The apartment is in a wonderful quiet area which has lovely views of Whitby. It is close to the old town and to a great pub called The Endeavour, which had live entertainment on all weekend. The beds are extremely comfortable, and the bedding sift and luxurious as are are the fluffy white towels. When we stayed the weather was extremely cold but Read morethe heating in the apartment kept us lovely and warm during our 3 night stay. Hide

Ideal location, quiet yet only 8 minute walk to swing bridge in the centre of Whitby. Bed was very comfortable. The parking place is a real bonus and near to the entrance door. Lift to apartment was very handy too. Would book again.

This is an amazingly clean and well equipped flat in a quiet location but easily walkable into Whitby town centre. The furnishings and bedding are of a very good quality and the carpets are immaculate. Having a parking space outside the front door is great especially with the prices of car parks in the town. The instructions for arrival were cleaRead morer and concise. We would certainly stay there again if we return to the area. Hide
