Abbey Peep

Couples and small groups will find Abbey Peep suits them well—this is an adults-only first-floor apartment in a restored Georgian house overlooking Pannet Park in Whitby's historic centre. The property comprises a living and dining room, two bedrooms (one with a king bed and ensuite shower, one with a double), and a family bathroom with a Jacuzzi bath. Everything needed for a stay is provided: electricity, heating, wifi, bed linen and towels. There is off-street parking for one car on the doorstep, a genuine advantage in a town where spaces are scarce.

The apartment's character comes partly from its quirk: a tiny framed view of Whitby Abbey, magnified through a palm-sized window, sits in the living area. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, and local seafood is within easy reach. The location puts the seafront, cliff-top walks and the town's museums and attractions within strolling distance. No smoking is permitted.
