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. Just a stumble from the 199 Steps and a short walk to Whitby's best bits. Fancy a pint? 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.
