New Year Breaks In Whitby

Reviews

What our customers say about their holidays

• Lee - Verified booking

  My family and I have just returned from a week long stay in apartment 1.

  Prior to arriving for our holiday I received a email detailing the extra cleaning and safe systems required for our stay.which we found to be above and beyond guidelines and were very grateful at this time when cleanliness is key.details for key collection and parking we’re also in the email. On arriving we found the owners have thought of everything for a comfortable stay in Whitby. Greeted by a welcome tray with tea, coffee and biscuits and a personal note from the owners. The apartment itself is perfect for up to 4 people. Clean modern set up. We had the added value of the courtyard at the back of the property which we found perfect to chill out after a days exploring the area. Whitby is a 5 min walk away and further afield you have Filey and Scarborough a short drive away. Looking forward a return stay next year. Things that didn’t make for a totally relaxing time but I must stress are out of the control of the owners are. New buildings going up next door mean you get noise through the day from 7:30am and this also affects parking. We were blocked in a couple of times but when asked to move by myself or Stewart one of the apartments owners, the contractors moved their vehicles straight away. The building works look almost complete so I’m sure the problems won’t last much longer. Thank you to sue & Stewart it’s a great place

  The property is immaculate and extremely well-run.

  From the welcoming handwritten letter ( a very nice personal touch ) coffee, tea bags and biscuits. The communication with the owners was excellent and the property has everything to hand. A comprehensive manual listing all the appliances and many other helpful tips. The large Co-op store and many other shops and restaurants are within seven minutes' walking distance. Pannett Park housing the museum and the children's playpark is directly across the road. The property as I said earlier is immaculate the sofa's are very comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped and the king-size beds offer an excellent night's sleep. The apartment is also stocked with a plethora of children's games and toys. Which are grandson who was travelling with us very much enjoyed! In essence, the owners are extremely good hosts who ensure that all the clients enjoy a very good break. This would certainly be our first choice if we choose to visit Whitby again. Thank you Mr & Mrs Davies your apartments are a credit to you both. Kind Regards Michael & Audrey McKay

  The apartment is absolutely beautiful and a credit to the owners.

  Everything you could possibly want is there. Home from home basically. No parking issues as there is a huge double garage for apartment one to use and a lovely outside area at the rear of the apartment with table, chairs and loungers for if the weather is good. Two big fabulously comfy beds making it difficult to even think about getting up on a morning. It’s a short walk into town (around 4-5 minutes) where there is a Co-op to get daily provisions. Alternatively there are other big supermarkets a short drive inland. We found a few nice places to eat a short drive away (The Stables highly recommended, huge outside area in a wonderful setting with fantastic views) as the town was really busy with it being a bank holiday weekend and the last week of the school summer holidays. We would highly recommend this apartment for anyone looking to spend time in Whitby.

  The apartments had everything required to make our stay in Whitby even more enjoyable.

  The owners have definitely gone the extra mile with everything from underfloor heating to a state of the art fire protection system and tinted glass windows for extra privacy. The location is ideal for the local park which is lovely to walk around, and only few minutes walk to the town centre. On a personal level I had a problem with the firmness of the mattress and pillows on our bed and found it hard to get comfortable. But some people might prefer them. The only issue that currently needs addressing is contractors, who are working on a housing development at the side of the apartments, and their parking habits. To be fair, one of the owners who works in a building next door, had a word with a couple of contractors and they moved their vans to help keep our designated parking area clear.

  Stayed at Ellingham House over Easter weekend. Pros - location for visiting Whitby is really good (maybe 5 mins walk to the river) and property generally a good size/well equipped (although showing some signs of wear and tear). Cons - this may be churlish but property is "just a house", no "wow factor" such as a great view or a really special room to be in. Ellingham works much better as a base than a destination. Also, I will knock a star off for parking. Not the property's fault but the streets are very tight. When I arrived on Good Friday (admittedly a very busy weekend) I could not get parked and had to leave car miles away from house. If I was arriving in a big group/with many cars I would think twice because I wouldn't guarantee getting >1 car parked nearby.
