Situated at the heart of the coastal town of Whitby, North Yorkshire, lies this delightful, terraced holiday home, Navigators Rest. Set over four floors, this charming property is perfect for families, and has a wealth of on-site amenities, whilst boasting fantastic positioning to nearby shops, restaurants, along with the lush sands of Whitby Beach. Inside, be sure to cook up a storm with your loved ones in the amply-equipped kitchen/diner, where meals can be enjoyed around the sizeable dinner table, before you head upstairs to the well-appointed sitting room, complete with plush sofas and a stylish Smart TV. As the evening grows darker, retreat to one of two well-presented bedrooms, including a second-floor double room that offers stunning views of Whitby Harbour. If you fancy exploring the seaside town, you'll find a plethora of attractions to visit, including Whitby Abbey, Whitby Museum, the scenic viewpoint of the 199 Steps, and the family-friendly Dracula Experience. Head east along the coast to Robin Hood's Bay, where you can spend time roaming the ground of the National Trust location of The Old Coastguard Station, before venturing slightly further to the stunning spot of Hayburn Wyke waterfall. Scarborough is also accessible by car, a resort town home to the eponymous Scarborough Castle, the picturesque Peasholm Park, as well as the SEA LIFE Scarborough aquarium. To the west, you can find the market town of Pickering, where visitors can hop on board the North Yorkshire Moors Railway before heading for a fun-filled day out at the nearby Flamingo Land Resort theme park.

At the mouth of the River Esk in North Yorkshire's Scarborough region sits the seaside town and port of Whitby. The area is perfectly positioned for visiting this stunning region of Yorkshire, and it offers a wide range of activities so you can make the most of both the countryside and the seaside. There is something for everyone in this area, from the adjacent North York Moors to its Blue Flag beaches. Among its many attractions, Whitby has a beautiful ambience with meandering streets and obscure alleys that are home to a variety of restaurants and businesses. Visit the charming harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun go down, or go whale watching or on a coastal cruise to see the wildlife up close. To immerse yourself in history, ascend the 199 steps to Whitby Abbey or go to the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, which features a historical and anthropological display about Cook himself.
