Guests say
Abbey Vista offers spacious accommodation in an excellent location close to Whitby’s centre and seafront, with lovely views of the Abbey from the top bedroom. Guests appreciate the convenience of parking permits and the well-equipped kitchen. The property is best suited to those comfortable with stairs, as there are several flights to navigate. While the apartment is generally functional and warm, some guests noted areas needing refurbishment and occasional cleaning lapses. Thoughtful touches like tea, coffee, and biscuits are sometimes provided, enhancing the stay for many visitors.
Several guests found the apartment clean and tidy, but others reported issues such as dust, grime, and leftover food on utensils, as well as a need for refurbishment. Cleanliness appears inconsistent, with some areas requiring more attention.
The location is highly praised, being close to the seafront, shops, and Whitby Pavilion, with excellent views and easy access to local amenities. The only minor drawback is the uphill walk, typical for Whitby.
Guests found the apartment spacious and warm, with comfortable facilities. However, the numerous stairs make it unsuitable for those with mobility issues, and some mentioned an uncomfortable mattress and worn furniture.
The apartment is well-equipped with essentials and offers useful parking options, though parking can be challenging for larger vehicles. Some maintenance issues were noted, such as chipped crockery, worn sofas, and a shower needing attention.
Some guests received tea, coffee, biscuits, and occasionally milk, which added a welcoming touch. However, these gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

A very nice apartment in a superb location for local amenities. The bedrooms were very spacious and en suite plus the excellent view from the top bedroom looking out over the Abbey. I would definitely book this accommodation again.

A lovely place and location to stay in but there were a few things to note. Parking was available but it was down a narrow lane on a small hard standing. A small car or 2 can park there but once there is one car in there, there is no room to fit a family sized car because of the lack of space into he narrow lane. Permits were available to allow us to park in the street which cover a wide area. It appears the place hadn't been cleaned for a while eg. layer of dust on the coffee table, sludgy brown grime on the tile grout and even some food still on the cookwearutensils. Even so had a great holiday. Excellent location and perfect for families.

Great location for Whitby Pavilion, plenty of space, great view of Abbey from top bedroom. Quite a few stairs.
