Description Seagulls Calling: Whitby

You'd be hard-pressed to find a better location for a coastal escape than Whitby. One of the UK's most beloved seaside towns, it has plenty of sand, a unique spirit and bucketloads of style. This vibe continues in this apartment, simple but sleek in a monochrome palette with pops of colour – you'll happily wake up here to the sound of the seagulls and the scent of salt in the air. It's got all the essentials you need, and is conveniently located in the centre of town above a shop, so enjoying everything Whitby has to offer is easy. Take a stroll up to the ruins of the abbey or lose yourself in the myth of Dracula that still buzzes through the town. Once you've worked up an appetite, you'll just need to decide what kind of local seafood you want to sample - and head home to cook up a deliciously fresh meal. And don't forget to pick up a stick of rock too – this is the seaside after all.
