Beautifully designed, Freshwater View is a stylish holiday apartment located within a new build development in the dock area in Whitby. Aptly named, this two-bedroom ground floor property has incredible views of the River Esk so you can enjoy your morning coffee watching the boats docked in the water. Just a short walk from the town centre, you’ll be perfectly placed to enjoy the popular Whitby attractions whilst staying in a quiet area.
The Space
Freshwater View is a stylish apartment boasting an open plan kitchen, living and dining area, two bedrooms and a family bathroom. Sleeping up to four guests, it is perfect for family staycations by the sea or coastal getaways with friends.
The open plan living space includes matching sofas and a flat screen TV so it’s ideal for unwinding with your loved ones during your stay. Whether you’re ordering in a takeaway or tucking into a home cooked meal, you can gather the family together and enjoy meals in the dining area which includes a round table and four chairs. Also sharing this space is the kitchen which is fully equipped with modern appliances and cookware.
Both bedrooms in the apartment have comfortable super king beds with crisp linens and plush bedding to ensure you have the best sleep possible. Pops of colour are added with the mustard and royal blue soft furnishings to give a really luxe finish. Both super king beds can be split into two singles if this would be more suitable for your stay.
Modern and clean, the family bathroom features a bath with an overhead shower, WC and basin.
Neighborhood
Freshwater View sits along the River Esk in the dock area.
Walk along Church Street and you’ll wind up at the East bank where you’ll find narrow medieval streets dotted with boutiques, pubs and fish restaurants. Climb the famous 199 steps up to the Church of Saint Mary. You can also discover the renowned ruined Whitby Abbey, which was the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s gothic novel ‘Dracula’.
Walk over the swing bridge which sits over the River Esk and you’ll find yourself at the West side of town. It’s here you can discover cosy pubs, fun arcades and even more fish restaurants! Continue along the lively road until you reach the beautiful, blue flag West Cliff Beach which is lined with idyllic beach huts.
Step outside of Whitby and you’ll uncover a haven of woodland and moorland. Whitby forms part of the North York Moors National Park so it’s the perfect place for long walks.
Getting Around
The centre of Whitby is a short ten-minute walk from Freshwater View.
Whitby train station is less than half a mile away so villages and towns along the North Yorkshire coast can easily be reached via rail. There’s also a taxi rank in close proximity to the train station.
There are plenty of bus routes throughout Whitby. Hop on the X4 and you can visit beautiful coastal villages like Sandsend, Runswick Bay and Staithes. The X93 travels along the coast to Scarborough. The 95 route features plenty of quaint villages, such as Grosmont and Lealholm.
Guests have access to the full apartment. The keys to the property are accessed via a secure key safe and full details will be provided shortly before your arrival date.
There is one designated parking space for Freshwater View at the property.

Clean, modern apartment with everything you need for a short break. Great to be able to park the car at the property and walk into Whitby (approx 10 mins) rather than having to try and find that elusive (aka impossible) parking space in town!
28/10/2024
We had a great weekend, felt like a real home from home. Everything you could possibly need for a cosy night in while being close enough to walk to the town. <br/>Extremely clean and tidy. Would happily stay again.
26/10/2024
The apartment was lovely upto date and modern, with everything you could possibly need.<br/>Clean beds<br/>View out the window was lovely ? <br/>Great walking distance to whitby<br/><br/>Nothing
21/10/2024
Absolutely lovely apartment, really well situated and spotlessly clean. Received check in details first thing in the morning and a useful guide to everything in the apartment. Overlooks the harbour so nice view from the living room window, designated parking space and hardly used the car because everything was in walking distance. Can't fault the place or the hosts. Would definitely book again if coming to Whitby.
10/10/2024
The apartment was in a very quiet block and had a designated car park spot. It was a 10/15 min flat walk to the centre of Whitby, exactly as described. The apartment was very nice, lovely fixtures and fittings and very clean. <br/>Instructions of how to gain access were clear and a very good guide book online and in the apartment. <br/>I would without doubt recommend this apartment and would be happy to stay there again.
01/10/2024
The apartment was spotlessly clean well looked after very well equipped cosy and warm<br/><br/>There was nothing there I didn't like such a lovely place

