  • "Great location for centre of Whitby and seafront and great base for coastal walks from the door."

    Secure parking a plus, can see car from the window. Good views across to the Abbey from the sofa and kitchen table. Very clean and comfortable apartment in a nice and well maintained building. Very generous welcome pack provided. Cannot fault a thing.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to give such lovely feedback, so glad you enjoyed your stay. Kind regards, Vicky, Owner - Abbey View Apartment. Property Owner

  • "Booking the holiday was straightforward and easy to do."

    The communication about key collection and parking was excellent. On entering the apartment it felt warm and comfortable, it was well equipped and very clean. The beds were very comfortable and so nice to have a bath and not just a shower. The welcome pack was delightful. A credit to the owners.

    Oh thank you so much for such lovely feedback. I am delighted you enjoyed your stay! Kind regards Vicky, Owner - Abbey View Apartment. Property Owner

  • "We had a fabulous few days at Abbey View; we were lucky enough to have glorious weather."

    The apartment was great - clean, spacious and well equipped, with a superb view of the abbey. Location was perfect, and a pleasant walk downhill into town. Coming back up seemed longer and harder! The only slight disappointment was that the online reviews and the guest book in the apartment all said thank you for the welcome hamper - we didn’t have a welcome hamper! But that’s a small thing really. I would recommend to family and friends, and would certainly want to stay here again. PS the apartment came with a secure parking space included which was brilliant as it can be difficult to find places to park in Whitby

    First of all I am so terribly sorry you did not receive your hamper! I have raised it with the management company as this should not have happened. I do hope that it does not put you off booking the apartment again and giving us an opportunity to rectify the situation next time. Thank you so much for taking the time to give such lovely feedback about the apartment, it means so much. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay and do hope you will return. Kind regards, Vicky, Owner - Abbey View Apartment Property Owner

  • "Fantastic views, fab location and a lovely apartment."

    Welcome gift was very thoughtful. Would definitely recommend. Great guest information. Feel one sofa needs replacing and beds not that comfortable, especially the single beds. Would have liked a smart TV and struggled a bit that it wasn’t. A TV in the main bedroom would have been nice and a shelf in the bathroom as there was no where to put toiletries. Overall we were very pleased with the accommodation and would stay again.

    It was spotless. The owner had thought of everything for a very comfortable stay. I would just like to mention that one of the sofas was not so comfortable. I think this was down to general wear and tear. This was mainly on the left hand side of the sofa facing the window. Other than that it was perfect.

    Think you should say about fire station tower from view from one direction but view of Abbey from other side is fantastic

    I completely understand your comment, however personally I love the spectacular view you get from when you are sat on the sofa looking out over the roof tops to the 199 steps and the Abbey itself - which I hope makes up for the Fire Station. I really hope you enjoyed your stay and thank you for taking the time to give feedback, it is appreciated. Kind regards, Vicky - Owner, Abbey View Apartment. Property Owner

  • "When the owner of a holiday home cares about their guests - it really makes a difference."

    That’s the case at Abbey View - everything was very well thought out - from the comfortable sofas and well-equipped kitchen, to a DVD library and printed walks. Particularly impressive was the welcome hamper - quite the most generous we’ve ever encountered and all from the legendary Botham’s bakery - fabulous! The flat itself is compact, but it more than met our needs for a week’s stay. Being on the third floor it was very quiet (thank heavens for the lift) and it’s superbly placed a short walk from town. The secure parking was great, one of our ‘must haves’ when visiting Whitby. We will certainly be making a return visit.

    Oh, thank you so very much for your kind words about the apartment - it means so much! I am delighted you enjoyed your stay and hope that you will book with us again in the future. Kind regards, Vicky - Owner, Abbey View Apartment. Property Owner

    Lovely hamper ( one of the best we have been given) welcomed us into the apartment. Property is in an ideal position, for access to Whitby ( just a short walk down the hill) and also further afield when using the car. Car parking space is a bonus as not many properties in Whitby have onsite parking. Would definitely recommend.

  • "Great location and apartment but let down by tired and neglected interior."

    Carpets stained throughout, toilet didn’t flush, sofa needed replaced, bedding was bizarre. The quilt was too small for the bed and inside a huge cover which meant that the cover trailed on the floor. The sheets weren’t even tucked in and then when stripping the bed on departure, to my horror there was a plastic sheet covering the mattress! Really disappointed as have been with Yorkshire Coastal Cottages on many holidays and have always had lovely accommodation.

  • "The apartment was very comfortable whilst being clean and Covid safe."

    It has great views of the Abbey from the living room and it was only a short walk into the Town. The parking space is an added bonus but it is rather tight due to the pillars. We ate out most nights and can recommend Trenchers, Harry's Bar an The Star Inn the Harbour all of which served excellent local fare.

    Fantastic location for Whitby and great views of the Abbey. I would recommend for couples or small group of friends. My only complaint would be Sykes failed to tell us the office was shut and that we could not collect the key fob for the car park as detailed in the email they sent me prior to arrival. We wasted our time finding somewhere to park and locate the office we were told to go to only to find it closed. The instructions on how to access the apartment via the keypad outside were also not very clear and it took us several attempts to get in. This is no reflection of the apartment which was great. However Sykes need to update their email communications.

  • "Very clean, freshly decorated, very quiet location to rear of property with great views, close to amenities."

    This apartment had all we needed. Travelling with two teenagers it’s great location for anyone wanting to explore the many lovely places along coastline and enjoy Whitby town (despite lockdown restrictions). The whole building and communal areas kept clean including the lift. Sea fishing, ‘Cranberry Swamp’ cafe (down the road) and Whitby ‘Eskape room’ experience are top three highly recommended activities to do while you are there! There’s a lovely park also across the road with kids climbing etc for younger families and indoor sports centre (swimming pool) around the corner though unfortunately closed due to restrictions, are an asset to the location. My only slight criticism would be to move a mirror closer to a plug socket for hair styling, so you could swap the ‘beach’ sign and mirror around in the hall for a simple solution!

About the location

WHITBY

Robin Hood's Bay 5.5 miles; Scarborough 19.3 miles; Pickering 23 miles; Guisborough 21.5 miles.

The seaside town and port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire. Ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire, the local area hosts an array of activities so you can be sure to get the best out of both the countryside and the coast. From the nearby North York Moors to its Blue Flag beaches, there's something here for everyone. Amongst its many attractions, Whitby holds a charming atmosphere, home to winding streets and hidden alleys, where you can find a wide selection of eateries and shops scattered amongst them. Take a trip to the picturesque harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun set or get involved in some whale watching or a coastal cruise to watch the creatures up close. Climb the famous 199 steps to the Whitby Abbey to immerse yourself with history, or visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum presenting historical and ethnographic exhibition about Cook himself. Close to the Robin Hood's Bay, rich in heritage, wonders and scenic spots, and in easy reach of the bustling towns of Scarborough and Middlesbrough, Whitby is a prime location for exploring all of the delights that Yorkshire has to offer.
