Finest Retreats | 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.

Nice comfortable apartment
We spent a very enjoyable few days in Oystercatcher. The property is faultless, extremely clean and very well appointed with everything that you could possibly need. It is set in a quiet area the only downside is that there isn't a view but that wasn't a problem for us. The bed was extremely comfortable and the flat nice and warm. All in all it met and probably exceeded our expectations.

Oystercatcher, Whitby is perfect for a couple.
We loved everything about the apartment and the location is perfect. We spent 2 weeks there and it really felt like home to us - so far from our Australian home!! Whitby has so much to do and the regatta was an added bonus! Have sent the link for Oystercatcher Apartment to our friends!

Great Location
Perfect for us as we were meeting friends in town. Location is fab. Decorated beautifully and had everything we needed. Couple of pointers that owners might not know about - there are no bulbs in the wall lights, the fire light doesn't work and the bed was a bit firm and lumpy (but that might just be me ;))

Fabulous Property
Wonderful property, centrally located in Whitby. The Property was exactly as advertised and the owners had provided a welcome pack which was lovely, as our visit fell during the two hottest days of the year they had also kindly provided a fan which was most welcome. Would definitely stay here again.
