If you have ever thought about staying at a renovated ancient church or chapel, you have the opportunity to enjoy just that at the dreamy, stylish Whitby Chapel. It offers luxurious lifestyle, total elegance and supreme comfort, all with a dash of relaxed rural.

The chapel is a fabulous example of what is possible when contemporary design meets period elegance. There are so many fabulous nods to building’s past such as the church pew in the entrance, arched doorways, the original church organ and fabulous arched chapel windows. Whitby Chapel was once the centre of the village community. It is absolutely fascinating to imagine the chapel as it was compared the luxury haven it is today.
The open plan living and dining room features gorgeous tan leather sofas facing the golden draped windows, the original church organ where one of your group might enjoy tickling the ivories, a welcome modern log burner and chandeliers casting a soft, dappled light. Complimentary chocolates can be found on the repurposed alter table.

There is more to Whitby than meets the eye with its fascinating history! It is famous for its connections to Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Captain Cook. It boasts a Gothic culture with quirky narrow cobbled streets, independent shops and the majestic ruins of Whitby Abbey overlooking the town. The Captain James Cook memorial sits on West Cliff where he is looking out to sea and the Captain Cook Memorial Museum teaches you about his fascinating life and time in Whitby.
Whitby is hilly, pretty and good for a bit of exercise! There are 199 steps up to the abbey and St Mary’s Church. Whitby offers an excellent range of restaurants including the famous Magpie Cafe. The Magpie Cafe is quirky with numerous levels and offers many seafood dishes as well as the traditional fish and chips. You must go! There are the usual seaside attractions with the classic seaside fun of crabbing, sandcastle building, walks along the pier and plenty of amusement arcades. Just along from the main town and harbour you will find the lovely sandy beaches of Sandsend and Runswick Bay. Sandsend was originally two villages, Sandsend and East Row. There is a delightful cafe overlooking the beach.
Six miles south of Whitby, you will find the picturesque old fishing village of Robin Hood’s Bay. It is beautiful with a sandy beach, rock pools, ancient fossils, narrow, twisting, cobbled streets and lots of alleyways. You can easily imagine the fishermen and smugglers walking the streets hundreds of years ago. It is quite easy to get lost in the little warren of lanes lined with old fisherman’s cottages, most of which have now been renovated. The village is bustling with a good range of cafes, pubs and restaurants. Get your cameras ready for this little gem!
Staithes is also very attractive. Clinging to the hillside and boasting pretty winding, cobbled streets, 18th century cottages and characterful pubs, it is an absolute delight. This fabulous coastal village was once one the largest fishing ports in the North East but now it is a wonderful hillside gem perfect for exploring Yorkshire’s cliff top paths and the rock pools on the small sandy beach.
There are many stunning coastal and country walks, cycle paths and 800km of bridleways close to Whitby. You will be delighted with the peaceful, tranquil countryside of the North York Moors National Park.
