  • "The property is in a perfect location just a few minutes walk from the train station, shops and restaurants."

    It was great to have the view over the river too. We were really comfortable there. We ate out so didn't use the cooker or dishwasher but there seemed to be everything you could need in the kitchen. The only negative was that we all felt that it wasn't as clean as it could be. The mirrors were streaky and there was thick dust on some of the skirtings. The bathrooms and kitchen seemed clean but because of dust and hairs in other places it made us wonder if other places had been cleaned properly (eg floors, shower tray) so a bit more attention needed there we thought. The stairs were quite steep and narrow, maybe difficult to manage for some people. Carpet fitters came in on the Monday morning before we left so the next people to stay will have the pleasure of new carpets throughout!

  • "River Forge is a home from home accommodation."

    The views over the harbour are amazing. A nice short walk (5 mins) and your in the town centre and sea front. The added bonus of a garage was great. It was spotlessly clean and the beds were very comfortable. We forgot to write in the guest book however we will next time as would definitely book here again. Overall as a family of 3 generations ranging from 1 to 56 years we had a fantastic holiday. The owners should be very proud of River Forge.

    We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at River Forge and look forward to your return . Property Owner

The property

River Forge is duplex apartment set in an enviable position, overlooking the marina in the historic port of Whitby.

Set over three floors, this light and spacious property is perfect for family groups to enjoy time together in this popular and lively seaside resort.

Entry is via internal stairs that take you up to the spacious L-shaped sitting room, with large picture windows that open onto a balcony.

With stunning panoramic views over the marina, guests can relax and drink in the view, from where you will see brightly coloured boats bobbing up and down in the harbour.

In late afternoon the sun shines across the water and there are superb sunsets to enjoy; just imagine sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine on a balmy summer's evening.

With ample seating and a large dining area in the sitting room, there is plenty of space to spread out.

The well-equipped kitchen is to the rear and opens onto a steep shared terraced garden, with steps that lead up to a seating area and shed, again glorious views for the more energetic!

The four pleasant bedrooms are set over the top two floors, one with an en-suite shower room, whilst the family bathroom is on the first floor and an additional shower room on third floor.

The property benefits from private parking in the garage below, a rare find in Whitby, and there's free parking directly opposite the apartment.

Although in the heart of Whitby, the apartment is on the quieter side of the harbour, but a short walk brings you into the hustle and bustle of this charming town.

With the shops and amenities all at hand, you are ideally placed for exploring the quaint, narrow streets, the cobbled marketplace and Whitby's many restaurants and pubs.

Enjoy a cocktail in a harbourside bar or partake in afternoon tea in one of the many tea rooms.

Whitby has much to offer, with its 199 steps leading up to the Abbey, museums, including Captain Cook memorial museum, and the pretty gardens in Pannett Park.

Alternatively, why not book a nighttime ghost walk, or a whale watching trip?

With the beautiful scenery of the North York Moors to discover nearby and numerous coastal and inland villages to visit, River Forge provides an ideal base, at any time of the year.

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.
