High Ridge

The only thing that was a problem was not being able to park outside the flat otherwise everything else was fine.

Great place to stay very modern and up to date, really comfortable and very good location can’t really fault this at all the only snag is the seagull noise, I know this can’t be helped but if you’re a light sleeper this place is not for you

Fantastic views beautiful apartment, added bonus sofa bed in living room so you can lie watching up to addey (a fan would of been nice as had heat wave while away) shower was brilliant well worth another stay bid thank you to the owners we loved the new decorations

A lovely place to stay.

great location,brilliant views.nice clean and tidy apartment with lovely lounge area for relaxing.would definitely stay there again.

Nice location and nice appartment clean alot of stairs could be a drawback for some people otherwise all good

Absolutely beautiful, lovely surprise that we didn't have to pay fir parking.

Bitz & Pizza is great. Thanknyou for a lovely stay. Would definitely recommend.

Nice and cosy apartment with fabulous views overlooking the harbour and the famous whitby Abbey.

A gem of a place, fantastic location and great value for money. My second stay in this apartment and look forward to many more!

We did not get a car permit as promised which caused us considerable inconvenience as my husband had hurt his knee just before we came.

Also the bannister came very loose

Over all a lovely place.

Forgot the amount of stairs in this place. Worth the view of the Abby. Had a lovely stay close to all pubs shops and restaurants. Could do with touching up If I’m to be honest. Just here and there a new lick of paint and a bit sanding, light in kitchen keeps flickering could not find a new bulb so just used cooker light only one working, flooring needs sorting tripped up a number times due to under floor making it bubble up. Just small maintenance issues to address. Shower head needs a good clean. I’m trying to be honest so don’t knock me. Apart from the above it is lovely place to stay. Would stop again.

This is a really lovely holiday home, it was clean and in an amazing location.

The views from the kitchen, lounge and hallway of the Abbey, are beautiful. Would definitely recommend high ridge to friends...

Lovely location gor views of the bay, loved the super power shower, it literally blew me away, my god the water pressure was amazing.

It had Everything you could need, but could of done with a slightly bigger fridge freezer for a 5 night stay, loved the bigger TV up in the lounge for watching after a long walk. There was a few tired areas tho like the wallpaper peeling of the wall outside the bathroom, outside wall in kitchen has what looks like mould coming thru, mite need checking. Was very hot and could of done with an extra fan tho. Loved our stay Grant, Amanda & Simba

Lovely, convenient location with a great view!

Easy walking distance to the shops, pubs and restaurants. We have just had 4 nights here and found the place and Whitby very relaxing. Dog friendly as well which is a must for us when going away in the UK. Owner communication prior to our stay was very good. Parking permits were ready for us and we easily found a space nearby. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely place.

Great view. Good position.

2nd time at High Ridge.

Great property with fantastic views excellent location and value would definitely recommend and will book again. Thank you for making my stay a pleasurable one and another wonderful time in Whitby.

Property has no rubbish bins!

!! Had to leave a rubbish bag inside the property!

After final payment has been made could a parking permit for the first day of stay be posted to the person who made the booking.

This would save the hassle of looking for parking spot late in the day when things are busy?

Really nice place and reasonable price.

Great views. Stairs are steep but it’s good practice for walking up to the Abbey. Beware the plague of manicured designer dogs in Whitby!!!

great place to stay central to everything, great views, would recommend to friends

Lovelly, apartment in centre of Whitby.

Easy access to all the shops,bars restaurants etc. Compact top floor apartment with great views across to Whitby Abbey.

We have stayed at high ridge for the same weekend four years on the trot.

We love it here, as it is great for us and the dog. We love visiting Whitby, and the location of High Ridge is perfect, as its not on the main road, but only a 5 min walk. Has everything you need for a stay and the views of the Abbey from the living room are incredible.

Had a great time at High Ridge cottage well equipped and comfortable, excellent location and fantastic views overlooking beach and Abbey.

Would definitely recommend this cottage good "all rounder" value for money! will be happy book again

Lovely apartment with amazing views.

Climb two sets of stairs so not for anyone with mobility issues. Parking an issue as very busy so if you plan to use your car a lot that might be an issue. Parking permits provided. We stayed 3 nights and didn't need to move our car as we stayed local. Close to shops, seafront and Whitby Abbey.

