Julie
The couple of niggles we had were swiftly taken care of Jo was very responsive. A couple of comments I would make is that the settee needs to be larger or there needs to be a foot rest like a pouffe. The lamps at the side of the bed were unfortunately not bright enough for me to read by either brighter bulbs required or a lighter coloured shade would be perfect. However the apartment was in a lovely position and having the secure parking was a big bonus.

Well appointed with v comfy bed. Brilliant location with safe private parking, which can be difficult to find in Whitby. Extremely helpful instructions on arrival/departure. Jo was brilliant in sorting early check-in and also when I thought I might need to change dates. Cleaning staff were lovely and friendly. Can thoroughly recommend!
