Great base for exploring Whitby

Clean and well equipped property ideally located for anything in Whitby - though of course, you should be aware that many streets in Whitby are steep and pavements narrow. A welcome pack was a nice touch. Recommended.

Well equipped apartment in a convenient and quiet location. The exterior could do with a good tidy up and weeding. The front door to the building sticks when opening a closing, so you can't come and go quietly.

The property itself was spotless and well appointed. It was very close to the shops and bars although in a quiet street. The only down side was very limited parking. We couldn't find a single space and ended up on the leisure centre car park. Luckily it was reasonably priced.
