Welcome to Swingbridge View, a charming apartment nestled within a Grade II listed building on Sandgate, right in the heart of Whitby. This delightful first-floor accommodation offers stunning views from the lounge windows, showcasing the River Esk harbour, the iconic swingbridge, and the picturesque West Cliff. Don’t just take our word for it; explore the dozens of 5-star reviews from our delighted guests!

The two-bedroom apartment, featuring one double and one twin room, comfortably sleeps four and is furnished to a high standard with quality appliances and top-notch furnishings. Available year-round, the apartment is equipped with central heating in all rooms to ensure your comfort. Amenities include a full-size electric cooker, a 42-inch TV with Satellite Freeview, a DVD player, and complimentary WiFi. All gas and electricity are included, and we even provide binoculars so you can fully appreciate the amazing views from the lounge!

Situated right in the centre of Whitby, Swingbridge View offers the perfect base to explore all that this historic town has to offer. Step out the front door and find yourself immersed in the charm of the old town on the East Cliff, where you’ll discover delightful shops selling everything from traditional Whitby rock to the renowned Whitby Jet jewellery. Challenge yourself to climb the 199 steps to the famous Abbey, or simply enjoy the scenic streets.

A short walk across the swingbridge leads you to the bustling West Cliff area, teeming with shops, restaurants, seaside amusements, boat rides, and some of the best fish and chip shops in England. Just around the corner on Church Street, you’ll find ‘The Humble Pie,’ a tiny gem where you can savour delicious pie and peas, though securing a table might be tricky!

People often ask, Which is the best fish and chip shop The world-famous ‘Magpie’ across the harbour is always a favourite, but Hadley’s across the road and the ‘Quayside’ near the fortune teller are equally delightful options.

For more adventure, stroll along Haggersgate to Pier Road, past the amusement arcades and the fascinating RNLI museum. Here, you can choose to walk up the Khyber Pass to the ‘Whale’s Jawbone’ for stunning views of Whitby or continue to the west harbour wall and lighthouse. Whitby beach awaits, with its summer lifeguard service, donkey rides, and charming beach huts. Just beware of the cheeky chip-stealing seagulls!

Don’t miss the Dracula Experience, the Captain Cook Museum, and the thrilling Robin Hood’s Bay Ghost Walk. Whitby offers fishing trips, fossil hunting, the Whitby Museum at Pannet Park, golfing, and even rock climbing. Visit Tate Sands below the Abbey, where Dracula’s ship was famously wrecked in Bram Stoker’s tale.

As the day winds down, sit by the lounge window with a drink and watch the bridge open for yachts heading out to sea and fishermen returning with their catch. Whitby truly has something for everyone. To help you get started, we’ve provided a selection of leaflets on the desk in the hallway.

Come and experience the magic of Whitby from Swingbridge View. We look forward to welcoming you!

Best wishes,

Mark & Hazel

    Quick and easy communication with Mark who answered all my concerns and queries quickly and thoroughly. The apartment was immaculate, beautifully decorated and in a fantastic location. The view of the water and the town from the living room is beautiful at any time of day, one of our highlights. Lovely to enjoy after a day sightseeing. We loved it and will be recommending it to friends and family.

    Absolutely one of the best properties we've ever stayed. The hosts provided us a welcome gift (thanks!) and an apartment which was incredible to stay for three nights. We had to communicate once during our stay for a small, unexpected repair needed and they were right on it. Their maintenance person was in and out of the apartment (while we were there) in 5 minutes. We couldn't think of anything which needed improvement. Thank you for such a wonderful place to stay !

    Another fantastic stay in a fabulous apartment!We've just returned from another wonderful long weekend in Mark's beautiful apartment – it really is a true home from home. Everything was just as perfect as always, and we’re already counting down the days until our return in February. It’s become such a special place for us that we’re even talking about 2027 already!This time, we finally managed to get a table at Velveteen, which was a real treat, and our evenings were filled with a few too many cocktails at Cafe Montmartre – fast becoming our favourite bar! Sunday lunch at Sneaton Castle was absolutely delicious too.We’ve added a couple more DVDs to the growing collection – there’s nothing better than a cosy Sunday evening with a cheesy rom-com, a glass of wine, and the twinkling lights in the background.Another brilliant stay, and we’re already looking forward to the next one. Thanks again, Mark – your place really is a gem.

    Not sure how many times we have stayed here now but it’s absolutely our property of choice. Perfect location (love the views from the lounge) and the accommodation is so well maintained - spotlessly clean and everything you need. Super comfy beds too! We already have two more trips booked and hoping to get in for a further two next year!

    The apartment is in a perfect location in the old town, looking directly over the swing bridge. The standard of fittings and furnishings is excellent and the rooms a great size. Check in/out was simple and we managed to get a parking space in church Street, a two minute walk. If you're a light sleeper I'd recommend earplugs as there is some traffic noise in the main bedroom due to the central location.

    Could not fault the apartment at all. Spotlessly clean....much more spacious than we had anticipated. Very well equipped and furnished to a high standard. Could be put off by the alleyway entrance.....but once inside.....10/10.
