The place was really clean and the beds were comfy. There were hair driers and all the things youd expect in the kitchen.

Theres a lot of steps up to the property and as someone who is 63 the eaves made life a bit harder than I thought, well worth it for the amazing views over Whitby though!

Abby View is the best holiday accommodation we have stayed in over the years, the attention to detail is so nice. It has everything you could possible need or want during a vacation. Just lovely, top marks, 10 out of 10.

Wonderful apartment in great location in Whitby. We werent blessed with good weather but we were more than happy to hide from the rain in cosy and well equipped Abbey Lookout. Loved the overall feel of the apartment and all the lovely decorations - great view from the windows too - we were definitely fitter at the end of the week too! ( great viewRead mores come with many stairs). Would definitely stay in Abbey lookout again if visiting Whitby. Hide

This property really was home from home and worth every penny. Spotlessly clean and so much attention to detail with seaside themed decor throughout.

Lovely apartment - better and more spacious than the pictures! Worth noting there are a lot of stairs, helpful to burn the fish and chips off. Really well equipped for families with lots of books and board games, comfortable beds and a well stocked kitchen. Overall a great stay in a great central location.

What a gem of a property. As much as we would like to keep this a place a secret all to ourselves it would be doing the owners a huge disservice. Strangely the pictures on the website don't truly represent how spacious and well appointed this flat really is. It is exceptionally clean and well appointed with a fantastic kitchen with full under countRead moreer fridge and separate freezer as well as a washer/dryer and a dishwasher as well. The bathroom is fantastic with a good size bath and huge walk in shower. The master bedroom is very large with a massive bed and amazing window overlooking the Abbey. There is no wardrobe as such but there is plenty of drawer space and there is a clothes rail that is large enough to hang up plenty of clothes. The double room is well spaced and equipped as well. The living room has a convenient cloakroom to one side of the entrance which is plenty big enough for several suitcases, shoes and coats. The livingroom itself has another wonderfully large window looking over towards the Abbey. Plenty of comfy seats to enjoy the view or watch tv. The dining table is a good size as well. Loads of board games for all ages and a very detailed welcome pack to go with a generous arrival hamper of local buiscuits, cake and tea. The outside seating area is plenty big enough to store bodyboards and dry wetsuits etc and has another good size table and 4 chairs (No abbey view though from the outside area, but that cant be helped). All in all this apartment is very difficult to better in Whitby for what it offers. We are very much looking forward to returning again. Hide
