    It is spotlessly clean, well maintained and has everything needed for a home from home stay. The views from the flat along the river are beautiful with plenty of wildlife to spot. Sandy Bottoms has an appointed parking space which is a huge bonus in Whitby. It is positioned in a quiet area yet only minutes walk away from all the buzz of Whitby. An ideal base for a great holiday.

    View from lounge window is great, whether you want to look out at the abbey, watch one of the steam trains come in or just watch the changes to the river with the tide coming in and out, and the window seat is a great place to do it. Apartment comes with its own dedicated parking spot which is ideal, was able to park the car up with no stress. Owners sent us information before our stay regarding how to use electrics, such as tv, showers, cooker etc which was very useful, was also a file on site containing the information along with recommended places to eat, doctors, etc. only one it was missed was car mechanic and wouldn’t you know it, we needed one

    Sandy Bottoms was our favourite rental even before the recent makeover, it has now been modernised and is even better. It’s the shortish walk into town, the parking space and the view of the constantly changing river Esk along with the great view of the railway which sets Sandy Bottoms apart. We will return I’m sure.

    The apartment was clean ,tidy and welcoming. There's lots of information available to navigate the various appliances together with good recommendations for eating out etc We particularly enjoyed sampling the menu at the Magpie Cafe! Visitors should walk the 199 steps as they are not as strenuous as first thought. A walk along the coast to Robin hoods bay is a great workout but the route can be tricky in places. We also used the bus from and to there as an alternative which is an easier option. This was our second visit to Sandy Bottoms and whilst it unlikely we'd stay there again,we would certainly recommend it to others considering a visit to Whitby.

It was fascinating to watch the movement of the tides, and we loved the little tide clock! We also enjoyed seeing the steam train puffing in and out on the opposite side of the river. It was great to have a parking space at the front of the building and it’s an easy 10 minute walk into Whitby. We had a brilliant week and we were so sorry to leave.

    Thank you for your comments. We do appreciate all Customer feedback. We are sorry that you feel that some things were not to your satisfaction. I can assure you that the apartment is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between every set of guests. Both bathrooms are fully functioning, it is disappointing that the decor was not to your taste. To minimise the possible transmission of Covid, the manuals for all appliances are emailed in advance to guests and we check that they have been received. All electric ovens if switched off at the wall will need the clock re-setting once switched on before they will work. We mention this in the Guest Information just in case and the manual for the oven explains how to do this. We are pleased we were able to quickly resolve your issue over the telephone. You mentioned that you were not internet savvy so could not access the manuals. We are not aware of any previous guests having difficulties but we may need to review whether we return to leaving the manuals in the apartment. I can assure you that the oven works absolutely fine and other guests have not raised any issues. Note that the single cracked mug has been replaced. Once again, thanks for your comments Property Owner

  • "The property is in a lovely spot overlooking the river with good views and a short walk to the town."

    It's spacious and comfortable (sitting on the window seat and admiring the view was great) and fairly well equipped. Unfortunately, it does have a down side. There's no gas supply to the property so there's no central heating as a consequence. This means you're reliant on a cylinder heater for hot water, which is a problem if someone has a bath, it means you've got to wait for more hot water. There's a number of storage heaters which gave off decent heat, but one in the twin bedroom took a while to decide to work, despite us trying the controls. There's no dishwasher (it doesn't list one). But if a group of you are staying for a week do you really want to be washing pots after meals. There's a large but old flat screen tv and Freeview box. The operation of both requires two remotes and is a bit of a faff. Could really do with upgrading the telly and getting Sky. We coupled our iPhone to the stereo unit in the room and listened to music instead.

    Other than that a very well equipped apartment that was light and spacious.

    There is nothing at Sandy Bottoms that is not catered for extremely comfortable with views to die for. We could not have had a better holiday in this part of the world having the lovely Cedric and his wife next door was a real bonus so friendly and thoughtful. Would wholeheartedly recommend this gem of a holiday home and we will certainly be back.

    The location is fantastic, perfect for the town centre with its amazing shopping. The apartment was immaculate with everything we needed for our stay. We met Cedric for the keys and he couldnt have been more helpful. We had 4 adults, 2 children and the apartment had amply space for us all. It really was one of the best holidays we have had as a family. We would highly recommend booking Sandy Bottoms :)

    It is beautifully decorated, so comfortable, especially the window seat, you could sit there all day looking out over the river and seeing the steam trains passing by. It has everything you need for a relaxing holiday. It is also in a great location only a short walk into Whitby.

  • "We were slightly concerned when we booked this apartment as it was located very near to a high busy looking flyover but we certainly shouldn't have been."

    This is by far one of the best holiday apartments we have stayed in and we have stayed in many! It is bright and spacious and has the most spectacular view of the river and the steam railway - a massive bonus! It is extremely well fitted out and very comfortable. Cedric, next door, who welcomed us was a star ensuring we knew how things worked etc. The apartment is ideally located just outside of the main hussle and bussle of Whitby , however, it is a very easy stroll into the centre. You hear very very little of the noise from the flyover. We hardly used the car at all during our stay which we could leave safely parked in the designated parking bay right outside the apartment building. We would love to come again this year but looks like the apartment is fully booked until the very end of the year - why should I be surprised! It's excellent.

Offering immaculate accommodation for up to six people, this is a perfect getaway for friends, family and couples alike.

Take the stairs or the lift up to this holiday home and be welcomed by the refreshing interior.

Straight ahead sits an uplifting dual-aspect living/dining room - if nothing on the TV takes your fancy, enjoy the splendid views of the River Esk from the window seats and juliet balcony, and watch the steam trains across the river as they pass-by.

Adjacent to this is a compact yet well-equipped kitchen, which also offers a lovely little breakfast table where you can sip your morning coffee before the activity-packed day begins.

The three bedrooms range conveniently from a cosy bunk room to an immaculate twin and a master double bedroom benefiting from a stunning, black and white en-suite shower room.

A soothing stroll along the River Esk takes you into the heart of fabulous Whitby, a seaside town abounding in fine amenities and facilities, as well as a number of attractions including the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, the striking Whitby Abbey and a glorious stretch of sandy beach.

This town is bordered by the North York Moors National Park, a magnificent landscape boasting undulating countryside with outdoor opportunities aplenty.

Take a trip to the picturesque harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun set or get involved in some whale watching or a coastal cruise to watch the creatures up close. Climb the famous 199 steps to the Whitby Abbey to immerse yourself with history, or visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum presenting historical and ethnographic exhibition about Cook himself.
