Get back to nature in this eye-catching timber lodge, set in wooded grounds near Whitby. A vaulted main living space and generous bedrooms make this home feel like an American log cabin. With its huge windows giving way to English countryside views though, there’s no mistaking you’re in one of North Yorkshire’s most picturesque spots. There’s plenty of space to socialise in the main living area and out on the deck for alfresco meals, but there are also quiet corners, like the loft, where you can retreat with a good book for some relaxing alone time. When you’re ready to go out and explore, Whitby with its historic harbour and sandy beach is less than a fifteen-minute drive away, while the dramatic sweep of Robin Hood Bay is reachable in twenty. Away from the coast, you have the North York Moors National Park right on your doorstep. After a day in the great outdoors, come back home for a meal around the large dining table followed by a cosy night over drinks around the living room’s wood-burning stove.

This home in Egton is the perfect compromise between seclusion and a beach holiday. With only six miles separating you from the seaside town of Whitby, you can easily take a quick road trip to spend the day on the sandy shores of West Cliff beach. Whilst there, be sure to walk the promenade for a gorgeous view of the Church of Saint Mary and try your hand at the claw machine in the pier arcade. After a lunch of fresh seafood, head to the Whitby Abbey, a fourteen-minute walk from Whitby Beach, to visit the renowned ruins that inspired Bram Stoker’s gothic novel Dracula.

Back home, take in the tranquillity of the secluded escape by sitting out on the deck with a cup of coffee. Watch the breeze play through the line of trees surrounding you as you catch up on your favourite podcast. We recommend, at least once, sitting out here to watch the sun rise or set, maybe even both. Inside, get the cacao ready for movie night in front of the fire, and when you’re ready for bed, swing by the bathroom first for a soak in the tub.

Although this wooden lodge sits in the middle of a leafy caravan park in the North Yorkshire countryside just outside of Whitby, there's nothing temporary or makeshift about the living quarters. In fact, there's a contemporary style and enough high-quality amenities that would see it slot quite easily into the swishest of city neighbourhoods.

The double-height windows in the living room do a brilliant job of bathing the interior in natural light, as well as offering peaceful views of the surrounding trees. This architectural feature makes the communal space a lovely spot for relaxing, whether that's cuddling up next to the wood-burning fireplace or cooking up something hearty in the super-sleek kitchen. 

If you're paying a visit during the warmer months – or you just want to emulate the hardiness of local Yorkshire folk during the colder seasons – you can make the most of the home's private terrace complete with seating. There are also plenty of walking routes and historic attractions in the surrounding North Yorks Moors National Parks, as well as the village of Egton and its pub lying within walking distance. The quirky seaside town of Whitby takes less than a quarter of an hour to reach in the car, too.

If you're after proximity to the coast and a peaceful countryside setting, this home may be your perfect match. Welcome to the quaint village of Egton, about five miles west of Whitby, where you can explore the surrounding natural landscape or access the amenities of the seaside in just a short drive. While it may look like a traditional terraced cottage from the outside, it's been refurbished to high standards and furnished with style, so we guarantee you'll look forward to coming back to it after a day spent exploring the the North York Moors or at the beach. We picture ourselves cooking up a feast in the high-spec kitchen before retiring for a well-earned bubble bath in one of the two stunning clawfoot bathtubs. Featuring a secret snug filled with floor cushions and also a bunk bedroom, it would suit a large family with some younger members.

Steak & Egton

Balcony

With bright living spaces, stylish bedrooms, a glossy high-spec kitchen and sleek bathrooms, this home is as fresh as a spring daisy. Set over three floors, every inch here is cool and contemporary, with plenty of room for a family or group of friends to spread out and get comfortable. We love all the mod-cons – think rainfall showers, a double oven and an EV charger in the driveway – and the private garden is the icing on the cake. Open the bi-fold doors and feel the breeze as you share a meal around the dining table, followed by a game of football in the yard as the sun goes down.

Location-wise, this home is nestled in the village of Briggswath on the cusp of North York Moors National Park. We think this locale offers the best of both worlds. Whether you fancy a delicious pub lunch (there's an excellent inn five minutes away), a country walk (there are miles of trails through the Esk Valley heading towards Grosmont) or a day at the beach (Whitby is less than ten minutes away by car) – there's something for everyone to enjoy in this neck of the woods.

