Just a short walk from West Cliff Beach as well as the medieval streets of the town centre, you’ll find yourself in the perfect location for exhilarating walks, scenic views and cosy evenings in charming pubs. From the impressive sight of Whitby Abbey to the fun-filled arcades and lively restaurant scene, every sense promises to be serenaded by the unique character of the North Yorkshire coast.
