A lovey, cosy cottage in an incredibly central location a few minutes walk from all the amenities & the harbour. Would definitely recommend it & would stay again.

Appartment 23a is just absolutely fab. Two of us stayed here for 2 weeks and it felt like home, lovely and cosy, with everything you could possibly need.
For some reason I thought the courtyard would be public but it's not - it's a lovely little outdoor seating area which is lovely in warmer weather. We had our breakfast outside and also ate outside a couple of times, at the end of September.
The appartment was spotlessly clean, and lovely and spacious. It is next door to Silver Street Fisheries (Google it, it's amazing), 5 minutes walk one way to Bram Stoker's bench (and amazing views across Whitby), and 5 minutes walk the other way to the harbour. It could not be better positioned. There is also a lovely place called 'Shears' on Silver Street which is to die for - they do amazing breakfasts. Google it!
You can use the scratch cards to get free parking around the area but we were a bit lazy and didn't bother. We just paid for the local car park which is a 1 minute walk away - it's £9/day.
WHEN we come back to Whitby, we'll definitely be staying in Appartment 23a, as long as it's free! I cannot recommend it highly enough, and we are very picky!!

Lovely property in ideal location. The apartment was clean and well equipped with everything required for a great holiday. Only criticism is free permit parking is difficult to find so be prepared to pay on adjacent pay and display car park. Would definitely go again.

The cooker & kitchen utensils poor.
Shower over bath very low & awkward to get in.
Courtyard needs attention.
Car for the house parked to close to the gate.
Had trouble parking Saturday night paid £9 in car park when could of parked outside the flat as their were no occupants in the house.
Overall not worth the money we paid.

We had a lovely stay in Whitby and Albany Apartment. The apartment could do with a revamp in parts and a deep clean. We felt on arrival that the place was not cleaned to a good enough standard. There were dirty glasses, hairs in the bathroom and the floors and carpets throughout really need revamping/cleaning. The beds and towels were impeccable so that was a positive. There is parking spaces directly at the entrance door to the flat for the main house. This caused some issues getting even bags of shopping into the apartment. This issue needs to be reviewed as it was frustrating particularly with a small pram/stroller. Understand that it is covid but to make the stay more enjoyable the owners or Sykes should send instructions/things to do via email. For instance all the settings on the cooker have all rubbed off and it was trial and error to work out which was the oven and which was the grill.

We've stayed with Yorkshire Costal Cottages previously and recognised that the quality of your holiday apartments was higher than other Whitby holiday letting companies. That said we would not return or recommend this property. We found the attention to little details lacking eg. lack of clothes drying screen, a sweeping brush, general instructions for settling in, etc. Also some annoying little things like the lack of bin bags, toilet roll, cooker dial numbers rubbed off, etc. The shower head was also hanging off the wall and the pipes howled at certain temperatures. The biggest complaint was the noise from occupants using the patio upstairs which was directly outside our bedrooms and kept our kids awake late into the night. I understand this property is also managed by Yorkshire Costal Cottages, so surely you could request occupants to respect their neighbour and possibly suggest a curfew time for using the patio such as 10pm. After the second night disturbed by the noise and having to comfort my crying daughter who wasn't able to sleep, I had a polite word. That appeared to work on the night but the family's late night patio gatherings continued for the rest of the week. This really spoilt our stay and quite stressful each night waiting to see if things would kick off. To be honest folks I never leave reviews as I feel there as so much people whinging on social media about the smallest of thing, therefore, you cannot underestimate how disappointed we were with this property.
Kind regards
