What our customers say about their holidays

  Our overall impression was that not enough care went into preparing the property for our arrival. The temperature was 10C in the unit when we arrived and it took us quite a while to understand how to operate the central heating. Once we had figured it out, we managed to maintain a comfortable temperature for the rest of our stay, however we really felt that someone could have turned the heat on for our arrival. There were umpteen reminders not to check in before 4pm, but the heat could actually have been programmed to turn on at that time. The property was spotlessly clean except for utensils that had been put away in the cutlery drawer, the bed (we only used one) very comfortable, excellent, even outstanding shower pressure, incredible views, modern appliances, electrical outlets absolutely everywhere, many, many positives. Negatives: It really felt like nobody had bothered to properly check the place before we arrived. There was a pint of milk in the fridge and a packet of biscuits on the counter, a few single-serve packets of instant coffee, packetss of sugar and two teapot-sized tea bags. However, the teapot was found stashed (hidden?) in the back of a cupboard and was missing the lid. I actually spoke to Carol the owner halfway through our week long stay and mentioned this to her, thinking a lid (or new teapot) would be delivered, but none appeared. The kitchen was mostly equipped for 6 people but there were only 5 dinner plates and 5 coffee/tea mugs. I had to rewash the cutlery that had been put away in the cutlery drawer as it wasn't clean at all. There was no washing up liquid for washing anything in the sink and a completely empty bottle of cleaning spray in the cupboard under the kitchen sink. There was a bottle of liquid hand soap in only one of the two bathrooms. The loo rolls were just put on top of the toilet tanks, there were no roll holders/hangers, which we found rather strange. Our suggestion would be to add bedside rugs and televisions in the bedrooms. Also, the only rug in the apartment, found in the living room, would have greatly benefited from having a carpet sweeper in the apartment. Our overall impression was that it is a wonderful apartment but more care should be put into preparing for guests arrival. One packet of biscuits and a pint of milk in a very cold apartment isn't exactly what we would call a "welcome pack".

  What a gem of a property. As much as we would like to keep this a place a secret all to ourselves it would be doing the owners a huge disservice. Strangely the pictures on the website don't truly represent how spacious and well appointed this flat really is. It is exceptionally clean and well appointed with a fantastic kitchen with full under counter fridge and separate freezer as well as a washer/dryer and a dishwasher as well. The bathroom is fantastic with a good size bath and huge walk in shower. The master bedroom is very large with a massive bed and amazing window overlooking the Abbey. There is no wardrobe as such but there is plenty of drawer space and there is a clothes rail that is large enough to hang up plenty of clothes. The double room is well spaced and equipped as well. The living room has a convenient cloakroom to one side of the entrance which is plenty big enough for several suitcases, shoes and coats. The livingroom itself has another wonderfully large window looking over towards the Abbey. Plenty of comfy seats to enjoy the view or watch tv. The dining table is a good size as well. Loads of board games for all ages and a very detailed welcome pack to go with a generous arrival hamper of local buiscuits, cake and tea. The outside seating area is plenty big enough to store bodyboards and dry wetsuits etc and has another good size table and 4 chairs (No abbey view though from the outside area, but that cant be helped). All in all this apartment is very difficult to better in Whitby for what it offers. We are very much looking forward to returning again.

  Positives...

  ..Location wise to beach and amenities are good ,and all close to the apartment. Comfy beds, nice bedrooms with clean and fresh bedding, plenty of towels too. lovely bathroom & heated towel rail so we always had dry towels to use and plenty of hot water . Nice bright and lovely view from the small dining area on to a public garden which is kept very neat and tidy. Kitchen and lounge adequate size, kitchen stocked with everything you need for cooking, instructions for all electrical items, but we did find the oven a challenge at first but soon got used to how it worked. Emma the owner very friendly and responsive , left a welcome pack of goodies and drinks for the grand children. negatives... wall mounted TV too high on the wall, even grandkids commented on why it was so high. Bit disappointed with skirting and some doors , they needed a clean, I do like things clean, even paint work! Overall this is a lovely flat, it was home for 1 week, we had good weather and grand kids loved the beach and other amenities that bridlington offers. Thankyou Emma. Xx

  Our apartment was fantastic.

  It was modern and comfortable, extremely clean and well provisioned, there was even a pair of reading glasses in case you had forgotten your own! Parking is provided, although the garage is only for apartment one - for the other 2 apartments there is a marked space adjacent to the wall of next door building. I recommend turning your car around in the gravel car park of the accountants next door and reversing into your spot, otherwise you might find turning around a bit tight. However, to get a parking space included in Whitby is a real bonus. The view of the abbey was lovely and the two balconies (one at the front and one at the back shared by both bedrooms), provided the opportunity to follow the sun, although our trip being in March it was a bit chilly. The location is ideal for exploring Whitby and all this lovely old coastal town has to offer, within minutes walk of the shops, bars, restaurants and beach. All in all, I thoroughly recommend The Office apartments and will definitely be back.

  We had a great short stay at Wave and Sea, the property was in a perfect location.

  It was a 2 minute walk onto the sea front and about a 10 minutes away from The Spa which was the reason for our stay in Bridlington to see a concert. Perfectly placed for travelling around, about an hour away from Whitby or Hull in the opposite direction so brilliant if you want to get out and about. The property was clean and tidy and had everything that we needed. Emma and Tufail were perfect hosts, the communication prior to arrival was excellent and they arranged parking permits and explained where and when we could park- even allowing us to use them prior to official check in time. They kept in touch and made sure we knew where to go if we had any issues which we didn’t. The instructions within the property were clear and there was lots of recommendations on where to eat if anyone needed any guidance.
