Property code: OC-W1024

This spacious and stylish Whitby holiday apartment is the ideal destination for a family getaway or a small group of friends looking to explore the North Yorkshire coast. The property overlooks the tranquil waters of the River Esk, and is situated in a contemporary block just a half-mile walk away from the town centre. Accessed by both stairs and lift, the apartment is all located on one level, and provides ample space to relax.

The open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining room is great for coming together and socialising. It has a Juliet balcony with wonderful views over the river and comfortable seating arranged around the Smart TV – pop a DVD in and enjoy a night in with the family after a busy day of exploring. When you’re feeling peckish, the kitchen area has everything you could need to whip up something delicious and there’s a dining table to seat all four guests. There are two spacious bedrooms when night falls: one king-size and one twin, which both share the use of a family bathroom.

Only 0.5 miles from Whitby Abbey - known as the inspiration behind Bram Stoker’s Dracula - and just 1 mile from the beach, you can spend a day in the sun or take a coastal walk and breathe in the fresh air with ease. For more seaside fun, you can take longer trips to Runswick Bay (9 miles), or further south to the charming coastal village of Robin Hood’s Bay (5 miles). What’s more, you can experience the glorious North Yorkshire coast from the sea on one of Whitby’s many boat trips and take in stunning sunsets or spot seals and dolphins.

The location is good, also the car park. Cleanliness is awful.

The apartment was comfortable but needed few updates, heaters in bedrooms especially and we had hot water issue which wasn't resolved as couldn't get hold of owners. Nice to be able to park in secure underground parking and easy to walk to Whitby from where apartment was.

Ideal location, only a 10 minute walk into the centre of Whitby. Secure parking is a bonus. Would definitely go back again.
