Feeling Chipper

Holiday Rental Description

From fish and chip shops and the beach to its Captain Cook connections, Whitby is one of the best-known seaside towns in the UK — and with good reason. This apartment in a new complex is set slightly back from the harbour (away from the busiest areas), but you can still reach the very centre in under ten minutes on foot. And as it’s on the top floor of the building, the views are spectacular. From the balcony, you can see across the rooftops to the ruined abbey on the hill, famously part of the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula. As is often the case with penthouse homes, the elevation also means that's there's lots of natural light too. The white walls and reflective surfaces work to emphasise this asset, which floods in through the skylight as well. Add to that a minimalist kitchen and a modern bathroom finished in particularly sleek grey tiling, and you have an apartment that is equally as covetable as the location.

Home truths:
*A cot can be provided upon request
*There's an allocated parking space for guests
*Although the home itself is step-free, there's no elevator in the building, so it might not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility
*There's no desk but there's a laptop-friendly workspace on the dining table