Big bedrooms and comfy beds<br/><br/>Felt a little cold. Could have been cosier

Lovely apartment. Very quiet and only a 5 or 10 minute walk to the centre of Whitby. Allocated parking spot. Would recommend and would stay here again.
28/08/2024
Gute Lage, einfach zu finden, super Parkplatz, unkomplizierte Schlüsselübergabe, das Apartment mit viel Platz, gemütlich und schick eingerichtet, alles da was man braucht<br/><br/>War alles gut, Haken im Bad und Handtuchhalter wären super
28/08/2024
Very pleasant stay here, it was both quiet and relaxing.<br/>Apartment was spacious and comfortable and well equipped (except it could have done with a tea towel!)<br/>The shower wasn’t great but not the owners fault, it was just because it was an electric shower. <br/>Parking space ideally located right outside the main door and no issues with availability.<br/>Location was ideally placed for a 10 minute stroll into the centre of Whitby.<br/>Would recommend and stay here again if back in Whitby
12/08/2024
Had a fabulous stay in a beautiful apartment, loved it.
09/08/2024
We had a great few days here in Whitby. The apartment is great, has everything you need and some lovely little touches. Location is amazing with plenty to see from the window, wildlife, trains, rowers, boats and of course seagulls! Short walk into the town and local chippy is amazing.
25/07/2024
The place was great, very spacious and fresh feeling. Rooms all spotlessly clean and comfortable. Easy 15 minute walk into town with a toddler in tow, pleasant walking along the harbour. Located in a quiet residential area with nice views of the river, we would stay again.
20/07/2024
Couldn’t fault a thing in the apartment :)<br/><br/>Nothing we didn’t like, extra set of keys would have been perfect, only when we left the mother in law in the apartment she couldn’t get out of we took the key, and if we left the key we would have to wake her.
08/07/2024
The apartment was so stylish and spacious. Everything you needed and more. Everything in good working order and comfortable beds too. <br/>The area was close enough to walk into Whitby and felt safe in the area.<br/><br/>Such beautiful views of the river just a shame not to able to sit outside. <br/>£25 damage deposit with only £15 refundable <br/>Which don’t really understand why all is not refunded
20/06/2024
This apartment was spacious, comfortable, very clean and well equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The area is peaceful with nice views over the river and the town and seafront is only about 15 minutes walk away, perhaps less for younger people! We spent 3 relaxing days here and would definitely come again. A couple of points to mention is the fridge,which froze everything in it even after turning it down, and a hand rail in the bath/shower for the less able would be good addition.
06/06/2024
Bright and spacious.everything you need for few days stay. Surrounding area nice and quiet.having a designated parking area was a premium.good size beds.lovely decor.<br/><br/>Shower not very powerful but OK for few days.sofas quite low.

No breakfast in this stay<br/><br/>The heater in the bedroom overlooking the ESK did not work correctly, we bought a heater to warm the bedroom <br/>The black out blind in the same bedroom was not working fully it kept jamming
23/04/2024
Everything was exceptional with the apartment.<br/><br/>Maybe a little too far from the town, especially anyone with any kind of walking disability.
07/04/2024
Excellent location <br/>Everything you could need in the apartment <br/>Clean <br/>Lovely views<br/><br/>Nothing!

Well maintained and presented property, comfortable super king beds and nice bathroom. Shower was adequate.<br/>Kitchen compact but very useable, all the necessary equipment and dining table adjacent was handy and comfortable.<br/>Lounge was comfortable with lovely view across the river.<br/>Overall great location, easy parking in a reserved space.<br/>Quiet location with no noisy neighbours, easy 15 minute walk into town centre, loads of eateries of varying prices and standards, would recommend very highly.<br/>Only confusion came on checkout, e mail the night before said noon, whereas every other communication said 10am, called host and stay the managing agency and although I knew I was speaking to a call handler at Airbnb in USA she maintained she was working at host and stay in Uk. Airbnb don’t pretend please, be honest with your clients.
16/03/2024
Super location with a parking space, easy to walk into town. Views of the estuary and boats, and even the trains. Apartment clean and modern with everything you need for a great break. Super comfy beds<br/><br/>The venitcan blind in the bedroom was damaged, and the shower wasn't a consistent temperature (bit annoying)
11/03/2024
beautiful apartment, perfect location
01/03/2024
It was perfect apart from the confusion on the last days with departure time which had us rushing to leave when we thought we had plenty of time. Text arrived at 9.02 contradicting the departure time in the guidebook and email.
06/01/2024
A lovely stay in a very nice apartment.
27/12/2023
Everything was perfect<br/><br/>Heater in bathroom wasnt sufficient to heat the room
21/11/2023
Lovely apartment. Clean and a lot larger than what we thought it would be. Ideally located, 10 minute stroll to the centre. Free parking.<br/><br/>Nothing to dislike.
09/11/2023
Easy from time of booking and great communication and instructions. On arrival we found the apartment to be spotless and everything we needed was supplied. The view out on the harbour was a wonderful extra. Quiet area and having a parking space made things a lot easier and cheaper during our stay. <br/>A folder giving a few tips about the local area was supplied and really helpful in choosing local restaurants and cafes. <br/>Overall a fantastic stay and wonderful accommodation we could not fault- Thank you!!
01/11/2023
Very comfortable, spacious apartment. We'll furnished and equipped with everything you might need. Quiet location with river view. Communication was clear and accurate<br/><br/>Everything was great, only the weather could have improved our stay.

