Mason's Place

About this property

Mason’s Place is a charming property in Whitby, North Yorkshire, ideal for couples and solo travellers along with a four-legged friend, set close to the North York Moors National Park with both the beach and river nearby. This beautiful retreat sits within one of Whitby’s proud historic buildings on the Esplanade, a grand 1800s property whose character is woven into every room. High ceilings, huge sash windows, and an original iron balcony give this apartment a sense of space and heritage that stands far apart from modern plasterboard builds. It’s a home with history, and you feel it the moment you arrive.

Set on the edge of the North York Moors National Park and just moments from both beach and river, the apartment offers the best of Whitby’s coast and countryside. As you approach, breathe in the fresh sea air and catch a glimpse of the water at the end of the street before stepping inside. The entrance hallway is the perfect place to shed coats and shoes after a day exploring. The well‑equipped kitchen features a bold blue wall inspired by the nearby coastline, along with an oven, hob, and fridge/freezer ready for your favourite ingredients and easy meals during your stay.

Move through to the spacious living/dining room, where the building’s Victorian proportions really shine. A generous bay window floods the room with natural light, and the dining table for two sits perfectly to enjoy it. After meals, load the dishwasher for a fuss‑free clean‑up, then settle into the sofa as evening arrives. The electric fire adds warmth and comfort, and the TV makes for a relaxed night in. From the living room, step through the tall sash windows onto the original iron balcony, a beautiful spot to look out to sea, enjoy the coastal breeze, or unwind on warm summer nights.

The contemporary shower room offers a large walk‑in shower to refresh after your adventures. When it’s time to rest, the pleasant king‑size bedroom provides a calm, comfortable space to recharge. In the morning, wander down to Whitby Beach to catch the sunrise, enjoy fish and chips later in the day, or take on the famous 199 Steps for sweeping views across the harbour. At the top, Whitby Abbey stands proudly on the clifftop, offering both history and breathtaking scenery. The North York Moors National Park is also within easy reach, with peaceful walking trails and rich wildlife to discover. After a day exploring North Yorkshire, return to Mason’s Place, a home full of character, comfort, and coastal charm.

The seaside town and port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire. Ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire, the local area hosts an array of activities so you can be sure to get the best out of both the countryside and the coast. From the nearby North York Moors to its Blue Flag beaches, there's something here for everyone. Amongst its many attractions, Whitby holds a charming atmosphere, home to winding streets and hidden alleys, where you can find a wide selection of eateries and shops scattered amongst them. Take a trip to the picturesque harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun set or get involved in some whale watching or a coastal cruise to watch the creatures up close. Climb the famous 199 steps to the Whitby Abbey to immerse yourself with history, or visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum presenting historical and ethnographic exhibition about Cook himself. Close to the Robin Hood's Bay, rich in heritage, wonders and scenic spots, and in easy reach of the bustling towns of Scarborough and Middlesbrough, Whitby is a prime location for exploring all of the delights that Yorkshire has to offer.
