The location was perfect for going into Whitby town. Also great location for visiting the are. The appartment had everything we needed and a very nice welcome tray which was a lovely touch.
Tanya
Just one small criticism, the water in the shower ran cold rather too quick for our liking making consecutive showers impossible unless the second person wanted a cold one. We couldn't fathom out the on and off peak switches as they seemed to be on a timer making plentiful hot water only available very early each morning. Otherwise perfect.
Andrew
Nice to have a decent sized TV with Netflix etc.
