Enjoying a wonderful harbourside spot in the heart of Whitby and boasting wonderful views of the abbey and St Mary’s Church, this homely retreat is the perfect base for couples and families looking to discover the magnificent North Yorkshire coastline.
Kick off your shoes and hang up your coat in the entrance hallway before heading into the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner at the heart of this home-from-home.

The contemporary family shower room on this floor offers everything you need to feel refreshed. Accessed via the king-size bedroom, the charming garden with a patio and small lawn is ideal for a spot of al fresco dining as you watch the steam trains pass by. Outside, you’ll also find private parking for one car.
The seaside town of Whitby is steeped in maritime history, known for its impressive harbour, picturesque beaches and the remains of the Gothic-style Whitby Abbey on the clifftops.

Enjoy a traditional bucket and spade day at the seaside at beach hut-lined West Cliff Beach a mile away, or along the gloriously golden stretches of Robin Hood’s Bay, Runswick Bay or Port Mulgrave, all within 10 miles.
