Harbourside 2

Reviewed by Sean 14th August 2023

My family and myself spent a truly wonderful week staying at the stunning Harbourside 2 in Whitby. Everything was just perfect, from the location being right at the heart of the old town, to the breathtaking harbour views (I could spend hours just sitting watching the boats & people come and go). The interior design was really beautiful too, modernRead more but cosy. If you are looking for somewhere really special to stay in Whitby, this must hands down be up there with the very best, you could not get a better place if you tried! Lastly, from booking the holiday, to leaving, Ingrid Flute's Cottages were faultless & thoroughly professional throughout. A well deserved 10/10, five stars+ Hide

We loved the property, very central so noise expected, en suite shower had no cold water control which was awful in hot weather, coffee cups and machine or cafetire needed, cushions on beds needed, otherwise splendid

Our overall impression was that not enough care went into preparing the property for our arrival. The temperature was 10C in the unit when we arrived and it took us quite a while to understand how to operate the central heating. Once we had figured it out, we managed to maintain a comfortable temperature for the rest of our stay, however we really Read morefelt that someone could have turned the heat on for our arrival. There were umpteen reminders not to check in before 4pm, but the heat could actually have been programmed to turn on at that time. The property was spotlessly clean except for utensils that had been put away in the cutlery drawer, the bed (we only used one) very comfortable, excellent, even outstanding shower pressure, incredible views, modern appliances, electrical outlets absolutely everywhere, many, many positives. Negatives: It really felt like nobody had bothered to properly check the place before we arrived. There was a pint of milk in the fridge and a packet of biscuits on the counter, a few single-serve packets of instant coffee, packetss of sugar and two teapot-sized tea bags. However, the teapot was found stashed (hidden?) in the back of a cupboard and was missing the lid. I actually spoke to Carol the owner halfway through our week long stay and mentioned this to her, thinking a lid (or new teapot) would be delivered, but none appeared. The kitchen was mostly equipped for 6 people but there were only 5 dinner plates and 5 coffee/tea mugs. I had to rewash the cutlery that had been put away in the cutlery drawer as it wasn't clean at all. There was no washing up liquid for washing anything in the sink and a completely empty bottle of cleaning spray in the cupboard under the kitchen sink. There was a bottle of liquid hand soap in only one of the two bathrooms. The loo rolls were just put on top of the toilet tanks, there were no roll holders/hangers, which we found rather strange. Our suggestion would be to add bedside rugs and televisions in the bedrooms. Also, the only rug in the apartment, found in the living room, would have greatly benefited from having a carpet sweeper in the apartment. Our overall impression was that it is a wonderful apartment but more care should be put into preparing for guests arrival. One packet of biscuits and a pint of milk in a very cold apartment isn't exactly what we would call a "welcome pack". Hide
