Metropole Retreat

You unlock the door to find yourself in a ground-floor apartment that feels far larger than you'd expect. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and space for five: this former hotel building from 1897 makes excellent use of its Victorian proportions. The decking area outside catches the light and the sea view, with a bench for mornings with coffee or evenings watching the light change over the water. On-site parking sits directly outside, and the essentials—wifi, heating, linen, towels—are all sorted.

Whitby's working harbour is ten minutes' walk away. The town centre, with its independent shops and cafes, lies between you and the water. The beach is literally across the promenade. This location suits families wanting easy access to the coast and countryside, couples after a quieter break, or anyone who wants to explore North Yorkshire without much fuss. The property is non-smoking, and one pet is welcome to stay. Check-in is after 15:00 and checkout before 10:00.
