On International Women's Day, we celebrate the incredible women with ties to Whitby who have left an indelible mark on the town's rich history.

📖 Elizabeth Gaskell: A Victorian novelist, Elizabeth penned timeless classics like "North and South." Her connection to Whitby fueled her research for "Sylvia’s Lovers," weaving tales that endure.

⚓ Dora Walker: A true Whitby icon, Dora was a skilled long-liner, navigator, and wartime hero. Her legacy lives on with a statue and a Blue Plaque, forever part of Whitby's maritime story.

⚽ Beth Mead MBE: Hailing from Hinderwell, Beth's journey from village footballer to Women's England Football Team is nothing short of extraordinary. Breaking records and winning hearts, she's a source of immense pride.

🎨 Dame Laura Knight and Emma Stothard: Trailblazing in the arts, Dame Laura Knight contributed to the Staithes Group, while sculptor Emma Stothard brought the Whitby Sculpture Trail to life.

💼 Mayor Elizabeth Roy and Countless Unsung Heroes: Women like Mayor Elizabeth Roy and generations of Whitby's women who contributed to our community, shaped families, and built businesses. Their impact is immeasurable.

🐾✨ Whitby's Polar Bear Tale: A Historic Gem! ✨🏰

During your stay at Amber Cottage discover a hidden tale above Holland & Barrett—the story of a polar bear perched majestically, silently narrating the town's rich history.

In the 1700s and 1800s, Whitby thrived as a whaling port, led by the Scoresby family. William Scoresby Senior, a skilled navigator, and his scientist son, William Junior, embarked on expeditions capturing over 533 whales.

During one mission, an unexpected shipmate joined—the polar bear cub, tamed with whale meat treats. Back in Whitby, the bear became a sensation, swimming in the River Esk and delighting tourists. Yet, a fateful day saw the bear break free, causing chaos in the old town.

Cornered by locals, the bear's fate hung in the balance until Scoresby appeared. The bear, now fully grown, licked Scoresby's hand, calmed, and was safely leashed away.

Despite the heartwarming bond, authorities deemed the bear too risky, sending it to the Tower Zoo in London. Today, the model polar bear proudly stands—a symbolic nod to Whitby's enthralling past. 📜🐻✨

Our most recent review 🌟😊 - we love it when our guest enjoy Amber Cottage as much as we do. 💗

My girlfriend and I had a lovely weekend in Whitby at Amber Cottage. The cottage was very charming, exactly as advertised, spotlessly clean and with all the facilities we needed. Sadly we didn't bring our children as they'd have loved the top floor bedroom with views over to the Abbey, but in any case, we thoroughly enjoyed it, as did our dog, Millie. The cottage is in a great location - central but quiet and private. Would definitely recommend and would return. Host was helpful and communicative.
