Sandgate Waterside

Sandgate Waterside is a one-bedroom apartment on Whitby's east side, sleeping two. Step inside to find a large panoramic window in the lounge that frames views across the River Esk's lower harbour—the kind of vista that rewards both lazy mornings and contemplative evenings. A private balcony extends that connection to the water, offering a proper spot to sit outside and watch the activity on the estuary.

The layout works because everything needed for a short break is here without unnecessary space. The bedroom has fresh linens provided, the bathroom is ensuite, and the kitchen is fitted to a high standard with granite worktops and proper equipment for self-catering. Electricity is included in the cost. The interior uses quality materials throughout—Italian tiles in the bathroom and carefully chosen finishes elsewhere—so the apartment has a considered, finished feel rather than the typical holiday let aesthetic.

The location puts you within a mile of the coast, with Whitby town and its beaches accessible for days out, but far enough back to feel calm and away from the seafront bustle. The no-smoking policy is in place throughout. Check-in is after 3pm and checkout before 10am.
