Guests say
Fatamorgana is a well-received apartment in Whitby, praised for its fabulous location, cleanliness, and comfort. Guests appreciate the quietness, stunning views, and proximity to local attractions. The apartment is beautifully furnished, with a spacious main bedroom and a well-equipped kitchen. Some guests noted the kitchen layout could be improved for better accessibility.
The apartment is consistently described as 'spotlessly clean' by multiple guests, indicating a high standard of cleanliness.
The location is frequently highlighted as perfect, with its proximity to the seafront, town centre, and parking facilities. However, one review mentioned a steep walk back up to the property, which could affect those with mobility issues.
Guests find the apartment very comfortable, noting the spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and cosy living area. The quietness of the location also contributes to the overall comfort.
The apartment is well-furnished with modern amenities, including a power shower and central heating. However, there are comments about the kitchen table and chairs being cumbersome and the need for more space-saving furniture.
While guests appreciated the jar of sweets and biscuits, there is not enough information to assess the consistency of such thoughtful gestures across all stays. Therefore, it should be noted that while these gifts are a delightful touch, they may not be guaranteed for every guest.

Absolutely loved this beautiful 2nd floor apartment.Spotlessly clean on arrival with clear instructions how to gain access to the property. Parking is close by on Westcliff car park and a permit is provided, although it wasn’t needed for us as parking is free until March. The apartment is well laid out and contains everything that you’ll need (loved the jar of sweets and biscuits - much appreciated) Situated on Westcliff which is just far enough away to be quiet at night but within easy access to the town centre (bear in mind the walk back up to Westcliff can be a little steep so good walking shoes are recommended). I would totally recommend this apartment and will definitely be back.Also would like to give a big thumbs up to Cottages.com as we had a slight issue with the heating on arrival but it was sorted it out while we went out for tea and it was toasty and warm by the time we returned.
