Heron's Landing in Whitby is highly praised for its cleanliness, modern comforts, and thoughtful touches like a welcome tray. The central location is ideal for exploring the town, and secure parking adds convenience. While mostly well-equipped, a few minor suggestions for improvement were noted.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests consistently describe the apartment as spotless and beautifully clean, indicating a very high standard of cleanliness.

The property's central position is frequently mentioned as perfect for strolling into town and exploring the area, suggesting an excellent location.

The apartment is repeatedly noted as comfortable and tastefully furnished. However, a suggestion for lighter duvets indicates a slight room for improvement in comfort.

Facilities are generally praised, especially the secure parking and lift. Criticisms include a lack of certain kitchen items and issues with hot water availability, hence the score reflects some areas for maintenance.

Guests appreciate the welcome tray and thoughtful extras, although it should be noted that such gifts, while delightful, are not guaranteed with every stay.

When it comes to planning your holiday itinerary, there’s so much to do in the heart of Whitby; browse a wealth of independent shops, head to the shores of Whitby Beach for a paddle in the sea, climb the mighty 199 steps to Whitby Abbey and take a guided tour at the Dracula Experience.

    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.

    Nice to have a decent sized TV with Netflix etc.
