"The rooms were very comfortable and plenty of space. They need to provide better toiletries (no soap in dispensers). Evening meal in the pub was lovely. The breakfast whilst plenty of choice wasn’t as good as it could have been. That been said it’s still worth a visit but just feel they could improve for the cost they charge for B&B."

Whitby Bridge Luxury Apartments

8/10 Good
"I stayed in the Penthouse Apartment for a one night stay to meet up with friends. The apartment is well-laid out - perfect for a single-traveller or a couple. The location is right in the heart of the historic town centre, so all the recommended sights of Whitby are within walking distance to you. The train station is a 5-10 minute walk away across the swing bridge, so it's an ideal location if you're travelling via that method. The chatter from the pub on the corner across from the apartments can reach up to the penthouse, particularly after closing time. I stayed on a Saturday night in August with decent weather, so the town was busy that night and I would imagine that it would be a lot quieter during the week or out-of-season. Overall though, it wasn't too bad and I still managed to get to sleep - the bed was comfortable too, which helped! I would definitely recommend staying here. The check-in & out process is straightforward, with detailed communication from the proprietors. The apartment is smart & modern, with a decent sized shower and kitchen facilities if you wanted to eat in. I would look to stay here again."

8/10 Good
"While to cottage was nice and in a great location , it would have been cozier and quieter with carpets at least upstairs ,( I know they allow dogs down stairs)Unfortunately the whole time we were there , there was building work near by with the scaffold van parked on the curb right in front of the front door with bags and equipment piled up close to the door so it made it awkward for getting in and out , the noise from the scaffolding banging meant you couldn’t properly relax , I know this wasn’t the fault of the cottage , but I would have thought the council would have notified owners . As I probably would not have booked it on this occasion ."
