River Retreat Whitby, North Yorkshire

Property Description

Set within Whitby docks, this charming two-bedroom apartment boasts some wonderful water views with the River Esk on its doorstep. You can feel its cosiness and warmth wrap itself around you as soon as you step through the front door. With neutral decor, this home doesn’t intend to show off, but rather keep things simple. Feature walls dressed with elegant wallpaper give a quiet nod to nature and drape a sense of tranquillity over the space. The leather sofa invites you to sink into it with a good book and a glass of red wine to while away a quiet evening after a day out hiking the North York Moors. As your eyes become heavy with sleep, stroll through to your bedroom and tuck yourself under the crisp white sheets. You’ll find it easy to drift off into a blissful night’s sleep.

Locally, wander along the river's east bank and you’ll find narrow, mediaeval streets boasting pubs, boutiques and an abundance of fish restaurants. Cross the river to the west bank via the swing bridge, and you’ll soon feel the sand beneath your feet at West Cliff Beach, lined with picturesque beach huts in an array of colours. Whether you plan to hike the moors, tour the town, or spend lazy days at the beach, this home-away-from-home gives you the perfect base to retreat to after a long, exhilarating day in the local area.
