Lovely clean accommodation, everything there you need. Views over Whitby have to be the best in town. Parking on site bonus. Thoughtful other residents in the building. Communication was good throughout our stay.

As good a a rented holiday apartment could be. No breakfast included. Difficult to find for a stranger, from description.
