Host & Stay | Silver Beach — Guest Reviews

Lovely stay at this charming Whitby property! The space was very clean, comfortable, and dog-friendly, which was perfect for us. It’s just a 5-minute walk to the town, with plenty of pubs and restaurants nearby. Communication with the host was easy and smooth, and we were left a parking pass so we could park in the zone without any hassle. Overall, a delightful stay that we would happily return to. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Whitby, especially with pets!

Perfect place to explore Whitby. Exactly what we needed in the flat Close to bars and restaurants Bonus it is dog friendly

Our stay overall was good, there were some stains on the hand towel which I informed the host about, there were also some stains on the sofa cushions. Other than that the place seemed clean and tidy, had everything you need. Although would have appreciated more than 1 roll of toilet roll left. Location was fab, 2 minutes walk from the beach and west cliff area, and about 10 minute walk to the main town centre, restaurant etc. We got a parking scratch card allowing us to park for free in the W zones, however we weren't always able to make use of this due to lack of spaces, it was extremely busy and parking was very difficult, in order to unpack and pack the car we had to put hazards on in the middle of the road, not the host's fault - just a heads up for other travellers. The property itself had nice neutral decor, bed was comfortable and entry was wasy. We appreciated it being dog friendly also.

I stayed with my partner at Dale's apartment, Silver Beach in Whitby. I know Whitby very well and the first thing to impress me was the location of the apartment. It's a 5 minute walk to the North beach and perfect for exercising the dog in the morning (you need to go to the far left end during the Summer months). Heading into town is also a 5 minute walk where there are great pubs and restaurants. The apartment itself is spotlessly clean and very modern. It has all the facilities that you need and we managed to get an on street parking spot right outside the apartment. I would highly recommend Silver Beach and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Great location, everything close by. Very responsive to messages pre check in and during the stay. Ample parking with clear instructions regarding permit. Well equipped house, very comfortable and spacious. Dog friendly which added to the ease of our holiday, would recommend to other guests!

Perfect little stay close to the heart of Whitby, a short walk to the centre and right near a row of shops/pubs/restaurants. Would highly recommend to any couple visiting Whitby, especially with your furry friend! On street parking was excellent using the probided parking scratch card! Property was very clean and modern! Would stay again when revisiting Whitby!

The location was great and the flat very clean and on for table. Vey corporate feeling . Positive: It was modern with most appliances for a comfortable stay. The location was excellent and the property provided parking passes for the duration of our stay. Negative: We luckily got a parking space but parking was difficult. There was only one sapre toilet roll for 2 of us for 4 nights/3days. Also there were 2 teabags ,2 sachets of coffee and 2 sugars in jars for sugar teas and coffee. This looked mean. I suggest if you only want to provide a drink on arrival you do it in a welcome pack. I also thought it was mean not to provide salt and peeper at least. The flat felt very corporate and bland with only one picture on the wall in the bathroom.

Perfect place for me, the husband and the dog. Walkable to really nice shops and the beach front. Really helpful instructions for check in, parking etc. Really enjoyed our stay!

A wonderful place to stay when coming to Whitby! Restaurants, bars, bakeries and shops right at your front door which was great, the on street parking was so handy to have! We recommend the Passage to India restaurant to anyone staying too, we stumbled across whilst looking through leaflets that the hosts had left, it was amazing! The hosts were always on hand to help, very quick and responsive! Will definitely stay again when visiting Whitby 😊

We stayed at Silver Beach early May 2025 for 5 days and had a wonderful time. The flat was clean, comfy and had everything we needed. Bed was very comfy and the flat was nicely furnished. Great location & very quiet. Town, beach etc. all very close, some fab places to eat & drink nearby. Parking can be a challenge at weekends, but we always found a space within good distance and the parking tickets provided were a great help. Can certainly recommend Silver Beach and would definitely stay again.

Perfect location for me. As described, value for money. Clean well presented. Excellent Stay. Thank you

The property is in a good location and is well presented. However parking is a big issue. We were promised upon arrival that we would be provided with a scratch card car park permit. However this was not made available to use. For a 2 night stay we had to park on a 24 hour public car park a considerable walk away from the property resulting in car park fees of £27.10. Given that my wife has mobility issues the situation wasn't satisfactory.

Amazing place. Location perfect . Lovely property, clean and everything you need . Had a problem with heating, they sorted it out within two hour on New Year’s Day . Thank you.