Welcome Hamper

Marrying traditional charm with modern upgrades, this 16th century, Grade II listed cottage offers the best of both worlds. With exposed stone walls, wooden beams and travertine tiled floors, it's easy to fall in love with the vintage character, but updates like underfloor heating, DVD player, Nintendo Wii and Bose sound system add some 21st-century touches. Start your morning with tea on the small patio before heading out for the day. When you've had your fill of fun in the sun, unwind with a glass of wine in front of the fire, then prepare a delicious dinner in the sleek kitchen. End the evening with a relaxing soak in the slipper bathtub before nodding off in the cosy bedrooms. This cottage feels like a true home-from-home and it's perfectly placed for exploring. Set within the North York Moors National Park, this area is ripe with trails to roam and paths to cycle, and the village has an excellent pub if you're in the mood for a pint. Plus, the seaside town of Whitby is just a ten-minute drive away – head there for museums, shops, eateries and sandy beaches.

On The Moors

Outdoor Seating

With sweeping views over the Esk Valley, this home opens its doors to the natural beauty of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. Inside, you’ll find cosy rooms, wood-burning stoves and plenty of space to stretch out and socialise.  There is also a sweet garden with outdoor seating and a barbecue – perfect for warm weather afternoons. From here, days can be spent following nearby hiking trails or exploring the coast – Whitby and Robin Hood’s Bay are a short drive away. 

Haven of Calm

It doesn’t get much more bucolic than this charming stone cottage near Sandsend beach. Set within acres and acres of private estate, you’ll find this country bolthole in a row of terracotta-roofed cottages dappled with ivy. Towering trees and manicured gardens surround the spot for a bit of away-from-it-all feeling. Yet, a fifteen-minute walk sees you at Sandsend beach where a coastal stroll has you in the centre of Whitby in forty minutes (subject to tides). Here you’ll find myriad seafood restaurants, traditional fish and chip shops and beachside (and literary) attractions. If you want to stick closer to home, the estate’s grand hotel has an exceptional restaurant, a five-minute stroll away. Inside the cottage, you’ll find a striking sage-green living room that feels distinctly modern, despite the idyllic facade. It continues into the surprisingly spacious kitchen where you’ll find everything you need for self-catering. Out the back, you’ve got your own little patio for an alfresco tipple in the summer breeze to the sound of a babbling stream.

This converted chapel school sits in the beautiful rolling hills of the North York Moors and behind the well-preserved exterior lies a truly unique home. Large arched windows let in copious amounts of natural light, which is emphasised by the high ceiling and walls finished in a cleansing shade of white. An abundance of velvet textures and the slick kitchen surfaces feel particularly en vogue, too. Out in the large and enclosed garden, there's a picturesque terrace for those warm summer nights when you want to dine alfresco and a view of the countryside that stretches to the sea. Guests really are spoilt for choice when it comes to planning an itinerary. Sandsend Beach is three minutes' drive away, while getting to the centre of Whitby takes just under ten.  There are countless walks to embark on in the surrounding Moors, too.

The Chapel of Dunsley

Live in ‘Gentleman Jack’ luxury style in this five-storey Georgian townhouse located in the heart of Whitby that will truly make for a memorable stay on the North Yorkshire coast. With a stunning balcony terrace and bar area on the top floor of this home, you are afforded incredible views over Whitby, stretching all the way to the Abbey, which can be enjoyed as you sip your morning Yorkshire tea or as the sun sets over cocktails at happy hour. 

On the other side of Whitby, you will find narrow medieval streets with boutiques and pubs. Plus, roughly a twelve-minute walk from your door, you can also discover the ruins of Whitby Abbey, which was the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s classic gothic novel, ‘Dracula’. What’s more, you can even go on a ‘Dracula’ experience, reachable in just six minutes on foot from this home. 

To make the most of your seaside escape, the Blue Flag West Cliff beach, and promenade are just a five-minute walk away. While nestled on the West Cliff, lining Pier Road – which can be reached in eight minutes on foot – you’ll find arcades for hours of fun on rainy days and Whitby’s famous fish restaurants serving the catch of the day because it simply wouldn’t be a beach holiday without fish and chips. 

