Guests say
Coast Apartment in Whitby offers stunning harbour and Abbey views from a central, quiet location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, spacious layout, and responsive customer service. While the many stairs and lack of WiFi may not suit everyone, most found the flat comfortable and enjoyed their stay. Some areas could benefit from deeper cleaning and minor maintenance, but the apartment remains a popular choice for those without mobility concerns.
Several guests found the apartment clean and tidy, especially inside, but there were repeated mentions of dirty or untidy communal stairs and occasional lapses in cleaning details such as rugs and kitchen items.
The location is highly praised for being central, quiet, and offering beautiful views of Whitby, the harbour, and the Abbey. Parking can be a minor challenge but is generally manageable.
Guests found the apartment spacious and comfortable, with a large bed and good facilities. However, some noted the bed was hard or creaky, and the many stairs make it unsuitable for those with mobility issues.
The apartment is well-equipped with kitchen appliances and essentials, but some maintenance issues were noted, such as stuck windows, broken blinds, and a lack of WiFi. Most issues were minor and did not detract significantly from the stay.
There were no mentions of welcome gifts or extra thoughtful touches in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

Whitby itself has much to offer. The town centre is literally 20 yards from the property where you can find a large selection of pubs, quaint antique and gift shops, where you can but the famous Whitby Jet jewellery. There are also some excellent award winning restaurants where you sample many mouth watering seafood dishes that Whitby is famous for. The golden, sandy beach is a 10 minute walk from the apartment and is 3 miles long. Whitby hosts many music festival weekends including the sixties weekend, soul weekend and Goth weekends, which attract many visitors all year round. The area is a haven for keen ramblers and cyclists with many tracks and pathways close by including the famous 110 mile Cleveland Way that can be picked up on the cliff top. Whitby is surrounded by spectacular scenery of the North York Moors which you can enjoy by taking either the Esk valley train that takes you to Middlesbrough stopping at the pretty villages dotted along the North Yorkshire National Park areas, or the excellent North York Moors steam train that will take you from Whitby to the lovely market town of Pickering stopping off at Gothland otherwise known as ’Heartbeat Country’. The lovely coastal resorts of Sandsend, Staithes, Runswick bay and Robin Hoods Bay are all within close proximity and are well worth a visit.

Lovely location, very short walk to amenities. The accommodation was nice, over 40 steps up a few flights of stairs before you reach your accommodation but the views from the room are lovely. If you have mobility restrictions I would not recommend this accommodation. The bed was not comfortable, perhaps a mattress topper could be added to provide some comfort, also the bed frame is a bit creaky, as it is a metal frame. Off road parking is available with parking vouchers provided by the accommodation, be prepared to drive around for a space and walk to and from your accommodation, during busy times. We obtained a free parking disc (you should be able to obtain one from the visitor centre) which allows you free short term parking at set parking bays. There are plenty of car parks around Whitby that you can pay to park as an alternative.