This property was warm, welcoming and cosy. It was in a super location and we found parking close by in the permit zone. It had every amenity you might need which makes it highly recommended! Communication with the hosts was speedy and efficient and friendly. We can”t recommend this property highly enough, we will certainly recommend this company and hopefully will stay in one of their properties again in the future, thank you for a lovely stay.

AVOID Host & Stay absolutely terrible. Positive: Location was excellent Negative: Advertise free parking, but we only received a 48 parking permit for our 3 night break. 2 hours after it expired, we received a £25 parking fine. Customer service was terrible and even accused us of not following the permits instructions. We had it confirmed that we filled it out correctly. We still have it, so we can confirm this, but host and stay are not interested. I really do not appreciate being accused of lying. Avoid Host and Stay at all costs.

Positive: Location, layout, everything needed for a short break Negative: Stained carpets, toaster not working properly (had to hold the switch down while it toasted). Needed a good deep clean throughout. Water left in kettle and coffee maker . Shame because could be really nice .

Great stay in Whitby Positive: Location facilities Negative: Nothing

Great location, great value Positive: Very comfortable apartment, well maintained and in a great location.

Great Location, modern rooms, and very clean. Would recommend to anyone

Positive: Excellent location, clean, well administered.

Positive: We received all the information we needed before and during our stay. The apartment itself was clean and had everything we could possibly need and the location was perfect.

Having booked as a late getaway for the weekend we found everything more than suitable for the short break. Property was very well maintained and cleanliness throughout was of a high standard. Having the dishwasher to clean everything up was a nice addition for anyone who plans to not eat out, but all kitchen appliances and supplies were there to allow you to easily prepare meals. Location was close enough to beach and harbour, and the supplied parking passes make parking convenient, but due to location finding said parking close to the property, can be a struggle. The only minor drawbacks we found was the lack of USB ports for device charging, which we were able to circumvent, but something to bear in mind if a person with multiple devices which you travel with, and even though the weather wasn’t particularly hot, having to leave the ground floor window open to cool the bedroom, was very unnerving, so supply of a fan should be considered.

Flat is well equipped, comfortable and centrally located within walking distance of town centre.

Booking of extra night could have been handled better. Not sure whose fault it was, booking.com or the owners Positive: Location. Spacious. Clean Negative: Parking is free for all

Positive: This was our third time staying here and we've always found it to be excellent. Negative: Finding a parking space!

Perfect i came for my 50th Birthday Positive: Location so Light and Perfect for what you need, a Huge Bath too 😊 Staff were so helpful Negative: There is nothing to dislike I am looking forward to staying again

Great stay! Would definitely return

Super accommodation, clean, good position , felt very homely , would definitely stay here again. The apartment was well equipped and nice and bright , parking with the permit was easy to use with clear instructions. Check in instructions were clear and overall it was perfect for our needs.

Very modern and clean. Whitby is lovely. You can avoid the walk back with available taxis at reasonable prices. Had a great weekend.

Perfect little weekend getaway. It is in an ideal location for exploring Whitby and surrounding areas. Would happily stay again! Only negative was the boiler is on the noisy side so advise turning off over night as it's located in the bedroom.

The apartment itself is immaculate — beautifully presented, spotlessly clean and very well equipped with everything you could need for cooking or relaxing. The location is perfect for exploring Whitby and everything is within easy walking distance. Charlie was an excellent host. She replies incredibly quickly (usually within minutes) and was very proactive and helpful whenever we contacted her. She genuinely went out of her way to try and resolve anything we raised and even offered to reimburse alternative parking when we realised the scratch cards provided didn’t cover our full stay, which was very kind. We may have just been a little unlucky as we experienced a couple of minor issues during our stay, including some noise from the boiler on the first night and the hot water being inconsistent at times - but they are working to resolve this now. Overall though, this is a beautiful apartment in a fantastic location with a very attentive host. We’d happily recommend it to others.

Comfortable and clean accommodation. Well situated for shops and places to eat and attractions. Managed to park outside near to accommodation using the vouchers supplied by the host. Only problem if went out using the car was sometimes difficult to find a space near the accommodation when returning. All in all enjoyed our few days at Silver Beach.

A nice stay with easy access in to Whitby. Parking permits were provided and the flat was well kept. Everything was as expected.

Fantastic location, spotlessly clean and great value. However, after receiving email about early check in (at extra cost) I didn’t feel a phone call asking the same question was necessary.

