    “River Forge is a lovely property and suits our needs perfectly.”

    We have stayed there many times and hope to do so again in the future. Customer Service with Sykes however was dreadful,and we will avoid booking with them in future if possible.We received the wrong contact details for the owner and the secondary number for YCC just took us into a loop referring us to the website,which didn't answer our question.

    We have stayed there many times and hope to do so again in the future. Customer Service with Sykes however was dreadful,and we will avoid booking with them in future if possible.We received the wrong contact details for the owner and the secondary number for YCC just took us into a loop referring us to the website,which didn't answer our question. After several calls to Sykes and several different advises(total of one hour+ on the phone) we finally got the correct number.Sykes said that they were moving more into digital contact but in our opinion their systems are not able to cope with that yet.We wanted to know if we could get into the property earlier than 3pm.When we did eventually get to speak to the owner they were friendly and helpful,and we were able to get into the property early.Love River Forge,great owners but not Sykes.

The property

River Forge is duplex apartment set in an enviable position, overlooking the marina in the historic port of Whitby.

Set over three floors, this light and spacious property is perfect for family groups to enjoy time together in this popular and lively seaside resort.

Entry is via internal stairs that take you up to the spacious L-shaped sitting room, with large picture windows that open onto a balcony.

With stunning panoramic views over the marina, guests can relax and drink in the view, from where you will see brightly coloured boats bobbing up and down in the harbour.

In late afternoon the sun shines across the water and there are superb sunsets to enjoy; just imagine sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine on a balmy summer's evening.

With ample seating and a large dining area in the sitting room, there is plenty of space to spread out.

The well-equipped kitchen is to the rear and opens onto a steep shared terraced garden, with steps that lead up to a seating area and shed, again glorious views for the more energetic!

The four pleasant bedrooms are set over the top two floors, one with an en-suite shower room, whilst the family bathroom is on the first floor and an additional shower room on third floor.

The property benefits from private parking in the garage below, a rare find in Whitby, and there's free parking directly opposite the apartment.

Although in the heart of Whitby, the apartment is on the quieter side of the harbour, but a short walk brings you into the hustle and bustle of this charming town.

With the shops and amenities all at hand, you are ideally placed for exploring the quaint, narrow streets, the cobbled marketplace and Whitby's many restaurants and pubs.

Enjoy a cocktail in a harbourside bar, or partake in afternoon tea in one of the many tea rooms.

Whitby has much to offer, with its 199 steps leading up to the Abbey, museums, including Captain Cook memorial museum, and the pretty gardens in Pannett Park.

Alternatively, why not book a nighttime ghost walk, or a whale watching trip?

With the beautiful scenery of the North York Moors to discover nearby and numerous coastal and inland villages to visit, River Forge provides an ideal base, at any time of the year.

About the location

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.
