Place was really great, felt very luxury at a good price. Only things to mention were that whilst it was clean, it could benefit for a regular deep clean. There also wasn’t a coffee machine as displayed in the photos

Luxury apartment with good views. Positive: luxurious spacious apartment , lots of facilities to use like microwave, coffee machine and washing machine. Close to amenities . Negative: very clean but missed a few areas like the balcony could have done with a sweep, clean and paint. Freezer inside needed cleaning. the worst bit were the stairs … 70 plus ! Never again and no lift! I was so out of breath not recommended unless you are reasonably fit.

First Time in Yorkshire Positive: Great location. Parking was a must and at the time of year found many spaces to choose from. Always good to have a balcony with a view. Beds comfortable Negative: 77 steps. I had a bad leg at the time of going. The second day I went out 3 times. Still managed it mind.

Ziet er luxer uit op de foto’s dan het is Positive: De locatie is top, het is er stil en het is allemaal redelijk nieuw. Geen minpunt en geen pluspunt maar het appartement ligt op de vierde verdieping, zonder lift, dus bereid je voor op flink wat trappen. Negative: De schoonmaak wordt (te) snel gedaan. De badkamers, bedden en keukenoppervlakte is schoon, maar er liggen bv nog wel allemaal kruimels in de keukenkastjes, er hangen raggen aan t plafond en er zitten een paar stevige vlekken in de bank en in de vloerbedekking, dat ziet er niet fris uit. Ook is het plafond in het hele appartement erg laag. Wij zijn 1.80 meter maar als je langer bent dan dat moet je op sommige plekken bukken.

Excellent Positive: Great location, beautifully furnished, nice linen and towels. Charlie was very responsive and helpful. Negative: We didn’t have a problem, however it is on the top floor with very low ceilings.

Even though it wasn’t the best weather I’d say it was the best apartment I have stayed in .. the views were stunning , Positive: The fixtures,fittings,styling & furnishings were totalling amazing !! Negative: We struggled to locate the apartment building as there were no Numbers on the building itself.. as did many others.. & the balcony furniture could have been covered to both keep it dry & free from gull poop…

Fantastic view over Whitby

GuestAirbnbJul 2023

The apartment instantly felt like home and the sea view from the balcony is amazing. We would definitely stay again and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to friends and family. The property is very clean and well equipped & the beds are super comfy

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in Whitby sehr genossen. Die Wohnung hat einen tollen Ausblick auf das Meer und eine sehr gute Lage. Ideal für erholsame Urlaubstage. Die Kommunikation war unkompliziert und schnell.

Property was not clean. Outside space especially as very dirty and not usable - this was why we chose this property. Photos showed view of pier but there was scaffolding up against the balcony so didn't get the view and we were not told about this in advance. Property was advertised as a 2 bed/1 bath but it was actually a 3 bed/2 bath. We thought we were paying the high price of £603 for 3 nights for a quality clean property but I suspect the price reflected it was actually 3 bed/2 bath. I needed to clean the property but there was no cleaning equipment so had to go and buy some. They offered to get someone to come and clean but not until the next day by which time I'd done it. Had to pay £250 to Superhog as a deposit - they also charged us £10 admin fee - they took our money 2 weeks before we arrived but we had to chase to get this back which hit out account 10 days after we'd checked out.

Lovely apartment with great views, perfect for a long weekend.

Great location. Really lovely apartment. Host&Stay very helpful and communication was brilliant. Lots of steps up to the apartment, so be aware.

A great apartment with stunning views, modern, beautifully decorated and in a perfect location. Positive: great location, beautifully decorated, great space. Amazing views. Negative: The 72 steps were not for the unfit. Quite hard going trying to get all your luggage up to the Penthouse apartment. If you are 6ft tall and above, you would find this apartment quite difficult to manoeuvre about, low ceilings.

