Wintertime is just about over and with it goes the long drawn out evenings and the dark early mornings. It might be cosy to stay indoors in front of the fire of an evening and, if possible, to lie in bed that extra five minutes, in the warmth of the bed in an early morning but spring is just around the corner.

With early spring comes the expectation of a brand-new beginning. A new start to the coming milder weather and the lighter nights. Happily, thoughts are turning to the possibility of a break away be it for a weekend a few days or even a full weeks holiday.

Looking through the holiday brochures to find an ideal location is one of life’s little treats.Scanning through the pages to find that ideal location or even looking at the adverts on the television, contributes to the excitement. With the modern day convenience of the internet it is possible to search for a fantastic holiday destination online with the additional attraction that there will be detailed descriptions of the attractions and amenities. It is also possible to view holiday accommodation that is available and, in deed, if there are any vacancies and how to book online.

One town, popular as a holiday destination which appears on television and in the National Press, is the lovely fishing town of Whitby. This ancient maritime port in the County of North Yorkshire is an ideal place to spend a few days of even weeks. Main roads lead into the town from three ways of the moors. Travelling from the south via Scarborough or from the north via Guisborough on the A171 or from York via the A169 Pickering Moor Road. Rail travel can be accessed from the Esk Valley Whitby to Middlesbrough line and also the North Yorkshire Moors Railway which departs from Pickering. Coach travel and public service buses are an alternative way to arrive, timetables are easily accessible or can be downloaded.

Cafes and restaurants are in abundance for the visitor after a prolonged journey and are an perfect way to take refreshment before looking for overnight accommodation. The visitors who are well organised will, no doubt, have pre-booked their holiday accommodation in advance. For the rest there is the problem of exactly where to stay.

This is where the Whitby B&B accommodation providers hold the winning hand. Positioned at many locations around the town but predominately on the West Cliff, there are a wide variety of differing types of bed and breakfast holiday accomodations to suit even the most discerning visitor. Each individually owned and unique, there is a incredible choice available.

One or two may be recognisable from the brochures or from the internet, but many more will be waiting to be discovered. Smaller sized than the hotels and bigger guest houses, the B&B’s are more often than not, a family home, run under the personal supervision of the homeowner. Guests are, therefore, assured of a warm welcome. Facilities may not be available as in the bigger hotels and guest houses, ie televisions and full breakfast menu choice (possibly en-suite facilities) but this is more than compensated by the tariff and personal attention.

Without the costly overheads of the larger establishments, the bed and breakfast owner can generally charge a more modest amount for accommodation. But, as in all aspects of life, there will be some that are more luxurious than others but that is the half the pleasure of discovering ones own particular favourite. An different option for those on a budget, but with a love of the outdoors might be to choose Whitby Campsites.
