The location of Abbey View is wonderful, and coffee shops, eateries, traditional pubs, and the famous swing bridge are just a 5-minute stroll away. Whitby draws in visitors from around the world. The town has the famous 199 steps up to the abbey (where Bram Stoker’s beast fled the shipwreck in the novel ‘Dracula’), as well as the old cobbled back streets with a plethora of shops, eateries and traditional bars. The beach stretches for miles, as far as the beautiful little village of Sandsend, with golden sand, rock pools and fossil hunting to enjoy. Captain Cook’s ship, the Endeavour, is now moored up in Whitby, and steam trains run into the nearby North York Moors National Park towards ’Aidensfield’, featured in the TV show ‘Heartbeat’. There is always something happening in Whitby, from Goth festivals to live music and regattas. Keep an eye on the busy year-round calendar to see what’s happening during your holiday.
There are many hidden coastal gems along the Yorkshire Coast, from picturesque Runswick Bay to Staithes, each with its own story of piracy and smugglers. The famous Cleveland Way snakes along the coastline, and the Cinder Track drops down into Robin Hood’s Bay for a leisurely stroll; or take a tourist boat out for maybe a glimpse of dolphins and seals that frequent our coastline. Nearby Scarborough is a traditional seaside resort and has many attractions for families including a waterpark, Sea Life Centre and Peasholm Park, as well as the two large bays. Further afield is the theme park, Flamingo Land, and the walled city of York with its Jorvik Viking Centre, the National Railway Museum, minster and a myriad of shops and bars, all within the city walls. Beach ½ mile. Shop, pub and restaurant ¼ mile.

Beautiful house, decorated to a high standard and has everything you need for a stay. Gorgeous view of Whitby and the Abbey. We really enjoyed the log fire after a cold , windy walk, and the bath was amazing. Lovely surprise welcome a bottle of Prosecco. Thank you to Drew and we will love to return again in summer next time.

A beautiful holiday home.Extremely clean,lovely and warm for our winter break, well equipped with everything you would need. Lovely window seats and a balcony ( a little cold in January) to watch the world go by. Close to everything Whitby has to offer. Free on street parking on the roads behind the house. The owner was helpful with a small problem we had, sorted it straight away. Would highly recommend.Only down fall there is a lot of stairs, which wouldn't be good for the elderly or disabled. But we knew this when we booked, so wasn't a problem for us.
