Property code: OC-W463

Set on the eastern side of the River Esk, this delightful retreat has an allocated car space – a rarity in Whitby – and provides light, spacious accommodation for up to four guests seeking a relaxing holiday destination. The eastern part of town is home to the Captain Cook Memorial Museum and the remains of Whitby Abbey which are accessed via the famous 199 steps. Crossing over the Esk, the western part of town features attractions including Pannett Park, Whalebone Arch, the Endeavour Experience, the Dracula Experience and the beautiful sandy beach, all within a couple of miles. Heading inland you can enjoy long walks in the North York Moors, or go 5 miles along the coast to the idyllic Robin Hood’s Bay.

Entering the property, there’s a shared entrance hallway with stairs and a lift to take you up to this delightful apartment on the second floor. Stepping inside, you will find a large hallway with storage space before you head into the bright and welcoming open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The room is dominated by the big bay window allowing plenty of light to stream in, and offering far-reaching views over the surrounding area and towards the harbour. There’s also a window seat so you can sit back and watch the boats go by. The lounge offers a Smart TV and plenty of seating so you can unwind with a movie at the end of a memorable day. The central dining area is a great spot to get together to chat and share a family meal which you can rustle up in the stylishly designed and beautifully equipped kitchen. At the end of the day, there are two light and relaxing bedrooms, both with ample storage space: a beautiful king-size room and a pretty super-king-size zip-and-link which can be made up as a twin on request. The apartment also has a refreshing shower room.

Outside, there are shared gardens and a play park for younger guests.

The apartment is in a wonderful quiet area which has lovely views of Whitby. It is close to the old town and to a great pub called The Endeavour, which had live entertainment on all weekend. The beds are extremely comfortable, and the bedding sift and luxurious as are are the fluffy white towels. When we stayed the weather was extremely cold but Read morethe heating in the apartment kept us lovely and warm during our 3 night stay. Hide

Ideal location, quiet yet only 8 minute walk to swing bridge in the centre of Whitby. Bed was very comfortable. The parking place is a real bonus and near to the entrance door. Lift to apartment was very handy too. Would book again.

This is an amazingly clean and well equipped flat in a quiet location but easily walkable into Whitby town centre. The furnishings and bedding are of a very good quality and the carpets are immaculate. Having a parking space outside the front door is great especially with the prices of car parks in the town. The instructions for arrival were cleaRead morer and concise. We would certainly stay there again if we return to the area. Hide

The property was exactly as described but exceeded my expectations as regards space, equipment, furnishings and high quality beds and bed linen. The quiet location was perfect, yet it was close enough to comfortably walk into the centre of Whitby. I am slightly confused over who oversees /manages the properties hence hesitant in recommending.
