  • "The apartment was lovely but the bathroom let it down."

    There was a large cabinet which obstructed the sink. A mirror and just a shelf would be more sufficient . Mouldy shower seal. Free standing shelve unit was very rusty. Hooks needed for bath robes. When I took the sheets off the bed, the protective bed covers were heavily stained . This could have been down to the cleaner having to rush because the previous guests didn’t check out until 3pm. If these small things were rectified it would definitely be a 10/10.

  • "This is a lovely spacious apartment that is in a good location."

    Although the entrance hall to the building looks a little tired, the apartment itself is well fitted, comfortable, well-equipped and nicely decorated. We had a problem with the boiler during our stay which was quickly dealt with by the owner. We enjoyed the vue of Whitby Abbey from the living room window.

  • "We had a brilliant week away with our dog, Walter."

    The property was spotlessly clean and the tea, biscuits and wine were a nice touch. Being a bit of a pair of technophobes we couldn't work the hob out, but Stuart and Sharon came and explained it to us, they were great. The property is excellently located a couple of minutes away from the beach and town centre we will definitely be back. Many thanks.

  • "We’ve had an absolutely fantastic time at Abbey Vista - 10/10 to the owners Stuart and Sharon who were so friendly, helpful and kind."

    The apartment is immaculate, super clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. There’s every appliance and utensil you will ever need in the kitchen and the dishwasher was an added bonus. You can see the Abbey from the lounge and you are only 5 minutes to the Whale Bone and down into Whitby Harbour. The car parking pass to the car park a short walk away was an added bonus plus the wine and local biscuits on arrival. Finally our little doggy enjoyed his holiday too and we can’t wait to return, it was just what we needed THANKYOU.

    Nicely decorated with all the home comforts you’d expect. The view of the Abbey was lovely to see whilst eating breakfast, from the bay window. Great central location to explore the wonders of Whitby. Milk, biscuits and red wine were thoughtfully left out for us by the owners. We shall definitely be returning! Thank you.

  • "A beautiful apartment in a really convenient location."

    The apartment is spacious and tastefully decorated throughout with everything provided for a holiday stay. A welcome gift of wine and biscuits was left for us which was very thoughtful. And milk provided was great but after 5 hours of travelling a couple of tea bags would have been very much appreciated - neither of us drink coffee. The furnishings in the house are beautiful and create a relaxing environment after a day of walking the bed and sofa are very comfortable. My only critique and it is small would be the shower as it’s near impossible to get a consistent temperature, two days were perfect but the others were either freezing cold or it would literally melt your skin and I set it the same each time. The shower unit dripped and also had a leak which sprayed out the bottom so I’m not sure if that caused the problem. I used the bath instead which is fine but I do prefer to shower due to having had spinal surgery. Overall we had an amazing week and we would definitely book to stay here again.

  • "The apartment was as described with a lovely view of the Abbey."

    However, I disagree with several reviews where previous guests have described it as being fully equipped. For example, there was no rubber non slip bath mat provided for showering purposes. An item essential to prevent slipping. There were also no instructions on how to operate the heated towel rail in the bathroom.

    Did not use the main oven as it was filthy. Bits of food under sofa cushions. Empty bottle found under the sofa. We spent one and a half hours cleaning the place, we did not call the caretaker as our standards are obviously higher than his. We feel sorry for the owners of the property as the quality of furnishings and equipment in the flat are excellent.

    We are very sorry about the issues you experienced. We have spoken to the cleaning company about these and the owner of the company has taken the feedback very seriously and stressed that if you had complained on the day the cleaner would have returned to put everything right. Our guests often comment about the excellent standard of cleaning so we are sorry this was not the case for your stay. Thank you very much for your kind comments about the excellent quality of furnishings and equipment in the flat. Property Owner
