We had a lovely time, very clean, had everything we needed and really comfortable apartment. Close to Whitby so could walk in to the town. We didn’t have great weather but the apartment was really comfortable and warm if you want to sit and relax. Only suggestion we would make is take a Fire stick to access Netflix, Iplayer ……..for the TV as it isn’t a smart Tv.

I've always wanted to stay in this amazing house, the views and location are second to none. Just far enough from the bustle of Whitby to be really peaceful. The view from the lounge is enough to make you want to stay out all day! Always something happening. The apartment was clean and comfortable and everything you'd need for a relaxing break. Lots of walks from your doorstep, no need to use the car, but has the added bonus of a secure parking space, a big plus in Whitby! We loved it so much that we've booked for next year! Also the communication from the owner, Julie, was great too!
