A smart, modern apartment in a period building once used to make sails, if you love the water, this home couldn't be in a better spot. Perfect for watching the comings and goings of the boats in Whitby Harbour, it's a delightful space that looks right out across the river from its numerous shuttered windows. Perfect for a family or a few friends sharing, it's an inviting apartment with a sociable, open-plan living area and comfy bedrooms – we particularly love the view from the master suite's twin sash windows. Just a short walk into the town will take you to all its big attractions and to the many pubs, cafes and restaurants practically on your doorstep. Don't miss the walk up to the abbey ruins and the area's famous fish and chips.

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.

Acclaimed fish and chips in an Italian-style venue with booths and colourful Tiffany lampshades. Enjoy delicious food, friendly staff, and a great location facing the harbour.
