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.

What a wonderful apartment, great location and superb views. Loved the huge sofa in the living area and great to have a dining area. Two bathrooms handy too! Didnt mind all the steps up to the apartment, felt on top of the world and all cosy after a day out exploring. Would definitely come back (with a slight change to the main bed!)

Really enjoyed our stay here. The views are fantastic and the flat was quiet and had everything we needed. Therere loads of good places to eat in Whitby- the magpie, mr chips and Bothams (the freshly made stotties are fantastic!) and plenty of things to see. We were relying on public transport and you can also get buses up the coast to Redcar and SRead morealtburn as well as down the coast to Scarborough. Id definitely stay here again! Hide

We had a lovely week staying in this apartment. It's perfectly located for exploring Whitby and the local area and has a lovely view of the coast and Whitby Abbey. We instantly felt at home here. Very well equipped and had everything we needed. Would certainly stay here again. However, if you aren't very mobile, this might not be the place for you.Read more It is on the 4th floor and there are around 80 steps to climb. Hide

There are lots of steps up to the flat but they are a cheap price to pay for a great location and views. You can admire the Abbey while doing the washing up in the kitchen. The shower is about the best I have ever had and the central heating gets the flat warm in no time. This was our second visit to this flat and would come again.

There are a lot of stairs which would be an issue for some but the property has fantastic views over the bay and is still close to the harbour and shops. It is a light, spacious, apartment with a very well equipped kitchen. Would recommend.
