  • Luxury penthouse apartment that’s been finished to the highest of standards
  • Flooded with light and offering fantastic far-reaching views of Whitby Abbey and the North York Moors
  • Complete with its own roof terrace, this property is in a prime spot for a beachside break

Property code: OC-W449

An exquisite top-floor apartment with a wood-panelled rooftop oasis, located in a prime location within the picturesque town of Whitby. This luxurious escape is ideal for a celebratory escape with friends or family. Feel the salty ocean breeze in your hair as you glide through the North Sea on a unique whale-spotting boat trip from the harbour (500 metres), before sipping a sparkling sundowner on the chic rooftop terrace.

This bespoke penthouse property boasts an immaculately designed interior with striking ceiling windows, original exposed brickwork, tranquil driftwood details, and elegant soft furnishings. Slip off sandy shoes by the door then pad into the open-plan living space bathed in natural light. Gossip over a glass of wine perched on the plush armchairs or stretch out weary toes on the ottoman while you pour over a local guidebook. Eating in? Congregate around the wooden dining table to unwrap a salty fish supper and knock back some tipples. Keen chefs will delight in rustling up a fresh summer spread in the spacious shaker kitchen styled in marine blue and creamy neutral tones. After dinner, prepare a sweet treat or nightcap then step onto the terrace to stargaze beneath the twinkling night sky. Rest up in your choice of two tranquil bedrooms each with rustic exposed beams, Smart TVs, and high thread count linens. Choose between a bright twin and an inviting super-king. Embrace balmy summer days reading, snoozing, or scoffing al fresco meals on the secluded terrace.

Amble through the charming, cobbled streets of Whitby to scope out the best coffee nooks, restaurants, and independent shops (within 100 metres). Brave an invigorating dip in the waters of Whitby Beach (300 metres) or venture further afield to fossil hunt on the legend-steeped shores of Robin Hood’s Bay (6 miles).

Very nicely decorated top floor flat, in a perfect position in Whitby. About 70 steps up to the apartment, so only for the fit and able. The common areas of the building are in dire need of a refurbishment and there has been a severe leak in one hallway, but that doesn't detract at all from this lovely apartment.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay here. The amount of effort put into the design and functionality of this accommodation really sets it apart. The incorporation of new and old elements of the building such as the ceiling beams and the reclaimed wood furniture, the color scheme, the stunning views, the spacious and yet cosy feel, the cleanliness and atRead moretention to detail all combine to make for a truly delightful stay. The location is perfect, close to the whalebone arches and a walk down to the sea, or down to Flowergate with its amazing array of cafes, shops, and pubs. The climb up the stairs is legitimate exercise and we didn't mind it. We only had one issue in our month's stay, with hot water going out briefly and it was handled with care and expedience. Truly a one of a kind place we hope to revisit. Hide

The place was really clean and the beds were comfy. There were hair driers and all the things youd expect in the kitchen.

Theres a lot of steps up to the property and as someone who is 63 the eaves made life a bit harder than I thought, well worth it for the amazing views over Whitby though! The property has lots of games and books for adults and children. Overall, we had a lovely stay in the apartment and Whitby in general, would visit again. Hide

Abby View is the best holiday accommodation we have stayed in over the years, the attention to detail is so nice. It has everything you could possible need or want during a vacation. Just lovely, top marks, 10 out of 10.

Wonderful apartment in great location in Whitby. We werent blessed with good weather but we were more than happy to hide from the rain in cosy and well equipped Abbey Lookout. Loved the overall feel of the apartment and all the lovely decorations - great view from the windows too - we were definitely fitter at the end of the week too! ( great viewRead mores come with many stairs). Would definitely stay in Abbey lookout again if visiting Whitby. Hide
