    Beautiful apartment, excellent location; literally a 5 minute walk into the centre of town. Spotlessly clean and equipped with possibly everything you could need. Excellent communication from the host also :)

    I liked the coziness and comfort of the apartment; it was spacious and I appreciated the themed decor. The kitchen was well stocked and I thought it was so lovely that the host provided some milk in the fridge for us. Also, the place was extremely...

    Great location and walkable to everything Whitby has to offer. Very comfortable and welcoming accommodation. Managed to park easily enough just a 5-minute walk up the road. Would definitely stay here again on another occasion.

    How cozy it was. It is close enough to the centre of Whitby but far enough away to avoid all of the noise

    We loved how great the facilities were, and how cosy it was! Incredible shower, and a gorgeous coffee table! We were incredibly grateful that we were allowed to come in early to be able to dump our bags since we were already in Whitby and moving...

    Great location, only a couple of minutes walk to the harbour with all shops/pubs on doorstep. Apartment itself was really comfy. Although we always ate out the kitchen had everything you needed. Comfy bed and fabulous shower.

    It was such an amazing littoral place to find and can’t express enough how much we fell in love with it, was spotlessly clean and the host had left personal touches like milk in the fridge etc to make you feel truly welcome. Will definitely book...

Flat 5, Sleepy Hollow, is a one bedroom, penthouse apartment, situated on the third floor of a lovely corner terraced property, opposite Pannett Park and only 200m from the town centre. It boasts magnificent views of Pannett Park and Whitby Abbey. It’s a beautiful place from which to watch the world go by or have a short stroll into Whitby Town centre. It is just far enough out of town to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of Pannett Park, but close enough that you can be in the centre of town in less than five minutes. The apartment has a flat screen television with Freesat channels, a well-equipped kitchen, with a fridge and a washing machine and the bathroom has a bath with an overhead shower. The apartment can be booked in conjunction with Bunny Burrow, a one-bedroom, ground floor apartment within the same building for two couples who wish to book together. Unfortunately, there are no parking facilities however, parking scratch cards are provided enabling you to park in the designated on street W parking zones. Please note this apartment is on the third floor and as such, may not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues.
My name is Pete and I have been visiting Whitby, with my partner, for almost 20 years and because we love Whitby so much, we wanted to share it with others by offering our accommodation to them.
Whitby has a plethora of delights and facilities available to visitors and locals alike and Sleepy Hollow is ideal for accessing these. The town is on its doorstep and the Bus and Train Stations are three hundred metres into the town centre, with the North York Moors Railway only a ticket away. The Harbour and Beach are only four to five hundred metres away and there is easy access to both Sandsend and to Robin Hoods Bay, via the Cinder Track, one hundred metres out of town.
