Overview
Property code: OC-L20748

A well-styled home in the heart of historic Whitby, this property is an ideal retreat for a family or group of friends. A fantastic choice for visitors year-round, Whitby is well known for its long sandy beach and delicious seafood. The inspiration for Bram Stoker's novel Count Dracula, the ruins of Whitby Abbey can be reached by climbing the 199 steps from the old 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. In addition to the town’s fantastic mix of boutique shops, traditional stores, tea rooms and excellent restaurants, numerous festivals and fairs are held throughout the year. These include Whitby Folk Week, the Whitby Regatta, and the twice-yearly Whitby Goth Weekend.

Climbing two short flights of stairs, you pass through the wood-floored hallway into the beautiful living/dining area. Here, original wooden panelling adds a touch of grandeur to this comfortable room. Two sofas and two armchairs offer cosy places to relax with a Smart TV next to the feature fireplace. The well-appointed kitchen features a tiled splash-back. Upstairs, you will find the first two bedrooms – one is a double and one is a twin. Both have their own stylish en-suite shower rooms. A further flight of stairs takes you to the sumptuous master bedroom with an inviting king-size bed under the sloping ceiling. This floor also houses a gorgeous bathroom with a free-standing bath, perfect for soaking the legs after a day exploring this fascinating town.

Nice and clean, good location. But you have to bring your own toilet rolls and dishwasher tablets as owner only leaves one roll per bathroom and four dishwasher tablets. We were a family of six adults so not nearly enough for one week.

Beautiful quirky old apartment, felt like we were in a sailing ship! So well placed for lovely cafes and restaurants in Church St, Bridge St and surrounds - brunch at Mr Cooper's Coffee House and dinner at The Edge and Cosa Nostra were particular highlights. Close to the Abbey, and just a short walk across the bridge to the town and beach. Really wRead moreell equipped, spacious rooms. The only downside for us was noise from seagulls (but it is a seaside town!) and reversing delivery lorries outside in the early morning - the only reason for marking down on comfort. Parking is a real challenge in Whitby, we had 2 cars and ended up parking for the full week in the small council car park in Church St just a 5 minute walk away. We didn't manage to find any W spaces, and they were more of a walk away anyway. It was around 10 per day for the car park and saved the stress of trying to re-park after being out and about. EV chargers there were regularly blocked by ICE cars but I did manage to charge. We walked around Whitby, took the bus to Robin Hood's Bay for 2 each way and had a trip on the NYM Railway. The bus and train station are very easy to get to on foot and we would have likely used public transport for any other outings. Whitby is lovely for a short break. Hide
