Overlooking the breezy North Sea, this enviably positioned apartment exudes tranquillity. Plush furniture in the neutral-toned living space encourages relaxing at every opportunity – curl up on the sofa with a cup of Yorkshire tea before sitting down with a platter of nibbles in the contemporary kitchen diner. If the sun is shining, take your pick from one of two balconies and bask in the warm weather. When you’re keen to get to know your surroundings, it’s a two-minute stroll to Whitby Beach and fifteen minutes to the heart of town where you’ll find a number of bars, restaurants and those all-important fish and chip shops. Explore the eerie Abbey at the top of the famous 199 steps or why not try something a little different and embark on a whale-watching tour? The departure point is less than a ten-minute walk from your doorstep.

About Whitby
Famously the setting of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, there’s something hauntingly beautiful about Whitby. The ruins of Whitby Abbey, set atop a windy hill overlooking the town, are just like a scene from a gothic novel. When the sun sets, ghost tours amble through the cobbled streets, revealing the town’s dramatic history. By day it’s all idyllic fishing village vibes, with a hint of Victorian holidays.
