This lovely three bedroom apartment is in a great location, with views over the estuary and towards the abbey, just a pleasant stroll away from the centre of Whitby. Picturesk is a first floor apartment where you can spend many an hour sat at the window watching the boats go by, or seeing the children learn to canoe. The communal grounds have some lovely sitting-out areas, as well as a small playground for the little ones. It’s not far to walk into the centre along the side of the estuary, you’ll find that you hardly need the car as it’s a perfect spot to get to all the amenities and see the sights of Whitby.
Walk up the famous Whitby Abbey, with its 199 steps to get to the top. You will see many children counting them as they take each step. The cobbled streets are full of little shops, especially the Whitby Jet jewellery shops. This black gemstone became very popular when Queen Victoria wore it when mourning for her husband. The black jewellery also attracts goths when they hold their famous weekend in Whitby.
The North Yorkshire Moors are on the doorstep, and the Cleveland Way passes through Whitby, so this is a great base for ramblers or hardened walkers. There’s so much to see and do, but if you do want to step outside of Whitby, why not go down the coast to Scarborough, or inland to the town of Pickering, famous for its steam railway. For all ages, Whitby is the perfect holiday spot.

Another great stay at apartment. Communication with owner good and easy to contact. Arrival pack a good start to holiday. Apartment very clean and had everything we needed in kitchen to prepare meals. Views from windows bueatiful to sit and take in. We could watch the steam trains arrive and depart from station , there is not many places in UK that you can do that. Weather was good to enjoy walking and exploring area around Whitby. Looking forwards to returning in October for another week. Would highly recommend this apartment to family and friends.

We had a lovely week staying in Picturesk. Accommodation was clean, tidy & well equipped and the welcome pack was a nice added extra.We were lucky enough to get an early entry time, which gave us a little bit longer to enjoy our holiday. Also, my daughter drove down a few days after us and Val was able to advise which parking spaces we could use for the additional car.Would happily recommend Picturesk to anyone.
