Whitby Shoreline Apartment

A contemporary apartment situated a stone's throw from the shoreline of Whitby on the peaceful Yorkshire Coast. This elegant retreat is perfect for couples or solo travellers seeking a relaxing escape by the sea. Inhale the crisp ocean breeze as you stroll the stretch of sand at Whitby Beach (500 metres), before stretching out on the plump sofa with a chilled tipple.

This property embodies stylish simplicity with creamy neutral hues, clean lines, and tasteful design details. Shrug off outer layers in the hallway then step into the open plan living space. Raid the glossy kitchen cabinets for a post-adventure snack or whip up a feast using an array of local seafood ingredients. Crack open a bottle of the good stuff then delve into a celebratory meal perched at the intimate wooden dining table. After dinner, retire to the lounge area and kick up weary feet on the plush ottoman. Snuggle in with a film, pour over local guidebooks, or chat into the early hours. Enjoy a relaxing rinse in the tiled bathroom before turning in for the night. Rest up in the pillowy king-sized bed then enjoy a morning brew perched in the sun-dappled courtyard.

Keen historians will delight in strolling beneath the stone arches and gothic turrets of Whitby Abbey (700 metres) or drinking in panoramic views during the 199-step ascent to St Mary's Church (600 metres). For the thrill-seekers, kit up to tackle the tidal waves on a guided sea kayak adventure from Runswick Bay (8 miles).
