As first time visitors to Whitby the apartment was super easy to find. It sits within a lovely quiet residential area and only a short 10 mins walk into Whitby itself. The apartment enjoys it's own parking bay right outside the apartment block. The apartment It on the second floor but accessible by lift for those that might find the stairs a challeRead morenge. The apartment itself is lovely, clean, comfortable, and spacious and enjoys a lovely view from the living room. There is literally nothing not to like about the apartment, it is perfect for a holiday in Whitby. Coffee and bagels at the nearby Mr Cooper's also highly recommended. Hide

Only suggestions: At least one loo roll to start the week off would have been good... lucky I'd taken some. Also as some other person suggested a hand rail in the shower for us oldies. We had problems with the key safe both getting in and leaving. Seemed very stiff and difficult. Maybe it was us!

Beautiful, clean and very comfortable - especially the bed in the main bedroom. The free parking is a boon. Its a very relaxing place and close to the town with great river views, a real quiet and happy haven. A short flat walk into the town and a qreat view of the steam trains coming in and out. Will book again and recommend to friends

Enviably situated with lovely views of the river and town beyond, the lift to the second floor flat was great for our poor old legs! Well presented and beautifully clean, with comfy beds and 'snuggly' duvets, the private parking space was a real benefit.