On sunny evenings, take advantage of the courtyard on the ground floor of this home, and dine alfresco before ending the evening with drinks on the balcony to admire the views one last time. Then curl up on the comfy sofas to relax after an exhausting day of exploring and climbing the famous 199 steps up to the Church of Saint Mary. Finally, slip into the plush bedding and luxury linens to ensure you have a great night's sleep, ready for another day of adventures.

Take in unrivalled sea views from this charming home directly on the beach at Whitby. Best suited for a family due to the layout of the bedrooms, Anchor & Sail offers guests a cosy home with brilliant access to all that Whitby has to offer, and more importantly, direct access to the sea and beach. You're also located just a short walk from the infamous 199 Steps, so be sure to pack comfortable shoes for the best views in town. 

Anchor & Sail

With multiple skylights, this living area gets a breath of natural light and the greenery that surrounds the property. We love the bold use of purple – from the plush sofa to the tasteful TV wall – while the small wooden dining table is perfect for meals together. Step downstairs into the painted green kitchen and find it roomy and well-equipped, ideal for all your self-catered meals. On nice days, enjoy lunch outside on the patio set, overlooking the grounds, and soak in some sunshine. You’ll probably want to head down to the beach too – Sandsend Sands is just a fifteen-minute walk from home. Spend the rest of your time exploring the nearby Whitby and its literary history, beautiful coast and delicious fish and chips.  

Off the Vine

Enjoy a coastal retreat with a difference when you stay at this enchanting gatehouse in the grounds of a manor house. Approach the impressive wrought iron gates, and walk up the cobblestone path that winds through the pretty garden to the seafoam-green front door. With the clever use of traditional-style features you’ll be surprised to learn that this cottage was actually built in the modern day. Throw open the French doors to take in the fresh air as you sit down to dinner lovingly prepared in the country-style kitchen, or head outside to the teak root table for a spot of alfresco dining. Afterwards, gather around the gas stove to play a board game, settle down on the sofa with a good book, or sink into the luxurious roll-top bath. From the upstairs bedroom, you’ll even catch a glimpse of the enchanting ruins of Whitby Abbey. It’s only a fifteen-minute stroll into the town centre for fish and chips, and a little further to the shore if you want to enjoy an ice cream at the beach. And if you fancy exploring further afield, then the beautiful North York Moors are just outside the town. 

Gates of Green Gables

Just a four-minute stroll from the blue flag shores of West Cliff Beach and its cheery beach-hut-lined promenade, this home's location alone is enough reason for us to praise it to the skies. Here, you're ten minutes from the bustling town centre on foot and even closer to Pier Road, with its delightful array of waterfront pubs, arcades and seafood restaurants. Across the river, the storied ruins of Whitby Abbey are a fifteen-minute stroll from your doorstep.

Light-filled and stylishly decorated, this home's interiors beckon you to relax from the moment you step through the door. You'll find it perched on the third floor of a Victorian townhouse and boasting spectacular views of the coast. Admire them whilst preparing a feast in the fully-fitted kitchen and, from the double bedroom, gaze out towards a crystal-clear snapshot of Whitby Abbey. 

After days spent swimming in the North Sea, strolling through the cobbled streets of Whitby's old town or hiking through the North York Moors, you'll love returning to this well-equipped abode. Spend evenings cradling cups of tea around the dining table or snuggled up on the sofa in front of the flat-screen television for a cosy movie night in.

Paint The Sky Blue

Just as the seemingly limitless panorama of sky and sea on North Yorkshire's coastline feels bright and invigorating, so too does the interior of this home found close to the River Esk. In the open kitchen-living area, a glass roof and large windows on either side fill the space with natural light, which is accentuated by the reflective surfaces on the minimalist kitchen and the stark white walls. In one of the bedrooms, there's even a Juliet balcony that looks out to a peaceful field and distant rooftops. Throughout the rest of the house, there are plenty of contemporary design touches that have us nodding our heads in approval, from the mid-century furnishings in the living room and the elegant freestanding bathtubs to the patterned floor tiling in the hallway. The local neighbourhood has a residential feel, but all of Whitby's attractions sit within walkable distance. The town's beach, for instance, takes twenty minutes to reach on foot, while the gothic Abbey is only a quarter of an hour away.

