Enjoying a fabulous location within the North York Moors National Park and just moments away from the beach, Above & Beyond is a superb choice for couples or a family of four. Take the stairs or lift to your new abode, where you will find a well-equipped kitchen for conjuring up tasty dishes, ready to enjoy at the dining table for four, or out on the balcony with a backdrop of far-reaching views out to the moors. After dinner, kick-back and relax on the plush sofas as you select a much-loved film on the Smart TV as the evening’s entertainment. Continue through to the bathroom, where you can indulge in a soothing soak, before retiring to one of two beautifully decorated bedrooms, one kingsize with TV and en-suite shower room, and a twim room. Explore the town, where you will find a plethora of eateries, including Trenchers and The Blitz, well-stocked convenience stores, a gorgeous beach with surf school and fishing pier, the renowned 199 Steps offering panoramic views, the Gothic Whitby Abbey, Whitby Pavilion, and Whale Watching boat trips promising a truly memorable day out. Continue your coastal adventure at Robin Hood's Bay, where you can visit the National Trust site of The Old Coastguard Station, spend a day at the beach or tour the Robin Hood's Bay Museum. Further afield, you will find Scarborough, home to a remarkable castle, an open-air theatre, the Rotunda Museum, Alpamare and Luna Park, and the Sea Life Centre.

Whitby, a coastal town and port in the Scarborough region of North Yorkshire, is at the estuary of the River Esk. You'll be in a prime location to enjoy the finest of the area's countryside and coastline thanks to the many exciting attractions around. Blue Flag beaches and the North York Moors aren't the only attractions, though; the area has plenty to offer visitors at any time of year. Whitby's beautiful ambience is only one of its many appealing features; the town's twisting alleyways and secret alleys are home to a broad variety of restaurants and stores. Visit the harbour and lighthouse for a beautiful sunset, or go whale watching or on a coastal cruise to get up close to these majestic creatures. For a dose of history, go up Whitby's infamous 199 stairs to the abbey, or check out the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, which features a historical and ethnographic display all about Cook. Whitby has something for everyone, from a plethora of recreational amenities to chances to explore the great outdoors to an abundance of seaside treats. Whitby is well situated for experiencing everything that Yorkshire has to offer, since it is close to the Robin Hood's Bay, which is home to many historical sites and picturesque areas, and also not far from the lively cities of Scarborough and Middlesbrough.

The secure parking is a bonus, in somewhere like Whitby, where there is not a lot of parking. We did not use our car whilst we were there but walked and used the open top bus on one day.

A real home-from-home, everything we needed was there. Lovely, comfortable seating and beds, plenty of storage, great views and location. Above and Beyond was everything we'd hoped for - booked again before we left.
