Guests that stayed at this property said
The property has received mixed feedback regarding cleanliness. While some guests found it spotless, others noted areas that could benefit from a deeper clean or mentioned specific issues like cobwebs and a dirty shower head. Overall, the property seems to be well-kept, but there is room for improvement.
The location of the property is highly praised for its fantastic sea views and easy access to the beach and local amenities. The convenience of free parking and the proximity to attractions like pubs and restaurants contribute to its high rating. However, some guests have mentioned noise from nearby funfairs as a minor drawback.
Guests find the property comfortable, with cosy furnishings and a homely feel. The beds are described as super comfortable, and the presence of an electric sofa is appreciated. Some guests have suggested additional amenities like mirrors and dressing tables for added convenience.
The facilities at the property are generally well-regarded, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and thoughtful inclusions like binoculars. However, there are comments about the lack of a washing machine, despite it being advertised, and suggestions for more bathroom hooks and a salad spinner. Maintenance issues like the need for new beds and updated decor have been noted.
Guests have expressed gratitude for thoughtful gestures such as welcome packs, which include items like milk, tea, and biscuits. However, as these gifts are not consistently mentioned in the reviews, it is not possible to guarantee their provision for every stay, and thus a score cannot be accurately assigned.

The view over the sea and dock is wonderful. Whitby is a great place to visit for a short break.

To improve things the WiFi needs to be better as it kept dropping out. I expected condiments such as salt, pepper and sugar to be provided but we. Had to buy them. There was a scratching noise in the twin bedroom that we first thought was mice but it was nesting starlings that had got under the roof tiles. A heads up to the owner is that some of the flashing have failed in the window areas of the lounge and there is evidence of damp. The vinyl is lifting in the bathroom and needs refitting. The toilet is difficult to use for anybody who is tall as it has very little leg room. The internal cladding is falling off internally and a section in the shower needs refining as it has dropped. Omh and a potato masher would have been useful. The noise from the arcade below was louder than we thought it would be but we were out most of the time so not a major issue, and you did warn us. I hope to these comments are of use to you. We would definitely use the apartment again and had a great holiday.

Very well equipped. Great location, although parking is a bit of an issue. Perhaps a bit more light for reading in the lounge area is needed. However, highly recommended and we are already booked in for another stay this year.
