The area

Located at the bottom of the 199 famous Abbey steps, No3. Sandside is as close to the action as you can get. With narrow, medieval streets dotted with boutiques, pubs and fish restaurants on your doorstep. You can climb the famous 199 steps up to the Church of Saint Mary. You can also discover the renowned ruined Whitby Abbey, which was the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s gothic novel ‘Dracula’.

On the other side of the River Esk, you’ll come across cosy pubs, fun arcades and even more fish restaurants on Pier Road. Venture along the lively road and you’ll reach the beautiful, blue flag West Cliff Beach which is lined with idyllic beach huts.

Whitby train station is just a 10 minute walk away on foot so villages and towns along the North Yorkshire coast can easily be reached via rail. There’s also a taxi rank in close proximity to the train station.

There are plenty of bus routes throughout Whitby. Hop on the X4 and you can visit beautiful coastal villages like Sandsend, Runswick Bay and Staithes. The X93 travels along the coast to Scarborough. The 95 route features plenty of quaint villages, such as Grosmont and Lealholm.

“Excellent place, as per other users comments parking can be difficult”

“The place was just as stunning as advertised. Falling asleep to the waves was the best. The beds are comfortable and the living room is just perfect. It’s in a very walkable area. But if you have issues with walking down and uphill I would be cautious. Parking is a bit of a nightmare and cost can rack up. I suggest bringing a wagon if you pack heavy like me because it will be a bit of a walk and you can’t drive up to the air bnb. They only provide starter amenities so I would suggest bringing toilet paper. There isn’t a store close by. There is one about a 10 minute walk away. We did absolutely love this place and would come back in a heartbeat!”
