Abbey View Villas - Shearwater

About this property

Set amongst the cobbled streets and gothic architecture of Yorkshire’s Whitby, this exceptional apartment for two provides a romantic base from which to explore. Centrally located for all kinds of visits; be it a literary trip, a history-seeking stay or simply a beach holiday; this property is within effortless reach of all that the town has to offer. Inside, you’ll find that traditional features of the Victorian terrace have been sympathetically renovated to create an entirely modern place to stay, complete with the versatile addition of a sofa bed in the lounge to accommodate an additional two guests.

Head up to the second floor where views of the historic Whitby Abbey can be admired from the open-plan living space. Fitted with parquet flooring and a mid-century-inspired décor, this room is sure to impress. The kitchen has been designed with any keen chef in mind and the soft seating is made for sinking into after a satiating meal. Switch on the Smart TV or the Bluetooth speaker to relax your way. At the end of the day, find a king-size bedroom with lavish furniture, a comfortable mattress and plush bath robes waiting. Finally, find an en-suite bathroom with a contemporary fitted walk-in shower just next door.

With fish and chips in hand, take a trip down to the promenade and sit on the beach (0.5 miles), watching boats sail in and out of the harbour as families play on the sand. Said boats are ready to take you on any number of regular boat trips, including sea safari adventures for spotting seals and other wildlife. A walk along the Cleveland Way offers the chance to admire the sea life from afar, taking a route along the clifftops and along to Robin Hood’s Bay (6 miles) and down to Scarborough (20 miles).
