Guests say
Bosun's Quarters in Whitby is highly praised for its cleanliness, convenient location, and comfort. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities, designated parking, and the property's proximity to the town centre. While there are minor maintenance issues mentioned, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests planning return visits.
Guests consistently note the property as 'spotlessly clean', with only one mention of stains on bed sheets and dishes needing a rewash. The overwhelming majority of reviews highlight the cleanliness, suggesting a very high standard.
The location is frequently described as convenient and within walking distance to the town centre and seafront. The provision of a parking space is also highly valued. The property's quiet setting is an added bonus.
The majority of guests find the apartment comfortable, with comfy beds and a cosy atmosphere. However, there are a couple of mentions of a very soft and small double bed, and a drafty window, which slightly impacts the comfort score.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and excellent shower. Some minor maintenance issues with blinds, a window catch, and a lift are noted, but the prompt response to fix problems is commended.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category accurately.

Famous for its links to Bram Stoker’s ’Dracula’ novel, Whitby has a Gothic flavour with its abbey atop the famous 199 steps offering exhilarating views every way you turn from this natural vantage point, across the harbour and town, and into the countryside beyond. The ruins of the abbey stand proudly on top of the East Cliff headland above the busy seaside town of Whitby.
The old town has cobbled streets and independent shops galore, as well as a fantastic foodie scene with everything from award-winning fish and chips to gastro pubs, bistros and traditional pub fayre. There are plenty of tea rooms and coffee shops mixed amongst the ice cream parlours and pubs with live music all year round. Whitby plays host to many different festivals and events from the bi-annual Goth Weekend, music festivals, a regatta and popular Folk Festival, so keep an eye on the calendar of events.

Explore the Yorkshire Heritage Coast and discover the many hidden gems such as Runswick Bay, Robin Hood’s Bay and Staithes which are all a short drive away. The traditional seaside town of Scarborough is 20 miles south and has plenty to offer with its expanse of beaches, a waterpark and an open air theatre, which has regular international bands and acts performing throughout the summer.

The accommodation was spacious & very clean & well laid out. We liked the well equipped kitchen with the exception of the size of the fridge/ freezer which we felt was very small and it needs to be a larger size rather than an under counter type. The beds were comfortable and the shower was great. It was good to be able to park just outside. Whilst it is a little way out from the town it is a nice walk in along the riverside. All in all a good place to stay.
