  • "Lovely, spacious apartment."

    Very well kitted out, and nice and clean. And whilst only 10-15 minutes walk to the town centre (15 mins to bottom of the 199 steps to the Abbey), it's location means it is nice and quiet. We couldn't even hear the seagulls! Having its own parking spot is a big help too. Views over the harbour, and the railway line, so you get to see the steam train every morning. Supermarket only a 5min drive. Whitby has plenty to offer, but if you want to eat anything other than fish and chips in the evening, book a table a couple of nights ahead

    Thank you so much for your review, we’re glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

  • "The apartment was situated on the top floor of a three storey block."

    It had a good view of the marina, the central car park and the steam railway line; by standing close to the window it was possible to see over the harbour and out to sea. Its location meant it was in a quiet position. The apartment was exceptionally well equipped, with everything one would expect from a holiday let and, in some areas like the kitchen, more. The walk to the town centre, with all its facilities, takes fifteen minutes. All tourist attractions and shops are within walking distance of the apartment. All in all, an excellent experience.

  • "Great view from the windows watching the stream train leave from the station across the river, make sure you take something to do when you cannot get out the DVD player was put in a draw and the tv only has about 10 channels not full free view."

    you can see the co-op from the window but it is a mile walk to get to it as you have to go into town and over the bridge, windows are very stiff to open, but the area is great for long walks and lovely views

  • "A very clean, well furnished with plenty of cooking utensils and is a perfectly located apartment."

    A short and lovely walk into the centre of whitby with a great view over the river leading into the harbour. The parking space for the apartment is well located, although whilst there is a lift it is on the other side of the block which requires you to walk across the fire escape to get to the apartment. We did have workman working on the roof via the fire escape from 08:00 into the afternoon for 4 days which caused a noise nuisance. The TV is a smart TV, however it does not have the latest apps available and can struggle to handle data transfer whilst streaming. I don't think it's an issue with the wi fi itself, more with how much data the TV can handle via wifi?

  • "Needs more clarity on finding the apartment upon arrival, also lift location in second block and access via link walk way."

    I feel a published mobile number to contact vendor on arrival rather than only available once arrived in apartment would have made everything perfect.

  • "We had a lovely stay in the apartment."

    The little touches made it extremely comfortable and not having to move the car was an added bonus for Whitby as it only took 5 minutes to walk into the centre. The space was enormous and each room was tastefully decorated but not too garish. The bathroom had a lovely hot shower that for once not leak out at the end. The kitchen was well equipped and the coffee machine was an added bonus. The bed was very comfortable at the end of the day after a day of walking, drinking and eating. The views from all the windows were amazing, really showcasing Whitby, especially the steam train coming in and leaving each morning. Thank you Kerrie. We hope to be back soon.

    Thank you so much for your kind message Property Owner

  • "Lovely apartment with great views of the river estuary and Whitby."

    Great to have a dedicated parking space, the car did not move for a week. It would be helpful to have clear instructions regarding access to the lift in the joining block of apartments. Also the apartment was very cold on our arrival and took time to warm up. It would be more welcoming to have arrived to a warm apartment. There is a fault on the oven that needs resolving. The oven turns off after around 30mins. We contacted the owner who kindly offered to sort this however we established the owner was staying in the apartment the following week so the oven was not a big problem for us and could be resolved then. Many thanks, David.

    Thank you so much for your feed back and understanding with the oven. Newly fitted oven now in place Property Owner

  • "The property was a good size and well stocked with cooking utensils etc."

    Great view over the Harbour and just a 10/12 minute walk into Whitby centre. We felt a little annoyed that we couldn't have a little heat on in the evenings, its seems the owner controls the heating by Hive or some such and a couple of the evenings were chilly and we had no way of warming the room. We paid almost £900 for 3 nights and didn't expect to be restricted heat wise.

    Hi Pamela, The controls are on the front of each radiator, the only time we ever control it is if the property is left vacant. A phone call during your stay could have cleared that up straight away. Sorry for the confusion. Property Owner

  • "We were very pleased with our long weekend at the property."

