Mariner's House;The Observatory


Once the grand Georgian home of one of Whitby's fishing fleet captains, this handsome stone built mansion has recently been converted into luxuriously appointed apartments. Designed to a very high specification and boasting smart, contemporary interiors, they still retain the elegance of their past heritage. Enjoying an elevated position, which allowed the sea captain to watch for his ships returning to harbour, Mariner's House today offers visitors a peaceful haven above Whitby's ever bustling activity. These lovely apartments, set over three floors with an easy, wide Georgian staircase, lie just 100 yards from Whitby's lively shopping streets and 300 yards from the harbour of this immensely popular seaside town voted England's most attractive in 2006.An absolute delight to explore, Whitby boasts picturesque fishing wharfs and quaint, narrow cobbled streets lined with shops selling beautifully crafted Whitby jet, antiques and books, as well as tea rooms and renowned seafood restaurants and a plethora of excellent fish and chip shops. Attractions to suit all ages and tastes abound one museum commemorates Captain Cook, another the mythical Dracula experience! Fishing trips can be arranged and of course there are all the traditional amusements of the seaside including a lovely sandy beach.This is a glorious location for relaxation in the fresh air Whitby backs onto the North Yorkshire Moors, affording extensive walking for all levels of fitness and cyclists will enjoy the Whitby to Scarborough trail. Eden Camp and the steam railway that crosses the Heartbeat moorlands from Pickering, the charming fishing villages of Robin Hood's Bay and Staithes, and Scarborough with its famous theatre, sealife centre and Kinderland, are among the host of attractions within easy driving distance.
