Guests that stayed at this property said
The apartment consistently receives accolades for its spotless presentation and cleanliness, with numerous guests specifically noting the high standard of hygiene, which is particularly reassuring during these times.
The location is celebrated for its peacefulness, easy access to Whitby centre, and beautiful views of the harbour and river. The convenience of the location is a recurring theme in guest feedback.
Comfort is frequently commended, with guests finding the apartment cosy and well-furnished. However, a few guests mentioned the beds being either too soft or too hard, which slightly impacts the overall comfort score.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the apartment described as well-equipped and maintained. Some minor issues with maintenance are noted, such as a window that wouldn't lock and an ice box door that needed replacement, but these are exceptions in otherwise positive feedback.
Guests often mention the thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, such as a warm personal welcome, homemade scones, and even champagne for a special occasion. While these gestures are highly appreciated, it is noted that such personal touches may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
A splendid third floor apartment, in a modern development overlooking the harbour, close to the town centre of Whitby. Light and airy throughout, this lovely holiday apartment is a wonderful alternative to a Whitby cottage, providing excellent family accommodation, with the added benefit of private parking and lift access to the accommodation itself. The rooms of this Whitby apartment are furnished and decorated in a contemporary style and the spacious open plan living area has superb views over the River Esk and upper harbour. With a well-equipped kitchen and two tasteful bedrooms, this Whitby apartment offers a very comfortable holiday home. Outside, the communal lawned grounds are well-kept and there are riverside walks to enjoy from the complex. An easy walk from your Whitby accommodation brings you to the centre of this atmospheric seaside port, with its long, sandy beaches, cobbled market square and quaint, narrow streets. Climb the 199 steps to the famous abbey or take a bracing cliff-top walk with magnificent views. For the brave at heart, partake in an evening ghost walk, or hire one of the brightly coloured beach huts and just relax. With a wealth of activities in the area, including the steam railway, the pretty market towns of Pickering and Helmsley and coastal villages such as Staithes and Robin Hood's Bay, there is plenty to occupy everyone on your holiday in Whitby. A lovely apartment for an enjoyable break.
Whitby is an historic fishing port at the mouth of the River Esk. There is wonderful coastline to discover, along with the North York Moors. Whitby is a delightful town with winding streets, a scenic harbour, sandy beaches and its famous abbey, reached by 199 steps.

It was ideally situated within easy walking distance of the town and neighbouring countryside. Good bus and train links to this area of Yorkshire. Very well equipped, clean and an attentive host. We highly recommend this property and plan to return next time we are holidaying in that area.

A lift and allocated parking make staying here comfortable. It is very well equipped for self catering with some good quality things to use. It is a short walk along the harbour side into Whitby centre. We were met by the owner, Electra, who is a very welcoming host and made us feel we felt we were staying as her friends. Thoroughly recommend this property and we will be returning.
