  • "This is our second time staying at White Horses."

    Everything is perfect. Comfortable, clean, great location, well equipped, inviting, but most of all a spectacular view of Whitby. Lovely holiday with my two year old grandson who loved watching the castle ( Whitby Abbey) change colours in the evening. Recharged our batteries ready for winter.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback. We are thrilled that you have returned for a second visit, that you find everything perfect and are recharged for the winter! Property Owner

  • "I’m very hard to please, but I would certainly stay again (didn’t want to leave)."

    Internally the property is exceptionally well maintained and the bay window view of the abbey will live long in the memory. Central location, comfortable bed and lack of noise make it a winner. It would have been nice to have a welcome pack of more than a pint of milk and a packet of biscuits, but we had a restorative break. 85/100.

    Thank you so much for your feedback, which is most appreciated. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at White Horses. Property Owner

  • "The owner should ask the cleaner to check the coffee machine."

    A previous tenant had not removed a spent capsule, and this had obviously spent some time in the machine and gone mouldy.

    Thank you so much for your extremely high feedback scores, including cleanliness at 100%. As you have scored cleanliness so highly, we trust you will recognise that this was an isolated incident, which our cleaner was mortified to be advised of. We hope to welcome you and your family back to White Horses in the future. Property Owner

  • "We had a fantastic stay in White Horses."

    The apartment is only a 5-10 minute walk down to the centre of Whitby and has fantastic views of the sea and over to the Abby. The accommodation is perfect, with everything you could possibly need. The children loved the bunk beds and the box of toys and books! Lovely cozy lounge area and a really well equipped kitchen. Usually got parked on the road outside, but used the big car park near the station if we couldn't find space. We'll definitely be back!

    We are thrilled to have received such wonderful feedback, thank you! It's wonderful to hear you had such a fantastic stay in White Horses, that the accommodation is perfect and that your children loved the toys and books. We look forward to welcoming you back to White Horses in the future. Property Owner

    Presentation and comfort good. Location and views are lovely. Shower head needs an upgrade. Parking can be tricky as there is no designated spot.

The property

Resting centrally in Whitby, North Yorkshire, is this converted Victorian apartment, White Horses.

Located on the second floor, elevated views of the town are on offer, along with a well-located base, within proximity to local shops, eateries, attractions, the beach, and the North York Moors National Park, combining convenience and character for a family of four.

Head upstairs, reaching your own private apartment door, before relaxing in the open-plan living space, with high ceilings, an ornamental fireplace, plush seating, and large bay windows with stunning views across the rooftops to Whitby Abbey, St Mary's Church, the marina, and the white horses of the sea beyond the harbour walls.

Under the archway, you will find a lovely kitchen and dining area with a wooden table, and state-of-the-art fixtures, where you can prepare and enjoy meals as a group.

The first bedroom of White Horses hosts full sized single bunkbeds intertwined with a touch of the seaside for a peaceful effect throughout, whilst the double bedroom breathes nothing less than elegance, well-matched and tied together by seaside features, flowing curtains and a glimpse of scenery.

The apartment is complete with a spacious bathroom, perfect for refreshing in after a day of adventure.

On your doorstep you’ll have plenty to see and do as a family, from dining out at The Marine Bar & Restaurant, or grabbing some British staples at Magpie Café, to touring Whitby Abbey, relaxing upon the beachfront, climbing the 199 steps for the best vantage point, or touring the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, full of history-rich artefacts and stories.

Scarborough is a must-visit town to add to your itinerary, dotted with seaside attractions to entertain the entire family, including Scarborough Castle, SEA LIFE Scarborough, the stunning Italian Gardens, Alpamare UK waterpark, and Scarborough Open Air Theatre, hosting year-round events.

Conclude your adventure by exploring the national park and its abundance of hot spots, including Mallyan Spout Waterfall, Hole of Horcum, and The Old Coastguard Station, offering the best of both the coast and country.

Gather your loved ones with White Horses as your base.

About the location

WHITBY

Robin Hood's Bay 5.5 miles; Scarborough 19.3 miles; Pickering 23 miles; Guisborough 21.5 miles.

The seaside town and port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire. Ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire, the local area hosts an array of activities so you can be sure to get the best out of both the countryside and the coast. From the nearby North York Moors to its Blue Flag beaches, there's something here for everyone. Amongst its many attractions, Whitby holds a charming atmosphere, home to winding streets and hidden alleys, where you can find a wide selection of eateries and shops scattered amongst them. Take a trip to the picturesque harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun set or get involved in some whale watching or a coastal cruise to watch the creatures up close. Climb the famous 199 steps to the Whitby Abbey to immerse yourself with history, or visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum presenting historical and ethnographic exhibition about Cook himself. Close to the Robin Hood's Bay, rich in heritage, wonders and scenic spots, and in easy reach of the bustling towns of Scarborough and Middlesbrough, Whitby is a prime location for exploring all of the delights that Yorkshire has to offer.
