Coast Apartment in Whitby offers stunning views of the harbour and Abbey from a central, quiet location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped and spacious interior, as well as responsive customer service.

The apartment was great, in the centre of whitby, with fantastic views.There are a lot of stairs leading to the apartment, so not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. The stairs leading to the apartment were a bit off putting, they were dirty and untidy, however once you get to the apartment it is very clean, spacious and comfortable.

No hot water on arrival - immersion heater was in padlocked cupboard and turned off. Living room window had large gap - this had been commented on last year. Bedroom velux window blind broken. Living room TV remote was erratic - this had been commented on last year as well. Bed mattress was hard and bumpy. Reported to local office and hot water sorted first evening but nothing else done. Despite all that, in centre of town, good views and heaters worked.
