Captain Cook’s Haven, near Whitby, Yorkshire, Yorkshire
In a quiet setting just 3km from the fascinating historical fishing town of Whitby on the North Yorkshire coast, Captain Cook’s Haven is a holiday village ideally placed for family holidays and breaks exploring both the coast and York, Castle Howard and the North Yorkshire Moors.
A good-value base, Captain Cook’s Haven has the benefit of an indoor pool and a playground, although there are no shops, bars or restaurants on site. Some of the self-catering cottages are privately owned so standards can vary; there’s also something of a modern housing estate feel to the buildings and layout.