Nice decor, great location. Free parking. Great facilities.<br/><br/>There was an odd smell in and around the bathroom. Like a weird drain/fishy smell.
05/05/2023
Fantastic stay, spotless apartment, within easy walking distance to the beach, shops and restaurants.<br/>Fantastic views from the apartment.<br/>Would definitely recommend staying here.
27/04/2023
The apartment was really well appointed, very spacious and in excellent condition. <br/>The location was great and well situated for exploring Whitby and the surrounding area.<br/><br/>The 4pm check in time is a bit late coupled with the early check out time of 10pm. A 12pm check out time is stated in the property guide book. <br/>The heating in the living area could do with some instructions, I set it more by trial and error. <br/>The shower is a bit under powered.
21/04/2023
From the start of the booking process until we left I received about twenty emails from host and stay! Most of them repeating something I’d received by email previously. I found this irritating and slightly stressful. The property was lovely but the booking process did not work well for me.

Lovely place to stay for a few days at Easter. Really easy to walk into Whitby town centre where there was lots of restaurants & pubs & visiting nearby places like Runswick Bay & kettleness was easy. Overall had a great stay
07/04/2023
Fantastic apartment in a great location within easy walking distance of Whitby town, shops, pubs, beach and sights. The apartment was easy to find and parking was directly outside. Once inside it was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, exactly as described. We would definitely recommend.
05/04/2023
Spacious rooms, lovely river views, very well equipped (thumbs up), comfortable large beds and close to the town. Property seemed secure and check in/out was easy. Plenty of information was given about the property prior to our stay. The television had plenty of choice, wifi was good and all worked well. Property was a good temperature for us all.<br/><br/>The property was clean overall, but not as clean as I would expect, although I have high expectations. Ran out of hot water on the third night of our stay. I phoned the 'host and stay' number for some guidance and left a message. No response?? 3 days later and still nothing.. Had to boil the kettle a few times and wait for the boost function in order to have enough water, this goes against the guidance of 'hot water will be available twice per day'. Shame we didn't even get a call back the following day.
02/04/2023
Fantastic location. Beautiful property and well designed. Everything you might need has been thought about and catered for. Would highly recommend ?

Great location and place to stay for a short break. Walking distance to town so no need for car unless you are exploring surrounding area. The host was on hand to make sure we had everything we needed - thank you. We are really keen to return :)
24/10/2022
A wonderful property situated within easy walking distance of the centre of Whitby. Just over 10 minutes walk alongside the estuary to reach the swing bridge. In the evening we would recommend stopping off at The Middle Earth Tavern for a drink - half way along your walk in!<br/>Apartment is tastefully furnished, very well equipped and spacious with the added benefit of a parking space.<br/>Owners were helpful in splitiing one of the King Size doubles into two singles - perfect to accommodate family of 4.<br/>Beautiful views along the estuary from the lounge and master bedroom windows. We even saw the steam train pass once each day.<br/>Restaurant recommendations- The Star Inn and Trenchers.
22/10/2022
The apartment was exactly as pictured! Parking and check in were both really easy. The location was lovely and just a short walk from Whitby’s centre as described around 10 minutes to the main bars and restaurants. The bed was extremely comfy! We would definitely recommend this apartment and stop here again ourselves.
20/10/2022
Really nice place, walking distance to all the attractions.
26/09/2022
Very clean, nicely decorated, with everything you need imaginable. <br/><br/>Lovely views out the window, 2 year old loved watching the boats and train go by. <br/><br/>Spacious, cosy, home from home.<br/><br/>Was lovely to have a big bed, with plenty of pillows however the bed was very hard so I struggled to sleep and left with hip pain, i actually also had an allergy to something, possibly the wash powder the bedding and towels were washed in which is a first for me. So not sure i realise these things are personal to me but other than this it was perfect. <br/><br/>There was also a little noise from the apartment above with hearing people walk about which can be expected in an apartment so didnt bother us too much<br/><br/>Spacious, nicely decorated, everything you need, great location and views out the window.
19/09/2022
Excellent acommodation i would highly recommend to anybody wanting to be on or around Whitby ..great views of the town. Town less than 10 min walk nearest pub and chippy 5 mins ...really clean and comfortable stay with large beds too ..

31/07/2022
Lovely accommodation, the bedrooms are a great size with ample wardrobe space. Great living space too with a wonderfully stocked kitchen in terms of cutlery and plates etc - perfect for self catering especially with children. <br/>Only a 5-10 minute walk into Whitby and lovely views of the estuary and the steam train across which comes and goes and is lovely to watch/listen out for. <br/>Would highly recommend!

