  We really enjoyed our stay at no 39 appreciating the excellent facilities in the apartment.

  The many personal touches left by the owners made our stay more enjoyable. Being fortunate with some lovely weather we were able to spend quality time on the balcony watching the many boats , ships, naval ships and even a submarine slip past before our very eyes. The apartment is very well equipped with every kitchen utensil you could need. We even used the washer dryer before coming home. The 2 main bedrooms were of a decent size with the bed being very comfortable. The showers work very well, which sometimes can be a problem with electric showers. We were surprised that there was only 1 toilet roll per toilet with no 'spares' available though. As the double beds are pushed against a wall it does make getting out of bed for one person slightly more difficult for those early morning visits to the toilet!. As a result we found that the bottom base wooden corner of the bed always caught you out leaving a couple of bruises on your legs. Both persons in each bedroom experienced the same problem. If these corners could be rounded off (it would be quite easy to do) it would prevent the leg bruises, and a few less expletives !!.I We did note in previous reviews that there was no dining table in the apartment with only the bar stools available next to the kitchen work top for use during meal times. With 4 persons staying it is not possible (without moving the microwave) to sit 4 persons here comfortably during meal times. The apartment is quite large and in our view a small fold down table would be much better and more suitable during meal times. In previous reviews it mentions flickering ceiling lights in the bedrooms, they are still there and makes using the main lights uncomfortable to use. Having said all that the apartment is furnished to a high standard and a very nice apartment with generally plenty of room for 4 persons. The unparalleled views across "the Sound" together with the unique setting in the historic Napoleonic fort, offer a stellar rating and one you would certainly wish to return for. Overall we really loved our stay in the apartment and the above few, maybe neg observations, do not detract from what we felt was a very enjoyable stay. We would certainly look to return in the future. Thank you Andrew & Ann

  Great location and we were greeted on arrival with a lovely warm apartment which was appreciated on a cold day.

  The hamper of treats and the dog treats were much appreciated. We didn't realise dog bowls would be provided so did bring our own but that was a handy touch by the owners. Apartment had all the amenities we needed - we did end up bringing our own iron and hairdryer as I couldn't see these as being listed as provided for (apologies if they were listed and I missed it) but if they aren't listed then I think it would be a good idea to just make a note that these are provided. Bed was comfy and lovely bedding along with fluffy thick towels added to the comfortable stay. The apartment overall is lovely and we enjoyed our stay. It's great that parking permits are provided and we found a spot easily with it being November but we did make an error with the second permit in that I omitted to add my reg plate on the permit and did come back to a parking notice which I was gutted about!! - I have appealed and await the outcome but would advise future guests to be so careful with these permits as not only ourselves but other cars around us got tickets also. The only negatives were the main front door to the actual building - it is a heavy door which is not easy to push/pull open and even more difficult to shut - my husband who is a pretty stocky young man even had to give it a good pull to get it to shut so we did want to provide feedback on this to advise we feel it could do with being looked at. Finally I felt the apartment was clean and tidy overall but there could just do with a bit more attention to detail with things like skirting boards which were dusty in places and the stool in the under sink cupboard in the bathroom was not clean enough to use. Overall we enjoyed our stay and love Whitby.

  Excellent position overlooking the sea.

  Lovely views. Apartment very comfortable and nice little balcony to sit and enjoy the views. Underground parking with reserved parking space for one car. Lift up to the apartment and easy access from lift to front door very close. Trolleys available to use for luggage so no heavy carrying. Apartment was good nice decor but a bit shabby in places. Damp is in the apartment as it’s and old historic fort and it’s in the building so needs rectifying to keep on top of it.The shower room has black in the tile grout and the over head storage rails in the shower is rusting away also it’s much too high for anybody to use so can’t see the point of it being there.? There is black around some of the skirting areas, windowsills and in the kitchen area some of the doors swell and the fridge door is the worst it swells and doesn’t close easily. Apart from this we did enjoy our week here and would consider staying again but the owners need to give it some care as it will only get worse which is a shame for such a beautiful place. If you love the sea and ship watching etc take some good binoculars with you especially if the navy are out doing their exercises.

  The best apartment at Burgh Island Causeway!

  I've stayed in a number of apartments here and this is the by far the best. It's got it's own private large terrace where the waves lap at the terrace wall at high tide. It literally is right on the beach. Most of the other apartments only have small balconies, so this made a real difference. The apartment has been modernised with a new kitchen and new bathrooms, whereas a lot of the apartments are a bit tired. It's tastefully decorated and really clean. It had everything we needed and we will certainly book to come back to this apartment, when we come back to Bigbury again. The indoor heated swimming pool and the restaurant are on site and both overlook the beach. We loved both. It's also got a gym and sauna but we didn't use those. It's got it's own parking space and there is plenty of visitor private parking spaces. The view of the beach and Burgh Island from the apartment is simply magical and as the apartment is right next to the beach, you can listen to the waves whilst you sleep.

  The property is gorgeous.

  We know Picklecombe well and never disappointed. This apartment was perfect for taking away 97 year old Mother for a week in glorious, sunshine though it did have two small steps which I'd not noticed in description. Only grumble is that, despite sleeping six, there is no dining table - just a breakfast bar for four people, where you sit facing the kitchen wall, with your back to the sea! It's crying out for a folding dining table and chairs. For that reason it wouldn't work for any occasion where you want a family meal and certainly not for christmas. We bought our own folding tables as there's only one small outdoor table to use for games, snacks etc. Only other problem was ensuite lacked soap/shampoo shelf. Otherwise it was all gorgeous and would definitely go again. The housekeeper was fantastically helpful and came out on a Sunday to sort out the dodgy led lights. Much appreciated.