A Day At The Beach

This cosy house is perfect for family breaks to the seaside. It stands on the edge of East Cliff, just a ten-minute walk from Whitby’s town centre and its narrow medieval streets lined with pubs, shops and comfy cafes. You can walk easily to the west side of town, where you’ll find the Blue Flag West Cliff Beach and its brightly coloured beach huts. Add in the wonderful Whitby Abbey and its rich history, and you’ll never be short of things to see and do here. 

The house itself is warm and welcoming, with heaps of space. It’s an excellent choice for a big group of friends or a couple of families travelling together, as there’s plenty of room for everyone. We love the balcony that opens out from the living room – it boasts gorgeous views of Whitby and its harbour, and is the perfect spot for a morning cuppa. Later on in the day, you might pick up takeaway fish and chips to unwrap on one of the picnic tables on the terrace. It’s a lovely way to round off a day at the seaside.

You can feel its cosiness and warmth wrap itself around you as soon as you step through the front door. With neutral decor, this home doesn’t intend to show off, but rather keep things simple. Feature walls dressed with elegant wallpaper give a quiet nod to nature and drape a sense of tranquillity over the space. The leather sofa invites you to sink into it with a good book and a glass of red wine to while away a quiet evening after a day out hiking the North York Moors. As your eyes become heavy with sleep, stroll through to your bedroom and tuck yourself under the crisp white sheets. You’ll find it easy to drift off into a blissful night’s sleep.

Locally, wander along the river's east bank and you’ll find narrow, mediaeval streets boasting pubs, boutiques and an abundance of fish restaurants. Cross the river to the west bank via the swing bridge, and you’ll soon feel the sand beneath your feet at West Cliff Beach, lined with picturesque beach huts in an array of colours.

Over the Moors

Modern, stylish and in the heart of charming Whitby, this home ticks all the boxes for a memorable stay on the North Yorkshire coast. Honeycomb print livens up licks of trendy grey and we particularly loved the subtle nods to Whitby’s history and maritime identity in the living space and bedroom. A dining table with zesty yellow chairs takes centre stage – come together for a home-cooked breakfast and hot cups of tea before throwing on your sun hat and heading to the seaside. You’re a ten-minute walk from the beach – fifteen if you stop for an ice cream. Cross the River Esk and climb the 199 steps to reach the famous Abbey. With all of that exploring, you’ll have worked up quite an appetite, so pick up a fish supper from an award-winning chip shop and enjoy overlooking the harbour. 

Beehive Cottage

It may have literary associations with a certain Count Dracula, but you won't find any vampires roaming the streets of Whitby. Instead, it's a charming and memorable seaside town with more than a few fans who return year after year. And a stay in this smart home is bound to be unforgettable, with a great location and a few luxury touches. Set over three floors, and with a striking modern interior, it's perfect for a large family or a group of friends. On the first floor there's a super stylish open-plan kitchen and living space, made for socialising over breakfast or lingering in over drinks in the evening, with a more cosy sitting room on the ground floor. The bedrooms are all of a good size, but it's the master that impresses us the most thanks to its free-standing bath tub in the corner of the room. Stroll into the town to explore its boutiques and eateries, play on the beach, climb the steps up to the abbey ruins and, whatever you do, don't miss out on some of the world's best fish and chips. Here it's all right on your doorstep.

Bumblebee Jasper

This glorious home is made for large families and groups of friends. Whether it's in the lavish interior or the dreamy outdoor spaces, it's shaped by social areas. Enjoy omelettes and croissants at the breakfast bar, eat lunch on the open-air garden table and bite into dinner on the sleek indoor dining table. 

When you're not eating, chat away on the various seating spaces. The cosy lounge has comfy sofas and a warm fireplace – perfect for those snug evenings with your favourite people. 

When the sun shines, make your way to the radiant gardens which glisten with plants and natural colours. At the end of a fun-filled day, the cute terrace is an idyllic spot to watch the sunset turn the sky a dusty red.

As much as we're sure you'll love this stunning home, you'll probably want to visit the warm town of Whitby. Drive just fifteen minutes and you'll reach the picturesque seafront, a hub of cosy cafes, cool bistros and top-rate restaurants.

For those scorching summer days, grab an ice cream from the shop and settle in for a day of sunbathing on the beach.



