About this property

Book House is a charming, house arranged over four floors (including a ground floor entranceway and hallway) nestled in the heart of Whitby, North Yorkshire, set in a great location for couples, families, or friends alike. Perfectly situated, you can take a leisurely stroll to the beach, shops, and eateries, all within a very short walking distance of the apartment. Make your way up to the first floor, the heart of the house, to discover a welcoming kitchen with electric oven and hob, small counter top fridge/freezer, and dining space, perfect for a romantic dinner or an evening with friends. Then, head through to the sitting room and relax on the plush sofa and armchair while you watch your favourite shows on the Smart TV. As the night rolls in, venture to the second floor to find two double bedrooms neatly presented, along with a shower room where you can freshen up. The final bedroom sits on the third attic floor with exposed beams and offers another King-size bed. Explore Whitby, a stunning coastal town, where you can discover a range of cultural attractions and activities to enjoy. Take a peaceful stroll along the beach, where you can admire the fresh sea air and take in the unending views. If you’re feeling adventurous, take a trip to Whitby Abbey, a spectacular ruin perched atop the cliff edge, or to the charming Church of Saint Mary, both steeped in history. If you are looking for something a bit more activity-filled, why not take a boat trip around the harbor or try out the local fishing boats. For a unique experience, visit Whitby’s famous 199 Steps, where you can take in magnificent views of the town from the Abbey headland. When it comes to dining out, sample the delicious local seafood on offer, or stop by a traditional fish and chip shop, for a quintessentially British meal. Your journey to the North York Moors begins at Book House, where you can expect a holiday of relaxation and exploration.
