The Rising Popularity Of Whitby Holiday Cottages

Location, Location, Location is the mantra that is practiced these days by advertising firms

. To a large extent this is true, for instance, when deciding where to live but it is also the case for the decision of the location for a holiday or short break.

The importance of the selection of a holiday destination can be paramount with regard to the tourist facilities available and the expectations. The wrong choice can ruin a holiday if the reality found is not up to the expectation visualised.

A possible location that is rising in popularity is on the North Yorkshire Coastline between the North Yorkshire Moors and the North Sea. It can be said to have the best of both worlds, the scenic moorland and its villages together with a seaside location on a coastline which boasts unusual seaside villages. The location detailed above is that of the town of Whitby.

Whitby has been on the map since the 600sAD when it came to prominence by the founding of Whitby Abbey in 657AD by King Oswy of Northumbria. The appointment of St. Hilde to run the Abbey and her encouragement of Caedmon, the lowly herdsman who became an inspired poet, has ensured that the history of Whitby Abbey has captured the imagination of historians throughout the ages.

The town also has a seafaring past with connections to Sir Captain James Cook, the renowned explorer and discoverer of New Zealand, and Sir William Scoresby, the inventor of the crows nest and instrumental in many whaling voyages to the Arctic. Whitby has a history of fishing fleets which sadly has declined over the years but still maintains a handful of full time fishing vessels. The majority of the boats moored in the harbour nowadays are small fishing party boats or pleasure craft.

Once the location is decided the next major decision is actually 'where to stay'. This is possibly easier to answer as there is an abundance of choice of Whitby Holiday Cottages to make a selection. To determine which of the Whitby Holiday Cottages meets the criteria, there are a number of ways in which to research the range of properties available. For instance, there is the Whitby Holiday Guide produced by the Borough Council which will feature a number of cottages. The more widely used option is to browse through one of the Holiday Cottages companies which advertise widely in the national press and who have their own company website. Nowadays this has become easier for most of the population as computers are regularly to be found in the home. Browsing by this method will enable to potential visitor the 'view' the property in advance and thereby make a selection.

Whitby Holiday Cottages are to be found in most areas of the town.Whitby is a town in two parts divided by the River Esk. The East side has the oldest streets and yards which house numerous holiday cottages. The West side although perhaps not as old, still has a number of old 'fishermens' cottages along narrow alleyways. Over the last few years there has been a growth in 'new build' cottages which whilst still retaining the charm of the older cottages, can offer the visitor modern facilities, fixtures and fittings more reminiscent of the present age.

Most, if not all, of the Whitby Holiday Cottages for rental are inspected and graded by The English Tourist Board or equivalent, thus ensuring the safety standards are met.
