Really well appointed, everything you need for a holiday. All the beds are comfortable the linens are spotless and the rest of the apartment is too. It's a really central location with the bonus of secure parking and a lift, which was fantastic for us as we had Mum with us who is 90 and not great on her feet now! A superb apartment which I would definitely go back to, I would just add a shower curtain in the main bathroom as it stops you having to dry the floor every time you have a shower, but that is a tiny thing and won't stop us coming back!!

Great instructions on what to do on arrival. Small walk away from the main attractions in Whitby. Really lovely apartment and with three good sized bedrooms it was great for my family. Lovely touch that there was tea, coffee, milk and biscuits on arrival. Would recommend, couldnât fault it.

Spotlessly clean and well equipped. Short walk to local amenities but might be worth mentioning the very steep hill. A mirror in the single room would be a useful addition.
