A 2 bedroom apartment very close to the sea front.

Mary Lyth is our holiday home, sleeping 4. It has all amenities and, unusually for the sea front at historic Whitby, has parking right outside. As well as the sea, it is close to a beautiful National Park, with heather moorland, waterfalls woods and wildlife. Whether your interest is walking, shopping, exploring old streets, enjoying fish and seafood cafes or local pubs and tearooms, history, searching for fossils, sport, boat trips, interesting festivals, there is much to do here and in nearby villages. It is just over an hour from York by bus or train, and York is 2 hours from London.

About Our Family

Our 2 children left home 5 years ago, since when we have been offering hospitality to students from abroad, We have hosted more than 60 students from more than 20 different countries during this time, so we feel we have a worldwide family!
We love the birds and ducks that come into our little garden.
We are now retired.

Lifestyle

We were regular house exchangers when we had our family, but when our children became older teenagers, we had a break from exchanging houses for 10 years. Now that we are semi retired, we have many hobbies, as well as enjoying hosting foreign visitors and home exchange is very much back on the agenda. We know our own area very well and can show people the hidden York and Yorkshire that the guidebooks don't reveal, and make it fun. This information would always be available to those who exchanged with us as we'd leave lots of suggestions. We try to find many and varied things for them to do, cultural visits, sports and activities, festivals, steam rallies, fetes and local shows.  York is also well placed to visit the major cities in Britain and we have on occasions taken our visitors on guided day trips to football stadiums, the capital cities, the Moors and coast.
For ourselves, we enjoy walks, badminton, cricket, meeting friends, dancing, playing games and doing puzzles and quizzes, When on holiday we like to go to the places local people go to, the markets, fiestas, music events as well as seeing the most famous nearby attractions. We love short walks and generally exploring.
