Whitby is a proud seafaring town; you can find out more at the museums or even first hand up at the abbey ruins. Walk through the whale bone archway on the West Cliff or visit the shipwreck on Saltwick Bay and look up into the cliffs to spot the smugglers’ tunnels. For those who wish to experience the wonders of this inspiring area, why not take a long, lazy walk amid the scenic beauty of the North York Moors National Park, which can be accessed by the heritage steam train winding its way through the rolling hills of heather? You can also explore quaint coastal villages such as Robin Hood’s Bay, Staithes or Runswick Bay. Take in the sights along the seafront at Filey, Scarborough or Saltburn. And if you’re a history buff, take a trip into York to soak up the culture brought by both the Romans and the Vikings.
Closer to home, you are just a leisurely stroll away from the many attractions the popular seaside town of Whitby has to offer, including the long golden stretch of sandy beach, the 199 steps up to the St Mary’s Church perched on the cliff top, the boat trips and the freshly caught fish and seafood. In the evenings you have the most relaxing holiday home to return to, where you can unwind around the wood burner whilst planning the adventures for the days ahead. Beach ¾ mile.

Absolutely lovey studio, everything you need, very clean and bonus a back garden through patio doors.Problems: smell of stains in bathroom had to buy an air freshener, noise from upstairs horrendous sounded like a herd of elephants and a dog running about, woken up most mornings at 5.30am and we were there for a week 🥹. Would I stay again NO Which is a shame.

As others have said the noise from upstairs is horrendous and it wouldn’t cost a lot to fix ! The parking is a joke as it’s free and anyone can park there mostly locals !

The apartment itself is Lovely (although was a bit too warm for me on arrival as radiators were all on full lol) but it’s a lovely space and love the enclosed area , I’ve seen others feedback about noise from upstairs , yes the footfall can be noisy but it did t spoil our stay , everything you need is there for cooking (if you wanted to cook) but there are plenty of places to eat out (which we did as it was a break away and a rest) , the endeavour ship serve some lovely meals and the prices I thought were very reasonable , I would highly recommend eating there.the listing did say it had parking but unfortunately for us the parking was non existent (this was my biggest disappointment), it’s very narrow roads and double yellows on one side of all the roads around the area so couldn’t park on any street away from the apartment either, so we had to pay an extra £35 to park in the marina car park for our stay , thankfully we arrived Friday as Saturday when we went to check on the car the car park was completely full so we’d have struggled to find somewhere to park, I did contact cottages.com about this and they said they’d contacted owners regarding parking but we never heard anything (also disappointing)
