Seacrest

Whitby's seafront draws visitors for its beaches, the famous abbey ruins, and the working harbour that inspired Bram Stoker. Seacrest sits at the foot of the 199 Steps in the conservation area, a period cottage positioned between the sand and St Mary's church. The property sleeps four across two bedrooms: one with a double bed, one with two singles. There's a bathroom with a bath and shower, and a kitchen equipped for self-catering with a dishwasher and washer-dryer. Electricity, wi-fi and all bed linen are provided.

The living room has a TV and a woodburner for cooler evenings. Upstairs rooms catch sea views. Outside, a courtyard with seating and a barbecue looks onto the street, and there's a private parking space for one car. A pub and restaurant stand just 20 yards away. The property has narrow stairs and some steep sections; note this if mobility is a concern. Tate Hill Sands are moments on foot, and from here you can walk to Robin Hoods Bay or Staithes along the coast.
