Holiday Let Management in Whitby

Our Whitby Holiday Rentals business is growing, and our properties are bucking the current trend of reduced reservations and discounted rates.

The obvious question is, why? What makes Whitby Holiday rentals so different?

The honest answer is we never set out to build a holiday rental business, back in 2020 we bought two holiday lets in the town and put them with a major holiday lettings company to promote and manage, we did this because despite owning our own media agency promoting clients businesses across the country, we felt that we should leave our own properties to the experts.

We didn’t set high revenue expectations for our holiday lets, however after a few months we decided to go it alone as we were getting limited bookings unless we heavily discounted. Our thought process was if we couldn’t market our own properties with our whole team of marketing experts then perhaps, we should give up the day job too.

So, our web team built our site whitbyholidayrentals.co.uk, we hooked up with Booking.com & Airbnb and set about learning the business.

Four years on purely through recommendation we now market seven properties (plus another one joining us in May) and look after the whole process for all our owners, including guest liaison, cleaning, and property maintenance.

Holiday Let Management in Whitby & Local support

We have teamed up with a local cleaning / maintenance company who do a fantastic job, are based in Whitby and most importantly quickly respond to any issues that may come up. As back up to this we have, an electrician and plumber with call out agreements and even offer gardening and window cleaning services through our trusted third-party suppliers.

Our owners give us great feedback, as an example below is the response from one of our two bedroom apartment owners in the town which came in when they received there April income.

Holiday Let Management in Whitby
“Morning, thanks so much 😊I am so pleased that I’ve gone with you guys. It makes such a difference 😊.”

Whitby Holiday Let Management That Delivers

As a snapshot our seven properties have so far this year generated gross income of £125,000.

(bookings taken Jan to April 2025) with more bookings coming in every day. We manage a mix of 1,2 & 3 bedroom properties, apartments and houses and as mentioned previously look after the entire process for all our owners.

Whitby Holiday Rentals has grown without trying by being honest, having no hidden charges, no surprise invoices and no contracts that tie owners in for long periods and restrict owner bookings.

If you are a holiday let owner and our story rings true to yours, then why not get in touch and see if we can make a difference for you too.

Family-Friendly Days Out for Your Easter Break in Whitby

Whitby has long been the complete package for a family Easter Break in Whitby amongst the sea breezes. Families will find plenty to explore and enjoy in this picturesque town, which presents exciting activities for the Easter season. So, discover the best family-friendly adventures that Whitby has to offer with North Yorkshire back in bloom.

Whitby Holiday Rentals has the following recommendations for every spring break in Whitby.

Easter Break in Whitby

Easter in Whitby is when Whitby fully restores its character after winter, with the thrill of easter eggs. The Whitby Easter Egg Hunt is a popular seasonal highlight for parents and children alike.

Celebrate the Season in Whitby

Alongside the egg hunt, many of the town’s cultural and historical venues offer special Easter activities. Look out for workshops and family-friendly exhibitions that allow children to engage with Whitby’s heritage. For example, our local museums often host Easter-themed crafts and learning sessions for fun and education for all ages.

Explore Whitby’s Beaches for Family Fun

Whitby’s beaches are North Yorkshire’s premier beaches for families looking to spend the day. Specifically, the golden sand and incredible views make Whitby Beach a hub of relaxation for all.

Kids can dig in the sand, chase waves, or fly a kite whilst you soak in the relaxing atmosphere. Bring a picnic or portion of fish and chips to enjoy lunch with harbour views.

On the other hand, you can always take the stroll down to Sandsend Beach for a quieter escape. Soak in the natural beauty of Sandsend, which is ideal for evening walks and dog walks. Sandsend is a different pace, essentially being the peaceful corner of Whitby during Whitby’s Spring renaissance.

Outdoor Adventures and Scenic Walks

Whitby’s surroundings are perfect for those who love the great outdoors. Most visitors start with a walk up to Whitby Abbey and along the cliff-top paths for panoramic coastal views. The trails are ideal for families seeking a scenic outing or a more energetic hike with rewarding views at every turn.

