The apartment is well-equipped and offers convenient facilities like secure parking and WiFi. However, there are some concerns about lift reliability and parking space tightness.

This apartment is the perfect base, with views across the marina. This is an ideal spot for nature lovers, with herons, seals and even a kingfisher, all residents of the riverbank.

For young families there is a small play area on site, or at high tide you can even go crabbing along the riverbank. The town is immensely proud of its seafaring heritage, with legends of Vikings, smugglers, and heroic lifeboat rescues. You can savour the freshly caught fish and seafood in a selection of award-winning restaurants.
You will be spoilt for choice with the upmarket harbour-front dining, of lobster or mussels, as well as the local favourite - battered cod or haddock with chips. You can also hop on board a boat out of the harbour, for a day trip bouncing over the waves of the bracing North Sea. Take in the fresh sea air with a walk down the pier, watch the sunset and see what inspires so many photographers, artists and writers. There’s something about Whitby that fills your soul - the views, the atmosphere, the history and the heritage.

We have visited Whitby and surrounding areas over the last 20 or so years and can honestly say Vale head apartment is one of the best places we’ve stayed in. Ideally situated for going into the centre of Whitby, not too far from the Abbey and situated right in the banks of the river Esk. The apartment itself is clean, comfortable and well equipped with safe gated parking for one car. Will be booking again for our 3rd stay next year and can’t wait!
