Inside, the spacious, light-filled open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner features eye-catching artwork by a local artist and makes a lovely space for everyone to relax at the end of a great day.

We had a brilliant stay at the black pearl .very close to the bars and shops and also the great views along the west cliffs and whale bones. We had a very warm welcome and the complimentary parking passes were a life saver.we enjoyed our time there and can't wait to stay there again.

Comfortable and cosy apartment, great location within short walking distance to the centre. Nice welcome pack provided. The scratch card parking permit provided by the owner, was also very useful.

Comfortable flat in a great location. Some really good walks along the coast and in the moors accessible from town or via local buses/train. We recommend Humble Pie n Mash over the river.

This was our 2nd stay at the Black Pearl and it didnt disappoint. The rooms are well equipped and comfortable. Its not too far from all the shops and pubs but with most properties in Whitby its a hilly walk back to the apartment. Not a criticism just fact. The beds are comfortable and although there are blinds and curtains at the windows in the bedRead moreroom, it might be worth considering black out blinds or curtains as these would be a bonus. Since our previous visit the tv had been put on the wall rather than free standing. Personal opinion its placed too high. The tvs in the bedrooms are a little on the small side. These really are just personal choices and on the whole the apartment didnt disappoint. We had a lovely break it was comfortable and a quiet holiday. Would certainly return and would recommend to others. Hide

Lovely little place to stay and ideal location to the seaside, and perfect for walkers, and close to nice cafes and fish and chip shops. The only negative thing was all the stairs to the apartment, but it was mentioned at the time of booking
