Anyone looking to be transported to the historic heart of Whitby will love this little home. With its origins dating back to 1690, it’s said to have been built using the stone of a demolished castle. And while the walls carry stories from the past, you’ll find the interior has all the comforts of a contemporary sanctuary. From the snug living room and fully equipped kitchen to the cosy bedroom, the owners have transformed this apartment into a unique seaside escape. Enjoy quiet mornings with a coffee on the sofa and lazy afternoons curled up by the fire – wherever you find yourself, your stay promises to be filled with an abundance of charm and character. Stepping outside, you’re in the perfect spot to explore the sights and attractions of this seaside town. Take a refreshing stroll along the beach, dip your toes in the freezing cold water and cuddle up in a cosy pub. And for explorations further afield, adventure along the North Yorkshire Heritage Coast and visit the charming village of Staithes or Robin Hood's Bay.

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.
