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.

Delightful, comfortable, just right

The location is close to the center of the village but not right in the bustle. The accommodation is spacious and beautifully equipped. We loved it!

The flat is in a great location, close to the sea and town.

Considering its very close to the main area it is very peaceful after a long day out exploring. Flat was clean and very well equipped. Love the treats, much appreciated.

Cosy cottage

Very good communication from booking to leaving. The apartment was clean and well equipped. Some little welcoming extras like milk, coffee, tea and biscuits. Very quiet yet close to the centre of Whitby.

Excellent place in an excellent seaside town

Everything about the Oystercatcher was first class. From the moment we arrived it was brilliant. It was among the cleanest places we have ever stayed and the facilities we excellent. Nothing TBH. We will definitely stay at the Oystercatcher again when we visit Whitby as the whole holiday was a fantastic experience.

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!

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.

Flat was in a good location for exploring Whitby.

It was exceptionally clean and well presented, well equipped with everything you'd need when staying somewhere for a few nights and the added extras (sweets, fresh milk in the fridge, snacks etc) were a lovely kind gesture. Parking was an issue on our first night - the car park along the road was full. Managed to get parked about a 10 minute walk away from the flat.

Oystercatcher

When you book any place you take a little gamble that it might not meet expectations but this place is the opposite. It’s well furnished, great condition and possibly the most well equipped self catering accommodation we have ever been in. From sharp knives to pans and dishes in every size, baking trays … everything. The place was spotless and the linens immaculately presented. It may only take a couple but has so much space. It might be in a block behind the sea front hotels but that’s not a difficulty. It’s so quiet, away from traffic and the main visitor walkways. That said, it’s so convenient for the shops, cafes, bars and restaurants of Flowergate and Skinner Street plus the main town areas. Can’t recommend it high enough.

Comfy, clean and convenient.

The apartment is conveniently positioned for access into Whitby. Comfortable, clean, quiet and with pretty much everything needed for a pleasant stay. Silver St carpark is a very short distance away. Constructive comment… the communal stairway is ready for a “lick of paint” and carpet clean.

Property was easy to find and in a good location within walking distance to everything in Whitby but

The mattress is quite hard but personal preference, my partner thought it was really uncomfy but I Ioved it. It was really clean and the added little extras like milk and biscuits was such a lovely treat when we arrived after a 3 hour drive, great value for money and we would definitely stay here again!

I absolutely loved my stay at Oystercatcher.

The apartment is so cosy and welcoming and Mel went above and beyond: from helping me upon arrival, to the tasty treats left for guests to enjoy, as well as being so accommodating around my arrival and departure times. The property has everything you need, is homely, beautifully decorated and maintained, and is brilliantly located. It was so quiet and comfortable. I fell in love with Whitby and would love to stay at Oystercatcher again in the future.
