About this property

Two double bedroom flat with fantastic roof terrace overlooking Swing Brid

From the roof terrace look down on the crowds and venture out for an evening stroll along Church Street to the famous Abbey steps, or down to Tate Sands, below the Abbey, where Dracula's ship was wrecked. When the bell rings go out with a drink to watch the bridge opening and the yachts going out to sea and the fisherman returning with their catch in the evening. If there's a better spot in Whitby to watch the world go by I've yet to find it and I've been visiting for over 50 years!
A light spacious flat with art work on the walls and a cosy dining/ living room. Sorry but not suitable for dogs, and as there are two flights of stairs into the flat unfortunately unsuitable for those with mobility problems. Young children will need supervision on the roof terrace. PLEASE NOTE AFTER TWO FIRES ON THE DECKING NO BBQ'S ARE PERMITTED !
You can see the view of the Swing Bridge from the roof terrace here:

The best spot in Whitby!

We had a lovely time in Whitby, the flat was perfect and definitely in the best spot. Fantastic views from the roof terrace and the best bits of Whitby on your doorstep. Would recommend this place and would certainly stay again.

Lovely base to explore Whitby

Perfect location, comfortable beds and furniture. Should make it clearer that no BBQs allowed on terrace before booking, or remove the pic of someone bbq'ing from images to avoid any misconceptions

Splendid location and a really nice flat

Literally right in the centre of Whitby. Comfortable flat with all you need for a pleasant stay. Weather wasn't quite good enough to enjoy the roof terrace but the views were fantastic.

Lovely terrace to watch sun go down. Comfortable apartment with homely feel. Surprisingly quiet - the street noise a surprise when you open front door.

Perfect flat at any time of year

We've just enjoyed our third stay at this flat. It is just so relaxing and comfortable yet Whitby is on the doorstep - it's fabulous. It's so easy to pop in and out in between seeing the sights, which are all close by, or sit on the terrace for the best of both worlds. Great.

Weekend in Whitby

The location was perfect and the roof terrace was great. The photographs don’t do it justice. It has two large double rooms and everything you need. It’s quirky and full of character. Hopefully, we’ll visit again soon.

Perfect location

On a sunny day, there isn’t a better place than the roof terrace to watch the world go by! A great location to explore the beauty of Whitby. Quirky apartment with everything you need 😊 (apart from towels… you need to take your own and I missed that in the booking confirmation!)

Lovely 2 bedroom flat in a fabulous location. Plenty of room for four adults. Amazing roof top terrace with brilliant views. We had lovely weather and spent quite a few hours soaking up the sunshine and enjoying the views. Thank you to John for this little gem. Hopefully we will be returning in the near future.

Meet up with friends

We went to Whitby to meet some friends. Having stopped in this wonderful flat before it was the obvious place to stay this time. Two of our sons joined us and wished they’d been before and asked when we can come back. They also decided our stay should be much longer. It truly is a wonderful place and we all can’t wait to visit again.

Excellent flat in most stunning location in town

The flat is superbly located right in the centre of town with a stunning view from its own private roof terrace over the swing bridge across the river. The flat itself is very well equipped with everything you could need for a single night's stay or a whole week or longer. I will be very happy to return in the future when in Whitby.

Location, location, location

This rental is all about location. It is in the heart of the town with a great roof terrace overlooking the town and estuary. Be aware there are 34 steps to the apartment (another 14 to the master bedroom) a bit onerous when unloading but worth it when you get there! However, parking is a nightmare!! It took 1 3/4 hours to find a space on arrival and we never did find a space in the ‘free’ road side parking. Hence we had to feed the meter every morning £9 a day! That was outside school holidays.

About the host

Hosted by J W Rogers

Host profile image
We are a family of 4 and the flat is our special retreat. We love returning to Whitby on the North Yorkshire coast.
We hope you will find our property like a 'home from home', with lots of books and dvds!

Why they chose this property

I've been coming to Whitby for over 50 years and always wanted a bolthole here, so when we saw that this flat with possibly the best location and view in Whitby was for sale we knew we had to have it!

What makes this property unique

Best fish and chips in the world at the Magpie café according to Rick Stein - and us!
Crabbing! The seaside!
The steam train ride over the moors!
Whitby's charm both old and new - the shops, the abbey, the museum, Dracula! Whitby has it all!
