Sunset View is a beautiful apartment with a seafront location offering amazing views. The apartment was very clean and had everything we could need for our short break, including private parking! There is a comfy leather sofa with 2 chairs and also a leather corner sofa to relax on in the evening, after a supper of fish n chips from the Magpie Cafe on Pier Rd The shower in the apartment is amazing and there's also a bath should you like a long soak after exploring the area.Wi-Fi can be an issue but there are plenty of DVDs to watch or perhaps download some content onto your devices before you go.I thoroughly recommend Sunset View and would definitely stay again!

Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at Sunset View and made the most of the beautiful seafront location. It's great to hear you found everything you needed for a comfortable break, from the cozy furniture to the amazing shower and bath. We're sorry about the Wi-Fi issues but glad the DVDs and local content helped! We’d be thrilled to welcome you back for another stay. Thanks again for recommending us!
Love that this holiday home is across the street from the seaside and the views were amazing. The home was clean, spacious, and cosy. All we needed was provided- bedding, towels, hand soap, tea kettle, dishes, cutlery, etc. A welcome snack basket, information binder, a nice games and DVDs, were a nice touch. We were able to walk into town close by for food, drinks, shopping, and tourist attractions. Our pup loved his playtime at the beach! Checkout was super easy. If you ever want to explore Whitby and the Yorkshire coast, this is a great home away from home for small families!

Thank you so much for your review. I am so glad to hear you had a lovely time staying with us, thank you for being a great guest. We appreciate all the feedback, it would be a pleasure to host you again!
Stunning views, nice place, poor service if you need help with an issue
Was a nice location overlooking the sea and cliffs, stunning views and as the name suggested.... the most beautiful sunsets.
On first appearance it was beautiful inside, gorgeous bedrooms although there was a few dead flies, one on the bed one in the kitchen, kitchen and utility room lovely and the little seating area is great to sit out on the night and watch the sun go down but unfortunately we were let down a bit, the wifi wasn't working and none of me or my family

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the stunning views, beautiful accommodations, and the serene seating area for sunset watching. We apologize for the issues you encountered with the Wi-Fi and the presence of dead flies in the room. Your comments are valuable, and we will address these concerns to enhance our guests' experiences. We hope to welcome you back in the future.
Lovely clean, attractive, comfortable and well equipped apartment overlooking the sea in the West Cliff area of Whitby (just a 10 minute walk from the town centre). Property management staff were helpful and attentive. Our only gripe would be the requirement to take out insurance to cover potential breakages or to pay a non-refundable handling charge for a breakages deposit. Wireless details were out of date in the check-in information pack, however, the correct details are on the label on the back of the router (next to the sky box in the lounge).

Our stay.
Property inside was very spacious. Reasonably clean.
Unfortunately scaffolding surrounded the property. Although it was mentioned in the details it did have quite an impact taking out the outside space and car parking area.
Parking is available across the road which is free 7pm till 9 am.
The work on the roof should take about another 4 weeks.
Overall we had a nice stay. The company did knock 10% after we complained.
Lovely area made up for our small gripe.

Glad to hear you found the property spacious and reasonably clean. Apologies for the impact of scaffolding, though it was mentioned. Parking is available across the road for free during specific hours. The roof work should finish in about 4 weeks. We appreciate your feedback and offered a 10% discount as a gesture. We're delighted the lovely area made up for the inconvenience. Thank you for staying with us!
We had a wonderful stay at Sunset View. It’s located opposite the beach with an easy stroll to the old town and local attractions. The property is just lovely with great views and facilities. The booking process and information about the property were excellent. The parking space is perfect.
Whitby is super! We’d definitely come back!
