Description

The Shipwright is a pleasing three-storey end-terrace resting in Whitby, North Yorkshire.

Suited to families and friends this abode is just a short stroll from Whitby amenities and beaches, with en-suite facilities and proximity to River Esk.

Pull into the off-road parking and step out into a peaceful corner of Whitby, where this end-terrace townhouse sits comfortably within the town and close to the river.

With space to park up and settle in, it is easy to unload bags, take a breath of sea air and look forward to exploring on foot, knowing the harbour, shops and shoreline are all within an easy stroll.

Head inside and begin your stay on the ground floor, where a welcoming sitting room offers a relaxed place to slow the pace.

Sink into the seating, flick on the TV and unwind after a day outdoors, whether that means catching up on a favourite programme or simply enjoying a quiet moment with a book.

Nearby, a handy cloakroom and utility space make longer stays feel effortless, giving you room to freshen up, tackle sandy clothes or prepare for the next day’s plans without fuss.

Make your way upstairs to the heart of the home, where the fitted kitchen and dining area invite you to cook, gather and linger.

Set the kettle on after a bracing coastal walk, spread out local produce on the worktops or bring everyone together around the table for unrushed meals and shared stories.

Just beyond, the main sitting room provides another inviting place to relax, where you can settle back in the warmth of the flame-effect gas fire, stretch out on the seating and enjoy evenings spent chatting, watching a film or planning tomorrow’s adventures.

When night falls, continue up to the upper floors where three thoughtfully arranged bedrooms offer flexible sleeping space for families and groups of friends.

Choose the king-size bedroom with its en-suite shower room if you enjoy starting the day in peace, while the twin room and adult bunk room provide practical, comfortable options for others in your party.

A further double bedroom on the ground floor offers additional privacy, ideal if you prefer being tucked away from the rest of the house.

A well-appointed family bathroom serves the upper rooms, perfect for a long soak after a day spent walking the coast or moors.

Outside, the small enclosed garden creates a welcome extension of the living space.

Step out onto the patio with a morning coffee, fire up the barbecue on warmer evenings or settle into the garden furniture as the day draws to a close, enjoying the calm before heading out for a riverside walk or an easy wander into town for dinner.

Whitby itself is a joy to explore on foot, with its winding streets, independent shops and welcoming pubs, while the sea front beckons for relaxed beach days, harbour walks and fish and chips enjoyed with a view.

Venture a little further and discover Robin Hood’s Bay, where steep, characterful streets lead down to the shoreline, perfect for coastal wandering, fossil hunting and far-reaching sea views.

Scarborough offers classic seaside charm with sweeping bays, lively promenades and historic landmarks that make for a full and varied day out.

For a change of scenery, head into the North York Moors and immerse yourself in open landscapes, heather-clad hills and peaceful walking routes, where dramatic views and fresh air set the tone for memorable days outdoors.

Whether you are drawn by the coast, the moors or the charm of the town itself, The Shipwright offers a welcoming place to return to at the end of every day.

Enjoyed our week at Shipwrights Well appointed, clean and tidy, with everything we needed for our stay.

Proximity to Whitby was handy for shops and eateries or exploratory walks. For us, Shipwrights was well locate for visiting North Yorkshires coast and Moors. Located in a quiet area, easy to find, off road parking for two cars is so useful being close to Whitby.

Stayed here 3 times now.

Very handy for the town, nice quiet area so children can play/ride their bikes safely. House is spacious and well equipped. Very creaky floorboards but all of the neighbouring houses seem to be that way, I've stayed in a few now. That's the only negative.
