Guests say

White Horses is a well-received apartment in Whitby, consistently praised for its cleanliness, stunning views, and cosy, comfortable atmosphere. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches, including games and welcome packs, and the property's convenient location. While parking can be challenging and some guests suggest upgrades, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many looking forward to returning.

The apartment receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning its spotless condition and excellent maintenance. One isolated comment about a coffee machine issue suggests room for minor improvement.

The location is highly praised for its proximity to central Whitby and its fantastic sea and Abbey views. The hilly terrain may be challenging for some, but it does not detract significantly from the overall positive reception.

Guests find the apartment cosy and comfortable, with several noting the property's warm and homely feel. Comfortable beds and cosy blankets are mentioned, although a recurring suggestion for a shower upgrade indicates a slight deduction in the score.

The facilities are generally well-regarded, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and thoughtful additions like games and dog bowls. However, comments about the need for a shower upgrade and an issue with the extractor fan indicate that some maintenance is required.

The apartment's thoughtfulness is evident in the provision of welcome packs, games, and other amenities. While these are appreciated, it is politely noted that such gifts, while delightful, are subject to change and not guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

Resting centrally in Whitby, North Yorkshire, is this converted Victorian apartment, White Horses. Located on the second floor, elevated views of the town are on offer, along with a well-located base, within proximity to local shops, eateries, attractions, the beach, and the North York Moors National Park, combining convenience and character for a family of four. Head upstairs, reaching your own private apartment door, before relaxing in the open-plan living space, with high ceilings, an ornamental fireplace, plush seating, and large bay windows with stunning views across the rooftops to Whitby Abbey, St Mary's Church, the marina, and the white horses of the sea beyond the harbour walls. Under the archway, you will find a lovely kitchen and dining area with a wooden table, and state-of-the-art fixtures, where you can prepare and enjoy meals as a group. The first bedroom of White Horses hosts full sized single bunkbeds intertwined with a touch of the seaside for a peaceful effect throughout, whilst the double bedroom breathes nothing less than elegance, well-matched and tied together by seaside features, flowing curtains and a glimpse of scenery. The apartment is complete with a spacious bathroom, perfect for refreshing in after a day of adventure. On your doorstep you’ll have plenty to see and do as a family, from dining out at The Marine Bar & Restaurant, or grabbing some British staples at Magpie Café, to touring Whitby Abbey, relaxing upon the beachfront, climbing the 199 steps for the best vantage point, or touring the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, full of history-rich artefacts and stories. Scarborough is a must-visit town to add to your itinerary, dotted with seaside attractions to entertain the entire family, including Scarborough Castle, SEA LIFE Scarborough, the stunning Italian Gardens, Alpamare UK waterpark, and Scarborough Open Air Theatre, hosting year-round events. Conclude your adventure by exploring the national park and its abundance of hot spots, including Mallyan Spout Waterfall, Hole of Horcum, and The Old Coastguard Station, offering the best of both the coast and country. Gather your loved ones with White Horses as your base.

At the mouth of the River Esk in North Yorkshire's Scarborough region sits the seaside town and port of Whitby. The area is perfectly positioned for visiting this stunning region of Yorkshire, and it offers a wide range of activities so you can make the most of both the countryside and the seaside. There is something for everyone in this area, from the adjacent North York Moors to its Blue Flag beaches. Among its many attractions, Whitby has a beautiful ambience with meandering streets and obscure alleys that are home to a variety of restaurants and businesses. Visit the charming harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun go down or go whale watching or on a coastal cruise to see the wildlife up close. To immerse yourself in history, ascend the 199 steps to Whitby Abbey or go to the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, which features a historical and anthropological display about Cook himself.

    Everything is perfect. Comfortable, clean, great location, well equipped, inviting, but most of all a spectacular view of Whitby. Lovely holiday with my two year old grandson who loved watching the castle ( Whitby Abbey) change colours in the evening. Recharged our batteries ready for winter.

  • Tracy

    Internally the property is exceptionally well maintained and the bay window view of the abbey will live long in the memory. Central location, comfortable bed and lack of noise make it a winner. It would have been nice to have a welcome pack of more than a pint of milk and a packet of biscuits, but we had a restorative break. 85/100.

  • Dawn

    Contains everything you might need for a comfortable holiday. Spotless, spacious and a distant view of the sea as a bonus!
