Whitby Holiday Cottage - Oswy Street

12/02/2025

Thank you to all our amazing guests who booked through Booking.com and gave us great feedback last year. We’re delighted to have received an Award for positive feedback - 9.2/10. It is all the more special as it was the first full year of running Oswy Street privately along with our incredible house keeping team Cleaner and Greener Limited .

We read every comment and are always looking for ways to improve our guest experience at our much-loved Whitby home. One major change was adding the second sofa to the living room to provide more seating which has already had some great feedback.

Thank you, it really means a lot that you enjoy our home as much as we do.

Best wishes as always, Harry & Zillah

We have January and February availability, at the bargain price of £100 per night. So, if you are a group of 4 then that's just £25 per person per night - AND, if you have 6 guests that's just £16.66 per person per night!!

Why go to Whitby in the winter?
There are lots of reasons... here are our top 6 reason to book your trip NOW.

ONE// We absolutely LOVE how cosy the cottage is with the lovely open fire. We've stocked up on board games so you can settle in for a mammoth game of Monopoly.

TWO// The beaches are all dog friendly from end of October to April. Wrap up warm and stroll down to Sandsend for a delicious pub meal at The Hart Inn Sandsend, one of the best sandwiches at Mary's Sandwich Shop or visit Fish Cottage for a seafood feast.

THREE// Visit Whitby Brewery on one of their music nights which take place most weekends.

FOUR// If the weather outside isn't in your favour, go mini bowling at PleasureLand which you'll find upstairs along with the retro games.

FIVE// Sit in for a tasty fish and chips at one of our favourite spots. We love Royal Fisheries - the fruity curry sauce is an absolute winner.

SIX// Visit the Whitby Lobster Hatchery on the harbour front to learn all about this amazing cause and their reintroduction of lobsters into the North Sea

Have you seen the art installation at Whitby Abbey?

An art installation honouring seven "game changers" has been unveiled at Whitby Abbey as part of the National Lottery's 30th birthday celebrations.

The Heritage Tree pays tribute to the "extraordinary impact" the seven have had on heritage and conservation, a National Lottery spokesperson said.

Those honoured include Sir Tim Smit, co-founder of the Eden Project, and Arthur Torrington CBE, who co-founded the Windrush Foundation.

The 5,400 sq m (58125 sq ft) artwork has been created using the abbey’s landscape and natural pigments painted on the ground to show the subjects' hands holding the roots of a tree.

We absolutely love hearing from our guests after they’ve stayed and finding out how their time in Whitby was. A few people mentioned that more comfy seating in the living area would be a good addition; so we welcome our new snug sofa to the Oswy Street family!

Thank you to all our guests who’ve stayed this year and have taken the time to reach out to us; we read all of your comments and are so delighted with all our 5* reviews; it really does mean the world to Harry & me, and Cassandra Jane our wonderful housekeeper whose team at Cleaner & Greener ltd goes above and beyond to make Oswy Street a holiday home for everyone.

It’s official fire season at Oswy Street 🪵🔥 and the dogs approve. There may be a storm outside but it’s nice and cosy indoors and that’s all you need. 💕💕
