As the night draws in, retire to two beautifully appointed bedrooms; a double with en-suite shower room and a smaller double, both featuring a set of drawers to store your personal belongings. Whitby is steeped in history and there is an abundance of sightseeing opportunities that visitors can enjoy. Why not take a hike up to the ruins of Whitby Abbey, admire the view and wonder in its history, or take a guided tour of the iconic Whalebone Arch? Follow in the footsteps of Captain Cook, explore the old fishing harbour, visit the swing bridge, stroll along the pier, take a shopping trip to the cobbled streets of Church Street, and indulge in a traditional fish and chips. Also within reach is the charming village of Robin Hood's Bay, where visitors can discover its hidden coves, walk the local trails or just take in the quaint atmosphere. For a vibrant day out, take a trip to the seaside town of Scarborough which offers an abundance of activities, from the historic Scarborough Castle, Peasholm Park to the Scarborough Open Air Theatre, plus a range of attractions and eateries. 4 Boulby Bank Top is the perfect accommodation for a break away to Whitby and its surrounding area.

Take a trip to the picturesque harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun set or get involved in some whale watching or a coastal cruise to watch the creatures up close.

However if you do not have mobility issues it's well placed, easy to get into town and is a nice place with good amenities. The master bedroom bed is too hard for my liking but that's obviously personal preference. Everything was clean and everything worked. There were some stones on the mantle piece so we added one from our collection.

Very clean and the Crockery and Cutlery were immaculate. Ideally situated for the Town Centre although the steep incline to The Harbour could be a problem for some Guests..The only downside was The Parking .Our Car is not very high off the ground so I did not chance the steep incline to the allocated Parking space . I did however find a Parking space on The Ropery about 100 yards away which was fine. All in all a great Property and good location.

We would love to stay there again if it was in a lower position in Whitby. This is due to us having poor mobility