Cosy apartment close to everything you need in Whitby. Lovely bakery near by and plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance. Comfy bed and couch. Toilet wasn’t clean when we arrived and the shower heads and tiles could have been cleaner but overall we were happy with the apartment and would come again. Apartment is on a very busy street. Managed to get parked ok however unfortunately our car was scraped by another car which definitely put a dampener on the trip.

Nice place in a good location close to the centre of Whitby

We stayed at apartment in Harrogate which was excellent and apartment in Whitby, which although not the same standard as Harrogate, was good.

Beautiful stay in a perfect location close to all the amenities and sights in Whitby. Very safe and comfortable flat. Parking was nice and easy and communication from the host was thorough.

Lovely bright and airy place to stay. We slept well here and enjoyed it. Not the best equipped kitchen but with so many restaurants and Bothams bakery around the corner, it wasn't needed

.

Lovely hosts and apartment. The location was amazing, right in the heart of Whitby, and was a great place to come back to relax after a day of exploring. Thank you.

Had a great stay at silver beach, easy to find and within 5 minute walk into Whitby which we found was a lovely, relaxing place to walk around. The accommodation was clean and tidy with everything we needed. We had slight issue trying to find a parking space on the road but luckily while I was searching a space became free right outside so was all good in the end. The host was great, providing us with adequate details for our stay. We will definitely be visiting Whitby again in the near future.

Great place to explore Whitby, 10 min walk down the harbour and 5 min to beach. Had everything we needed to a few days away.

Wonderful weekend at Silver Beach. Host was very responsive providing a link to instructions regarding parking, local area etc. The apartment itself was clean, tidy, well kept and felt very homely. Very quiet and peaceful. Comes complete with dish washer, oven and hob but we didn't use these facilities so cannot comment and also cannot comment on the TV as we were out most of the time and didn't switch it on. The only potential pitfall is the parking as it can be a bit hit and miss if you get a space in the designated area available for free parking. This isn't a reflection on the host or the property though as every other property in the area also have the same issue. It certainly wouldn't stop us from staying here again, it's just something to be mindful of.

Clean tidy great location would stay again

Silver Beach is een prachtig, fris, comfortabel en ruim appartement op een zeer centraal gelegen plek in het levendige Whitby. Een echte aanrader! Host en stay reageerde direct en zeer vriendelijk bij een vraag. Chapeau!

Silver Beach is clean and very well located in Whitby and a good base should you wish to venture out and explore local areas, we had a lovely stay.

Lovely apartment, situated close to beach and centre Positive: Lovely ground floor , one bedroom apartment, close to beach and centre. Down hill to centre, bars/restaurants , worth a taxi back ! About £5 On street parking, hit and miss with people arriving at the same time, but spaces available if you are patient. Negative: Lovely apartment, modern, nicely decorated and clean. We would defiantly stay here again.

Positive: Everything we like the apartment and we love Whitby Negative: NA

Positive: Everything is very clean, really close to everything great location.everything you need is provided for the stay .

Really enjoyed our stay. The apartment is in a great location in Whitby. It was a lovely apartment and nicely furnished but felt like it was maybe due a redecoration in parts. It was very clean and even though we didn't use the kitchen it felt well equipped etc. We would stay again!

The communication was good before we arrived, easy to locate and access the accommodation. The flat was as described both clean and comfortable. Really good access to the town centre, also good bakery and coffee shops within a couple of minutes walk. The accommodation was exactly as described and we had a good holiday, thank you.

Nice place. Shame about the rest. Negative: The smell of Dogs in the apartment . and when you opened the bedroom window there was loads of building rubbish and a dead seagull that was smelling.

We have stayed at the apartment before and as last time, it is spotless and had all the things we required, with some lovely extra touches.... feels like home from home...

Lovely stay- very central location with a quick and easy check in and out. Nice furnishings and had everything we could need included and was also nice and quiet. Would come again! Thank you!

Very nice place with easy access to the beach. Would visit again

Gorgeous little apartment, with everything you need, on a quiet street just two minutes walk into town. Highly recommended.

A lovely stay in gorgeous Whitby. The apartment was airy and clean and perfectly located near the beach. Great communication. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely stay here, managed to park right outside the place which was as great! Only 5 min walk to the beach and about 10 min walk into the shops/bars etc. The place was clean and tidy and the bed was super comfy! We did have to buy more toilet roll as we're only provided with 1 roll. But would defo stay again!

