This is an excellent appartment conveniently positioned close to the centre of Whitby. It offers high security with closed carparking below the property and all the features you require to enjoy your stay in Whitby. We've enjoyed staying here for the last 5 years, and would highly recommend it.

We stayed for three nights in this very comfortable, spacious and well-equipped srcond-floor flat on two floors, just minutes walk away from the Swing Bridge and close to the railway and bus stations. There's a great view across to the church and ruined abbey from the lounge and master bedroom. All of the fixtures and fittings are of good quality aRead morend the furniture is comfortable and sufficient for 6 people. With three loos and two bathrooms there were no queues for the five who were staying and everywhere in the flat was clean and in good order. The kitchen is well laid-out and very well-equipped, with induction hob, oven and microwave in addition to dishwasher & large fridge/freezer. Include smart TV and TV in each room, Sky for the poor signal and a good strong wifi signal across the flat and you'll find you'll not be wanting for much. Finally, the secure underground car park is an absolute boon, as anyone who has tried to park in Whitby would appreciate. We visit Whitby at the same time every year to work & perform at a local music festival, this is the first time we've all agreed - this is the venue for our accommodation in 2025. Hide