Social In Style

Holiday in a piece of history. This Grade II-listed cottage is in the centre of the lively seaside town of Whitby. Make a cup of tea in the farmhouse-style kitchen before kicking back by the fire under seventeenth-century oak beams. There are plenty of thoughtful touches to admire here, from the restored period display cabinet to the aged leather and linen sofas. The kitchen has a gas range, perfect for whipping up a traditional English breakfast or an indulgent Sunday roast. Alternatively, treat yourself to a sumptuous meal at local Michelin-starred chef Andrew Pern's restaurant, The Star Inn The Harbour, with views of Whitby Harbour and the River Esk. Elsewhere, we'd suggest spending a day hiking the astounding heather-covered hills of the nearby North York Moors.

The 199 Steps

This smart apartment, located just a few metres away from the shoreline, is the perfect place to call home during a trip to the charming town of Whitby. With plenty of space, stylish decor, and fantastic sea views, you'll settle in in no time at all. 

Step inside, and you'll find a sleek, open-plan set-up cloaked in soothing blues and greys. Fire up the Nespresso machine to make a fresh americano, then curl up in one of the powder blue armchairs as you watch the world go by outside. The kitchen has everything you need to cook up a delicious traditional roast dinner to serve up at the stylish dining bench, while the peaceful bedrooms guarantee you a great night's sleep. 

Cross the road and you'll arrive at Whitby’s West Cliff beach, a blue-flag beach where you can paddle or stroll along the sand, ice cream in hand. There are plenty of nearby seafood restaurants where you can savour the fresh catch of the day, along with independent boutiques and cosy pubs dotted along the cobbled streets. Don't forget to walk up the 199 steps, made famous by Bram Stoker's 'Dracula', to visit the iconic ruined cathedral. And, if you fancy exploring the gorgeous local countryside, then the North York Moors National Park is just outside the town. 

Sound of the Waves

Check into this handsome Whitby townhouse for seaside living at its most refined and stylish. Set across five floors united by elegant interiors, there’s room for all twelve of you to make yourselves at home here. Climb the stairs to discover six bedrooms and five bathrooms, each as beautiful as the next. And with every bedroom but one boasting king-sized beds clad in crisp snow-white linens, there’s no need to tussle for the best room here.

Back downstairs, you can fling the double patio doors open wide on summer mornings to savour your morning coffee in the sunshine before whipping up brunch and mimosas in that made-for-action shaker-style kitchen with double ovens to flex your culinary skills. But if the weather doesn't buck up, the first-floor sitting room is just as inviting curled up with the morning newspapers.

When it’s finally time to soak up the charms of Whitby, you won’t have far to go – all the must-sees are within walking distance. Get off to a flying start with a visit to the Abbey Ruins – set high on the hill with magnificent views of the town, there’s no better way to get your bearings. Then lose yourself to the charming winding streets of its centre – there’s plenty of traditional inns and cafes to dive into should thoughts turn to food. Or follow the little River Esk down to the beach for fish and chips suppers overlooking the sea – there’s no finer place to be.

Seashells by the Seashore

This seaside home is perfectly positioned in the heart of Whitby for exploring its bustling town centre and sandy shores. Bright and stylish, the apartment makes great use of space, with an open concept design that is perfect for kicking up your feet and unwinding after an exciting day out. Bathed in natural light from the double patio doors with views of the sea, the living room comes with comfortable sofas, a telescope for stargazing and nautical-themed art to create a calm ambience. The sleek kitchen features high spec appliances that will make cooking a delight, so whip up a hearty breakfast and head out to your sun-kissed balcony for the perfect start to any day. In a prime location, you’re within walking distance of a surplus of restaurants and cafes waiting to serve up the catch of the day or a local cream tea. Discover Whitby’s West Cliff Beach, climb up the historic 199 steps of Saint Mary's Church and explore Whitby Abbey. After a long day, come back for sunset drinks on the balcony and a peaceful night’s sleep to the sound of the sea. 


The Seashell

In the picturesque surroundings of the Esk Valley, this home provides a lovely place to return to after exploring North Yorkshire. On summer days, it's almost inconceivable to think that the bifold glass door won't be opened up at any point. Once done so, step outside and you'll find a private terrace and lawn big enough for games.

