  • Luxury penthouse apartment that’s been finished to the highest of standards
  • Flooded with light and offering fantastic far-reaching views of Whitby Abbey and the North York Moors
  • Complete with its own roof terrace, this property is in a prime spot for a beachside break

Property code: OC-W449

Once you can drag yourself away from the roof terrace and other luxuries of this gorgeous apartment, the historic seaside town of Whitby is ripe for exploration. Follow winding cobbled streets around to explore independent shops, take a whale-spotting boat trip from the harbour (less than 0.5 miles) or ascend the famous 199 steps to explore the literary classic of Whitby Abbey. The coastal towns along the Yorkshire Coast are connected by the Cleveland Way (3 miles), so feel free to link up with this clifftop path to admire seascapes all the way up to Staithes (10 miles) and beyond.

Enter the property via the front courtyard and head upstairs. Boasting a nautical theme throughout, using touches of industrial style mixed with modern driftwood beach décor, it's clear the owners have used the coastal location of this luxury apartment as inspiration when styling the accommodation. A lounge/diner, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom await. The lounge, bathroom and both bedrooms feature large Velux skylights that flood these spaces with light. Spend an evening relaxing in the lounge/diner, sinking into a comfy sofa with the Smart TV on. The kitchen is a separate room and offers plenty of space for preparing a meal. Both bedrooms have been finished to a high standard, complete with Smart TVs. The stylish bathroom offers a rainfall shower and heated towel rails.

French doors from the lounge provide direct access to a suntrap roof terrace, complete with outdoor furniture for really taking in that fresh sea air on warm days.

The place was really clean and the beds were comfy. There were hair driers and all the things youd expect in the kitchen. There was plenty of on street parking, although I had to contact the management company to get an extension on the parking scratch card that allows you to park on the residential street, the office was just round the corner so aRead morell good. Theres a lot of steps up to the property and as someone who is 63 the eaves made life a bit harder than I thought, well worth it for the amazing views over Whitby though! The property has lots of games and books for adults and children. Overall, we had a lovely stay in the apartment and Whitby in general, would visit again. Hide

Abby View is the best holiday accommodation we have stayed in over the years, the attention to detail is so nice. It has everything you could possible need or want during a vacation. Just lovely, top marks, 10 out of 10.

Beautiful apartment with an amazing view of the Abbey that you could never tire of. Good quality fixtures and fittings that made it a very comfortable stay - home from home. Also decorated for Christmas which made it even more welcoming, plus a lovely welcome basket. If you can cope with the number of stairs up to the apartment you definitely woRead morent be disappointed. Hide

Wonderful apartment in great location in Whitby. We werent blessed with good weather but we were more than happy to hide from the rain in cosy and well equipped Abbey Lookout. Loved the overall feel of the apartment and all the lovely decorations - great view from the windows too - we were definitely fitter at the end of the week too! ( great viewRead mores come with many stairs). Would definitely stay in Abbey lookout again if visiting Whitby. Hide

This property really was home from home and worth every penny. Spotlessly clean and so much attention to detail with seaside themed decor throughout. A great location with stunning views across to the abbey and church from the main bedroom and lounge. Be advised there are lots of steps (67) up to the apartment and no lift, we all enjoyed the challeRead morenge a few times a day though but not sure Id have been so keen if I had really tiny children or an elderly relative with me. Think weve found our favourite place to stay in Whitby and Im sure well be back very soon. Thank you x Hide

Lovely apartment - better and more spacious than the pictures! Worth noting there are a lot of stairs, helpful to burn the fish and chips off. Really well equipped for families with lots of books and board games, comfortable beds and a well stocked kitchen. Overall a great stay in a great central location.

What a gem of a property. As much as we would like to keep this a place a secret all to ourselves it would be doing the owners a huge disservice. Strangely the pictures on the website don't truly represent how spacious and well appointed this flat really is. It is exceptionally clean and well appointed with a fantastic kitchen with full under countRead moreer fridge and separate freezer as well as a washer/dryer and a dishwasher as well. The bathroom is fantastic with a good size bath and huge walk in shower. The master bedroom is very large with a massive bed and amazing window overlooking the Abbey. There is no wardrobe as such but there is plenty of drawer space and there is a clothes rail that is large enough to hang up plenty of clothes. The double room is well spaced and equipped as well. The living room has a convenient cloakroom to one side of the entrance which is plenty big enough for several suitcases, shoes and coats. The livingroom itself has another wonderfully large window looking over towards the Abbey. Plenty of comfy seats to enjoy the view or watch tv. The dining table is a good size as well. Loads of board games for all ages and a very detailed welcome pack to go with a generous arrival hamper of local buiscuits, cake and tea. The outside seating area is plenty big enough to store bodyboards and dry wetsuits etc and has another good size table and 4 chairs (No abbey view though from the outside area, but that cant be helped). All in all this apartment is very difficult to better in Whitby for what it offers. We are very much looking forward to returning again. Hide
