Second year at Flowegate House and amazing as always. Very clean with everything you could wish for. Fantastic views of Whitby and such a great central location. We could always get a space in the carpark nearby. We purchased a weekly parking ticket from the tourist office and could also use this in council car parks in nearby towns such as Robin Hoods Bay and Scarborough. Perfect week.

Fantastic stay! Would highly recommend and will visit again Lovely homely and welcoming feel to the apartment. Gorgeous views! Every need catered for from pots and pans to our stand out of cot and childrens room prepped available - this was a great help and favourite of ours! Thank you Nothing we disliked at all. Recommendations: We would recommend a new front door or at least a new safety lock on the main front door as its slightly dated and in need of some TLC. The windows do rattle a little loudly at night when the weather is stormy or blustery.