    It was a warm and comfortable apartment with lovely views and just a short walk into the centre of Whitby. It had everything we needed. In the information on the apartment it mentioned 'lift access' as the apartment is on the third floor and as my husband has a bad leg, we thought that it would be beneficial for him. Sadly, we never did find the 'lift access'. Other than that, everything was fine and we were able to manage the stairs.

    The Abbey is visible from the front bedroom window to the extreme right. Located within 10 min walk of central Whitby, location is quiet and relaxed. Accessible via stairs AND lift and with an outside designated parking space. We thought the location ideal for exploring Whitby and served as a luxurious base during our stay. If returning to the town, we would definitely book this again.

  • "Really enjoyed the accommodation - excellent view, clean and accurately described."

    Would have been useful to have accurate details regarding parking, safe key code prior to arrival as this was not communicated in the booking confirmation. Difficult when travelling from afar with young children and needing to get into accommodation asap. Had to ring Sykes. WiFi code also had changed. Information just needs updating. Property was very good and very clean. We enjoyed our stay.

  • "The apartment would have scored top marks if it was clean."

    Unfortunately this was not the case during my stay. Floors, internal doors, skirting boards and furniture were filthy, not to mention the bathroom sink! Not the start to a holiday that anyone wants. On alerting the owner and Sykes of the problem and providing photographic evidence of the filth, no attempt was made to rectify or redress my inconvenience. It seems that Sykes have no interest once your money has been taken and the owner disinterested in resolving my complaint. Go with a plentiful supply of cleaning products!

  • "The accommodation was as expected and comfortable however the total lack of information regarding entry to flat was unacceptable."

    When we arrived there was no information as to which key box was for our flat. It turned out to be the one labelled XIII for flat 6! The details stated that there was a lift but there was no sign of one in our block. The lift is in the ajoining block and then there is an outside corridor on each floor joining the 2 blocks which we finally discovered ourselves. The key to our block also opened the ajoining block but again we had to discover this for ourselves. The parking for our block was labelled underneath and again the key opened this. However there was no space labelled for flat 6. We entered the flat and looked around for information but there wasn't any obvious (we later found a folder in a drawer under the TV with information on the dishwasher and dvd player and out of date information on the wifi). In the end we had to phone sykes who had to phone the owner to find out where we were to park. All of this information should have been given to us along with the key number. The last thing anyone wants after a long journey is to have these problems. I feel entry to the flat, parking and access to lift are ALL very important and this should be dealt with so that other customers don't have to have the same hassle.

The property

Found in the traditional seaside town of Whitby, is this splendid third floor apartment, located just a few minutes’ walk from the centre and overlooking the River Esk that splits the town in two halves.

With its modern décor and bright rooms, this apartment is a delight to stay in, and with two bedrooms it is a great size for a small family, or a holiday with friends, with lift access as well for those less able to manage the stairs.

After coming through the front door, take off your sandy shoes, and sink into the sofa in the open-plan living space for a well-earned rest, while your other half sets about getting your evening meal prepared for a quiet night with picturesque views of the harbour below at sunset.

Moving to the other side of the apartment, you’ll see the fantastic king-size for you to snuggle up in later on, with a wardrobe there for you to hang up your things and make yourself at home, while the twin room down the hall has two single beds, ideal for the kids or extra friends.

The well-sized bathroom contains a walk in shower.

The property comes with an off-road parking space for one car, and access to the third floor is via the stairs or a lift, so it can be suitable for those with any range of mobility.

There is a diverse range of activities and attractions in Whitby, with the obvious choice being a trip to the beach, as Whitby is home to some of UKs best beaches, with Whitby Beach being about one mile walk from the apartment and why not carry on up the sandy shore all the way to Sandsend for a relaxing beach stroll.

Recently named Britain’s most romantic ruin, is Whitby Abbey, set on a cliff overlooking the town, holding over 2,000 years of history in its stone walls, home of saints, a king’s burial place and the inspiration for Bram Stoker, author of Dracula, this abbey is a must see for those interested in English heritage.

The town is surrounded by the North York Moors and is a haven for walkers with plenty of signposted and maintained routes available for those visiting, with opportunities to hire bikes or explore via horse-back riding as well so there is surely something to suit everyone.

Great for exploring the North Yorkshire coast, this apartment will be an excellent home-away-from-home to enjoy with your loved ones as you get to know the scenic town of Whitby.
