Located in Whitby on Yorkshire's east coast, this bright and homely holiday apartment is a great starting point for your explorations of some of this region's underrated highlights. Overlooking the marina and just a short walk away from the bustling cafes, bars, and restaurants of Whitby town centre, the apartment is conveniently located for most types of holiday. Whether you're hoping to make the most of the array of watersports on offer along the coast, set out on scenic walks through the area's woods and moorland, or simply unwind in a cosy traditional pub – it's all here waiting for you. One of our favourite places to visit is the beautiful, blue flag West Cliff Beach with its cute collection of beach huts, so don't miss out on the chance to spend a sunny afternoon here. Or, for something altogether spookier, why not take the walk up to East Bank where you will discover the ruins of Whitby Abbey, the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s renowned gothic novel ‘Dracula’. We love how even though this home is compact, it's filled with thoughtful design features and all the creature comforts you could need for a romantic break, working holiday, solo retreat, or even a... friend's getaway within its contemporary, welcoming spaces.

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.
