Leading Lights

The Space
Tucked away in the vibrant centre of Whitby, Leading Lights is a superb character property where boutique charm meets timeless elegance. A perfect base for families or groups of friends, this beautifully styled home combines contemporary comfort with original features, creating a warm and welcoming space you'll love returning to after a day by the sea.

Step inside to discover rich wood-panelled walls, echoing Whitby’s maritime heritage and lending a sense of historic luxury to the inviting living and dining area. With two comfortable sofas and armchairs arranged around a decorative fireplace and flat-screen TV, it’s the ideal spot to unwind after exploring the cobbled streets below.

The modern kitchen is fully equipped for everything from hearty breakfasts to seafood suppers, while upstairs, three elegant bedrooms promise a restful night’s sleep.

A luxurious freestanding bath in the adjacent bathroom invites you to soak and relax in true indulgent style.

Wander the historic harbour, sample fresh fish and chips, or climb the iconic 199 steps to the Abbey ruins that inspired Dracula. With festivals, quirky shops, and sweeping sands all year round, Whitby is a destination full of charm and character – and Leading Lights is your perfect place to enjoy it all.
