Guests say
The Seahorse apartment in Whitby is highly praised for its central location, spaciousness, and comfort, with many guests recommending it for future stays. The property offers well-equipped facilities, comfortable beds, and thoughtful touches such as a bottle of prosecco on arrival. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is positive, with guests enjoying the proximity to local amenities and the bonus of a parking permit.
Most guests found the apartment clean and well-maintained, though there were isolated comments about the need for a more thorough cleaning of kitchenware and the presence of mould in some areas. The majority of reviews, however, reflect satisfaction with the cleanliness.
The apartment's location is consistently praised for being central and close to all amenities, including shops, the beach, and dining options. The provision of a parking permit is frequently mentioned as a significant advantage.
Guests are pleased with the comfortable beds and the spaciousness of the apartment. The separate living and dining areas are appreciated for providing ample space for relaxation. Some guests mentioned issues with heating and privacy due to the property being overlooked.
The apartment is well-equipped with a powerful shower, separate lounge and dining room, and a well-appointed kitchen. However, some guests noted maintenance issues such as a stiff shower operation, the need for a towel rail, and minor repairs. The lack of a washing machine was also mentioned.
While guests appreciated the thoughtful gesture of a bottle of prosecco on arrival, as this is the only mention of a gift and it is not a consistent offering across all reviews, it cannot be guaranteed for future guests. Therefore, a score cannot be provided for thoughtfulness based on the available information.

The accommodation is on the first floor of a duplex apartment. Access is really easy and the owners really accommodating if you want to discuss an earlier arrival. Very spacious, comfy beds , great shower and a lovely kitchen. Two lovely rooms a nice large dinning area with tv and settee and a lovely living room. Wonderfully warm and this time decorated for Christmas .plus a lovely bottle of Prosecco.

In a great location, a 3-minute walk to the swing bridge and the main street. The parking permit at West Cliff was a bonus.

The car park pass made parking simple, and also easy to travel into and out of Whitby to explore further afield.