Very clean and comfortable with everything you need in the apartment.

The location is spot on very close to the centre of whitby would definitely recommend this property. Parking is a bit of problem ( same all over whitby though) the scratch off tickets very handy when you get a space

This is our second stay at High Ridge.

We find the apartment very warm, cosy and comfortable. It has great views and the central location is excellent to explore Whitby. For those points above it is a great place to stay and have given it 4 stars. Unfortunately, this time there were a few areas where we felt the facilities and maintenance were a bit lacking. Maybe because it is getting to the end of the season and a revamp is due? The accommodation could do with a bit of TLC. In the bathroom the lighting is very poor, the shower head and tile grout had black mould. It was difficult to prevent the shower leaking as the shower screen/rubber is beyond its best. The bedding seemed tired and the duvet cover, although was clean and fresh, did have some evidence of old stains and a few dark marks on it. We also had to wash the crockery/cutlery that we were going to use as they had not been cleaned properly and some of the surfaces in the kitchen were 'sticky'. The instructions to put the rubbish around the back of the property could do with clarification as there are no bins and was told there was a bit of a dispute about this so we probably upset one of the neighbours as we put all our rubbish in their bin. Also, one final inconvenience, we had to move he car around as not enough parking permit cards were left for our stay and you cannot get them from the Tourist Information Offices anymore. We would have filled out the Visitor's Book in the apartment, but it looks like someone has decided to rip out all the spare pages?

The view from this property is amazing; however I don't think the description is fully accurate as to the 'steepness' of the stairs i.

e. whilst you have highlighted that anyone with mobility issues will struggle, I don't think it is clear as to how steep/number of stairs in order to access. The cleanliness is without fault, however I would recommend including information on the main kitchen bin as the day collection of the outside bins takes place. It is also worth noting (though this isn't your fault) that the bins are used by the public walking past and as such the recycling bin could not be used as it was already full and tagged as containing incorrect items. The kitchen equipment provided was excellent and almost every need catered for (as previous guests have noted, there was a fight each morning for the chair to watch sunrise from the kitchen window!)

Lovely flat with amazing view.

for a change we decided to book an apartment for our holiday rather than the usual hotel and we were not disappointed.

The apartment is central to Whitby and only a short walk from all the amenities, shops, restaurants and pubs which was ideal. High Ridge itself is very quaint although not for the infirm as there are a number of flights of stairs to master but the views from the living area at the top are wonderful. The place was very clean and we had everything we wanted for our stay. Communication with the owner Michelle was great and everything was explained. Parking is of a premium around the property and we did find ourselves having to park about 10 minutes away as everywhere around the property was taken but that didn't spoil anything. This is the perfect place for a stay with everything close at hand i would recommend you stay here

Lovely place to stay and i would book again if holidaying in Whitby

fantastic place to stay great view would stay again .

It was as lovely as ever, so much so we have booked to come back again in September.

Absolutely beautiful place and stunning location.

Could not fault, highly recommended

Property absolutely as describe , brilliant, view from the flat across the roof tops

Very clean nice flat ,great location and lovely view from the kitchen.

What a lovely holiday property!

We liked the initial photos but were really amazed when we arrived and explored the apartment. The views across the harbour to the Abbey were the best! It was very comfortable and we had everything we needed. Thank you very much. We would love to come back another time in the future.

Had a very enjoyable New Years stay.

Location of the property is close to the town centre. Not for the less mobile as there are a lot of steps. The views from the living room were fantastic, you could see across the town to the abbey. It had everything you needed. Have booked for next New Year

Warm, cosy well furnished flat.

Central location with easy access into the centre of Whitby. Scratch cards provided for parking. Enjoyed our stay, will definitely use again.

Nice place and beautiful views of the Abbey whilst sat watching tv

Lovely little flat handy for shops eateries and the beach .

Gorgeous views ,clean and comfortable .Parking permits included which is a bonus .It has been tastefully decorated since the photos on the website the only thing was the little table and chairs outside the kitchen were not there anymore would of been nice to just sit there and eat instead of having to carry everything up another flight of stairs

We had a wonderful honeymoon in this cozy fisherman's apartments.

