The location is fabulous. Sandsend is a gorgeous little coastal village, and at low tide you have a vast expanse of soft sand, whilst at high tide on stormy days the waves are spectacular.

There is a surf school nearby where you can join the many surfers, paddle boarders or kayakers, or simply relax and take in the wonderful scenery.

You are surrounded by the North York Moors National Park, which you can explore on foot, by car or even by steam train. The heritage railway runs from Whitby to Pickering, and stops at some beautiful villages along the way, you may recognise Goathland from the TV series ’Heartbeat’ or from Harry Potter as the location was used as Hogsmeade. Whitby draws guests from around the world, its cobbled old town road lined with quirky independent shops and cafés is charming, with the iconic abbey atop the cliff.

Spent a week here. Good location for exploring the local area being walkable to Whitby which we did on a number of occasions. There is also a local bus service that runs regularly so good links to the various villages and there are a couple of pubs and breakfast type places nearby but no local shops unfortunately. Hardly a deal breaker but just to be advisedHaving the parking pass provided was helpful and is couple minute walk away. There is parking directly outside but roadworks were happening so we couldn’t use but looks okayall the facilities are good with what you need to self cater. WiFi is reasonable, and the beds are comfortable. Building itself is older with some signs of wear and tear in places but nothing majorSea is directly opposite, and nice to hear the waves and wander on the beach.Good stay and we’d happily return

Lovely apartment in lovely position. Steps outside uneven and potentially a problem for elderly people such as us.
