Get a taste of Whitby's historic landmarks and independent shops from this home in Flowergate, which is perfectly positioned in the heart of town. The Blue Flag-awarded West Cliff Beach is only a five-minute stroll away, making dips in the sea and walks along the beachfront promenade a must-do. Or, climb the 199 Steps and admire the views from Whitby Abbey – also easily reached on foot – followed by a hearty meal at one of the traditional pubs on your doorstep. It's hard to beat the location, but we like this home's characterful-filled spaces, too. Spread across four levels, each floor has cosy nooks where you can gather together and relax. Take your pick – sprawl out on the blue velvet sofa for a movie night, rustle up lunch in the sage-coloured kitchen or work from home at the industrial-style dining table. Fancy a little privacy? Both bedrooms are equal parts charming and comfortable, while the bathroom boasts a Victorian clawfoot tub – just the ticket after a trek along the Cleveland Way.

Home truths
This home is spread across four floors, with winding stairs linking each level – it's not suitable for those with limited mobility
Parking can be tricky in Whitby, but your host provides a complementary parking permit that can be used in the W zones around town – depending on where you park, you may have to walk a bit to reach this home
The clawfoot tub has a showerhead, but it isn't easy to manoeuvre
Storage space is minimal here and there are no wardrobes, so we'd recommend packing light
If needed, the dining table doubles as a laptop-friendly workspace

About Whitby
Famously the setting of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, there’s something hauntingly beautiful about Whitby. The ruins of Whitby Abbey, set atop a windy hill overlooking the town, are just like a scene from a gothic novel. When the sun sets, ghost tours amble through the cobbled streets, revealing the town’s dramatic history. By day it’s all idyllic fishing village vibes, with a hint of Victorian holidays. Colourful cottages that have seen...