The view of the Abbey and town is stunning and we enjoyed the Whitby experience, walks to Robin Hood Bay and Laithes, fresh Scampi, boat trips, etc. The only observation, and this is nothing to do with the accommodation, is the heavy penalties on dog owners. £ 500 fine if found in Pannett Park and £1000 fine if your on the main beach. We did find alternatives but clearly Scarborough County Council have issues with dogs. So just to give a heads up, it's a longer walk to release your doggie.

Parking can be a bit of a nightmare.

We was half a mile from the cottage.

Fabulous stay at High Ridge, great apartment with stunning views.

Fantastic location. Loved our time in Whitby.

Whitby is an unique, bustling coastal town with plenty of attractions for all types of visitors The accommodation where we stayed was very convenient being in the centre of Whitby.

We visited the house where Captain James Cook resided. Now a museum so If you enjoy history Whitby has plenty of historical connections. The dramatic ruins of Whitby Abbey made famous by Dracula is only a short walk from the town centre. Also, Whitby Station offers a highly recommended steam train service to Pickering. This is a wonderful experience for those who love train journeys and the beautiful surrounding countryside.

To many steps to climb would not recommend for people with walking difficulties.

Fantastic base for a weekend break in Whitby.

Central to all amenities with wonderful views, we would highly recommend.

We had a 2 floor apartment centrally located in Whitby.

It's was brilliant for quick and easy access to the centre of whitby and was in a quiet location. The views from the top floor windows were stunning and the lounge was very cosy. There was some damp in the kitchen but we had been pre- warned by the owner so apart from a slight smell it wasn't a problem. Everything we needed was provided and it was nice and warm. There was a strong smell in the bathroom that we likened to asparagus which seemed a little strange. Apart from that it was a perfect break that we thoroughly enjoyed and would definately return again.

I had requested an extra set of bed linen to allow one of the party to sleep on the sofa, but the message didn’t get thru’ to the relevant person at Whitby —- we ended up sleeping head-to-toe in the same bed!

I can doze off anywhere but the friend didn’t sleep at all well for the holiday.

We had such a lovely stay at High Ridge, the accomodation was stunning.

With some of the best views, you have everything you need for a fantastic stay... We will 100% be returning next year

Views could be enjoyed even from the sofa.

Flat was very clean. Not suitable if you have trouble with stairs or are very tall as the ceiling in the living room is low in places.

Good location to town.

Bus and railway stations.

We love this apartment which is why it was our 5th or 6th visit!

Lack of Wi-Fi may be a problem for some people.

Brilliant location, amazing views of abbey.

A lot of stairs to apartment so some people may struggle, worth it for the views. Warm, cosy home from home. Will definitely come again. Location- brilliant shops, bars etc all on doorstep. Parking- up the main bank towards park but watch out bottom half is parking zone H top half is parking zone W. Zone W is the scratch card you receive - a map of zones could help.

really nice 1 bed property.

One or two kitchen essentials that could have been included. Car parking permits included. no wifi but good phone signal and wonderful view across to the Abbey. Great central location.

Third time of staying in Whitby .

We stayed close to everything at high ridge. We were lucky enough to see the Christmas switch on and the fireworks this year . So dog friendly everywhere

Clean comfortable accommodation.

Stairs are very steep but worth the fantastic views. Wasn't too keen on having to carry food up stairs from kitchen.it did show on photo's there was a small table in hall off the kitchen but it wasn't there.!!!. Would have been nice to supply a few tea bags and milk on arrival. So many other owners do this it's a kind thought especially when you have had a long journey and battled up all those stairs.!!.

This was our 4th visit to High Ridge.

It really feels like a home from home. Convenient position, immaculately clean, wonderful view in a lovely Yorkshire seaside location! What's not to like?!!?

We had a great time, apartment we stayed in was lovely.

Only feedback I have is once a time for arrival has been accepted by the person letting the apartment, it would be a good idea to confirm how to obtain keys - ie the access code for the key safe outside and confirm this is how to get keys.

I had a very nice time I would go again

The property is very conveniently places for views, pubs, restaurants, shops.

The free parking is great and we arrived, parked the car and didn't use it again until it was time to come home!

The flat was lovely.

Nicely decorated and clean. The views from the kitchen & living room are amazing.

The car parking situation is ridiculous, even during low season we spent over 20 minutes finding somewhere to park and even then we had a good 5+ minute walk to the cottage.

Everything else was just as we’d hoped and expected, albeit the hot water tap in the bathroom sink basically didn’t work.

