This was lovely accommodation with easy walking to the seafront, Peasholm Park and the town centre. Only 2 of us stayed though it caters for 4 people. Plenty of space with lovely views across north bay and the castle. We didn’t use the local pubs, never got around to it. We have family living local who took us out and about. Whitby is lovely and York well worth a visit though use the Park & Ride as car parks are very expensive. If you have mobility issues the stairs could be an issue especially moving in/out. Would we stay there again - yes we would 😀

Lovely clean apartment with great views out across the sea. Great having a morning coffee watching the surfers. Could do with a little more hanging space and coat hangers and drying facilities.
