Set beside the River Esk, this exceptional location allows you to soak up the ever-changing scenery—from boats drifting along the harbour to the heritage steam train passing along the opposite bank during the summer months, as it journeys between Whitby and the stunning North York Moors National Park. With an abundance of seabirds and the occasional seal gliding through the water, it’s also a wonderful spot for wildlife watching.
The apartment benefits from secure undercroft parking for one vehicle, lift access, and well-maintained communal grounds complete with outdoor seating and a small play area. A leisurely 10-minute stroll along the picturesque harbourside footpath brings you into the heart of Whitby’s historic old town, passing charming cafés and traditional pubs along the way.

Two comfortable leather sofas provide a relaxing space to unwind, while a central dining table and well-equipped kitchen make dining in a pleasure.
The apartment comfortably accommodates families or small groups of friends, with two bedrooms both enjoying delightful harbour views. The spacious family room features a double and a single bed, while the second bedroom offers a cosy double. A modern family bathroom includes both a bath and a separate shower, catering to all preferences.
Whitby is a town rich in history, character, and coastal charm. Its most famous landmark, the dramatic ruins of Whitby Abbey, sits proudly on the East Cliff overlooking the town and sea, inspiring visitors for centuries—including Bram Stoker, whose novel Dracula was shaped by its gothic presence. The town’s sandy beaches are perfect for traditional seaside days, and notably include dog-friendly sections all year round, making it an ideal destination for those travelling with four-legged companions.
Whitby’s fascinating heritage can be explored through its museums, including the Captain Cook Memorial Museum and Whitby Museum, both offering insight into the town’s maritime past and cultural significance. For those keen to explore further, the surrounding coastline is dotted with picturesque villages. Sandsend offers a quieter stretch of golden beach and excellent dining spots, while Robin Hood’s Bay enchants with its steep, winding streets and historic cottages. Staithes, once a bustling fishing village, is now known for its artistic charm and colourful harbour, and Runswick Bay provides a peaceful setting with sweeping sands and dramatic cliffs.
For outdoor enthusiasts, the area is a true haven. The Cleveland Way National Trail runs along the coastline, offering spectacular walking routes with unforgettable sea views, while the North York Moors National Park provides miles of scenic trails through heather-clad moorland and rolling countryside. With so many dog-friendly paths and open spaces, it’s the perfect destination for walkers and their canine companions.
Whether you’re seeking a relaxing coastal escape, a base for outdoor adventures, or a chance to explore Whitby’s rich heritage, Abbey Lights offers an unforgettable stay in one of Yorkshire’s most beloved seaside towns.