We had a lovely, relaxing stay. The apartment felt very spacious and we love that it's free from clutter. It's a great location for walking into Whitby and the bed is really comfy. Thanks for a great stay!

We had a fantastic stay. The Apartment was spotlessly clean and furnished well with some quality touches. The car park visitor passes were an absolute bonus and straightforward to use. It was only a short walk into town.

Great spot for exploring Whitby, central location with clean and homely apartment

Great place. Easy check in and good accommodation/recommendation guide. Kitchen is well stocked for preparing meals with all the utensils you could need as well as cleaning products - makes it easy to use from the start. Parking is straightforward with the provided permits and was easy to find a spot on the street outside. Easy 5 min walk down to Whitby harbour side. Would return again

We have just had a great 3 night stay, this apartments is the idea location, it’s a short walk to pubs, restaurants, shops, the harbour & west cliffe, the apartment was as listed with everything you need for a perfect break! I would highly recommend & will definatley book again! Great hosts & clear instruction,l.

Silver beach is a comfortable and stylish apartment well situated in charming Whitby. The apartment has a good sized lounge room and bedroom which is very quiet but only minutes walk to the quaint shops and bustling seaside downtown one way and the stunning seaside cliff walk the other.

Would stay again and highly recommend Positive: Absolutely amazing stay at Silver Beach, Whitby. Places was lovely, clean and welcoming. Negative: Nothing

Apartment was very clean the location is excellent and parking hassle free I would not hesitate to recommend

Great spot, centre of Whitby was only a 5 minute walk away. Close to the beach and the whalebone arches. Amazing restaurants, cafes and bars nearby. The space itself was well designed and calming - it had plenty of space and was well thought out. A home away from home.

This was AirBnB at it's best. Superb communication, a beautiful place in a wonderful local location. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely few days with just. 5 min walk to the beach and local shops. Upon arrival parking was challenging but we ended up parked at the door. Be careful with the scratch cards, we inadvertently put the blank card in the window and the completed one in our bag, so sadly we got a parking ticket, so be careful! We had a minor boiler issue, I used the app to reach out early next morning and it was sorted very promptly by breakfast. The bed was very comfortable and all basics provided. If you turn left out of the apartment, left at the junction towards the sea, there is a very nice coffee booth, its open 9am-9pm the coffee is great and we watched the sun go down with a hot chocolate one evening which was lovely. Rusty Shears was a great breakfast and warm welcome. We would recommend this accommodation.

Excellent property, highly recommend Positive: Location was great, the apartment was faultless and super clean. Would definitely stay there again. Negative: Nothing really

Recently stayed here for a couple of nights and would highly recommend. Everything as described and great location.

Great location to explore Whitby. We found the on street parking to be easy when parking in a W zone. The accommodation could do with a quality and maintenance check before guests arrive. The shower fitting is loose, towel warmer missing a silver cover, T-bag jar was empty (take your own tea bags), window catches not closed properly on arrival. The overall cleanliness was okay, but the apartment had a strong smell of chemicals when we arrived and we had to open all of the windows. We never received the online check in form prior to our arrival and I did chase several times to be told that it would be sent out.

Lovely flat Close by to the centre Parking was good

Great apartment, located minutes away from the coast and key areas of Whitby.

Lovely apartment, great location as short walk into Whitby. Parking was more straight forward than I thought it would be.

Super convenient location, well appointed apartment and spotlessly clean: Have already booked a return visit ! Positive: Fabulous location, absolutely spotless and very comfortable.

-

Great location, very clean but the parking can be a struggle.

Beautiful and stylish Whitby apartment. Positive: Fantastic, high quality facilities and the apartment was left immaculate. Perfect location for an apartment in Whitby; only a 5 minute walk to the centre of Whitby. We will definitely be returning to the Normanby Terrace Apartment in the future & recommending to family & friends. Negative: Nothing. Perfect apartment for a week away.

Clean , warm and a good location to explore Whitby

Silver Beaches is a cracking little flat in Whitby. Much bigger than we expected. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. Comfy beds and a great shower. On street parking but a permit is provided and we managed to get a spot right outside our accommodation. The host was very responsive and all instructions were clear and easy to follow. Highly recommended.

Fabulous location Positive: Great location, clean & convenient.

I won’t be staying here again when I’m next in town Positive: Close to town & parking was good Negative: The foyer smelt terribly of old cat food or off fish it was disgusting They sent me a request to pay £20 property insurance before I checked in even on top of booking fee I thought that was ridiculous it’s not refundable very average apartment
