Two double bedroom flat with fantastic roof terrace overlooking Swing Brid

From the roof terrace look down on the crowds and venture out for an evening stroll along Church Street to the famous Abbey steps, or down to Tate Sands, below the Abbey, where Dracula's ship was wrecked. When the bell rings go out with a drink to watch the bridge opening and the yachts going out to sea and the fisherman returning with their catch in the evening. If there's a better spot in Whitby to watch the world go by I've yet to find it and I've been visiting for over 50 years!
A light spacious flat with art work on the walls and a cosy dining/ living room. Sorry but not suitable for dogs, and as there are two flights of stairs into the flat unfortunately unsuitable for those with mobility problems. Young children will need supervision on the roof terrace. PLEASE NOTE AFTER TWO FIRES ON THE DECKING NO BBQ'S ARE PERMITTED !
You can see the view of the Swing Bridge from the roof terrace here:

The flat was absolutely brilliant, the area it’s in was brilliant for our stay, unloading the car was easy the rooms where bright and very clean and it had everything you could possible need for a short stay.The stairs going up to the flat are quite brutal ( I’ve got a bad knee ) but it was outweighed by the veranda over looking the estuary.Will definitely be staying again and cannot recommend enough Mr Barrett

The best spot in Whitby!

We had a lovely time in Whitby, the flat was perfect and definitely in the best spot. Fantastic views from the roof terrace and the best bits of Whitby on your doorstep. Would recommend this place and would certainly stay again.

Lovely base to explore Whitby

Perfect location, comfortable beds and furniture. Should make it clearer that no BBQs allowed on terrace before booking, or remove the pic of someone bbq'ing from images to avoid any misconceptions

Splendid location and a really nice flat

Literally right in the centre of Whitby. Comfortable flat with all you need for a pleasant stay. Weather wasn't quite good enough to enjoy the roof terrace but the views were fantastic.

Perfect flat at any time of year

We've just enjoyed our third stay at this flat. It is just so relaxing and comfortable yet Whitby is on the doorstep - it's fabulous. It's so easy to pop in and out in between seeing the sights, which are all close by, or sit on the terrace for the best of both worlds. Great.

Weekend in Whitby

The location was perfect and the roof terrace was great. The photographs don’t do it justice. It has two large double rooms and everything you need. It’s quirky and full of character. Hopefully, we’ll visit again soon.

On a sunny day, there isn’t a better place than the roof terrace to watch the world go by! A great location to explore the beauty of Whitby. Quirky apartment with everything you need 😊 (apart from towels… you need to take your own and I missed that in the booking confirmation!)

Excellent flat in most stunning location in town

The flat is superbly located right in the centre of town with a stunning view from its own private roof terrace over the swing bridge across the river. The flat itself is very well equipped with everything you could need for a single night's stay or a whole week or longer. I will be very happy to return in the future when in Whitby.

Great little getaway in a fabulous location ……

…. All the stairs are worth it for the fabulous view from the terrace . Wonderful to sit and watch the world go by in more or less total privacy - apart from the seagulls! The flat is in a great location right in the centre of Whitby and an easy stroll to the lovely shops around Church Street and our favourite pub, the Black Horse. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay and was very clean and tidy on arrival. Comfy beds, very comfy sofa and great people watching spot from the dining table. We even managed without Wi-fi for a week 🙂 Check in was simple and communications with the owner great. Looking forward to a return visit.

Location, location, location

This rental is all about location. It is in the heart of the town with a great roof terrace overlooking the town and estuary. Be aware there are 34 steps to the apartment (another 14 to the master bedroom) a bit onerous when unloading but worth it when you get there! However, parking is a nightmare!! It took 1 3/4 hours to find a space on arrival and we never did find a space in the ‘free’ road side parking. Hence we had to feed the meter every morning £9 a day! That was outside school holidays.

Whitby trip

Stayed for 3 nights in May. Managed to park for free on arrival,bonus! Felt a little uncomfortable in the small entrance alley,it seemed quite dirty.The stairs up to the apartment door were cracked and the light was on a sensor which didnt come on until i was on the second step. After unlocking the apartment door the stairs leading up were a disappointing first impression, they were covered with a plastic protector which was dirty and torn.Once in the apartment it was comfy and well equipped if a little tired in places. Carpet needed a clean and some painting was needed. Beds were clean with nice linen. Roof terrace was impressive view wise.There was an upturned table and a storage box with no front on which was littered with a broken chair and various broken and mouldy bits of fishing equipment which spoiled the area. I didnt use the kitchen but it seemed really well equipped. There was a mix up with my booking,the property was double booked. John rang and because i was quite flexible with dates i was able to go later than planned. The stairs andand

The Great Escape.

The lookout was ideal due to the large roof terrace and the Weather being kind to us. The views from the terrace were amazing. Watching the boats and yachts going by and the swing bridge operating. A very interesting place to stay, we loved it so much we booked an extra night which was done easily via home away by contacting the owner. The apartment is very well equipped and has original arts and crafts feel. Convenient for all our food needs as numerous restaurants and take aways are nearby. I even had a 3 hr boat fishing trip on “Libby” and took some good cod home! We’ll be back!😎
