Family holiday

This is our third visit to the cottage and like the garden and space. It's also very accessible for Whitby, the Abbey is always worth a visit and the town is a delight to wander through.

About the host

Hosted by Pauline Cameron

Host profile image
We retired in 2007 and moved to Whitby from Kent. The cottage included a field so we bought 5 alpacas to eat the grass. Alpacas appear to be addictive creatures and we got carried away and now have 20 alpacas and have had to rent more land down the road. We use the fleece to make yarn both handspun and machine spun which is available for sale.
We enjoyed meeting all the guests in Grain Cottage so when it went on sale we decide to buy it and continue to let it as a holiday cottage. After refurbishment we opened for business in July 2016.

Why they chose this property

We live in WheelHouse Cottage which is next door to Grain so when it came up for sale we bought it and continued letting it to holidaymakers.
