Tea, coffee and sugar too! What a lovely touch. Its a well equipped spacious apartment. Everything you need in the kichen and spotlessly clean. Parking for 1 car which was so handy. 5 minute walk down to the main shops and eateries in Whitby. I would definitely stay again. I just wish we had met the owner to thank them. Thank you

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!!
