Fabulous week (apart from the weather) in an exceptional apartment. Ruswarp is very close to Whitby with a fabulous butchers and pub within a few minutes walk. Apartment is cosy and very well equipped. Lovely welcome hamper filled with essentials and local treats. Very peaceful and relaxing, next to railway lines though trains limited at this time - steam trains in the season would be exciting to see. Hope to return soon !

What a gem of a find this place is. We booked very last minute, as were picking up an auction item from Matthewson's in Pickering, and decided to have a long weekend in Whitby.From the minute we walked into apartment after a long drive up from West Berkshire, we felt instantly at home. A delicious welcome hamper was an added treat. Our whole stay was very comfortable and relaxed. Kitchen has everything supplied you could possibly need. Beds very comfy. Apartment is in a great location, and if your a keen parkrunner like myself, The Cinder Track parkrun is only a mile and a half drive, or a one mile stroll across fields on a very nice footpath, from the apartment. Read previous reviews recommending the Bridge Inn opposite, and was not disappointed. A very warm welcome and lovely home made food. Will definitely be booking again next time we visit Whitby.

From the minute we walked in we felt at home! It was spotlessly clean! Beautifully furnished with everything you need and more! We will definitely be returning!
