From the friendly housekeepers to start our visit, to the quality of the property and the added railway feature outside, we had a fantastic stay. Some nice touches with the Christmas tree and welcome pack. Much appreciated. Parking and easy access to town a big plus for Whitby. Looking forward to staying again.

Lovely welcome pack which was very much appreciated. Apartment was beautiful and being able to wave at the trains was amazing. Had a very restful and enjoyable week. Whitby has some great history and the open top tour bus was cool. Would recommend this as a place to stay in Whitby. Thank you.
