Two double bedroom flat with fantastic roof terrace overlooking Swing Brid

From the roof terrace look down on the crowds and venture out for an evening stroll along Church Street to the famous Abbey steps, or down to Tate Sands, below the Abbey, where Dracula's ship was wrecked. When the bell rings go out with a drink to watch the bridge opening and the yachts going out to sea and the fisherman returning with their catch in the evening. If there's a better spot in Whitby to watch the world go by I've yet to find it and I've been visiting for over 50 years!
A light spacious flat with art work on the walls and a cosy dining/ living room. Sorry but not suitable for dogs, and as there are two flights of stairs into the flat unfortunately unsuitable for those with mobility problems. Young children will need supervision on the roof terrace. PLEASE NOTE AFTER TWO FIRES ON THE DECKING NO BBQ'S ARE PERMITTED !
You can see the view of the Swing Bridge from the roof terrace here:

Whitby trip

Stayed for 3 nights in May. Managed to park for free on arrival,bonus! Felt a little uncomfortable in the small entrance alley,it seemed quite dirty.The stairs up to the apartment door were cracked and the light was on a sensor which didnt come on until i was on the second step. After unlocking the apartment door the stairs leading up were a disappointing first impression, they were covered with a plastic protector which was dirty and torn.Once in the apartment it was comfy and well equipped if a little tired in places. Carpet needed a clean and some painting was needed. Beds were clean with nice linen. Roof terrace was impressive view wise.There was an upturned table and a storage box with no front on which was littered with a broken chair and various broken and mouldy bits of fishing equipment which spoiled the area. I didnt use the kitchen but it seemed really well equipped. There was a mix up with my booking,the property was double booked. John rang and because i was quite flexible with dates i was able to go later than planned. The stairs andand

You have got to stay here - little gem of a place!

John's apartment Swingbridge Lookout is an absolute must for a stay in the beautiful Whitby! Superb location enabling you to explore what Whitby has to offer and a chance to be immersed in this wonderful character of this bustling seaside town. The apartment itself is fantastic, super spacious, full of character, homely and very well equipped for those that enjoy the self catering style of break. I thoroughly enjoyed the various artwork and quirky Dracula ornaments positioned around the place! The roof terrace is most definitely the jewel in the crown for this place! Easily accessible from the living room area and a wonderful place to enjoy a morning cuppa or evening glass of wine watching the comings and goings over the Swingbridge and beyond. You really do get a 'bird's eye view' from here and can even see the steam trains pulling in and out of the station. I'd also like to point out how comfortable the beds are here and that is normally a problem for me in most places that we stay in. There was nothing nicer that waking up and popping your head through one of the skylight windows to see what the weather was doing or to see the lovely St Mary's Church up at the Abbey headland. I can assure you that you will not want to leave this fab place and can't recommend a stay here highly enough :-)

Lovely base to explore Whitby

Perfect location, comfortable beds and furniture. Should make it clearer that no BBQs allowed on terrace before booking, or remove the pic of someone bbq'ing from images to avoid any misconceptions

Location, location, location

This rental is all about location. It is in the heart of the town with a great roof terrace overlooking the town and estuary. Be aware there are 34 steps to the apartment (another 14 to the master bedroom) a bit onerous when unloading but worth it when you get there! However, parking is a nightmare!! It took 1 3/4 hours to find a space on arrival and we never did find a space in the ‘free’ road side parking. Hence we had to feed the meter every morning £9 a day! That was outside school holidays.

Meet up with friends

We went to Whitby to meet some friends. Having stopped in this wonderful flat before it was the obvious place to stay this time. Two of our sons joined us and wished they’d been before and asked when we can come back. They also decided our stay should be much longer. It truly is a wonderful place and we all can’t wait to visit again.

I think it is insulting to present the place as a two bedroom flat and in one put a futon bed instead of a proper size bed. I had to sleep in one of the bunk beds.

On a sunny day, there isn’t a better place than the roof terrace to watch the world go by! A great location to explore the beauty of Whitby. Quirky apartment with everything you need 😊 (apart from towels… you need to take your own and I missed that in the booking confirmation!)

Third visit to this great little property……

As with previous visits, the flat was spotlessly clean and tidy. Lovely crisp bed linen and the sofa bed in the twin room is pretty comfortable. We know that the location is perfect for us with everything right on your doorstep and that check in and unloading is super easy. Car parking in Church Street long stay was busy but we got a space and if we hadn’t, there was plenty of space in the long stay opposite the co-op which is only a short walk. The addition of the Wi-Fi is an added bonus. Didn’t use TV/DVD but there is a great selection of Dracula films to enjoy if you fancy an evening in. Plenty of pots and pans etc …..and whilst we didn’t need it, a washing machine too. It’s a real home from home! We love the roof terrace and the view it affords over the town and there are two super comfy chairs in the indoor cupboard but some chairs to go with the dining table would be nice and perhaps a power wash. The little seagull baby who has taken up residence made a right mess of the cupboard on the decking every night too!!
