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.

We really enjoyed our visit to this studio. The stairs are a pain but the living space was excellent.

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.

We loved our stay at The Studio on the Royal Crescent over New Year. The apartment is really well situated only a minute's walk from Whitby's famous whale bone arch and a walk down into the town. We knew we were on the top floor but weren't quite prepared for the amount of steps to climb to the flat, and then further steps to the bathroom! There arRead moree maybe 6 or 7 flights of stairs, so just be aware if you are planning on lugging a lot of stuff up there, have small children or elderly guests. However, we were happy to pay that price to have a quiet stay, away from everyone else, with only the Whitby wind and the sea for company. Views are wonderful. The flat itself was very comfortable, we loved the main living area which felt modern and stylish - plenty of space to lounge about - and the kitchen was clean and very well equipped. The main bedroom was comfortable and we didn't use the single room but it looked like it would be a cute room for a small child. The bathroom was up a small flight of stairs and we didn't love it, but it was functional. There was no extraction fan (you could open the Velux, but it tended to dump muck into the bath if we did that) and the arrangement of the small suite meant you had to be careful not to fall down the stairs when stepping out of the bath - not a space for romantic baths for two, but perfectly serviceable. We noted that most of the Velux windows could do with some servicing, one in the living room was letting in water when it rained, and they just needed a general scrub, wood treatment and painting of the surrounds. But really, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely consider coming back to The Studio. Hide
