Why stay here ...
Poverty Cottage CL site is set within the North Yorkshire Moors National Park with magnificent views of the Yorkshire coast, a peaceful 4 van site with the charms of Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay nearby. Close to the Cleveland Way coastal path and the disused railway line that ran from Whitby to Robin Hoods Bay making it perfect for walkers.
2 miles from Whitby you can wake up to the amazing view of Whitby Abbey.
Explore the charms of Whitby or just a short drive away to the picturesque Robin Hood's Bay, Runswick Bay and Staithes with beautiful beaches.
Heading out of Whitby the Esk Valley full of woodlands, pretty waterfalls and pleasant dales that sweep up to the open moors. The village of Goathland, made famous by the Heartbeat series, is also a short drive away through the stunning landscape and nearby at Grosmont, a ride can be enjoyed on the nostalgic steam train line to Pickering, one of the most scenic preserved lines in Britain.
Close by the villages of Hawsker and Stainsacre both have pubs serving excellent food.

Great little CL site
Poverty Cottage
This is a lovely little CL site with lovely views of the sea and abbey within easy reach of Whitby, the coastal walking paths and cycle route 1 plus the cinder bike trail which goes from Whitby to Scarborough. We had a friendly arrival by Mr Jo (sorry didn't your name) and shown to our good sized pitch:) There is also a little information hut which was useful for getting your bearings. Make sure you check out the Whitby Brewery which is opposite the abbey! Will definitely be back!

Beautiful location.
Poverty Cottage
I was met by Jo as soon as I arrived, because of the wet weather I was given the choice of grass or hardstanding. When the sea fret cleared I had a glorious view of the Abbey and the sea beyond. There is a public footpath next to the site, my dog gives that 5 stars. This was my last stop before home, I wanted somewhere to chill and just read. This was the perfect stop for me. On my list of return sites.
Perfect CL when visiting Whitby
Poverty Cottage
Had a very pleasant 2 night stay here. Was met by the owner, Jo, who showed me around. 2 hard standing pitches and 3 grass although they weren't in use because of the weather. Lots of fabulous walks right from the site including a coast walk into Whitby vianthe Abbey (and brewery!) Good value at £22 including 10 units of electricity which was just right for me. No showers or toilet but everything else you need which is all you can ask of a CL. There was even a very useful information shed. I would happily return.

Perfect
Poverty Cottage
What can we say other than perfect.
We had a lovely welcome from Jo who showed us around the site. The hard standings are level and all the other facilities are great too. We can’t think that there’s anything missing or anything that could possibly be improved.
As for the views , they are perfect too . To be able to look down to see the Abbey and Whitby Harbour is wonderful. The walking too is great and just on the doorstep.
We really can’t fault this site and will definitely be coming back, only sorry that we booked our Motorhome for just two nights.
Lovely quiet site
Poverty Cottage
We stayed here just after Easter. It's a lovely site with everything you need (if you are self-contained). There is drinking water, a grey waste drain and an Elsan disposal point. Easy walk down the lane to Whitby Abbey and the town. Very friendly owners. Perfect for what we needed. We'll be back!
