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.

This was our 2nd stay at the Black Pearl and it didnt disappoint. The rooms are well equipped and comfortable. Its not too far from all the shops and pubs but with most properties in Whitby its a hilly walk back to the apartment. Not a criticism just fact. The beds are comfortable and although there are blinds and curtains at the windows in the bedRead moreroom, it might be worth considering black out blinds or curtains as these would be a bonus. Since our previous visit the tv had been put on the wall rather than free standing. Personal opinion its placed too high. The tvs in the bedrooms are a little on the small side. These really are just personal choices and on the whole the apartment didnt disappoint. We had a lovely break it was comfortable and a quiet holiday. Would certainly return and would recommend to others. Hide

Lovely little place to stay and ideal location to the seaside, and perfect for walkers, and close to nice cafes and fish and chip shops. The only negative thing was all the stairs to the apartment, but it was mentioned at the time of booking

Lovely home from home.Clean and well equipped.You do need to be fully mobile as the apartment is accessed via 3 flights. No issue for me, however my elderly mother struggled a little. My fault as didn't realise there would be so many steps. Had a lovely 5 days and the dog loved it too.Nice touch having a welcome pack, free WiFi and Sky TV.

The Black Pearl had everything you needed. Clean and welcoming and comfy beds. Great location for town centre or the Beach. Great view of the Abbey from the street. Also lots of places in easy driving distance such as Scarborough, Robin Hoods Bay, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and Sandsen. Would highly recommend.
