Kathryn October 2024

“Excellent property within walking distance of town centre.”

Very comfortable throughout. Also there are empty cupboards in the kitchen for your food which is a nice change in holiday let's. We would definitely visit again.

Ray May 2024

“The apartment was well kept clean and comfy.”

The only issue was the allocated parking access (which is difficult to get into this was no fault of the owner of the property) the advise given in the literature in the apartment was to park on a visitor parking spot if one was available. Good Advice otherwise a good location to the town.

Gwynn May 2024

“This is the second time we’ve been to this apartment, it’s perfect for us.”

Lovely and comfortable, with everything you could need for your stay. It has a designated indoor parking spot so you don’t need to worry about trying to park, and it’s easily close enough to walk into the town centre. Just far away enough for it to be lovely and quiet on an evening. Highly recommend this apartment, we’ll be back again and again I’m sure

“4th visit to Quayside lovely place”

JENNIFER November 2023

“A lovely quayside apartment, just a short walk from all Whitby has to offer.”

The private parking for one vehicle beneath the apartment block, means you can safely leave the car and enjoy Whitby on foot. The property was clean, well maintained and equipped for our short break. Whitby has plenty of lovely restaurants, cafés and pubs to suit all tastes. Its history and beautiful scenery will satisfy sightseers, as well as those looking for lovely walks right from the doorstep. We would certainly recommend Quayside Haven.

Sue September 2023

“An excellent apartment in a quiet area of Whitby overlooking the river.”

It was clean, cosy and very comfortable. The bed was amazing. The secure parking was an added bonus. Would recommend.

- Sue, September 2023
Ian September 2023

“The location was perfect and home from home.”

A short walk into town to all the shops and pubs. The only criticism we have is the bath/shower needs updating. We are in our mid sixties and very able bodied but struggled getting in and out of the bath to shower. It is typical bath height but either a safety handle to hold onto to get in/out would be a huge help, or remove the bath for a walk in shower. Apart from this the location was amazing.

- Ian, September 2023
Richard August 2023

“Just returned from a very enjoyable week at Quayside Haven.”

Quayside is very well situated with great walks on the doorstep - close enough to walk in to Whitby and far enough away to enjoy some peace and quiet. Kitchen was small but had everything we needed.and all was clean and comfortable, The only negative would be the parking. The space allocated is incredibly awkward to get in and out of - even with a small car. A larger vehicle would be a challenge in deed to park and exit the space. There are visitor spaces, but often occupied in high season. Despite this we had a great stay!

- Richard, August 2023
Charlotte August 2023

“Lovely and comfortable, the apartment was fantastic.”

Just as described with amenities and in a great spot for access to Whitby. It is great to have a parking space too. The beds were very comfy. The view across the Esk is amazing too. The perfect place to stay. The bedding, towels, bathroom suite were very clean. I understand the cleaning team will be very busy but could have just done with a little more attention to detail, the corners of the bathroom floor could have done with being cleaned properly and things on the kitchen work surface moved as there were crumbs under the microwave and on the table. But only a minor point. Altogether a superb place and we would definitely stay there again.

- Charlotte, August 2023
Jenny August 2023

“Had a lovely stay.”

Great location , short walk into town. Nice and quiet .The icing on the cake for us was seeing the steam trains and the activity on the the river. We were lucky with the weather which is always a bonus.

Thank you I am pleased you enjoyed your time in Whitby Property Owner
Martin May 2023

“A lovely place to visit and a great place to stay.”

Private off road parking was a real bonus. Lots of crockery and very well equiped.One heater in the rear bedroom seen a bit intermittent and could not switch for very long on ,might have been a faulty thermostat as it clicked on and did not heat up for very long. The reading light had the top lamp not working but everything else was great. Woth. The money for the location alone.

“The apartment was beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean & in a great location.”

As 3 friends we had a wonderful weekend & would recommend staying here to others, easy walk into the town centre & everything we needed at a reasonable price.

Thank you for your positive feedback we are pleased that you enjoyed it and look forward to seeing you in the future Property Owner
Rosemary September 2022

“Lovely apartment great view and well positioned, well decorated with lovely pictures.”

Bedside lamp broken by previous guests and needs to be replaced. We have recommended it to other friends and we hope to return ourselves. Thank you.

- Rosemary, September 2022

Thank you for your positive feedback and informing us of the bruken bedside lamp. We have now replaced it. Property Owner
Sheila August 2022

“The property was very clean and had everything you would need for our stay, the bed was very comfortable with plenty of storage space.”

loved looking out onto the river even though the steam train was not running still enjoyed watching the other trains going by. the added bonus was having secure parking behind locked gates. A short walk along the river and you were in town with plenty of things to do and lots of places to eat. Really enjoyed our stay and if we come back again would not hesitate to stay here again. collecting the keys was really straight forward.

- Sheila, August 2022

Thank you for your positive feedback Property Owner
Paul July 2022

“Wonderful apartment stunning view's very clean and the bed was one of the most comfortable beds we have slept in .”

Would definitely come back we have been to Whitby many times but first time at Whitehall Landing just perfect highly recommended. Thank you Paul & Elaine & Sue

- Paul, July 2022

Thank you for your comments. We look forward to hearing from you again. Property Owner
Elizabeth July 2022

“Perfect location and beautiful apartment, very well appointed and provided everything we needed.”

Very safe, secure & quiet location yet only a 10 minute flat walk into town.

- Elizabeth, July 2022

Thank you for your positive feedback, and hope that you will visit again. Property Owner
Andrew June 2022

“Great place to stay, very clean and the bed in the main bedroom is very comfortable.”

