Mariner's Watch, Whitby

Mariner's Watch sits at the top of Whitby's famous Donkey Track, right below the Abbey. This three-storey stunner offers the best panoramic views in Whitby - you can see the bay, beach, sea and town from practically every window. Want to feel like the king of the castle? This is your spot. The house stands out so much that people look up from all over town and spot it.

The location is unbeatable. The nearest pub is 0.1 miles away. Need to work off those fish and chips? The beach is 2.5 miles of sandy goodness. Warning: accessing the property means tackling the cobbled Donkey Track - your calves will hate you but your Instagram will thank you. The views make every step worth it.

This luxury pad sleeps 10 people across 5 bedrooms. There's one double with an en-suite shower, another double and three twin rooms. You'll find three bathrooms in total - the main with bath and walk-in shower, plus a ground floor shower room. The sitting room features a cosy woodburning stove and there's a sun room for those rare northern sunshine moments.

Whitby offers tons to explore. Visit Whitby Abbey (5 minutes' walk) where Dracula found inspiration. Explore Captain Cook Museum (15 minutes' walk) to discover maritime history. Enjoy fresh seafood at the harbour (10 minutes' walk) or take a boat trip along the coast. Robin Hood's Bay is just 5.5 miles away (15 minute drive).

Mariner's Watch is perfect for family celebrations or friend getaways. Soak in the hot tub with a glass of wine while enjoying those killer views. Just remember - what goes down must come up those steep steps. Worth every huff and puff.
