This holiday apartment is truly wonderful. Beautifully furnished, clean, comfortable, everything is provided to make your stay perfect. Emma, who runs it, is a joy to correspond with, and very quick and helpful in her responses. It couldn't be more central for everything in Whitby and also has the benefit of upper harbour views from 2 rooms. We'll definitely return, as soon as we can!

We’ve stayed at this accommodation and it will not disappoint. Wonderfully clean, but more than that it feels special, it’s huge, iconic, atmospheric perfectly situated and don’t you just feel special having a key to let you in to the museum outer door. Would highly recommended. Just don’t all book at once as we will def want to return and want to make sure there’s some availability

Absolutely lovely apartment in a great location. We arrived home yesterday and have already booked to go again next year. It is not a small apartment, it's more like a full sized home, plenty big enough for us four adults and two dogs. Secure and has everything we needed for our stay in Whitby. Thank you!

Ideally situated for all that Whitby has to offer. Roomy but cosy at the same time, this apartment is well maintained and very clean. We came with friends so two bathrooms was a necessity. The added toilet near the living room and kitchen was an added bonus. The correspondence with the proprietor, Emma, was friendly and she swiftly answered all queries. Will definitely book here again.

This home had everything you could possible need for an amazing holiday, weekend or longer. The photographs don’t do it justice. From booking to arriving was so easy! All the attractions of Whitby are on the doorstep, the Abbey, cafes, restaurants. There are so many places to walk. Perfect!!!!

Fabulous location and so much to do in Whitby. The appartment was really lovely, spacious, well equipped with a lovely view. We really enjoyed our two week stay. It was spotlessly clean . Owners responded to any queries and were so helpful. We left something behind and they went to a lot of trouble for us to get it. Highly recommended .

About the neighborhood
Whitby is popular all-year round, with lots of events throughout the year, including Goth Weekends, Whitby Folk Weekend, and Whitby Regatta, to name just a few! There are always loads of things to do - whatever the weather...
Getting around
Once you're in Whitby, it's easy to move around the town itself without a car. The town is well served with buses and taxis, and of course the train station (although services are limited). If you're lucky, the steam train will be running! There's also an open bus tour, great for taking it all in without having to do the driving yourself!
Access
Car advised
How to get there
Most people drive to Whitby, but of course, there's always the option of coming by train or even the Coastliner (coach) service. We don't have a dedicated parking space, but will provide all the necessary information about nearby parking options - including both pay & display and even free on-street parking just a few minutes' walk from the property.
