Lovely large apartment in great location

The place was brilliant, the only down side was the children in the apartment above who 'ran a lot and played ball at other times'

Exceptional Stay in a Peaceful SpotWe had an excellent stay at this property and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. The house was spotless, incredibly tidy, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a stress-free break.Space & ComfortThere was plenty of room for our family of five to spread out. The master bedroom was a highlight—it’s very spacious and fitted with heavy curtains that did a fantastic job of blocking out the early morning light. Having a private ensuite in addition to the main family bathroom was a huge practical bonus for a group of our size.Location & AmenitiesThe property is tucked away in a quieter area of Whitby, meaning we weren't disturbed by any external noise. The inclusion of private parking was a massive plus for the area. We also really appreciated the "little things":Generous Supplies: Plenty of toilet roll, kitchen roll, and dishwasher tablets provided.High Quality: The towels were large, fluffy, and felt very luxurious.One Minor NoteThe only downside worth mentioning is the low-speed Wi-Fi. It struggled a bit with multiple teenagers trying to use their devices at once, so keep that in mind if you have heavy data users in the family.Overall Verdict: An excellent choice for families. We would definitely stay here again!

Good on the surface

The property flattered to deceive. Furniture and fittings were fine but soon discovered underlying problems: cupboards were not clean and crumbs found inside Mould in store cupboard , mould on ironing board making it unusable , shower smelled musty and there was stagnant water. The outside area was not cleaned and there was bird muck on the table and chairs. We were not advised that this was a basement flat and there was also limited views outside. The mould and sewer issues have been identified previously but have not been addressed. Photos are available on request!!
