Kitchen was well equipped and the oven worked well. Bathroom was modern with great shower. Good position for walking into Whitby centre or to the west cliff approx 10 mins both ways. The welcome pack of wine, milk and delicious biscuits was a lovely treat to receive. The only downside to our stay was the grounds need some maintenance as very overgrown and untidy and the seating & table provided in the garden area was a poor standard, also the mattress and pillows on the bed require an upgrade , comfortable enough but poor standard. We loved our stay and will recommend and return regardless of the disappointment of the above comments on garden and bedding.

Irritated by lack of kitchen roll, tinfoil and no spare rubbish bags.

It was clean and comfortable, with everything we needed for our stay. Whitby is within walking distance, so we didn't have to worry about parking. I would recommend this apartment and probably consider a return visit.
