We had a fabulous stay in commondale! Cannot fault the apartment at all! The only thing missing was maybe a small bin in the bathroom, but other than that it was perfect! Nice and warm, extra blankets, iron and ironing board, plenty of utensils and kitchen equipment. The beds were super comfortable too! Literally home from home. And all instructions were clear and easy to understand in the folders left for our perusal! And perfectly placed in Beautiful picturesque surroundings in a very peaceful village! Perfect for escaping to. Local shops are a short drive away. But we picked bits and pieces up while we were out on day trips. Welcomed with a bottle of wine, coffee, milk and tea. So even if we had not brought bits with us, we could have a cuppa on arrival! Laundry facilities which came in handy as we had the grandchildren with us. The local pub does not do food. But is very good prices and quaint. A real step back in time! If you are looking for tranquility and a perfect base to explore Whitby and surrounding areas. Then you cannot go wrong with this apartment in Commondale. We will definitely be back!

Lovely apartment but I booked it because it stated in the information that it was a short walk to the pub which served good food. Unfortunately the pub did not serve food so we had to drive three miles to eat.
