Rooftops of Whitby

Rooftops of Whitby: North Yorkshire

With views of Whitby's rooftops through your windows and a storybook armchair beside the fire to soak it all in, this place delivers all the North Yorkshire charm you're chasing.

After days journeying through North Yorkshire's mighty coastlines and national park, get together for hearty feasts around the farmhouse kitchen table. Then hunker down beside the wood-burning fire for cosy film nights, or, on long summer evenings, take things outside onto the private terrace for stargazing and a few warming digestifs. And you'll love the restful interiors of the three bedrooms spread across two floors upstairs, with a generous twin bedroom nestled in the eaves that's sure to be a hit with kids sharing.

When you're ready to explore Whitby, it's just a ten-minute hop, skip and jump to the vibrant centre. From here, you can head for the glorious golden sands of the Blue Flag West Cliff beach and promenade for a dose of seaside nostalgia (think fish and chips, arcades and lashings of ice cream). Soak up the gothic splendour and tackle the 199 steps of the mighty Abbey. Or lose yourself to Whitby's wander-worthy medieval streets brimming with eclectic shops and traditional inns. Your only dilemma will be deciding where to head first.
