  • "Everything at Abbey Vista was beautiful."

    Nicely decorated with all the home comforts you’d expect. The view of the Abbey was lovely to see whilst eating breakfast, from the bay window. Great central location to explore the wonders of Whitby. Milk, biscuits and red wine were thoughtfully left out for us by the owners. We shall definitely be returning! Thank you.

  • "A beautiful apartment in a really convenient location."

    The apartment is spacious and tastefully decorated throughout with everything provided for a holiday stay. A welcome gift of wine and biscuits was left for us which was very thoughtful. And milk provided was great but after 5 hours of travelling a couple of tea bags would have been very much appreciated - neither of us drink coffee. The furnishings in the house are beautiful and create a relaxing environment after a day of walking the bed and sofa are very comfortable. My only critique and it is small would be the shower as it’s near impossible to get a consistent temperature, two days were perfect but the others were either freezing cold or it would literally melt your skin and I set it the same each time. The shower unit dripped and also had a leak which sprayed out the bottom so I’m not sure if that caused the problem. I used the bath instead which is fine but I do prefer to shower due to having had spinal surgery. Overall we had an amazing week and we would definitely book to stay here again.

  • "A great location!"

    All the facilities for morning paper, groceries and coffee shops and eating out, in easy walking distance. I intended booking for the same week next year on my return home, but unfortunately someone had beat me to it. The only improvement I could recommend is, it’s ready for a lick of paint here and there.

  • "The apartment was as described with a lovely view of the Abbey."

    However, I disagree with several reviews where previous guests have described it as being fully equipped. For example, there was no rubber non slip bath mat provided for showering purposes. An item essential to prevent slipping. There were also no instructions on how to operate the heated towel rail in the bathroom.

  • "The apartment was covered in dog hairs and dog smells."

    Did not use the main oven as it was filthy. Bits of food under sofa cushions. Empty bottle found under the sofa. We spent one and a half hours cleaning the place, we did not call the caretaker as our standards are obviously higher than his. We feel sorry for the owners of the property as the quality of furnishings and equipment in the flat are excellent.

    We are very sorry about the issues you experienced. We have spoken to the cleaning company about these and the owner of the company has taken the feedback very seriously and stressed that if you had complained on the day the cleaner would have returned to put everything right. Our guests often comment about the excellent standard of cleaning so we are sorry this was not the case for your stay. Thank you very much for your kind comments about the excellent quality of furnishings and equipment in the flat. Property Owner
