What a fantastic place to stay! We loved the First Port of Call, it was comfortable and beautiful, plus in a great location. Everything we needed was there and was all clean and tidy. The shower is very small but functional. Perfect for a couples getaway

Nice compact apartment for a short stay

Nicely decorated and furnished. Could have done with a bit larger table for 2 of us to eat at but we managed. Overall, it was as described and very handy for the Whitby Pavilion. If only there was a parking spot!
