    “The apartment was very nicely presented being attractive, clean and comfortable with all of it's fixtures and fittings in excellent condition.”

    All services worked and the appliances were faultless. Parking was provided directly outside the rear entrance. The keys were left in a keysafe on the outside wall of the building. The keys themselves were a problem because four keys were provided, each had its own keyring with an identification tab and divider and were all clipped together making them bulky and the identification and use of an individual key difficult. Because the keys were bulky they were awkward and uncomfortable to carry ...

    All services worked and the appliances were faultless. Parking was provided directly outside the rear entrance. The keys were left in a keysafe on the outside wall of the building. The keys themselves were a problem because four keys were provided, each had its own keyring with an identification tab and divider and were all clipped together making them bulky and the identification and use of an individual key difficult. Because the keys were bulky they were awkward and uncomfortable to carry in a pocket, I would suggest that the individual keys are given a colour coded cap and are attached in order of use onto the same keyring to make them more useable. Access to the apartment was via three flights of stairs which I believe would have been a severe problem for anyone with mobility issues. The heating system easily kept the apartment at at a comfortable temperature however it did seem to be programmed to be active 24 hours a day, we opted to turn the boiler off late evening to stop it firing in the night and then turned it back on in the morning. It was noted that the individual thermostats were showing different days ! There was no bucket or boot tray (important for walkers), we did take our boots off outside the building but there was nowhere to put them inside the apartment - we bought a boot tray. We noted that the tin opener was on its last legs. Please note that none of the above is meant to be a complaint, we loved the apartment and its location and really enjoyed our stay and would like to come again. Thank you.

The seaside town and port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire. Ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire, the local area hosts an array of activities so you can be sure to get the best out of both the countryside and the coast.

Amongst its many attractions, Whitby holds a charming atmosphere, home to winding streets and hidden alleys, where you can find a wide selection of eateries and shops scattered amongst them. 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. Climb the famous 199 steps to the Whitby Abbey to immerse yourself with history, or visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum presenting historical and ethnographic exhibition about Cook himself. Close to the Robin Hood's Bay, rich in heritage, wonders and scenic spots, and in easy reach of the bustling towns of Scarborough and Middlesbrough, Whitby is a prime location for exploring all of the delights that Yorkshire has to offer.
