  • A spacious second-floor apartment perfect for families
  • Situated along the beautiful West Cliff of Whitby
  • Within easy reach of the Esplanade, beach and Swing Bridge

Property code: OC-W979

A contemporarily-styled second-floor apartment on the West Cliff within 100 metres of the North Promenade. Featuring a lounge/kitchen/diner, two bedrooms and easy access to a host of Whitby’s most renowned attractions, this apartment is perfect for small families or groups seeking a relaxing break by the seaside.

Flanked by colourful period properties in an area brimming with shops and restaurants, this apartment is finished to a high standard, with characterful and occasionally colourful soft furnishings found throughout. Accessed via a shared lobby and flight of stairs, the apartment’s deceptively large lounge/kitchen/diner features an original piece of work from a local artist, with a host of practical and technical gadgetry close at hand. Both the king-size bedroom and the twin bedroom are beautifully furnished, ensuring a comfortable night’s rest for guests of all ages. A family bathroom stands nearby. The absence of outside space at the apartment is compensated for by its enviable location, which ensures early access to a host of attractions.

Whitby’s many cultural, historical and maritime attractions can all be found within a short distance of one another, with something for all ages and interests around each corner. The abbey ruins stand 0.5 miles away, and the view from there across the River Esk towards Whitby’s quayside, harbour and vast beach (within 300 metres) is a sight to behold. Sandsend (3 miles) is accessible via a walk along the coast, a wander around Robin Hood’s Bay’s characterful streets (7 miles) is never time wasted, while the natural landscape of the North York Moors National Park (2.5 miles) is breathtaking.

We had a brilliant stay at the black pearl .very close to the bars and shops and also the great views along the west cliffs and whale bones. We had a very warm welcome and the complimentary parking passes were a life saver.we enjoyed our time there and can't wait to stay there again.

We really enjoyed our recent stay at the Black Pearl in Whitby The apartment was really lovely and we would recommend to anyone Please be advised, the apartment is up quite a lot of stairs (2 floors up) so not suitable for everyone

Comfortable and cosy apartment, great location within short walking distance to the centre. Nice welcome pack provided. The scratch card parking permit provided by the owner, was also very useful.

Comfortable flat in a great location. Some really good walks along the coast and in the moors accessible from town or via local buses/train. We recommend Humble Pie n Mash over the river.

This was our 2nd stay at the Black Pearl and it didnt disappoint. The rooms are well equipped and comfortable. Its not too far from all the shops and pubs but with most properties in Whitby its a hilly walk back to the apartment. Not a criticism just fact. The beds are comfortable and although there are blinds and curtains at the windows in the bedRead moreroom, it might be worth considering black out blinds or curtains as these would be a bonus. Since our previous visit the tv had been put on the wall rather than free standing. Personal opinion its placed too high. The tvs in the bedrooms are a little on the small side. These really are just personal choices and on the whole the apartment didnt disappoint. We had a lovely break it was comfortable and a quiet holiday. Would certainly return and would recommend to others. Hide

Lovely little place to stay and ideal location to the seaside, and perfect for walkers, and close to nice cafes and fish and chip shops. The only negative thing was all the stairs to the apartment, but it was mentioned at the time of booking

Lovely home from home.Clean and well equipped.You do need to be fully mobile as the apartment is accessed via 3 flights. No issue for me, however my elderly mother struggled a little. My fault as didn't realise there would be so many steps. Had a lovely 5 days and the dog loved it too.Nice touch having a welcome pack, free WiFi and Sky TV.
