North Sea Abbey in Whitby, North Yorkshire

North Sea Abbey Self-Catering

Nestled between red rooftops and brickwork of this traditional English coastal town, this home is a delightful escape to the countryside with city amenities at hand. In this cottage-like house, you’ll be charmed before you even get inside. The front entrance has a lush array of foliage and flowers, and the cheerful blue door welcomes you in. Original interiors such as wooden beams and a highly decorative fireplace bring such character to the living room. In this warm and cosy space, you’ll love snuggling up on the bold, blue velvet sofa with a classic novel and a glass of red wine. While you’ve got a balcony up top where you can enjoy a morning Earl Grey with views out to Whitby Abbey, there’s yet another larger paved terrace below where you can dine alfresco into the evening. Then shake off your hangover with a brisk morning walk to the beautiful Whitby Beach, just a ten-minute walk. And while you’re there, you’ve got to try a typical English seaside lunch – fish and chips with salt and vinegar.
