"Very well equipped & lots of little extras you don’t normally get."
Instructions & administration perfect. The only thing missing is a toilet on the third floor & the steps are tricky, but we knew that & it is an old building! The location more than compensates for that & it wouldn’t stop us returning. We loved it!

"Great apartment, plenty of room, spacious light and airy."
Very clean with nice views of the harbour from the downstairs bedroom. Loved the nespresso coffee machine in the kitchen, this was well equipped with air fryer, microwave oven and hob. Great living area for relaxing on an evening. Could benefit from from a digital TV for more choice of viewing options (based on younger generation). Had a really enjoyable stay, right in the heart of Whitby. Close to all local amenities, pubs, amusements, shops, restaurants, etc. Would recommend and stay again.

Is there a way to have a toilet in the top bedroom as you have a bath in the room. We enjoyed our stay and we were well looked after by owner who put a touch for us to use because the weather had done damage to the roof.

"Great location for the town, close to pubs, restaurants and local amenities."
Parking scratch cards an excellent idea, although the traffic wardens are particularly vigilant so need to ensure correct completion of the card and watch out for any local temporary parking restrictions when you park up! Apartment well appointed with everything you need, however lots of steps which could be difficult if you have mobility issues. Welcome pack a nice touch and much appreciated!

"Great communication from owner."
Property was ready before check in time. Very clean and well equipped. Great location right in the heart of Whitby. Provided parking permits which were essential and appreciated. Really lovely property with everything you need. Couple of things to mention: cooker was a bit of a nightmare (halogen) to cook on - but maybe just because we’re used to gas. Double bed in attic was really uncomfortable and a little noisy due to pub and seagulls! But you expect that due to the central location. Regardless of that, we had a lovely stay and would book again in the future. Would recommend to others. Thank you for a lovely stay.

"Overall at first glances lovely apartment."
Then when you look abit closer not quite as luxurious as you first think. Cupboard doors damaged on washing machine door meaning it didn't close properly and other doors not great.maybe abit too cluttered in the cupboards meaning nowhere to put your food for the week other than in the cupboard where the fusebox was.Pub over the road very noisy till 1am on the Saturday with music. People fighting outside during the week, we wouldn't pick to come here again as was too noisy. Bed was really uncomfortable. Open coil mattress not really the type of quality that I would expect for the money paid. Unfortunately not a good stay, left looking forward to getting home.
Thank-you for your feedback. We strive to maintain a high standard with Sea Shanty and as you can see from our reviews, ratings and comments, many, many guests think the same and have extremely comfortable and pleasant stays, returning several times throughout the year. I have checked the washing machine cupboard door, it is slightly ajar, by millimetres, due to a small stopper on it to prevent the door from knocking the machine buttons. Guests comment on how comfortable the beds are, including several guests following your visit. Sea Shanty is in a prime town centre position, with restaurants, shops and the beach all within walking distance which is why Sea Shanty is so popular.

"“Sea Shanty” is an amazing Apartment set into the Center of beautiful Whitby."
Clean, well equipped and homely. Would totally recommend to anyone and everyone who has NO mobility issues. People WITH Mobility issues should be made aware of the Steep Stairway from front door to Apartment entrance followed by a second flight of stairs to living area and bedroom. The steep narrow twisting-stairway (as advertised), leading you to the top bedroom is taken at your own peril lol. No toilet on this floor adds to this bedroom being unsuitable for restricted mobility guests. One last heads up, for us “not so mobile”, is the Parking situation. I’m afraid it’s a “drop off” for us folk and potluck trying to find a Parking space for the other half lol. The owner did kindly leave parking permits which were greatly appreciated. All in All. “Sea Shanty” is wonderful and would totally recommend .
Ground floor it is for me next time.

Brilliant position, a real cosy home from home with everything you could possibly need and a lovely friendly welcome from owner Lindsay.

"Sea Shanty is located right behind the sea front shops, there is a lovely view of the harbour and Abbey from the property yet being so close to the huddle and Brussel it is lovely and quiet."
The apartment is clean ,tidy and spacious,well equipped for all your needs. During our stay we had some very wet and windy days but it was really warm and inviting after braving the elements outside.
We were made to feel welcome and right at home with the wine, chocolates and welcome box of coffee,tea ,hot chocolate and biscuits, a really nice touch after a long journey over the Moors in bad weather.
Lots to do and see in and close to town. Superb restaurants.
We had worried about parking, the owner had left parking permits for us meaning a big saving on car park charges (all those pound coins we collected over previous week's weren't needed!)
We would recommend Sea Shanty to all,with the exception of anyone who has difficulty with stairs.
The owner was easily contactable and friendly and should be proud of her presentation of such a smashing homely property.

The kitchen was well equipped and the small coffee machine was a nice extra. Plenty of hot water and WiFi for four of us. Everything worked well while we were there and the communication from the owner was very helpful. We enjoyed eating out - lunch at the café with secret seaview in Robin Hoods Bay, and great seafood at Abbey Wharf and at The Moon and Sixpence which is close to the apartment. The street was bustling on arrival and there were directions to a suitable place to park while unloading. Parking permits and disc zone cards provided - the permit area is large and was busiest on Saturday, we could find a space near the start of the zone by the beach/front most days. There is a nice shop on the way to the Abbey Steps for bath treats!
