With great views over Whitby harbour, The Boathouse is a converted pump house which has a narrow bridge linking it to the mainland. Sleeping 2 this offers a romantic getaway in the middle of Whitby's old town harbour and is within walking distance to good bars, cafes and restaurants. The accommodation comprises of 3 levels starting at the bottom with the cellar kitchen with quality solid oak units and all mod cons. You enter the property through the middle floor and here you can find the living dining area with a electric fire leading to a large decked patio with dining furniture overlooking the harbour. This is the perfect place to snuggle up with your loved one after a stroll around Whitby in an evening. The top floor has a bright bedroom with beamed vaulted ceiling and en-suite bathroom with large double ended bath. All these levels are connected by a modern narrow spiral staircase. At high tide you are completely surrounded by water and at low tide you are on the beach, which gives this property a magical feel to it. Locally you can enjoy exploring the quaint little streets of Whitby before heading to the gothic ruins of Whitby Abbey, said to be the inspiration. There is NO WIFI or TV in the bedroom
Chloe and Stewart are happy to help at any time during your stay. We want our guests to enjoy a stress free holiday in a beautiful property. Please can we advise our guests that we can not get WIFI in this property so please be aware of this before booking.
Close to all amenities. Perfect for a romantic night away. Set on the beach.
