Description

Settled within the desirable Whitehall Landing development, on the outskirts of the popular port town of Whitby, rests this delightful ground-floor apartment, Anchors Down.

Idyllically positioned overlooking the tranquil waters of the River Esk whilst enjoying close proximity to a host of amenities, attractions and an on site play area Anchors Down makes the perfect base for a small family or group of friends looking to explore the delights of this sought-after area.

An off-road parking space greets you at the foot of this lovely dwelling, making loading and unloading an easy task, whilst allowing guests the opportunity to journey far and wide to discover more of North Yorkshire.

Stepping inside, be charmed by the fabulous open-plan living space, beautifully-adorned with nautical artwork and thoughtfully laid-out with a snug seating area gathered in front of the Smart TV, providing a lovely spot to settle down and unwind with a steaming cup of tea following a day of adventure.

Discover the well-equipped kitchen tucked away at the rear of the sociable space, fit with a range of fantastic amenities to help prepare delicious meals to be enjoyed at the nearby dining table throughout your staycation.

As the day grows darker, follow the corridor through to the contemporary family bathroom, stylishly tiled throughout and fit with a bath with overhead shower, giving guests the choice to pour in the bubbles and soak their tired feet, or to wash away the day with a quick rinse.

When sleep calls, retire to either of the two well-presented bedrooms, with the choice between a sumptuous king-size with Smart TV or a standard king-size bedroom.

Take advantage of your idyllic location and head outdoors to explore your surroundings with a stroll along the banks of the River Esk towards the harbour; a truly lovely spot to savour fresh fish and chips as you watch the world go by across the tranquil waters.

For a more exhilarating experience, pack up your bucket and spade and head to the glorious sands of Whitby Beach, where you can make a splash with a dip in the waters of the North Sea, tackle the waves and try your hand at surfing with tuition available at Whitby Surf School, or soak in the sun and sand with a stroll along the promenade, adorned with colourful beach huts.

Whilst you're in the area, be sure to climb the iconic 199 Steps to reach the ruins of Whitby Abbey, a former Benedictine monastery dating back to the 11th-century, famed as the inspiration behind Bram Stoker's novel, Dracula.

Lace up your walking boots and embark on a two-footed adventure along the dramatic coastline via the Cleveland Way towards the picture-perfect fishing village of Robin Hood's Bay, where you can immerse yourself in history with a tour of Robin Hood's Bay Museum or The Old Coastguard Station, preserved by the National Trust.

Further south along the coast is the popular resort of Scarborough, where you can make a splash at at the waterpark, Alpamare UK, come face-to-face with a fascinating collection of sea creatures at SEA LIFE Scarborough, or tour your scenic surroundings aboard a heritage locomotive at Scarborough North Bay Railway.

With all of this and more, choose Anchors Down as your base for an unforgettable staycation to North Yorkshire.

Stayed in Whitehall Landings, another Sykes property in June, and thought it was great, so returned.

Good points: location - easy scenic walk into town, parking, access to main roads, spacious apartment, lovely views, clean and warm, wifi and good facilities. Other notes: no teapot, other kitchen items although quality and expensive, a bit unusable (subjective opinion admittedly). Overall would recommend!
