Ideal for a small family on holiday or couples travelling together, the property is compact but has everything needed for an enjoyable and relaxing stay.
On the ground-floor, there is a welcoming living/dining room complete with a sofa, a dining table with views over the harbour and a stylish woodburning stove-effect gas fire, where you can imagine curling up together, getting warm in the cooler months and really enjoying spending time together.
A few steps up from this space is the galley kitchen which has an oven, microwave and fridge/freezer, so you can whip up delicious food for your party before taking a seat at the elegant dining table.
Upstairs on the first-floor is the inviting sitting room which has an attractive sofa, another woodburning stove-effect gas fire and a Smart TV, creating a space you’ll be dying to get comfy in whether it’s to zone out and watch your favourite TV programmes together or to catch up on each other’s holiday stories.
When it’s time to bed, there is a well-presented double on the first-floor or take the winding staircase up to the top floor, where tucked into the eaves is a delightful twin bedroom with wonderful, elevated views of the harbour.
A family shower room completes the accommodation.
In the morning, you’ll hear the sounds of the harbour nearby and you’ll be raring to go, so why not start the day with a stroll around Whitby harbour before heading into town?
Whitby has loads to offer visitors from beaches, a lighthouse, a good selection of shops and eateries, the famous Whitby Abbey, the 199 steps plus the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, which is a must-visit when you are in the town.
Jump in the car and head down the coast for a scenic drive to towns such as Robin Hood’s Bay, Scarborough, Filey and Ravenscar, all worth a visit in their own right.
Family attractions within easy reach of Whitby include Flamingo Land, the National Railway Museum, York Minster, Monk Farm Visitor Centre and Sea Life Scarborough.
Lace up your walking boots and head out into the North York Moors National Park for some exercise and fresh air and be rewarded with some breath-taking scenery along the way.
