Sheila
Really comfortable & had everything we needed. On a busy road but you canât really hear it from the inside. We tended to keep the blinds & curtains closed most of the time for more privacy as people staying in other apartments can see in. Handy for the town, approx a 20 minute walk, then we used local buses most of the time.

Well positioned, only 10 minute walk into Whitby but uphill coming back so could be a problem for the less mobile. Lovely garden to rear of property with plenty of seating. Milk biscuits and wine were very much appreciated. Parking can be awkward but plenty of space on the road. Would not hesitate to recommend this property and would stay there again if visiting the area.
