We loved the juxtaposition between this industrial modern apartment and its traditional seaside resort surroundings. The interiors are right on trend – exposed brick walls and distressed wood combine with matte black metal accents and slate grey finishes in the kitchenette. The comfy tufted sofa is a welcome sight after climbing the town’s famous 199 steps, and the king-size bed with only the best quality sheets guarantees sweet dreams every night. While you’re fully set up for cooking at home, you’re mere seconds from a mouth-watering selection of restaurants and pubs. Whitby has a sterling reputation for its fish and chips, so grab a portion to take away and dig in on the West Pier, a ten-minute walk from your home. Frolic on the beach and watch the ships slip over the horizon – go for a paddle if you’re feeling brave enough. Or find your sea legs and embark on a boat trip in search of whales, dolphins and seals – the cruise departs 300 feet from your front door.
