About this property
A stylish Whitby townhouse, five minutes’ stroll from the historic town centre with its chic restaurants, pubs, tea rooms and eclectic shops.
This gorgeous three bedroom property has been refurbished to a very high standard, each of its spacious rooms are individually styled to create the wow factor.
Families and couples seeking an impressive coastal getaway, well situated for exploring Whitby and the splendours of Yorkshire’s stunning coastline, should check into the perfectly appointed ‘See Glympse’.
Located in a quiet area of Whitby, the cottage is only a ten minute walk to the golden sandy beach and thriving waterfront scene.
On entering the property, a hallway leads to a welcoming sitting room decorated in warm, earthy tones. Exposed brickwork and real-flame effect fire create a contemporary rustic feel, whilst the chandelier, cornicing and large window add a touch of period elegance. Relax together in this cosy space after a day’s sightseeing. Smart TV/DVD included.
The dining room offers a pleasant place to enjoy a meal, and is decorated in duck egg blue with accents of copper. There is a wall-mounted Smart TV/DVD and a window seat which stores a selection of board games and DVDs - perfect for relaxed holiday entertainment. From here, enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the small rear courtyard.
A well-equipped kitchen is similarly decorated, with gorgeous wall tiles that add French-style vintage charm. There is a useful ground floor cloakroom.
To the first floor, the main house bathroom is sure to impress. It is huge! And the Victorian detailing is delightful: bottle-green wall tiles with a claw-foot roll-top bath, high WC cistern and ornate over-basin mirror. Choose from a refreshing walk-in double shower or a leisurely soak – do things your way!
Leading off the bathroom is a sumptuous master king-size bedroom – guests can be sure of a good night’s sleep in the fantastic mahogany bed with a deep mattress for extra comfort. For those who like to unwind before bed, there is a Smart TV as well as bedside reading lamps – why not borrow a book from the small library on the second floor.
Also on the second floor are a double bedroom with a charming nautical theme décor and a king-size double with en-suite shower room and TV, the latter boasts a fabulous long-range view of Whitby Abbey.
A flagged rear small enclosed courtyard garden provides a welcome spot to relax and take in the sea air.
There’s so much to see and do, for all ages, in Whitby. Kids will enjoy crabbing in the harbour or a day at the beach, perhaps boogie boarding or fossil hunting, followed by world-class fish and chips. Boat trips run regularly throughout the year from the nearby harbour and are a fun way to see more of the heritage coast.
Or for a magical experience, hop on board a steam locomotive across the North York Moors – the scenery is so pretty. Art-lovers should check out local artists from nearby Staithes, there’s also an annual Arts Festival in September.
See Glympe provides a restful home from home in picturesque Whitby.
The ancient fishing port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk and is ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire, with its superb coastline and close proximity to the spectacular North York Moors. Whitby is a charming and atmospheric town of winding streets and hidden alleys, with a picturesque harbour, safe sandy beaches and of course the Abbey, reached by the famous 199 steps.

This was due to a restrictive clause imposed on our stay, which was only introduced to us after we had fully paid for the holiday. This was that under no circumstances at any time could our dog be left alone in the house. Why was this never made clear in the initial details? We have stayed at many cottages in Whitby before and are used to âdog rulesâ which are always made clear from the start. We have no problem with these and happily adhere to them. But this restriction, imposed at the last minute, meant that we could not go into town together, go for long walks during the day together, go out in the evening togetherâ¦all the things we love to do in Whitby. Our dog is a 12 year old Cavalier with a heart condition, he doesnât do distance or crowds! The only thing we could do as a family all week was to walk him round the block. We are therefore looking for substantial compensation for a ruined holiday. I have spoken with Sykes today who have told me they will set up a case and get back to me. You cannot impose such restrictive conditions at that stage of an agreement. In fact it is illegal to do so, and this is a route we shall take if necessary.

The property is in a good location, a 5 minute walk down to the train station and has ample free parking outside the house or on nearby streets. The house itself is very tastefully decorated, with good quality fixtures and fittings and ample seating for 6 people in the lounge and dining room. There is an unbelievable amount of crockery and cutlery and everything else you could possibly need. There are three good sized bedrooms, all with comfortable beds and two bathrooms. We had an issue on arrival about cleaners having not been in but this was very quickly resolved with the agents and the house was left spotlessly clean. We would definitely use again and can highly recommend. Ps not really suitable for anyone with mobility problems as there are lots of steps.

Beautiful furniture and thoughtful decoration and very close to the lovely harbour. Very clean and full of household necessities. A lovely little hamper on arrival too. Only drawback was the lack of parking and row of bins behind the property but this was understandable in a built up area. Will recommend.
