Centrally situated, great location for sightseeing. Parking could be a bit tight. Close to bus and train stations for day trips out if not wanting to use car. Lovely park/gardens close by. Nicely appointed accommodation with lots of space. Only drawback was late night noise from the George Hotel but our stay included the bank holiday weekend so only to be expected, fairly quiet on other nights. Children loved it, especially the jacuzzi style bath! Great stay & would recommend

We had a very enjoyable few days in Whitby. The apartment was excellent, very clean, well stocked with everything we needed, all items of very good quality. We definitely felt it was a home from home environment and would definitely stay here again
