk from the property. On Pier Road, you’ll find fun arcades and plenty of fish restaurants where you can sample the catch of the day.
The other side of Whitby is full of narrow, medieval streets dotted with boutiques and pubs. Climb the famous 199 steps up to the Church of Saint Mary. You can also discover the renowned ruined Whitby Abbey, which was the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s gothic novel ‘Dracula’.
Step outside of Whitby and you’ll uncover a haven of woodland and moorland. Whitby forms part of the North York Moors National Park so it’s the perfect place for long walks.