Back inside, the long and open-concept ground floor goes from the dining table to a gleaming white kitchen before ending up in a comfy living area with a huge sofa that screams movie night. Upstairs, the collection of bedrooms and bathrooms are just as cosy, with subtle spotlighting and minimalist decor.

When you're in the mood to explore, the seaside town of Whitby takes under ten minutes to reach in the car and has a beach, Abbey and plenty of seafood restaurants to keep you occupied. In the opposite direction, the North Yorks Moors sits behind the address, in which you'll find no end of walking routes, viewpoints and historical attractions.

Apple Blossom

In the centre of Whitby, this apartment puts a Blue Flag beach and narrow, medieval alleyways within easy walking distance. It’s a five-minute jaunt to the sprawling sands of Whitby Beach and you can even take the lift down the cliffs. A five-minute dander in the other direction sees you at the riverfront, where award-winning fish and chips await.

After a day exploring the gothic history of Whitby, return to a haven of calm at this apartment. The neutral-toned decor provides a soothing spot to unwind in the living room where a wood-burning stove keeps things cosy. Herringbone floor runs throughout the ground floor, and the kitchen in sleek dove grey has everything you need for self-catering. Retire to the bedroom with a big bay window and awake naturally to sunlight streaming in.

You’re also just a thirteen-minute walk from the 199 Steps that lead up to the Church of Saint Mary, while Whitby Abbey – the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula’ – is seventeen minutes away on foot.

We love the bright living space, with French doors leading out to your own private patio. Perch on the ornate wrought-iron furniture with a gin and tonic to start the holiday in style. Nine minutes away, you can stroll to Whitby train station (a Grade II listed building) with ease. From here, the north of England is yours to explore. Try a two-hour trip through the North York Moors National Park to reach the market town of Darlington, for shopping, dining, and even more historical landmarks.

And, with the North York Moors National Park just four minutes away by car, walkers and cyclists can easily explore the dramatic landscapes. 

Harbour Hopes

You’d be forgiven for mistaking this bright apartment in the heart of Whitby for a Malibu beach bungalow. With its laid-back minimalist aesthetic, rattan ornaments, neutral palette, light wood floors and white panelling, there’s an unmistakable coastal vibe to this comfortable, modern home. The living room’s large sectional sofa is perfectly placed to gaze out over Whitby’s rooftops from the trio of windows, while the bedrooms upstairs – tucked beneath the building’s eaves – boast vistas of hilltop St Mary’s Church from their charming skylights. When you’re not soaking up the beach vibes at home, go out and sink your toes in the sand at Whitby Beach, a seven-minute walk away. You’re also just a five-minute walk from the town’s famous 199 Steps, while countless shops and fish and chips restaurants wait to be discovered right outside your door. 


Shake Off The Sand

Rooftop Terrace

From fish and chip shops and the beach to its Captain Cook connections, Whitby is one of the best-known seaside towns in the UK — and with good reason. This apartment in a new complex is set slightly back from the harbour (away from the busiest areas), but you can still reach the very centre in under ten minutes on foot. And as it’s on the top floor of the building, the views are spectacular. From the balcony, you can see across the rooftops to the ruined abbey on the hill, famously part of the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula. As is often the case with penthouse homes, the elevation also means that's there's lots of natural light too. The white walls and reflective surfaces work to emphasise this asset, which floods in through the skylight as well. Add to that a minimalist kitchen and a modern bathroom finished in particularly sleek grey tiling, and you have an apartment that is equally as covetable as the location.

Feeling Chipper

If you're looking for a cosy and homely place to rest your head in the heart of Whitby, look no further than this charming coastal haven! This dog-friendly, two bedroom holiday home is perfect for couples' retreats and small family getaways. Nestled in the centre of the seaside town, it offers a tranquil tide of relaxation awash with coastal charm. Wake up to breathtaking seaviews and let the gentle sounds of the waves lull you into bliss. With everything right on your doorstep, from quaint shops and picturesque coffee spots to scenic beaches and historic attractions, you can truly make the most of your coastal escape. Leave behind the hustle and bustle as you immerse yourself in the serenity of this maritime oasis.

