The area

Whitby is a charming seaside town on the North Yorkshire coast, famous for its stunning harbour, sandy beaches, and rich maritime history. Steeped in character, Whitby offers a wonderful mix of cobbled streets, independent shops, cosy cafés, traditional pubs, and award-winning seafood restaurants. Explore the iconic Whitby Abbey, climb the famous 199 Steps for breathtaking coastal views, or enjoy scenic walks along the harbour and dramatic coastline. Popular with families, couples, and walkers alike, Whitby is the perfect destination for relaxing coastal escapes all year round.

Whitby is well connected and easy to explore, with a mix of scenic and practical transport options in and around the town.

Whitby has a central railway station on the picturesque Esk Valley line, offering scenic services towards Middlesbrough and connections via North Yorkshire Moors Railway for steam train experiences through the moors. While there are no direct long-distance mainline services, regular train links connect via nearby hubs such as Scarborough and Middlesbrough, making onward travel straightforward.

Bus travel is one of the most convenient ways to reach and explore the area, with frequent services linking Whitby to Scarborough, York, Pickering, and surrounding coastal villages. The well-known Coastliner and coastal routes provide reliable and scenic journeys along the Yorkshire coastline and through the North York Moors.

For drivers, Whitby is accessible via the A171 and A169, offering direct routes from York, Scarborough, and Teesside, with coastal and moorland scenery along the way. Once in town, Whitby is compact and highly walkable, with most attractions, beaches, shops, and the harbour all within easy reach on foot.

“Absolutely stunning! 💖 Paylors View is a real little gem in Whitby. The property was beautifully clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. We stayed with our 4-year-old and 82-year-old Nan, and it was perfect for all ages — everyone had such a lovely time. The views were absolutely amazing and made our stay even more special. 🌊✨ We genuinely couldn’t fault it and would definitely recommend Paylors View to anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay in Whitby. We’ll definitely be back! 💕”

“A lovely apartment in a great location, all as described. Owner came over and was very helpful. We'd love to go back, but definitely not going to book if it's managed by Host and Stay who were terrible - see below. Badly let down by Host and Stay who manage the booking. It took an hour on the phone when we arrived to get the access code, they had no record of our booking, then it turned out the place was double booked. Zero communication from Host and Stay after that, they totally failed to respond to my messages during my stay and I have had zero response or contact from them since. Totally unprofessional. This is my first bad review I'm leaving on Airbnb in over 10 years and many many trips.”