Freshwater View was immaculate and extremely well appointed with very good attention to detail. Well equipped kitchen with more than enough crockery and glasses. The bed and sofas were comfortable.The location very good - a pleasant walk to the centre of town. Parking was a bonus and the block was very quiet. Wonderful sunsets from the living room window.<br/><br/>I had no problems. Not a fan of multiple cushions on beds but hardly a problem.
05/06/2022
Beautiful place - very clean, comfortable and cosy and fantastic location, lovely walk into centre. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

29/04/2022
Perfect! Beautifully decorated apartment with lovely views of the River Esk. We come to Whitby every year and this is one of the best places we have stayed at. Equipped with everything you need to cook in if you wanted too. Really comfortable beds and only about 15 minutes walk to the main shops and restaurants. Would recommend this to everyone!
21/04/2022
What a beautiful apartment! We had everything we could possibly need, all of the extra touches didn’t go a miss and was truly appreciated. The location was stunning and a short walk into Whitby, we had a jam packed three days with so much to do in the area all within driving distance. If your looking for an amazing Italian restaurant we came across Moutreys restaurant in Whitby and what a treat that was!
14/04/2022
Fabulous accommodation, very clean, very spacious beautifully decorated and in a great location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay , wouldn’t hesitate to go again.
05/04/2022

This place is highly recommended! Location- quiet, overlooking harbour and not too far from town, easy to locate and accessible. Rooms and spaces- Clean, nicely decorated, well lighted, has everything you need during your stay, child friendly has cot, high chair and kids utensils<br/>Price- value for money
08/03/2022
Location to the town and quiet residential area. The standard of the accommodation was very high, clean and well thought out.<br/><br/>This whole SUPERHOG registration process was a complete and utter pain, it didn’t recognise the photo on either my driving licence or passport and the contract was borderline scary.. I’d go as far as to say I won’t book any other accommodation ever again if I have to resubmit all the nonsense with Superhog again, it clearly doesn’t work. If it wasn’t for Lilly doing manual registration for us at the 11th hour then I don’t know what we’d have done. As previously mentioned we can’t fault the accommodation but you’ve lost us as a future customer because of Superhog verification process, it’s just too hard and temperamental.
18/02/2022
Everything! It was absolutely lovely I every single way.<br/><br/>There’s was nothing I didn’t like about the property
15/02/2022
Location was very good. Spacious very clean apartment. Would recommend.<br/><br/>The shower wasn't great.

The block of flats is very noisy and the flat is on the ground floor, bedroom window overlooking the busy car park. You can hear other persons in the block of flat coming and leaving until quite late in the night as people may have been in the town having drinks, coming back late. I definitely would not recommend to a family or couples. Amenities are very basic, perhaps because it’s newly owned. There was stale food such as bread left in the cupboards so the cleanliness was less than ideal. The company that rents the property (Host and Stay) extremely unhelpful and debit the payments incorrectly from you account, still in query regarding charges now. There are plenty of lovely places to stay in Whitby, this perhaps is not one of them.
23/01/2022
Location was excellent (as we know Whitby, it was easy to work out where we were and make our way to the locations we were visiting. It's a very attractive location and the apartment was very pleasantly decorated.<br/><br/>I have only two criticisms - the extractor fan in the bathroom is very noisy and runs for 20 minutes after the light is switched off - very distracting when trying to get to sleep. The second is that the venetian blinds in the bedroom (although great decor and effective for privacy) do not block out external light. Blackout blinds would be very helpful for most people
16/01/2022
14/01/2022
Gorgeous apartment - less than a 10 minute walk from the Town with the added bonus of free private parking. Lovely and clean and decorated to a high standard. The bed is amazing and huge! (there were 2 bedrooms - we slept in the bigger bedroom)<br/>it was lovely and quiet - however we did hear the train passing around 6am ish which was mentioned in the description and so was fine and expected.<br/>Lots of storage and wardrobe space.<br/>Plenty of info provided on local attractions.<br/>Highly recommended and we would stay again :)

20/08/2021
This is nicely presented apartment which is conveniently located just a short walk from the centre of Whitby. Check in was excellent, very smooth and easy. We had a couple of minor issues with a leaking tap and a dishwasher that stopped working but the host was very responsive and communication was excellent. The leaking tap was rectified very quickly but unfortunately the issue with the dishwasher could not be resolved before we checked out. Not a major issue as we simply hand washed the dishes.

Excellent apartment. Almost faultless. Stayed here with 2 young children. Even found some unopened beach toys in the cupboard for the children. Equipment and facilities at the apartment fantastic. Everything really good quality. The comfiest Airbnb couch ever! Really quiet in the apartments. Hassle free check in. Extremely clean. Location 10min walk from town centre. Quality apartment, best Airbnb we’ve stayed in. Excellent customer service. Will stay here and with you again.
