Trevor September 2024

“We stayed during September and found Explorers Rest to be a lovely clean, comfortable, and well positioned apartment only a 10 minute walk into Whitby.”

The secure parking was a real plus and indeed the welcome basket of treats were a lovely and thoughtful touch. Explorers Rest is certainly a 5 star property and we would most certainly return to enjoy a beautiful part of the country with the Yorkshire moors only a short drive away with many locations on the doorstep.

Katherine August 2024

“This apartment is really well equipped, very well situated and very comfortable.”

The walls must be well insulated as we couldn't hear anything from neighbouring flats. Thoroughly recommended!

David July 2023

“We loved our stay at Explorers Rest , this is one of our favourite holiday properties in Whitby, staying there on three separate occasions in recent holidays is testament to that.”

The location is great, the underground parking is also such a bonus as Whitby gets very busy and has very limited parking. The holiday property is a luxurious property in all aspects, very comfortable and excellent facilities and always spotlessly clean. The owners always make our stay very welcome with a very generous welcome pack and much information on local restaurants, bars , cafes and places to visit as well as providing important contact numbers from taxis to medical assistance if ever required. Top notch holiday apartment in our apartment in lovely location right opposite Pannet Park yet only 5 - 10 minute walk into Whitby ctre.

Thank you for your feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. We would be happy to host you in the future. Property Owner
Kerry July 2023

“Wow! what an amazing place!”

As a young couple on their first holiday together we really wanted a home from home and that's what we got. We were amazed with the cleanliness of the flat and how amazing it smelt. We were left with everything we could wish for and more. The welcome hamper and flowers was such a lovely touch. The location was perfect with a 5 minute walk from whitby and the train station, Whitby itself is beautiful with plenty of things to do, places to eat and drink. All in all would highly highly recommend to others!

Stephen July 2023

“A fabulous week in a beautiful apartment, so comfortable, we could not fault it , one of the very best we have stayed in .”

A lovely welcome basket and luxury toiletries was an unexpected bonus . Thankyou . The apartment block is an easy ten minute stroll into Whitby and with the added benefit of secure underground parking it was perfect for us . Everything that we needed for a really fantastic week , the apartment owners have really considered their guests and obviously take great pride in their property, it smelt gorgeous, was spotlessly clean , comfortable bed and beautifully furnished. I loved the chair by the window , lovely view . We loved Whitby , Pannett Park , a glass of wine and a beer in The Elsinore on our way home . The Magpie Cafe was superb . Goathland , York on the Park and Ride . Scarborough, Saltburn by the Sea , I could go on and on . Disappointed we hadn't booked two weeks . Will we return , absolutely

“A beautiful apartment.”

The welcome pack was wonderful. We had a couple issues but they were sorted out very quickly. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Hi June, Thank you for staying with us. We would love to host you again! Property Owner
John September 2022

“We really enjoyed staying in this apartment.”

It was equipped with everything we could possibly need and spotlessly clean. The welcome hamper was very generous, the best we have ever received in a holiday property. There is just one issue we would like to raise. That is the constant noise, mainly in the bedroom, of what we assumed to be the immersion heater. I notice previous guests have commented on it in the guest book and they thought it was a ventilation system. We couldn't find any evidence of such a system or we would also have turned it off. We got used to it after a couple of days but it did keep us awake on the first night. Apart from that we really enjoyed our stay and intend to book again when we next visit Whitby. Thank you. Susan & John.

- John, September 2022

Thank you for you feedback and I am glad that you had a good stay. We hope to host you again in the future. With regards to the noise mentioned, this is the ventilation system for the bathroom. We are required to have this system installed as per our lease agreement. The system can be adjusted (low/high) via a switch outside the bathroom next to the door. We have, following your stay, contacted an electrician to see whether a lower flow/quieter system can be installed. The unit which is in place is the best available interms of noise. Again, thank you for choosing to stay with us. Property Owner

“The apartment was fantastic it had everything we needed plus more.”

The garage was a bonus , the car stayed inside all week. We used local buses and did loads of walking to and from town. Whitby was always a day visit for us but the week we had was lovely. We would definitely book Explorers Rest if we were going back, and will recommend it to family and friends.

WHITBY

Robin Hood's Bay 5.5 miles; Scarborough 19.3 miles; Pickering 23 miles; Guisborough 21.5 miles.

The seaside town and port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire. Ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire, the local area hosts an array of activities so you can be sure to get the best out of both the countryside and the coast. From the nearby North York Moors to its Blue Flag beaches, there's something here for everyone. Amongst its many attractions, Whitby holds a charming atmosphere, home to winding streets and hidden alleys, where you can find a wide selection of eateries and shops scattered amongst them. 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. Close to the Robin Hood's Bay, rich in heritage, wonders and scenic spots, and in easy reach of the bustling towns of Scarborough and Middlesbrough, Whitby is a prime location for exploring all of the delights that Yorkshire has to offer.