For sightseers, the route towards Robin Hood’s Bay hosts some of England’s most beloved views of the sea. Alternatively, rent bikes and explore Whitby and its surrounding areas at your own pace. The town’s bike-friendly routes make it easy for families to enjoy a leisurely ride in stunning landscapes.

For a bit of family-friendly competition, visit one of the local mini-golf courses or enjoy an afternoon in the arcades. These traditional seaside holiday destinations will keep kids entertained and you relaxed.

Whale Watching and Boat Tours

Spring boat tours are the perfect way to take in the beauty of Whitby’s coastline and spot incredible wildlife. Heading onto the sea, you will see seals, seabirds, and perhaps even dolphins in their natural habitat. Additionally, spring signals the return of whale-watching excursions, providing a thrilling chance to witness these magnificent creatures.

Alternatively, a harbour boat tour offers a more relaxed experience with incredible views of Whitby’s harbour district. Gliding through the waters, you will see the town from different angles. Not to mention the chance to interact with North Yorkshire’s maritime history.

Family Dining in Whitby & Delicious Treats by the Sea

No day out is complete without enjoying great food, and Whitby’s eateries are acknowledged nationwide. The town is known for its fish and chips, so there is no shortage of family-friendly restaurants offering this British classic. However, there is a whole host of restaurants near the harbour that provide stunning views as you dine.

Treat yourself to a cone of ice cream or rock candy from Whitby’s seaside souvenir shops. Nothing is better than strolling along the pier with a scoop of your favourite flavour on a spring afternoon. The town’s cafés are brunch hotspots for a light bite, serving everything from sandwiches and scones to hearty soups.

Make Lasting Memories during your Easter Break in Whitby

Whitby offers a wealth of experiences that will create cherished memories for your family. Enjoy North Yorkshire’s beaches, rich heritage, seasonal events, and more. Beyond this, venture into the rest of North Yorkshire, such as Scarborough, Filey, and Staithes.

The combination of outdoor activities and fascinating heritage makes Whitby a wonderful place to spend your Easter break. Stay with Whitby Holiday Rentals and immerse yourself in the beauty and charm of this captivating coastal town.

History of Bagdale Hall

Whitby’s historic and beloved Bagdale Hall is a Tudor masterpiece that has stood the test of time. This magnificent structure is now known as the Bagdale Hall Hotel and is one of Whitby’s most renowned landmarks. With centuries of history and its charm and character makes it a key attraction in Whitby, North Yorkshire.

Origins of Bagdale Hall

Built in 1516, Bagdale Hall Whitby was the residence of Browne Bushell. He was a wealthy merchant who played a significant role in bolstering the local maritime economy. It was situated near Whitby’s bustling harbour and was ideally placed for overseeing trade and shipping ventures.

The Hall’s sturdy stone construction and traditional Tudor features include oak beams and leaded glass windows. This quite beautifully reflects the prosperity of its original owner.

Hall’s legacy deepened in the 17th century with Browne Bushell’s descendants, also named Browne Bushell. This figure became a controversial character, infamous as a pirate and privateer during the English Civil War. His life ended dramatically with his execution for treason, and his association with Whitby Bagdale Hall has left an air of mystery around the property ever since.

Evolution of Bagdale Hall

Through the Georgian and Victorian eras, Bagdale Hall Whitby, North Yorkshire, evolved with the times. Although it retained its Tudor essence, it underwent modifications that better suit the appearance and needs of these eras. By the 19th century, the Hall served as a boarding house, catering to Whitby’s new status as a seaside retreat.

Over the years, the Hall earned a reputation for its atmospheric charm. Tales of ghostly sightings have long surrounded Bagdale Hall Hotel in Whitby, with some claiming the spirit of Browne Bushell lingers. Whether fact or folklore, these stories only add to the allure of this historic property.

Historic Things to Do in Whitby

Whitby isn’t just a North Yorkshire seaside escape—it is a portal to centuries of history and lore alike. Steeped in tales of explorers, ancient abbeys, and literary legends, this charming town offers countless means of exploration. So, step back in time with these things to do in Whitby Town Centre.

