Perched on the banks of the River Esk in the charming town of Whitby, this light-flooded property offers a fantastic stay for ocean lovers, history buffs, and adventure-seekers alike. Families and groups of friends are sure to delight in a retreat to this elegant coastal home. Stroll beneath ancient arches at the majestic gothic ruins of Whitby Abbey (600 metres), before feasting at the wooden dining table with a serene river backdrop.
This tastefully appointed property boasts a relaxing interior with crisp neutral tones, warm wooden textures, and calming seascape artwork. Hang beach bags and outdoor gear in the hallway then venture into the bright lounge. Spot the fisherman’s boats bobbing in the marina as you recline on the sofas with a post-adventure drink or curl up with a book. Set the mood with a crowd-pleaser playlist on the Smart TV then cook up a storm in the airy shaker kitchen. Assist with food prep or recline on the rocking chair by the bay window and blether with the chef. Slide out a chilled bottle of bubbly from the fridge, raise a toast, then settle in for a relaxed evening meal in the dining space. As night falls, retire to the comfort of three inviting bedrooms. Choose from an en-suite king, or two further king size bedrooms – each with soft linens and coordinated throws.
Embark on a gentle stroll along the sandy shoreline of Whitby Beach (1 mile) or dive in for an afternoon of bodyboarding fun on the salty swells crashing ashore. Drink in sweeping coastal views from historic Whalebone Arch (1 mile) while the foodies of the group sample fresh crab claws and fish tacos at the beachfront restaurant in Sandsend (3.5 miles).
