Property code: OC-W945

A characterful two-storey apartment located on the West Cliff within 500 metres of the seafront. Featuring a bright and airy lounge/kitchen/diner, two bedrooms and a small patio garden, this reverse-level apartment is ideal for small families or groups keen to discover the historic North Yorkshire Coast and North York Moors National Park.

Set across from St Hilda’s Church and surrounded by stunning Victorian properties, the apartment offers a bounty of comfortable soft furnishings across large rooms with high ceilings draped in natural light. Entering the lower ground floor hallway via the patio area, discover the welcoming arms of the en-suite double bedroom and twin bedroom. Both are tastefully decorated and remain in step with the building’s past, with the bonus of a small bathroom nearby. A large lounge/kitchen/diner dominates the first floor; it is a neatly arranged space with dual-aspect views of the surrounding area through large windows. The small patio area at the front of the apartment is an ideal place to read a morning paper or chat over a coffee as the sounds of the coastline ring in the air.

Whitby’s iconic seafront lies within 500 metres of the apartment, and it's only around 0.5 miles into its historic town centre, quayside and family-friendly shops, cafes and restaurants. Hop over the River Esk into the old town and climb 199 steps to reach the ruins of its clifftop abbey - the views are worth the journey alone. The streets and vast beach at Robin Hood’s Bay (7 miles) have been popular with generations of visitors to North Yorkshire, while the natural wonder of the North York Moors National Park (2.5 miles) is an absolute must for ardent walkers.

Great location, close to everywhere. Small but somehow felt spacious, lovely bay windows with side sea view. Nice apartment with well stocked kitchen and big soft bath towels. Decor probably due a lick of paint but still good value for money. I would stay here again.

Great location. Spacious. Looks much better in the photos. Its a well worn place. Sadly this is the second and last time booking with Ingrid Flutes. I cannot recommend based on this experience Some little touches would go a long way to improving the overall experience. I had problems with the cleaner on check in and check out. The bedrooRead morem windows are painted shut. Some basic items are missing from the kitchen and some are broken and in poor repair. I bought chopping boards as there werent any. Some of the sharp knives are broken and dangerous. There is flaking paint in the entrance and on the bannister. The shower in the en suite is dodgy. The shower head flops and the door needs to be banged to close it. The bath taps dont work, you can only fill the bath via the shower head The owners and cleaner ignored my request for a later check out, which is 9am Disappointing. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk - Thank you for your feedback the comments have been fed back to the owner for their attention. Hide

We had a lovely week here, the location is perfect for the beach and cafes. It was really easy to get in and out with a pram, even with the few steps, and the windows are so big it's really bright and we even got to watch the sunset a few times.

Great location and a lovely comfortable apartment. For us 2 it was perfect, but it's bigger than it looks with the extra bedroom having bunks if you have the family along. Our 2nd time here and we'd definitely go back again, so that says it all really! Thanks!

If arriving by car. Read and complete parking permit accurately due to avoid a ticket from the Warden.
