From the train station just yards away you can take the train into Whitby which is the very next stop. Or, hop into the car and you are in the heart of Whitby within 5 minutes’.

History buffs will be delighted with the abundance of heritage to discover in this ancient town, from the selection of museums to the fossils and jet you can search for on the beaches.
Take a trip on the steam train which winds its way through the scenic moorland from Whitby to Pickering for a day out to remember. Further afield you have Robin Hood’s Bay, Staithes, Runswick Bay and Scarborough among the many picturesque destinations awaiting you.

A lovely spacious apartment not far from Whitby. We stayed in November and was a cold week but the apartment was warm and cosy. Would recommend.
