About this property

Settled within the beautiful development of Whitehall Landing you will find this gorgeous second-floor apartment Herons Landing, just a short walk along the harbourside from the cobbled streets of the old town. Idyllically positioned over looking the tranquil waters of the River Esk with views of the boatyard and railway beyond․ In the summer months you will see the old steam trains pulling into Whitby Station․ At low tide the Heron can be seen fishing along the river bank with a host of other sea birds․ Herons Landing is the perfect retreat for couples or up to 4 people to explore the delights of this sought after area․ There is secure allocated undercroft parking (bay 16) where you can access the building via the lift making unloading an easy task.

The interior has been tastefully presented with quality furnishings, offering an open-plan living space featuring a well-appointed kitchen so you can rustle up hearty dinners and light lunches. Take a seat at the dining table and toast to much-needed break with your nearest and dearest before settling down on the sofa and browsing the Smart TV for your favourite series. Move to the bedrooms to catch some sleep, with two king-size rooms to choose from, serviced by a gleaming shower room. When it comes to planning your holiday itinerary, there’s so much to do in the heart of Whitby; browse a wealth of independent shops, head to the shores of Whitby Beach for a paddle in the sea, climb the mighty 199 steps to Whitby Abbey and take a guided tour at the Dracula Experience. After building up appetite, there’s plenty of quality restaurants and pubs to curb your cravings, including Cosa Nostra, Rusty Shears and a short drive to Newholm Tea Rooms for some homemade food. A scenic drive along the Scarborough road is Ravenscar home to a growing colony of common and grey seals․ Continue on to Scarborough home to the SEA LIFE centre making it a favourite with marine and animal lovers alike. Lace up those walking boots and tackle the scenic splendour of the North York Moors National Park, crossing the rolling hills and passing through natural beauty including Mallyan Spout Waterfall, the North Yorkshire Moors Railways, Beck Hole or the beautiful Mulgrave Estate where the ruins of Mulgrave Castle can be found․ Alternatively if the coast is more your cup of tea, a coastal walk from the Abbey along the Cleveland Way to picturesque Robin Hoods Bay is a real treat. Escape to Heron's Landing and enjoy a break in this bustling region of North Yorkshire.

The seaside town and port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire.

Take a trip to the picturesque harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun set or get involved in some whale watching or a coastal cruise to watch the creatures up close. Climb the famous 199 steps to the Whitby Abbey to immerse yourself with history, or visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum presenting historical and ethnographic exhibition about Cook himself.

    Every aspect of this beautiful apartment has been tastefully done. We had everything needed and the beds are so comfortable, the best sleep we have had. We would highly recommend this accommodation, and have already booked again for 2025, thank you.

  • Carol

    The decor and furnishings are lovely and the apartment is well equipped. I had one small problem during my stay which was resolved by the owners within 24 hours. The benefit of having a parking space in Whitby cannot be overstated. Will hopefully visit again.

  • Julie

    The welcome tray, milk and fizzy rose wine was a really nice touch. We had a lovely week staying there.
