About this property

Oystercatcher

Oystercatcher is a fantastically furnished first floor single bedroom apartment located in the charming East Yorkshire town of Whitby. The coastal town provides the perfect place for guests in all seasons.

The apartment is furnished to the highest standard throughout, being both comfortable and stylish with modern and homely fixtures and fittings.

The open plan kitchen, dining and living area with bay window is spacious and bright and is fully equipped for all self-catering stays, with a fridge, oven, hob, toaster, kettle, microwave and coffee machine. The lounge has a smart TV and fast fibre WiFi is available throughout. With tall ceilings and light flooding in the from the large window, it is a sunny and welcoming space. There is a nautical theme to the decor and the fireplace provides a great focal point for the room as well as offering plenty of heat for cosy winter nights in.

The comfy king-sized bed boasts premium bedding and linen so you can really enjoy your sleep during your stay, while the characterful fireplace adds some charm to the room. There is plenty of storage and hanging space.

Oystercatcher Apartment is located one street back from Whitby’s bars and restaurants in one direction and the famous Whitby Whalebone Arch in the other making it a quiet but yet perfectly placed property to experience the local area.

Whitby is an ancient port with a ruined abbey, which was the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s gothic novel ‘Dracula’ while the port is still a working fishing harbour. It also has sandy beaches, donkey rides and rock pools, not to mention some of the best fish and chips in the world. Its narrow medieval streets are dotted with boutiques, shops, pubs and fish restaurants.

The cobbled Church Street takes you to the foot of the famous 199 steps leading from the town to St Mary’s Church and the Abbey Headland and Visitor Centre. The Whalebone Arch and bronze statue commemorating Whitby’s most famous explorer, Captain James Cook, stand proudly on the West Cliff, facing directly across the harbour to the Abbey.

Whitby forms part of the North York Moors National Park and is the perfect location for keen walkers. The Moors are a special place, where history and nature have combined to give us an amazingly vibrant landscape with woodland and moorland, rich in heritage and wildlife.

While staying in Whitby a visit to the coastal town of Robin Hood’s Bay is recommended, a picturesque old fishing village on the Heritage Coast of the North York Moors with narrow, twisting cobbled streets and alleyways.

Great place to stay in Whitby

Great place to stay in Whitby. Easy walkable location to the main town centre. We parked our car in a nearby public carpark which worked well. Flat was a great size and felt very homely. Would definitely stay again.

Comfy, clean and convenient.

The apartment is conveniently positioned for access into Whitby. Comfortable, clean, quiet and with pretty much everything needed for a pleasant stay. Silver St carpark is a very short distance away. Constructive comment… the communal stairway is ready for a “lick of paint” and carpet clean.

We absolutely loved staying in Mel’s home!

It was beautiful and so peaceful! We couldn’t have asked for anything more after where we usually stay has been sold! We will definitely be looking to come back when we return to Whitby next year. Thank you so much

Delightful, comfortable, just right

The location is close to the center of the village but not right in the bustle. The accommodation is spacious and beautifully equipped. We loved it!

The flat is in a great location, close to the sea and town.

Considering its very close to the main area it is very peaceful after a long day out exploring. Flat was clean and very well equipped. Love the treats, much appreciated.

Cosy cottage

Very good communication from booking to leaving. The apartment was clean and well equipped. Some little welcoming extras like milk, coffee, tea and biscuits. Very quiet yet close to the centre of Whitby.

I absolutely loved my stay at Oystercatcher.

The apartment is so cosy and welcoming and Mel went above and beyond: from helping me upon arrival, to the tasty treats left for guests to enjoy, as well as being so accommodating around my arrival and departure times. The property has everything you need, is homely, beautifully decorated and maintained, and is brilliantly located. It was so quiet and comfortable. I fell in love with Whitby and would love to stay at Oystercatcher again in the future.
