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:

The flat was absolutely brilliant, the area it’s in was brilliant for our stay, unloading the car was easy the rooms where bright and very clean and it had everything you could possible need for a short stay.The stairs going up to the flat are quite brutal ( I’ve got a bad knee ) but it was outweighed by the veranda over looking the estuary.Will definitely be staying again and cannot recommend enough Mr Barrett

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.

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 :-)

Perfect flat at any time of year

We've just enjoyed our third stay at this flat. It is just so relaxing and comfortable yet Whitby is on the doorstep - it's fabulous. It's so easy to pop in and out in between seeing the sights, which are all close by, or sit on the terrace for the best of both worlds. Great.

The location was perfect and the roof terrace was great. The photographs don’t do it justice. It has two large double rooms and everything you need. It’s quirky and full of character. Hopefully, we’ll visit again soon.
