Discover the true character of Whitby and the beauty of the North York Moors when you stay at this penthouse apartment. Sleeping four guests, the chic, two-bedroom retreat is situated within the Castle Park area, just under 1 mile from the town centre. Offering bright, stylish accommodation, and access to a shared garden, it is also less than 1 mile from the sandy beach and only slightly further from the famous 199 steps and striking ruins of Whitby Abbey.

Make your way into the modern building and take the lift up to the fourth floor. Enter to find light-filled accommodation that centres on a stylish, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Take in the views from the glass doors to the Juliet balcony, throwing them open on bright summer days. Settle back on the handsome, leather sofas to chat about your day over a cup of tea or find a good film on the Smart TV. When mealtimes arrive, head over to the kitchen area to rustle up a tasty Yorkshire feast. This well-equipped space features everything you need. Congregate at the table to enjoy your meals and perhaps linger over a bottle of wine. When you are ready to head to your bed for the night, find there are two sumptuous rooms here. The super-king-size benefits from an en-suite shower room, while guests sleeping in the king-size room can have sole use of the family bathroom. Soak up the sunshine out in the shared, enclosed garden after your trips out. Relax here with a book on summer afternoons. There is private parking for one car with this apartment.

Keen walkers might like to follow part of the Cleveland Way along the North Yorkshire Heritage Coast from Whitby. The delightful fishing village of Robin Hood’s Bay, 6 miles away, makes a fabulous afternoon out.
