Forget about relaxing your style standards for comfort on holiday. This home in central Whitby feels like a cosy family home, but ten times more stylish. Newly built and impeccably finished, it’s been decorated with pops of yellow and vibrant artwork throughout, which adds an extra level of visual flair. Don’t worry though, this isn’t a style over substance situation. You’ve also got cloud-like king beds, slick en-suite bathrooms and a kitchen-dining room that has enough whistles and gadgets for a TV chef’s test kitchen. Knock up a lazy brunch in the modern kitchen – equipped with a double oven – and gather around the sociable breakfast bar for a convivial meal. Through to the living room, you’ll find puzzles and games under the coffee table, plus plenty of comfy seating for the odd rainy day inside. But of course, most days will be spent down soaking up the British sunshine along the seafront, with its two-mile beach, amusements, golf, museums and seaside pubs, there's just about everything needed for the quintessential coastal getaway. Walk to Whitby Beach and its historical ruined Abbey in under twenty minutes. When – weary from exploring, tired and covered in sand – you do return to your cosy digs, you'll feel all warm and hygge in no time.
