Neighborhood
Whitby is a charming seaside town on the stunning North Yorkshire coast, famous for its dramatic clifftop abbey ruins, historic harbour, and atmospheric streets that inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Rich in maritime heritage, the town offers visitors a blend of sandy beaches, quaint fishing traditions, and a thriving food scene renowned for its fresh seafood. Whitby's cobbled old town is filled with independent shops, galleries, and tea rooms, while the 199 steps leading up to Whitby Abbey provide breathtaking views over the coastline.

Beyond the town, visitors can explore the wild beauty of the North York Moors National Park, with its rolling heather landscapes, picturesque villages like Goathland and Grosmont, and miles of scenic walking and cycling trails.

Nearby coastal gems such as Robin Hood’s Bay, Sandsend, and Staithes offer their own unique character and charm, perfect for day trips. Whether you're seeking history, outdoor adventure, or a relaxing break by the sea, Whitby and its surrounding area offer an unforgettable experience all year round.

The station offers direct rail services to a range of destinations across Northern England, including Middlesbrough, Thornaby-on-Tees, Stockton-on-Tees, Billingham, Hartlepool, Seaham, Sunderland, Newcastle upon Tyne, Blaydon, Prudhoe, and Hexham.

Whitby is also the eastern terminus of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, where visitors can enjoy a nostalgic journey aboard heritage steam and diesel trains to the historic market town of Pickering, passing through charming countryside villages such as Goathland, Grosmont, and Levisham.

In addition to rail connections, Whitby benefits from a network of bus routes providing services to Guisborough, Leeds, Loftus, Malton, Middlesbrough, Scarborough, and York, making it well connected for both local and regional travel.

Really good location for walking around Whitby but also for travelling around from place to place in the local area. The property was on the ground floor and the bedroom was directly on the front, which meant it was noisy when people walked past and we could never open a window which would have been nice with the summer heat in the evenings, or it would have been nice for the accommodation to have a fan or something. The bedroom blind also needs to change because the light floods in very early due to the blinds not being ideal, every morning at like 3:30 the whole room was full of daylight. The bathroom has a frosted window which is down an alleyway of more accommodation, it has no blind on the window which means regardless of the frosted glass people can see your silhouette which isn’t very comforting when you’re in the shower. When booking the accommodation other guests had asked about parking and the answers suggested that each accommodation would receive a parking pass scratch card for the W zones in Whitby. When we arrived this was not in our property and when I asked about the parking scratch card I was advised we would not get one, which was a bit frustrating.

Nice decor, and enough space. Good shower, bathroom facilities. Kitchen diner area is handy and away from the bedrooms. There are quaint coffee shops and breakfast rooms bars just a few yards away, and we visited Rusty's 2 days running. The two let downs for me are the noise from the apartment above, you can hear everything, and the parking. That said, it's the same at home, so nothing against the other clients in the block, but if you're unlucky enough to be beneath a loud snorer, you want to hope your're a deep sleeper. Parking over the road is reasonable for overnight, only 70p from 6pm-8am. Although it's tricky getting a spot. There are other car parks nearby, but unsure how much they cost.

Had a great stay at Holmwood! It was close walking distance to central Whitby. There’s is a car park just across the street which is reasonably priced to leave the car overnight. Apartment looks exactly as pictured and is lovely and clean.

Overall a pleasant enough stay and close to the seafront. Spacious well equipped apartment. Shower was lovely and big, with a choice of 2 shower heads. Fairly large TV in the living room and we were able to watch Netflix movies in the evenings. Though no terrestrial channels as no external feed. There were 2 main issues on arrival 1) the host was supposed to have provided a scratch card for street parking. After flagging this with the host, it did arrive the next morning, but not before having to pay for street parking. Though they did agree to refund this. Although no sign of the refund or communication since I submitted the receipt 9 days ago when they said they would process it. 2) the washing machine and dish washer were not working. Luckily I noticed that the water intake valves were switched off underneath the sink, so was able to fix this easily myself. The people upstairs were noisy on Saturday night, though fortunately not loud enough from the bedroom to prevent us sleeping.

Lovely AirB&B for 2 people. Very clean with everything required for a great stay. Near to restaurants and pubs. Host gave good instructions, much appreciated. I would certainly stay there again if and when visiting Whitby.
