A peaceful and convenient retreat sleeping four is less than 0.25 miles from the cobbled streets, shops and busy harbour of this delightful former fishing village. Fishing boats of all sizes still operate out of Whitby and the town boasts some of the best fish restaurants and fish and chips shops to be found. Watch the boats come ashore in the early morning to get first choice of their catch. Book a variety of sea trips, including angling, whale watching if the season is right, and an evening outing to see the lights of the town from a different perspective. Climb the famous 199 steps to the ruins of Whitby’s 13th century Abbey or take a gentler walk along the sandy beach that runs to the pretty village of Sandsend (2 miles). On the doorstep is the beautiful North York Moors National Park, with more great walks and pretty villages to discover.

Twelve steps lead up from a secure entry to the apartment block’s light and airy lobby. An entrance hall leads to a spacious open plan living/diner/kitchen layout, with snug seating and TV, dining table and chairs, and a streamlined kitchen. Two bedrooms, one king-size with TV and doors leading to a patio, and one twin. A bathroom has a bath with shower over and WC.

Outside, a small, private patio area has a table and chairs, plus parking for one car.

  • 2 bedrooms, 1 king-size, 1 twin
  • 1 bathroom with shower over the bath and WC
  • Electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, washer, dishwasher.
  • TV Freesat, DVD, (additional TV in the double bedroom)
  • Small, enclosed patio area with table and chairs
  • Private parking for 1 car (please note there is 2.1 height restriction)
  • Shop, pub, beach, 0.5 miles

We enjoyed our stay at Driftwood. The property was very clean and met our needs perfectly. The information on the website was very accurate and the instructions for access to the car parking and property were excellent. It is situated very close to the station and also shops, restaurants and other entertainment. Parking was easy and very secure in Read morethe underground parking area. We were also kept well informed of everything we needed to know about our stay. Thank you. Hide

We really enjoyed staying in this property - it has everything that you need and is really comfortable. It is in a quiet location but still within walking distance of everything you need.The only downside is that the wifi was not very strong but I understand that is an issue throughout the town.

Lovely property, the location is ideal only being 5 minutes walk away from Whitby Harbour and the private parking is a huge bonus. The property itself was clean and well-equipped and the property owner was lovely and a pleasure to deal with. We have stayed in this property a few times and will definitely be back.

property was fine, good location and clean. one or two disappointments - lack of any sort of welcome tray (not even a small carton of milk), wifi was unobtainable, and the cd/radio would not accept cd's.

The facilities and contents of the let were first class and it would be difficult to suggest how these could be improved upon. The private car park is a definite plus due to the parking in Whitby being problematic during busier times. Less than 5 minutes walk from shops, bars, restaurants etc. made Driftwood a perfect location and free from trafficRead more noise. I would highly recommend to prospective holiday makers for either a short or long term break. Hide

Driftwood has everything we needed for a week in Whitby, a really quiet location but only a couple of minutes from the train station and all the shops and restaurants, plus the secure parking which is a big plus. Would definitely recommend it. Only one small thing - the information pack in the property needs updating and you sent us an email about Read moreposting keys out which is out of date. Otherwise perfect. Hide
