We couldn’t fault the apartment and as we had motorcycles with us the secure gates were a bonus. Pub across the road was quiet and friendly and only a short drive or taxi ride into Whitby.Thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Lovely apartment, very high standard of fittings and equipment. Very warm too, underfloor heating took a while to cool down enough for us! Highly recommended.

We had a fabulous time in Whitby and the apartment at Riverside Walk was just beautiful.
We had a fabulous time in Whitby and the apartment at Riverside Walk was just beautiful. Had everything that you could need and it was of a very high standard. Absolutely loved it. Nice, traditional pub just over the road which was very handy. Great to watch the steam trains pass from the window and we even hired a dingy on the river not far from the apartment along the River Esk. Highly recommend.

Riverside Walk was exactly as described.
Riverside Walk was exactly as described. We enjoyed our week there made even better by the good weather. The apartment itself was well located for visiting the surrounding area and had everything in it to cater for our needs. One thing that could perhaps be improved on would be the addition of a set of drawers in the bedroom as there was an absence of places to put small items of clothing. However this did not detract from the otherwise fantastic facilities provided. We would definitely visit again.

Stayed for a week over christmas period with another coyple.
Stayed for a week over christmas period with another coyple. When we arrived was very pleased and surprised how spacious the apartment was. It was extremely clean and very modern, with every thing you could want.The pub across the road made us feel very welcome from day one. Bus stop literally on your door step with buses every hour into Whitby so We didn't have to drive everywhere.25 mins drive into Scarborough, 20 mins to Goatham on the moors.Railway station was next door. Beds were very comfortable.There was even a 6ft christmas tree in the living area with lights, a very nice unexpected touch.I can't recommend this accommodation highly enough, it was our first christmas away from home and it was perfect.Our thanks go to the owners, and we look forward to a return visit.