The location is perfect, just a few mins walk into the centre of the town. A dishwasher is provided although we didn't make use of it, maybe a washing machine might be more useful? Also I would suggest adding a reminder for people to sign out of their streaming services on the smart TV before ending their stay. All in all a very pleasant place to stay in a great location and we look forward to staying again.

- Andrew, June 2022

Thank you for your comments. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and look forward to your return Julie Property Owner
Kieran May 2022

“Very nice apartment in excellent location for walking into the town and exploring Whitby.”

Easy to find and instructions/details from Sykes were very clear. Would definitely stay here again when visiting the coast. Thanks.

- Kieran, May 2022

Thank you for your comments glad you enjoyed your stay . Property Owner
Diane March 2022

“Mostly positive feedback Well equipped apartment, very clean.”

Good location Nice big comfy bed in one room (zip beds put together} Not so comfy double bed in second room Good shower but needed to use the boost for extra water after only one shower. Need a clock in the main room We enjoyed staying here overall

- Diane, March 2022

Thank you for your feedback , In three years this is the only adverse comment about hot water . We believe the customer inadvertantly switched off the main off peak immersion heater. The switch for this heater is next to the boiler room light switch . We have installed a red warning label above this switch warning customers not to turn it off. Property Owner

“Would rather have a washing machine than a dish washer and a bigger fridge needed”

- Marilyn, October 2021

Hi we have taken note of the comments about the fridge and replaced it with a large fridge freezer Property Owner
Claire August 2021

“A very comfortable apartment in a fantastic location.”

Close enough to town but far enough away to have peace and quiet. Our children loved watching the steam trains going by every hour or so. The lack of washing machine was tricky for us but was the only downside.

- Claire, August 2021
Carol June 2021

“We spent the week walking the coastal section of the Cleveland Way and Quayside Haven was ideally placed for both bus stops and for exploring Whitby.”

It was a very comfortable and welcoming flat to return to each evening in a peaceful location with views over the river and Whitby town. The bedrooms are large with lots of storage space and the decor throughout is simple but attractive. We were sad to leave and hope to make a return visit.

- Carol, June 2021

Super location, everything spotlessly clean, easy to find and locate all entrance keys will certainly recommend and would not hesitate to go back

Lovely apartment overlooking the Esk River, great views of the steam train, just far enough out of Whitby centre to avoid all the hustle and bustle but only 10 minutes to walk there walk

- Joanne, September 2020
Mark August 2020

“We booked this as a quick getaway so expected a compact flat but actually all the rooms are a good size except the kitchen area!”

There needs to be more info put in prior to booking about how awkward the access to the allocated parking is. We were lucky and the space next to it was empty this week but we would have struggled to get into the space if it was occupied. We only have a medium sized car too. There really needs to be a washing machine in the flat, it's a must for a beach holiday. There is ample room in the boiler/store room and a water supply there too. The fridge is also poor, very small and too low down. This needs addressing especially with 4 people staying in the flat.

- Mark, August 2020
Denise July 2020

“Very comfortable flat has everything you need easy access to town Supermarkets near by”

- Denise, July 2020
Ian February 2020

“Well located, very well equipped clean apartment.”

The beds are extremely comfortable. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend or stay again.

- Ian, February 2020
John December 2019

“It would be advisable not to have feathers in the bedding, i e pillows, as my wife is allergic to feathers and down, a great shame really as the apartment was spotless and clean.”

The parking place is ideal for a mini or a Citroen c1. We were lucky there wasn't a car in the bay next to us otherwise it would have been very tight to park, but still a bonus to have a free parking place. Overall would recommend this apartment to anyone.

- John, December 2019
Colin October 2019

“Wonderful location - walking distance into town, fantastic view over the river to the steam trains chugging past - quiet, peaceful - absolutely wonderful!”

Will definitely return!

The property

In the lovely seaside town of Whitby, residing on the River Esk is this spacious apartment, Quayside Haven, boasting river views and picturesque scenery.

The property would be best suited for a family or friends, sleeping up to four people and with a zip/link option in one of the rooms to provide more flexible sleeping arrangements.

After a mostly flat walk back from the centre of Whitby, walk into the lofty apartment and into the open-plan living space, bringing the atmosphere with you with its views out to the boatyard on the river.

Bring some fresh fish and local Yorkshire produce back with you to the apartment and cook up a delicious meal for everyone in the modern kitchen space, while the group can keep you company from the sitting area thanks to this contemporary layout.

Move things over to the dining area for a quality sit-down meal and keep the good times flowing with a nice bottle of wine, before it's time to turn in for the night.

When sleep calls you, head over to one of the delightful bedrooms, with a double or a super-king-size to choose from, the latter having the option to convert to two singles with its zip/link abilities.

The property's bathroom lies just between these rooms, affording you both a shower and bath, while also included is an allocated parking permit for one car, a fantastic advantage as parking space is so sought after in Whitby!

Wander into town and over towards a real challenge; climb the 199 Steps up to St Mary's Church, home to the cemetery referenced in Bram Stoker's Dracula, to experience the sweeping views of the harbour and gorgeous coastline.

To see some of the creatures of the deep, hop on a Whitby Whale Watching cruise to go in search of whales, dolphins, seals and sea birds and if you're lucky you can see something incredible!

For a relaxing sunny day head into Pannet Park to enjoy the luscious green spaces, an elegant sunken pond and themed gardens.

For those that love having everything on their doorstep, Quayside Haven will be your ideal base to explore this charming town.
