Awd Tuts 17th Century Cottage is right in the very heart of 'olde' Whitby Town. Awd Tuts has one en-suite bedroom with a large Victorian antique bed. A second bedroom , on the same floor as the jacuzzi bathroom , has one double bed and one single bed for your convenience. Awd Tuts is in one of the most sought after locations in Whitby. At night when the tides are right, you can hear the waves lapping at the stairs at the bottom of the alley leading to the harbour which is 20 metres away.



Awd Tuts Cottage

 

A Grade 2 17th century listed building - almost 400 years old Awd Tuts Cottage, was built in 1640 when Charles the First sat on the throne of England. Charles, who was later executed by beheading never had the chance to stay in our cosy cottage - pity! On the 30th January 1648, Charles was taken to the 'execution block' outside Whitehall Palace. Troopers on horseback kept the crowds some distance from the executioner's platform and it is unlikely that many people heard the speech he made just before a single swing of the axe rendered him headless!

Awd Tuts Cottage however, whilst being from the same historic era now offers modern comfort by the harbourside, in the cobbled centre of old Whitby town. 'Awd Tuts' is a four-storey, ex-fisherman's cottage with low ceilings, wooden beams and excellent facilities. Enjoy the character of this well-preserved building at its very best. Imagine the cottage's previous existence as a humble dwelling of the fisherfolk that helped mould Whitby into the bustling town it is today.

The cottage is ideally situated, being located within cobbled streets, amongst the ancient history of Whitby Abbey and its famous 199 steps, the Jet Works, old Kipper-Smoking Sheds, Market Square, numerous quaint shops, restaurants, tea rooms and picturesque harbour. The old quarter of Whitby is on the east side of the River Esk.