Whitby Coastal Haven

Fans of ITV's Heartbeat might appreciate this home's starring role in the long-running television series. While it might not have appeared in front of the camera, both cast and crew were frequent visitors, as it served as the bar for the next-door hotel. Now lovingly restored to tranquillity and situated high on the North York Moors, it serves as an ideal getaway. So let the bright skies, rugged scenery and fresh air provide you with a warm Yorkshire welcome. Step inside the stone walls to admire the original character and modern touches, where rustic notes combine with all the mod cons to provide a comfortable stay. Get the log burner going in the beautiful feature fireplace and cosy up while you share stories or watch a movie. Upstairs, you'll find two relaxing bedrooms that invite you to settle down for a superb night's sleep. Peer out of any window to admire the beautiful views over the moors. Wander down the street, and you'll quickly find yourself in the pretty village of Goathland, while the charming seaside town of Whitby is just a twenty-minute drive away.

Home is Where the Heart Beats

Single-Level Home

In the heart of historic Whitby, this snug apartment provides the perfect retreat for two. Cosy and contemporary, what it lacks in space, it more than makes up for in comfort. We can already picture ourselves sinking into the plush sofa with a cup of Yorkshire brew after a day in the fresh sea air. Outside, a charming little patio beckons on summer days – it's a sweet spot to enjoy a glass of wine and nibble on Wensleydale cheese as the sun slowly sets. There's also a sleek kitchen ideal for rustling up lighter bites, a glossy bathroom and a sumptuous bedroom that will leave you feeling well-rested and ready to explore.

The enviable locale makes exploring a breeze. Spend the afternoon dipping in and out of the independent shops, old-world pubs and delicious eateries in the city centre, or head down to the waterfront pier and Blue Flag beach for a taste of the seaside. You also can't miss the famous ruins of Whitby Abbey or the 199 Steps – the views from the top of the hill are hard to beat.

As You Wish

This immaculate penthouse is located on the famous Flowergate of Whitby, one of the oldest and most historic streets in the heart of town. From your enviable vantage point, you’re spoilt with vistas stretching all the way from the harbour to the eerie Abbey atop the East Cliff – the aspect from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the bedroom is particularly impressive. Whether you’re staying solo or as part of a couple, you’ll find the place provides ample space to unwind, with plenty of modern comforts that guarantee a fuss-free holiday. When it comes to exploring, you’ve the best of Whitby within a ten-minute walk from your doorstep. Slink down medieval side streets, tackle the famous 199 steps or take it easy and hole up with a pot of tea in an independent café. If you’re keen to explore further along the coast, the X4 bus takes you to Sandsend, Runswick Bay and Staithes, the X93 goes to Scarborough and the number 95 heads to the quaint villages of Grosmont and Lealholm. When the day draws to a close, there’s nothing better than soaking up the twilight with a steamy bag of fish and chips at West Cliff Beach, a five-minute saunter from your building.

The Whitby Bowler

Stay in a quaint cottage in the heart of Whitby – a town steeped in rich history on the Yorkshire coast. Take a ten-minute drive to the North York Moors National Park for incredible landscapes, dales, wildflowers and wildlife that will make you forget all the fuss and flutter back home. After long nature walks or a day spent lounging on sandy Whitby beach (less than a five-minute stroll away), come home and relax with some drinks and dinner on the patio – fire up the barbecue and grill some freshly-caught mackerel. If you're the more solitary type, grab a book from the shelf and find a cosy corner of your own to while away the hours. The lounge is particularly cosy, with mountains of cushions covering an attractive teal sofa. There's a great children's bedroom to occupy the kids for a while too. Foodies should round off their stay with a visit to Michelin-recommended restaurant The Star Inn The Harbour, just a six-minute walk from home.  

Daffodils

Cute and cosy, this cottage is a delightful spot for a bit of seaside relaxation in Whitby. It’s a three-minute drive to the centre of town, where fish and chips on the pier, a long stretch of sandy beach and a hodge-podge of gothic alleyways and streets await. The harbourfront is within walking distance if you prefer to stretch your legs. 

Although the home itself is modern, there’s something slightly gothic about the interior, in keeping with Whitby’s haunting vibe. Perhaps it’s the midnight-blue walls in the living area or silver gilded mirrors. There’s plenty of room to cook in the full kitchen, and on sunny summer evenings, you can dine outside in the private garden. Both bedrooms are cosy nooks, and the windows in the master open up to a Juliet balcony overlooking the quiet neighbourhood.
