Region: The North York Moors National Park covers 554 square miles, with landscape ranging from heather-clad moorland and deep secluded dales, to the cliffs and coves of the magnificent coastline making it a haven for walkers.
Town: Whitby in North Yorkshire remains one of the regions most popular tourist hotspots, and with good reason. The town is at the mouth of the River Esk, and this old fishing port retains mush character in its winding streets and hidden alleys. There is a picturesque harbour, sandy beach and the famous Whitby Abbey. Close to other seaside destinations such as Scarborough, Staithes and Robin Hood's Bay, Whitby is also ideally placed for heading inland and exploring the beautiful countryside of the North York Moors National Park.
Really nice cottage. Fantastic views from bedroom very clean. Steps were sometimes a challenge but felt less guilty enjoying some lovely food in the town

Fantastic cottage
Just back from cairns cottage after a week there with 2 friends and the wife , we love the cottage it’s on 4 floors so need to be quite fit for going up and down to certain rooms, there’s a fully equipped kitchen , lovely snug room , shower room and separate bathroom 2 bedrooms with amazing views took our breath away , the top bedroom could do with a bit more storage but apart from that it’s lovely , only down side is the steps to the cottage if you have issues with joints ect it’s not advised but we are all fit and well so wasn’t a problem for us , parkings first come first served so we struggled to start with but manage to park at the top end of the cottage so not too far to carry the luggage down , all in all a beautiful cottage situated in a great spot for access to everything the local pub called the tavern is recommended lovely pub and atmosphere the land lady and staff are very welcoming 😀I’ve added pictures of the steps

Fabulous property they have thought of everything
We have just returned from a wonderful four days in Whitby. We stayed at Cairns cottage which is by far the best accommodation we have stayed in, in Whitby and we have been quite a few times. The accommodation is dog friendly and was really enjoyed by our sprussel (springer cross jack Russell) Bosun.
The accommodation is over four floors and is accessed via some steep steps, so you need to be relatively fit to stay here (the owners make this clear on the website). The cottage has been newly refurbished and is warm and well insulated. It has been stylishly and sympathetically done. The owners seem to have thought of everything, it is very well appointed. We had a lovely (and unexpected!) welcome pack of milk, bread, bacon, crumpets and chocolate croissants, left for us in the kitchen.
There are two bedrooms one double (king size bed v comfortable) and another twin (two single beds and a further pull out bed). One bathroom with shower and one shower room.
We stayed with friends (another couple and teenage daughter) and they were very impressed with our choice.
The kitchen has all the equipment you could need including washing machine and dish washer. Very handy for a longer stay.
The guest book was full of praise for the cottage and I was in two minds whether or not to leave this review as it may get so popular it won't be available again! Sykes Cottages made booking very easy also, no problems there.....
Whitby is also lovely and very chilled with lots of dog friendly places to eat and drink.
We can thoroughly recommend a stay here.