KATIEBooking.comJul 2022

Excellent place to stay, can’t wait to return Positive: Everything Negative: Nothing

TraceyBooking.comJul 2022

Good but could be improved Positive: Overall lovely property, generally clean with great views (stairs are demanding as others have said!) about a 10 minute walk to centre of Whitby up and down the cliff (so more stairs!) great having 2 bathrooms and shower pressure and heat excellent even when both on together. Includes parking permit and had no trouble parking on a Monday afternoon. Good communication with host company. Negative: Whilst the property is overall clean there were some mud stains on carpet and paintwork chipped. Had issue with stained bedsheet on arrival which couldn’t be replaced until following morning (and I had to chase the next afternoon as still not done). Someone then came round within 30mins. I accept things happen but maybe the company should have out of hours assistance (not just someone to talk to) available for issues that need an instant fix. Could do with blackout blind in bedroom, woke at 4.30am every morning, although that did mean I caught a beautiful sunrise! All that being said I would recommend staying here.

MassimoBooking.comJun 2022

Great place! Positive: The flat is in a great location and it’s very confortable. the sunset are unreal! We all have a great night sleep listening to the sea :) Negative: I’d have love of the sofa on the balcony would have been cleaned! They had bird sh*t everywhere :(

HannahBooking.comJun 2022

Brilliant place to stay Positive: Beautiful apartment with stunning sea views and a great location with easy access to the town and other attractions. The parking permit was a big bonus. We would definitely stay again. Negative: Seagulls obviously to be expected to so close to the sea but the balcony furniture was completely covered in seagull poo which was a shame.

SandraBooking.comMay 2022

Lovely modern and clean apartment , great location . Positive: Location, cleanliness inside, view Negative: Balconies due to seagulls nesting nearby. Lots of stairs. Fine for us but may cause difficulties for anyone with mobility issues as there was no lift.

GuestAirbnbMay 2022

Had a great last minute few days away in this lovely apartment. The apartment was well maintained and in an excellent location with everything you could need. Would return and have already recommended the property to family and friends.

PeterBooking.comMay 2022

Great location and views, but marred by balconies filthy with seagull droppings. Didn’t look as they had been cleaned fo Positive: the views, Negative: too many steps for any elderly visitors. seagull mess on the balconies that were not cleaned. furniture on balcony unusable because of seagull droppings. could have been avoided if they were covered or even tipped up.

ClaireBooking.comApr 2022

Good apartment but need new mattress and better blinds Positive: Property was just as photos Negative: The bed were uncomfortable, really saggy in the middle

GuestBooking.comApr 2022

loved Whitby would definitely go again Positive: great view and very close to the town Negative: All the stairs to get to the top floor apartment with bags(good exercise though)

LindseyBooking.comApr 2022

Perfect property and location. Positive: The views from our room were absolutely beautiful. The rooms were all decorated to a very high standard - we now want to re-decorate our house! We also loved how the kitchen cupboards were stocked with essentials - there was even a pint of milk to make a cup of tea on arrival! Negative: We couldn't fault the property. We really enjoyed our stay and we intend to re-book the same property in the future.

Had a lovely weekend in whitby. The apartment was very clean and had everything you could possibly need for a break away. The location was perfect as it was just a short walk to the main seaside attraction and communication and information on everything we needed to know was at hand. We really appreciated the parking scratch card and thought this was a really good idea so we could park near were we was staying. I would definatley recommend and would love to return in the summer months.

A really lovely apartment- exactly how it looks in the photos, lovely and clean and feels luxurious. Perhaps not for really tall people as the ceiling and beams are low - too low for yoga stretches too! Great bedrooms, lovely kitchen and bathroom. Nice to sit out on the balcony - great view. As a treat it’s great and I would stay again if I can afford it.

GuestAirbnbJan 2022

Had an amazing time, the accommodation exceeded all expectations. My wife and I were very impressed.

Negative: the stairs leading to the apartment but the views make up for it
