Perfect for a couple, we have already booked for next December! Great location, only a few minutes walk into the centre of Whitby. We arrived early and were able to park up and take advantage of few extra hours in Whitby. The apartment was spotlessly clean as usual and we were lucky enough to meet some of the ladies who work hard to make that happen. They were so nice and helpful so a massive thank you to them. The only thing I would mention is the mattress nearest to the wardrobe needs replacing. The edge has collapsed basically. Upon stripping the bed on our departure this wasn't obvious so the cleaner may not notice it. Other than that a great stay. Andy and Diane S
