Hilltop Hideaway

Whitby's cobbled streets and working harbour are minutes away on foot, and Whitby Abbey's clifftop ruins are visible from the kitchen window – a steep climb of 199 steps rewards you with coastal views that stretch for miles. The beach at Sandsend is within easy reach, and pleasure boats run from the harbour for trips out to sea. The town centre shops, restaurants and pubs sit nearby; one is less than a mile away.

Hilltop Hideaway is a two-bedroom, lower ground floor apartment with five beds across its rooms: a super king in the main bedroom and a double with a single bunk above in the second. The kitchen and dining area is where the abbey view lives, with a gas oven, hob and microwave for cooking, and a washing machine if you need it. The living room has comfortable seating, a television, CD and DVD players, and an electric fire. One bathroom with a bath and shower serves the property. Essentials like electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are covered. There is a courtyard with garden furniture for sitting outside, and parking on the road with easy unloading at the door.

The apartment suits small families or couples, and one well-behaved pet can stay free. No smoking inside. Check-in is after 15:00 and checkout before 10:00.