Follow Whitby Holiday Rentals’ guide to experiencing Whitby’s rich heritage, which is perfect for families looking to enjoy memorable, history-filled adventures.

Climb to Whitby Abbey and Explore the Roots of Gothic Lore

Perched on the East Cliff, Whitby Abbey has cast its awe-inspiring shadow over the town since the 7th century. This storied ruin—haunted by legends and immortalised in Bram Stoker’s Dracula—thus perfectly captures Whitby’s gothic allure. Beyond its captivating past, the abbey offers breathtaking Whitby and the North Sea views after climbing the 199 steps.

Visiting during the annual Whitby Goth Weekend in spring or autumn brings another layer of magic. Special evening tours and dramatic lighting turn the abbey into an enchanting—sometimes eerie—setting. Above all, this will make for educational and thrilling experiences for families.

Whitby Abbey

The abbey ruins, through fascinating architectural remains, reveal tales of Viking attacks, medieval monastic life, and Victorian explorers. During the summer, families can immerse themselves in history as the abbey comes alive with medieval reenactments. This is complete with armoured knights, live demonstrations, and games for children.

Embark on an Adventure at the Captain Cook Memorial Museum

Dive into Whitby’s maritime heritage at the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, an attraction sure to spark children’s curiosity and awe. Housed in the very building where young James Cook lived, the museum invites families to explore the rooms where the legendary navigator first dreamed of his voyages around the world. Stepping into the museum is like boarding a ship into the past, filled with maps, tools, and personal belongings.

The interactive displays let young visitors try their hand at map reading and using navigational instruments for a hands-on experience. For an even greater thrill, visit during a school holiday when the museum offers craft workshops. This is where children can create their seafaring artefacts from Cook’s incredible global journeys.

A harbour cruise on the replica HMS Endeavour can cap off this nautical adventure. Here families can sail the waters Cook himself once navigated, for a new perspective on the town’s seafaring legacy.

Whitby Beach

Seeking Traditional Fun with a Historic Twist? Spend a Day on Whitby Beach!

Whitby’s beach is an inviting mix of old-fashioned seaside charm and adventure, perfect for family holidays. Beyond the soft sands ideal for sandcastle building, Whitby Beach is part of the Jurassic Coast.

The beach reveals rock pools and fossils with each low tide, transforming a beach day into an interactive treasure hunt.

During the summer, traditional seaside activities like donkey rides along the sand and stalls selling local ice cream make Whitby Beach a family favourite.

Those feeling adventurous can take up paddleboarding or surfing on Whitby’s waves, with rental shops and lessons available nearby. Above all, stop by one of the many beachside cafés for fish and chips or a local Whitby gingerbread.

Embrace Whitby’s Vibrant Festivities: Seasonal Events for All Ages

Whitby’s rich traditions and community spirit shine through its many festivals, turning each season into a celebration of history. Whitby Regatta, held every August, is a staple of the town’s social calendar with roots in the early 19th century. Spanning three days, the regatta invites families to watch exciting rowing races and enjoy fairground rides and food stalls.

Another family-friendly highlight is the Whitby Folk Week, a lively mix of traditional music and storytelling to the town. And come winter, Whitby’s Christmas Festival transforms the town into a festive wonderland, with twinkling lights and lantern parade. Along with a cosy holiday market, that winds through the streets— a magical experience of Whitby holiday cheer.

Stroll Through Whitby’s Historic Streets and Local Shops

Cafés and tearooms along these streets are perfect for a cosy pit stop. Many are tucked inside historic buildings and offer delicious treats, from warm scones to the region’s signature Whitby gingerbread. Botham’s of Whitby is a beloved spot where families can indulge in traditional cakes, while Humble Pie ‘n’ Mash serves up classic British fare in a nostalgic setting.

Whitby’s winding streets and narrow alleyways are filled with secrets waiting to be uncovered. With cobbled lanes and historic architecture, Church Street is a delight for families who want to shop for unique finds.
