Whitby
Whitby is a popular choice for visitors all year round. It is well known for its long sandy beach and delicious seafood. For a different day out, why not climb the famous 199 steps to reach the ruins of Whitby Abbey. It's said to have been the inspiration for Bram Stokers Count Dracula, and its gothic splendour is the perfect place from which to take in some truly stunning views over the town.

Whitby harbour is steeped in history and visitors can see where British explorer Captain James Cook first worked as an apprentice before setting sail and discovering Australia. The harbour is a buzz of activity and you can enjoy early mornings watching the fishing boats come ashore before getting first choice of their catch. There's always something happening throughout the town , and festivals and fairs are held throughout the year including Whitby Goth Festival, Whitby Folk Week and the Whitby Regatta.

The apartment was absolutely perfect for our week away for Halloween and to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. The apartment was clean, cosy and very well equipped. I was also very pleased to have a personal email from the owner telling us about directions and how to access the underground carpark. Having that carpark was a game changer as WhitbRead morey is very busy during the day so we didn't have the hassle in looking for someplace to park the car. The beds in the apartment were so comfy and it was also really lovely to have a small outside space to sit to enjoy a cup of tea. The apartment was literally a two minute walk away from Whitby Harbour so it was accessible for every aspect of the town centre. We had a fantastic week and would highly recommend for anyone looking for a great place in Whitby to stay at the Driftwood apartment. Thank you for a wonderful time. Yorkshire is so special and we loved our time away in Whitby. Hide

A little gem of a place. Quiet location, but close, easy walking distance to town centre, either down some steps or down the slight hill. A real bonus was secure underground parking. I highly recommend this place, it's clean and comfortable, it will be the first place I would try to book if I come back to whitby

We really enjoyed staying in this property - it has everything that you need and is really comfortable. It is in a quiet location but still within walking distance of everything you need.The only downside is that the wifi was not very strong but I understand that is an issue throughout the town.
