Comfortable family break in the heart of Whitby
Fresh, coastal decor. Very comfortable beds. Small, but well equipped kitchen. Absolutely perfect location.
Lack of car park space, but I believe it’s a common problem for the location. There’s a car park near by, but beware of timings.

Such a lovely property. Really comfortable bedrooms and living space and very well equipped with some nice personal gestures left as a welcome pack.

Beautifully decorated with a calming colour palette
Spotlessly clean and comfortably furnished. All mod cons. Great location with bars, restaurants and shops right outside but peaceful and quiet.
No parking but car parking available a few minutes walk away so not a major issue.

Finest retreats does what it says on the tin
General standard of finish. Comfortable beds. Brightly decorated. Kitchen fully kitted out, nice touch of fresh milk tea and coffee provided.
Perhaps a problem with the aerial but could not get any TV channels. Not a major issue as out all the time but others may find it an inconvenience.

Great location and beautiful place
Great location and beautiful place, overall had a great stay and would recommend
We were slightly put off by the number of additional charge warnings we received through the automated messaging as it prevented us from feeling fully relaxed.

Even better the second time round.
This was our second stay in the property and it was just as perfect as the first one. We love that the property is central, but feels peaceful, calm and private the minute you step inside. Spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and everything thought of. We can’t fault it and it has become part of our Whitby experience. We liked it all.

Totally enjoyed our stay at The Old Salt Loft
Very comfortable & extremely clean & well equipped. Perfect location, just a short walk into the main centre(about 5 mins) but far enough away to be nice & quiet. Nicely decorated for Christmas & New Year. Essentials - tea, coffee, milk & biscuits & of course loo roll provided until you can get to the shops. Also a big thank you to the lovely lady Mel who was extremely helpful & kind when we arrived.
Nothing - everything was perfect.

A super base for a lovely break in Whitby.
We enjoyed staying in the town so we could walk to everything we wanted to visit. The apartment was comforable and was beatifully decorated and resourced.
Our preference is for a firmer bed and pillows so we didnt sleep particularly well. The door was locked to the other bedroom which was surprising because we understood we were hiring the whole apartment. Had we been able to access the other bedroom we might have found those beds and pillows more to our liking.

Fijne vakantie! Het was soms koud door de noordenwind, maar we hebben ook vaak de zon gezien.
Het apartement is gezellig ingericht en heerlijk schoon. De keuken is compleet, fijne douche (de wastafel in de badkamer liep niet goed door), twee fijne slaapkamers verdeeld over twee verdiepingen hetgeen veel privacy geeft. De wifi-ontvangst is prima. Whitby is een gezellige plaats met veel toeristen. Prima busverbindingen naar Scarborough en Middlesbrough. Robin Hoods Bay is een mooi kustplaatsje.
Ik had graag iets meer handdoeken gehad. We hadden per persoon 1 grote en 1 kleine handdoek, maar we verbleven er een week. Volgende keer neem ik zelf een paar extra handdoeken mee.
