Property code: OC-W1000

This contemporary penthouse near West Cliff in Whitby offers a romantic bolthole for couples with stunning views over the sea and town – and magical sunrises and sunsets. Whitby makes a great base for exploring the Yorkshire coast and North York Moors. There’s plenty to do right on your doorstep, from climbing the 199 steps to St Mary’s Church and the ruins of Whitby Abbey, to relaxing on the beach, and sampling the town’s restaurants, cafes, fish and chip shops, and quirky tearooms. The North York Moors is within easy reach with numerous hiking and cycling trails through its spectacular scenery – a popular way to visit is via the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, a heritage steam line that runs from Whitby to the market town of Pickering (20 miles).

This is a modern penthouse apartment, served by a lift, which boasts huge windows to make the most of those glorious views, and excellent attention to detail throughout. Located on the fourth floor, you enter via the hall, which has a large storage cupboard and coat hooks. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is light and airy with floor-to-ceiling windows and views across to the abbey and out to sea. There are two seating areas: a sofa facing the TV and entertainment corner, and two lounge chairs and a footstool next to one of the large windows. There is a door leading to the balcony. The circular dining table and chairs sit in another window, while the fully fitted kitchen has all you may need for preparing meals at home. Down the hall, there’s a bedroom with a king-size bed and views along the coast to Sandsend, and a family bathroom.

Outside, the balcony has a bistro table and chairs, perfect for enjoying a meal or drinks alfresco while delighting in the magnificent views.

A lovely comfortable apartment with everything you need. It has been well equipped with nice furnishings.The views are very special . Loved watching the sea and town from there. So easy to have an allocated parking spot and a lift straight to the apartment door. We felt very relaxed all week.

A lovely place to spend a relaxing week. The sun shone and I was able to use the balcony. The views were super and the apartment is extremely well equiped. The walk back up the hill from the centre of town was a bit much for my knee but the hop on /off tourist bus stops at the end of the road which was very useful.

We recently stayed at this charming penthouse holiday flat in Whitby that offered stunning views of both the sea and the Abbey. The location was perfect just a short walk from the beach and 10 minutes from the town centre. The flat itself was light, airy and well-equipped, with a comfortable seating area where we could relax and take in the scenerRead morey through the large windows. Overall, it was a delightful stay, ideal for anyone looking to unwind by the coast. Dedicated parking was also a bonus. Hide

A lovely, spacious apartment in a great location just a stones throw from the sea front. It has bifold doors with a Juliette balcony and super comfy chairs to enjoy the view right across to the Abbey. Also there's an actual balcony with chairs and table and a great sea view that added to our enjoyment. Even the bedroom had a great view. The apartmeRead morent was super well equipped with a nice welcome package to greet us on arrival. The sea front was lovely with lots of places to sit and eat ice cream. A short walk takes you to the Whalebone Arch where you can get down, via steps, to what I'd call 'the busy side' of Whitby. Neither of us can walk too far these days but every day we were able to go this way and along to the bridge which takes you across to the great little shops on Church Street selling Whitby Jet and other nice things. The 199 steps to the Abbey are also found here, if you have the ability to tackle them. All in all this was the perfect base for what was a really lovely holiday. Hide

The cottage is located on a quiet street but at the same time it is only a short walk to promenade. It's elevated position means that there is very little traffic noise and provides a great view of Whitby Abbey. It is very well equipped and maintained, particularly, in the kitchen.

Appartment was excellent !! Spacious, very comfortable and spotless !! The large bi-folding windows at the front and balcony and large windows at the side dont just allow a lot of light into the property but also give great views on both sides. On-site parking made it even better as a rarity in Whitby. Would highly recommend this property to anyoneRead more. Marked 4/5 for location as not smack in the middle but still only a nice 5 minute walk to the harbour etc. All in all a great place to stay !! Hide
