Guests say

Riverside Walk receives glowing praise for its spacious, beautifully furnished, and exceptionally well-equipped accommodation. Guests consistently highlight the immaculate cleanliness, comfortable beds, and peaceful atmosphere. The location is ideal for exploring Whitby and the surrounding countryside, with scenic walks and convenient transport links nearby. Secure parking and thoughtful touches, such as welcome hampers, are frequently mentioned. The nearby pub and local butcher add to the village charm. Minor negatives include the lack of outdoor space and occasional comments about stairs or floor cleanliness, but overall, guests are eager to return and highly recommend the property.

Cleanliness is repeatedly described as exceptional, with many guests calling the apartment spotless, immaculate, and sparkling clean. Only one minor mention of bare feet picking up some dust on the floor was noted, but this did not detract from overwhelmingly positive feedback.

The location is highly praised for its peaceful village setting, proximity to Whitby, and easy access to scenic walks and public transport. Guests appreciate the quiet atmosphere despite being near the railway, and the convenience of local amenities such as the pub and butcher.

Guests consistently describe the apartment as spacious, warm, cosy, and extremely comfortable, with particular mention of high-quality beds and furnishings. The underfloor heating and quiet environment further enhance comfort.

Facilities are rated very highly, with guests noting the modern, well-equipped kitchen, secure parking (including EV charging), and ample storage. The only minor drawbacks mentioned are the lack of outdoor space and a lift, and one comment about recycling facilities.

Many guests mention thoughtful touches such as generous welcome hampers and quality bathroom products, though it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed. Owners are described as helpful and responsive, adding to the overall positive experience.

From the train station just yards away you can take the train into Whitby which is the very next stop. Or, hop into the car and you are in the heart of Whitby within 5 minutes’.

History buffs will be delighted with the abundance of heritage to discover in this ancient town, from the selection of museums to the fossils and jet you can search for on the beaches.

    Amazing propertyThe apartment was beautiful and tastefully decorated to a very high standard. It had everything you needed and more. Parking spaces for two cars.This is one of the best accommodations we have stayed in, perfect for walking into Whitby. The property overlooks the train station but you couldn’t hear any noise.We had a lovely meal at the Bridge Inn and would definitely recommend a trip to the local butchers in the village where they make the most delicious bacon and sausage sandwiches.Would definitely like to stay again in the summer season.👍
