Guests say

Riverside Walk receives glowing praise for its immaculate presentation, spacious and modern interiors, and exceptionally well-equipped kitchen. Guests appreciate the peaceful village setting, easy access to Whitby via scenic walks, and the convenience of secure parking and EV charging. The property is noted for its comfort, high-quality furnishings, and thoughtful touches. While some mention the lack of outdoor space and minor kitchen utensil gaps, the overwhelmingly positive feedback highlights a relaxing, luxurious stay in a prime location.

Cleanliness is consistently highlighted, with numerous guests describing the apartment as spotless, immaculate, and sparkling clean. Only one minor mention was made regarding floors, but this did not detract from the overall impression.

The location is highly praised for its peaceful village atmosphere, proximity to Whitby, and easy access to local amenities such as the pub and butcher. Guests enjoy the scenic walks and convenient transport links, with only rare mentions of the distance for those preferring to be in central Whitby.

Guests repeatedly mention the comfort of the beds, the warmth and cosiness of the apartment, and the spacious, relaxing layout. The property is described as a home from home, with only a single mention of stairs being a minor issue for some.

Facilities are rated very highly, with guests noting the modern, well-equipped kitchen, secure parking, EV charging, and luxury amenities. A few minor suggestions were made regarding additional kitchen utensils and the absence of outdoor space, but these did not significantly impact overall satisfaction.

Many guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as welcome hampers, quality bathroom products, and festive decorations. However, as gifts like hampers are mentioned, it should be noted that these are not guaranteed for every stay.

From the train station just yards away you can take the train into Whitby which is the very next stop. Or, hop into the car and you are in the heart of Whitby within 5 minutes’.

History buffs will be delighted with the abundance of heritage to discover in this ancient town, from the selection of museums to the fossils and jet you can search for on the beaches.

    We had a fantastic week at Riverside, the apartment is beautifully furnished and beds incredibly comfortable. We loved the location next to the train line and watching the steam engines go by. The route along the railway into Whitby is a flat scenic 25min walk.We had lovely weather and enjoyed days out at Robin Hoods bay, Danby and Goathland (home to TV series Heartbeat and Harry Potter). Highly recommend the apartment, such good value and high spec, convenient pub opposite and Whitby close by. Try Pizza West at Whitby, superb pizzas. We also enjoyed the Mad Alice Train at Pickering.

    Riverside Walk is a most beautiful property and it was a pleasure to stop in. The hosts had covered everything to ensure we had a fantastic long weekend.We also loved the location, close to stunning walks, not far to Whitby but with the luxury of not having to drive. All I can say is if you get the chance just book it.

    Beautiful appartment. Fully equipped with every single item you could wish for. Extremely comfortable bed and a wonderful welcome hamper including tea, biscuits, cake and crisps plus milk in the fridge. 20 min flat walk to Whitby down the cinder path track side by the railway line. Perfect location for steam train enthusiasts as they pass by the lounge window. Property was excellent from start to finish. Very highly recommended.
