Guests say
Whitby Harbour Retreat is highly praised for its cleanliness, prime location, and comfort. Guests appreciate the warm welcomes, thoughtful touches like homemade scones, and the convenience of parking. The views and proximity to Whitby's centre are repeatedly mentioned, alongside the well-equipped and maintained facilities. While most reviews are positive, a few guests noted personal preferences regarding mattress firmness and furniture comfort.
Guests consistently describe the apartment as spotless and very clean, indicating a high standard of cleanliness maintained by the owner.
The location is frequently highlighted as ideal, with its proximity to Whitby's centre, quiet setting, and beautiful views over the estuary. The convenience of being able to walk into town and have a parking space is greatly valued.
The apartment is often referred to as comfortable and cosy, with a well-furnished living space. However, a few guests mentioned the beds being too soft or hard for their personal taste, which slightly affects the score.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the apartment being well-equipped for self-catering. Some minor maintenance issues like a window that wouldn't lock and a fridge needing replacement are noted, but these are exceptions in otherwise positive feedback.
Many guests mention the thoughtful gestures by the owner, such as homemade scones and Christmas treats. While these acts of kindness are appreciated, it is important to note that such personal touches, though delightful, are not guaranteed with every stay.
About this property
A splendid third floor apartment, in a modern development overlooking the harbour, close to the town centre of Whitby. Light and airy throughout, this lovely holiday apartment is a wonderful alternative to a Whitby cottage, providing excellent family accommodation, with the added benefit of private parking and lift access to the accommodation itself. The rooms of this Whitby apartment are furnished and decorated in a contemporary style and the spacious open plan living area has superb views over the River Esk and upper harbour. With a well-equipped kitchen and two tasteful bedrooms, this Whitby apartment offers a very comfortable holiday home.
Outside, the communal lawned grounds are well-kept and there are riverside walks to enjoy from the complex. An easy walk from your Whitby accommodation brings you to the centre of this atmospheric seaside port, with its long, sandy beaches, cobbled market square and quaint, narrow streets. Climb the 199 steps to the famous abbey or take a bracing cliff-top walk with magnificent views. For the brave at heart, partake in an evening ghost walk, or hire one of the brightly coloured beach huts and just relax. With a wealth of activities in the area, including the steam railway, the pretty market towns of Pickering and Helmsley and coastal villages such as Staithes and Robin Hood's Bay, there is plenty to occupy everyone on your holiday in Whitby.
A lovely apartment for an enjoyable break.

Firstly we were greeted by the owner with freshly baked scones - what a treat. The apartment was spotless and had everything we needed. Views of the estuary are a wonderful. Beds were very comfortable. It is perfectly positioned for what Whitby has to offer with only a 10 minute walk to the centre. Having a parking spot is a big plus in Whitby. All in all it is a lovely place to stay and would highly recommend.
