Lynne
Lovely welcome pack which was very much appreciated. Apartment was beautiful and being able to wave at the trains was amazing. Had a very restful and enjoyable week. Whitby has some great history and the open top tour bus was cool. Would recommend this as a place to stay in Whitby. Thank you.
