    Only problem was the baking trays needed lining before use as very marked & s seemed rusty. The welcome pack very much appreciated as had a bad journey also the toiletries.

  • Patricia

    Well maintained & spacious apartment. It over looks the river Esk. Ideally situated about 10minutes walk into Whitby on the flat.

  • Linda

    Lovely warm, clean property & ideal for staying in Whitby. A 15 min flat walk gets you into Whitby centre & great to have a good free parking space. Very well equipped flat, with everything you need, we had a problem with the electric but the owner responded very quickly so many thanks. Lovely welcome pack of wine, beer, milk & biscuits. Thank you.
