The location is highly praised for being well-situated, with easy access to local attractions and the added excitement of trains passing by. The secure parking is a significant advantage, and the property's proximity to the town centre is appreciated.
Guests enjoy comfortable beds and a homely feel, though some note the second bedroom is small and suggest improvements to storage and seating. The presence of a welcome pack adds to the comfort for many.

We enjoyed walking into Whitby on the flat and the parking was an added bonus. It was nice to see the Abbey from the apartment and watch the trains passing (and as no trains passed at night it did not interrupt our sleep).

The views onto the train track were lovely and it was amazing to watch the steam train. The other trains were also great to see and didn't disturb us at all. We had a great stay and would highly recommend
