"A delightful apartment that suited my needs."
It was bright and cheerful, in an ideal location, handy for cliff top walks and lovely cakes and sandwiches from Bothams. Whitby always delivers and this stay was certainly in my top five.

"Lovely stay good location the only thing l would have liked is a shelf in toilet ..."
Lovely stay good location the only thing l would have liked is a shelf in toilet for our toiletries not a criticism just a suggestion

"We had a fabulous stay and the flat is ideally situated for the town and harbour front; the parking scratch cards were a necessity as parking is impossible in Whitby without them so thanks!"
Only criticism is the kitchen could have been better furnished in terms of cutlery and cooking dishes as there were no large serving spoons, no casserole dish with a lid and no potato peeler either! Could do with a bread board too. Eating out is expensive and we like to cook in on some days. Also a kitchen cloth and scourer would be useful though luckily I did bring and I understand why they are not provided as they would be thrown away and bad for the environment. I would definitely recommend the flat though as it was comfortable and clean.

"Perfect accommodation for what we wanted, easy access, location ideal for getting into town."
Had a problem with Wi-Fi but sorted promptly and efficiently.

"Overall we had a great stay."
The place is in a great location, right by cafes and shops, and within walking distance to Whitby harbour. Facilities were all clean and tidy on arrival and everything we needed was there for us. Only slight negative was that the flat has a shared access, straight from the street, that the other residents insisted is kept unlocked. Given the flat is on the ground floor and directly opposite the main door, I felt uncomfortable with the lack of security there.

"The property was clean & comfortable with a nice home from home feel."
We did a mix of eating in & out as our stay was based upon attending a wedding on the Saturday near by, but we had to buy some cleaning cloths as there wasn't any under the sink?, despite having a dishwasher we still needed to wash a few things & needed to wipe the surfaces down, also could do with a cheese grater & pint glasses but that's personal preference i guess. The heating didn't kick in on arrival & who to contact in this situation wasn't overly clear in the instructions manual, however managed to eventually contact the right person & it was dealt with that same evening. Over all an enjoyable & comfortable stay in lovely Whitby!. Thankyou
Thank you for your comments the missing items will be replaced . We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"Wonderful little gem, our second stay here and will be back."

"The only disappointment was that there was no outside area for the dog,"
-
"We found Routh Retreat an excellent apartment for 2 adults and their dog."
All in close proximity to the town centre, beach access, good pubs and an excellent baker. Out only issue was finding the property after Sykes Cottages provided us with an incorrect address. Otherwise, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend the property.

-

"Enjoyed our stay at Routh Retreat immensely."

"On arrival the advertised wifi was not working and it was not corrected until three days onto our four-night break."
Anyone using the property should find the correct information in the visitor's folder now. The email sent with directions to the property were incorrect - the email refers to Anchor Cottage and The Stowaway on Routh Walk whereas the property is called Routh Retreat on Well Close Square so we spent some time looking for the property before we found it on Well Close Square.
We were very sorry about the WiFi problem and came to fix it straight away unfortunately it had to be sorted by an engineer. I hope you were satisfied with the compensation we paid you for your BT expenses Property Owner
