Reviewers frequently highlight the spotless condition of the apartment, with many describing it as one of the cleanest they've stayed in. The consistent emphasis on cleanliness across reviews justifies a near-perfect score.
The location is generally well-regarded due to its proximity to the Cinder Track and Whitby town, with the convenience of a parking space. Some guests note it's a bit of a walk, occasionally uphill, but still find it manageable and pleasant.

Only things we would have liked was somewhere to hang towels in bathroom, and an oven glove. There was also no recycling facility at the flats although I understand this is a result of past abuses - and nowhere locally to recycle. However will definitely return.

It was like a show home. Not too far from town either, especially with the cut-through we found. We had a lovely stay.

The parking and location are great. The only downside for us (which is obviously an individual thing) is that we found the mattresses and the sofa really uncomfortable.
