What our customers say about their holidays

  Stayed here over the Goth weekend and wouldn’t stay again. It’s basic, a place to sleep but not much else. Lack of basic amenities, no toilet paper, no working heating, no WiFi, toilet flush takes many tries to work, hot tap barely worked. And it’s a fair walk to the co-op to get the basic necessities that are provided by most other cottages. Other people in our party stayed in a bigger cottage near the abbey which was cheaper and they provided a welcome basket containing basics like teabags, milk etc. so I’d look elsewhere if you’re staying in Whitby. Place was also not very clean. Black mould in the shower, dirty mirrors and hair all over the floors. Knelt down in the bedroom while unpacking and was covered in what I assume was dog hair. Also if you bring a pet, check under the wardrobe in the bedroom as there’s loads of dog toys stuck under there too. Located on a noisy street which can’t be helped but expect to be woken up by the boat yard opposite at 6am and you will hear every person who walks past through the night as the windows are single glazed. Minus the mould the shower is good though, very powerful. Overall, for the price there’s a lot better places to stay in Whitby so I would look elsewhere.

  Firstly, I would like to say that the apartment is lovely, private, cosy and with a lovely view.

  On the down side there was a shortage of crockery and cutlery in the Apartment which meant that the dishwasher needed to be operated more than once a day. The towels were small and thin, in particular the bath towels which were clearly far too small to be bath towels. However, the parking was a serious concern for us as the location was occupied on arrival by 2 lorry horse boxes for at least half of the week, and by 1 lorry horse box for the rest - one was removed “for 2 or 3 days”. Thus there was no space for manoevering the cars which therefore had to be reversed either in or out of the long drive and onto a potentially dangerous road with a sharp bend nearby. There was no safe parking on the road. We were told on arrival that nothing could be done about the horse boxes. In addition to this, I was obliged to cut short a long afternoon walk as I was asked to return (on foot) and remove my car from the drive to allow exit for a large tractor with a bucket on the front and a large hay spreader on the back. There was a distinct lack of respect for the parking availability which was not prewarned within the description. We felt that we were in the way, The week was considerably spoilt by this experience.

  Well prepared and clean, The Garden Apartment provided a comfortable place for our short break.

  It has everything you would need, is in an excellent location to explore the area and has incredible views. Please be aware that there can be some awareness that guests are staying in the upper floors of the main house and the grounds are shared between the two properties. This close relationship would make it an ideal option for a large family/friends holiday. I noticed that a previous guest had mentioned some space restrictions within the parking area…rest assured that there is ample room, both to manoeuvre and to park. I mentioned to the owner as we were leaving that it would be more welcoming to have the heating on prior to a guest’s arrival as it was cold on ours and therefore took time for the heating to warm the apartment. The owner agreed and had already made arrangements to remedy the issue by ordering a remote heating management system. This will benefit future guests staying during cooler periods of the year. The Garden Apartment would make a lovely home for a holiday, spacious and ideal for 2 people or a couple with young children although it would be quite snug for 4 adults.

  This was a very comfortable flat in a great location overlooking the harbour. It was good to be right in the centre of town, close to pubs, restaurants and all the amenities that Whitby has to offer. Offloading all your stuff is a bit of a pain but parking seems to be an issue for all the accommodation in Whitby. If you don't mind several trips to get your luggage and bits upstairs and downstairs when you arrive and leave, this is a great spot to be. We parked up the car for the duration of our five day stay and walked everywhere. Then took the coastal buses to visit Robin Hood's bay and Staithes. They are cheap and a great way to sightsee together and the bus station is just a couple of minutes from the flat. The views from the flat are great overlooking the harbour, especially at night.

  The property was lovely with amazing views.

  We were in the garden apartment and there was another level above us. There was everything you needed. It was nice and clean. On the negative side the people above kept coming down to the garden so it was not private. Plus you could hear them partying late into the night. If you have mobility problems access could be a problem, to get down the steps was difficult and the gravel path needs more gravel as there was pooling after the rain. The village is beautiful with a pub and a bus stop which has regular buses to Whitby or Middlesbrough. All in all it was a lovely stay and we would definitely visit again.