Fantastic views from lounge window , and everything we needed was there , just a shame about the “ yapping “ dog in the property below , hopefully it was on holiday and not a resident!

Even lying in the bath you have an amazing view of the abby

The proximity to Whitby main street and harbour couldn't be faulted ( just a few hundred yards down to the harbour ) and the views over Whitby the abbey and the sea were outstanding from this property, it was very clean, warm and comfortable too, parking so near to the centre was not good as you can imagine, but the supply of the zone parking scratchcards by the property owner was a bonus, so parking very close was not a problem at all.

Bus and rail links were also available from the town centre, so ample opportunity to visit many nearby seaside towns and attractions. We are missing those spectacular views already !

A great apartment, i will definitely return in the spring.

This is a great apartment.

It's bigger than the photos suggest, being spread over two floors (the lounge is in the eaves.) Views towards the abbey are amazing. The bed is comfy; clean, fluffy towels; powerful shower; good central heating; free wifi; very centrally-located - ideal for The Resolution, Pavilion, Little Angel pub and shops on Skinner St, but generally quiet at night. Parking permits are provided (Zone W.) Very clean; nice decor. If I was being picky: it'd be nice of soap / shower gel was available. Would definitely book again.

The apartment was tidy and comfortable but there were several points which needed attending to in order to ensure the satisfaction of future tenants.

1 No handwash. 2 Shower tap kept dropping off. 3 No coffee. 4 Bathroom inadequately sealed against leaks. 5 Kitchen clock not working. Lovely view from the room at the top.

Only thing lacking in property was Wi-Fi , apart from that property was very well equipped, and the views from the windows are amazing.

Excellent location though the stairs are quite steep to the flat.

Would recommend finding a parking space then unloading and carrying you belongings to the flat.

A lovely clean apartment in a really good location.

Plenty of space with excellent views across Whitby.

The flat itself was very nice inside and we have no complaints.

But, two issues stand out. 1. The bins outside were overflowing which resulted in a nasty smell which I got up into the front bedroom. Also it was unsightly and a health hazard. Locals said they had seen rats around.Council collected day before we left. 2. The entrance to the flat is in need of some decoration and it is in poor quality. No lampshade, grotty carpet and general shabbiness.

Loved this flat!

Absolutely perfect. Ideally placed, so easy to get to the heart of Whitby. The flat was comfortable and well equipped. However its certainly not for the infirm as there are flights of stairs to the flat and then 2 more in the flat! Car parking was a bonus even if we did have to park the car 2 streets and a 10 minute walk away. Really couldnt fault it

The apartment itself was great, its in a perfect location to all the shops, pubs and cafes etc.

The views are great from the kitchen and top floor window. Its a good size , perfect for 2 and at a push could sleep 4. LOVED that we could take our dog and the fact it didn't "smell" of dog at all in any room. Great size kitchen and bathroom. The only MINOR things that were a problem were 1. access to the boiler to control the heating, it was behind a board that is screwed in to place so we were boiling! (very long arms needed to reach dial) 2. The bedroom window isn't very good at keeping noise out but its on a back street so luckily not much noise happens. 3. The main front door used by both flats has an old fashioned style latch that can accidently lock you out (happened to me last time I stayed in the flat below)! Could do with a newer style lock. 4. When we arrived in Whitby finding the correct parking zone (W) with a space then carrying our luggage to the apartment was a nightmare especially in a blizzard! I would highly recommend this apartment , its pricing is fare , its clean, its convenient to nip back and forth to, its cosy , right on top of the amenities and the owner is a phone call away and happy to help with any problems or questions. 10/10 :)

This was our second visit to High Ridge.

The only criticisms are minor. There is a problem with finding anywhere that's lit well enough to apply make-up. Lighting in the bedroom is dim and prevents reading in bed. The bath towels had seen better days and didn't dry you after a shower! Despite this the property is comfortable, relaxing and we will return for a third time. Good idea to add parking permits too!

Lovely central apartment well furnished private comfortable gave us every thing we wanted from our stay

Every thing was good about our weekend away combination of all made it great weather lovely cottage meeting people

A wonderful Christmas holiday.

Superb flat… stunning views. Just remember when looking for the flat the street numbers aren't as you expect. A quick call to the owner had us there in minutes though.
