In association with Trinity House, Rural Retreats is pleased to present Galatea at Whitby Lighthouse. Galatea is one of two holiday cottages available at the lighthouse, which lies on the East Coast just outside Whitby and close to the North Yorkshire Moors. The High Cliffs of the North Yorkshire coast hide a number of small ports, the most significant of which is Whitby. Captain James Cook was apprenticed to a Whitby shipowner and made the first of his voyages of discovery (1768-1771) in a covered Whitby built 'cat' - a small ship rigged collier renamed 'Endeavour'. Whitby's skyline is dominated by the ruins of St. Hilda's Abbey, high on Whitby's East Cliff and spreading below, a maze of alleyways and narrow streets running down to the busy quayside and harbour entrance. To the south lie the coastal villages and resorts of Scarborough, Filey and Bridlington. Inland lie the heather moorlands of the North Yorkshire Moors and, further afield, York. This holiday cottage at a glance Sleeps five guests. Three bedrooms, one bathroom and one shower room. Enclosed garden with a raised decked area. Ample parking. Sorry, charging of an electric car is not permitted. Sorry, no pets. Minimum of a two night stay, prices quoted for two nights are only as a guide, please do contact the property manager for further details. Outside: Large walled garden with sloped lawn, a raised wooden patio with garden furniture. Ample parking available. Additional Information: Children and infants welcome. Travel cot and highchair available on request. Two well-behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge). There is no WiFi available at Galatea and very limited mobile signal. A landline telephone is provided. There is an internal step within the property. Guests should be aware that the lighthouses and equipment need regular and sometimes emergency maintenance. Therefore visits by maintenance staff may occur at any time during the year. However, staff will do their best to ensure guest privacy at all times. Guests are reminded they are renting a heritage building, therefore certain features such as steps, stairs and floor levels may not comply with that of a modern building. As such, we would advise guests to acquaint themselves with the premises on arrival and exercise caution accordingly. Access roads to the lighthouse site are narrow with limited passing places and, dependent on the season and site, there is the possibility of overhanging vegetation due to cutting restrictions during bird breeding seasons or other environmental reasons. A barbecue is not provided, however guests are welcome to bring their own, subject to adhering to the safety precautions set out in the arrival information. Sorry, no fireworks, drones or remote controlled flying equipment are permitted. Drivers with low axles should be aware that the site is approached via a farm track. Sorry, charging of an electric car is not permitted. Also on this site is Vanguard, sleeping five guests. Attractions and nearby amenities Within easy reach of a beach. Enjoy the Yorkshire coast with Whitby, Sandsend and Robin Hood's Bay all nearby. The Yorkshire Esk is one of the most prolific sea trout rivers in England and is the only salmon river between London and the Tees. Mountain biking at nearby Dalby Forest is world class. Grosmont, the North York Moors Railway and Goathland (of 'Heartbeat' fame) are all within easy reach. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Entertainment - DVD player - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property;

What a great weekend ... great weather, superb location, peaceful and relaxing, but close enough to enable a gentle stoll along the Cleveland Way to Whitby. We just had a great time, although the breeze off the North Sea was a but chilly at times! The cottage may lack wifi and has no mobile phone signal, but that just added to the feeling of "getting away from it all" ... a highly specified cottage with lots of homely touches and decoration, and the kitchen and bathrooms were top-notch. ##### Richard H. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2019 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Julie K., Tannum Sands Queensland Australia May 18, 2014 #### Galatea The property was fabulous. The view was spectacular, the cottage was beautifully furnished and very comfortable. We loved it and wished we had stayed another night. The welcome hamper was a wonderful surprise and very appreciated. Thank you. However, getting in touch with the housekeeper was a problem. We were lucky there was a lady in the other cottage and was able to get the code for us. ##### Julie K. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Royal Hideaway Playacar All Inclusive - Adults only](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Royal-Hideaway-Playacar-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h470879.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London-Gatwick Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Gatwick-Airport.h16918.Hotel-Information) > > [The Porch House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Porch-House.h4595892.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Wall Centre, Vancouver Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-The-Westin-Wall-Centre.h2899945.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Hull Marina by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hull-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hull-Marina.h10609.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Punta Cana](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d601906-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Burgh Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingsbridge-Hotels-Burgh-Island-Hotel.h34611055.Hotel-Information) > > [The Belfry](https://www.expedia.ca/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Belfry.h3976.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Heathrow Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Slough-Hotels-Heathrow-Windsor-Marriott-Hotel.h3830.Hotel-Information) > > [The Greenway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Greenway-Hotel-Spa.h520203.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Millcroft](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-Millcroft.h26994538.Hotel-Information) > > [NH City Centre Amsterdam](https://www.expedia.ca/Amsterdam-Hotels-NH-City-Centre-Amsterdam.h26865.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites Ottawa West](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-Ottawa-West.h57516138.Hotel-Information) > > [The Simon Hotel Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Cambridge-Suites-Hotel-Sydney.h8311.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yyz/vancouver-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Santiago (SCL) to Buenos Aires (EZE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/scl/eze/santiago-to-buenos-aires) > > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to Montego Bay (MBJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/mbj/detroit-to-montego-bay) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Seattle (SEA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/sea/winnipeg-to-seattle) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to San José del Cabo (SJD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/sjd/vancouver-to-san-jose-del-cabo) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to London (YXU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yxu/toronto-to-london) > > [British Airways Toronto (YYZ) to London (LHR) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/british-airways-from-pearson-intl-to-heathrow/ba/yyz/lhr) ### Cars > [Car rentals in New York](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-LaGuardia.d4278092.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Panama Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Panama.d142.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations)
