  This was our second stay at the Penthouse (we previously stayed for 3 nights at the beginning of August this year for my son's Birthday).

  The penthouse is very comfortable and well equipped and we once again very much enjoyed our stay. The only feedback we would offer (the first part being a repeat of our previous feedback) is: 1. The curtains in the property are very basic and those above the two sets of patio doors in the lounge are both hard to reach and of a very cheap material - the apartment would be so much improved if the curtain rails could be upgraded to allow much easier operation and also if the curtain material could be either lined or replaced with thicker material, the light reduction would be much better (which is especially important in the lighter summer months). 2. The second minor niggle this time was that one of the two single beds was fitted with a lightweight summer duvet (the other single bed and the king size in the master bedroom appeared to have thicker, more weather appropriate duvets) - it would have been good to have a warm duvet on both single beds, as it was quite chilly at night (in October). We also (as per our August feedback) found the pillows a little soft and the mattress on one of the single beds a little uncomfortable but it was manageable. The apartment is beautifully situated for easy access to the North Beach and nearby cafes - its worth mentioning that we did note quite a bit of noise from the road at night time as it seems the neighbouring car park and nearby roads are used by local boy racers - there was a noticeable amount of engine revving and squealing tyres in the evening, which was slightly intrusive but tolerable - not sure where the local constabulary were when this was happening as its obviously a regular occurrence :). None of this detracted from our overall enjoyment but some tweaks to the curtains and the bedding would make a difference.

  Amazing views and beautiful apartment.

  The views from this property cannot be overstated; the Abbey framed perfectly in the balcony door, the town rooftops, the whole of the bay, wonderful sunsets, watching the tide come in and out. Sitting on the balcony watching the world go by and listening to the sea. The apartment was large, clean and comfortable, well equipped kitchen, comfy beds, fluffy towels. Clean bathrooms. Great spot as near to town but not in the thick of it. The owners send a very handy guide to the flat (where things are, how appliances etc work, the local area) to you digitally which was a great touch and very handy. There is a lift which is handy for bringing everything in when you first arrive. Otherwise the stately old hotel stairs are easy to go up and down if you have no mobility problems. If you don't know Whitby, the cliffs down to the beach are STEEP; there is a cliff lift but not working when we were there. I think my legs are still tired! The beach is clean, lifeguarded and the sea very clear and calm. Dogs are allowed on certain parts only. High tide comes right in so keep an eye on the tide times. Whitby is absolutely charming and incredibly pretty. However, I have never stayed anywhere in the UK as packed and busy as it was over a sunny, summer holiday weekend. Luckily the flat is away from the hustle and bustle. I recommend walking round early in the morning to get a real feel for it before the crowds arrive. If I visit Whitby again, I would absolutely rent this flat.

  A quiet and beautifully spotless apartment with everything we needed.

  Well kitted out kitchen, I cooked breakfast and evening meals in here. (An oven glove would be a welcome addition though although everything else was provided ) Comfy furnishings and enough space for 2 adults and 2 children (10 and 13) Sun-Fri. A welcoming folder with tourist info, walks etc and tea, coffee, milk and biscuits were much appreciated. A lot of care and thought into this property is evident. Recycling rubbish cannot be done at this property but as the owner explained, this is due to people not bothering to separate their waste so the council have taken away the service. It is very central with a short walk into Whitby with nearby access to bus stops. We didn’t use the car at all once there but very pleased to find accommodation with its own parking space. Would 100% recommend this property it was everything we wanted and more for our half term break. Thank you!

  This is the second time in the past two months that we have stayed at this accommodation as we loved it so much the first time we decided to come back.

  The first time we found the property to be extremely clean and tidy and the beds were comfy. We loved everything about it. Unfortunately the second time we came I found the cleanliness was shocking and it really spoilt our stay. 1) The en suite bathroom toilet had dried yellow urine on the seat and obviously had not been cleaned. 2) The fridge hadn't been cleaned with food debris in the bottom. 3) One of the sinks in the bathroom hadn't been cleaned, there was a film of dirt over it 4) The Juliet glass balcony was covered in greasy fingerprints. 5) The cushions on the settee were shabby and there was a hole in the settee but I understand fully that this is simply wear and tear and these things cannot be changed everytime. We were so disappointed about the cleanliness this time given the first time it was so beautifully clean.

  The penthouse was absolutely superb and stunning.

  Very impressed by the cleanliness, furnishings and decor. The beds were more comfortable than the ones in my own home. There’s even a seaview from the kitchen window and a view over some of Peasholm Park from the living room window. The terrace/balcony, at the back of the property, is protected from any wind meaning you can enjoy the sun fully. Secure for any dog too. I would recommend that the property could be improved by installing a DVD player, more coat hangers, a second TV (in one of the bedrooms) and more fridge/freezer space as there’s loads of cupboard space and hardly any space for chilled items for a 4 person property. Finally, black out blinds or curtains would be much appreciated. At 5am (June) the sun was streaming in the back (twin) bedroom. Overall, an amazing stay and would highly recommend. Many thanks
