Views better than expected. Easy walk into town. Well equipped kitchen large fridge/freezer very useful. I did leave a note advising of a couple of things not working (probably a blown fuse) Would happily stay here again.

The apartment has everything you might expect, it's a real home from home with most creature comforts to hand and is very well equipped. Being on the top floor of The Union Mill building it has great views across the Whitby rooftops to the Abbey and the sea beyond. We didn't get to use the balcony as the weather was quite cool and blustery during our stay, though we could imagine sitting out there on a warm summers evening. Two real benefits of Sunset View are having a lift to whisk you up to the apartment after a good day exploring Whitby and having an allocated parking space on site. Overall a big thumbs up!
