Excellent week in Harbour retreat, very comfortable, very clean especially during these Covid times.. The apartment was well stocked to a high standard with everything you could want. Good position for walking into Whitby, about a 15 min gentle stroll to the swing bridge in the middle and all the restaurants, but you are away from all the bustle and noise. Great position to watch the steam train each day, about 4.30 it stops straight opposite the lounge window with whistle blowing and plenty of steam, a highlight. Would certainly recommend this property to anyone thinking of visiting Whitby

On arrival apartment cold as there was no heating on.. No hot water for 24 hours as immersion heater only switched on at night on economy 7. Welcome pack very poor (when compared to previous visitors) small carton of milk tea coffee sachets mini pot of jam and 2 packets of biscuits which were past use by date. Duvet on double bed was not big or warm enough. Overall apartment ok but wouldn't book again if returned to Whitby.

Mrs Dicker

This apartment was everything it said in the write up.. Loved looking out on the river and watching the steam train going by. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything need for our break. Just a short stroll along the river and you were in the town with plenty to do and stunning views. Mrs Robinson met us on arrival with milk and home baked scones which we really appreciated after a long journey.

Great location, and amazing views

Mr Robinson

August 2018

The apartment is ideally situated on the east side of the estuary, this was a real bonus as Whitby was very busy during our stay, yet we could come & go with ease.. The apartment is well equipped, quite modern & has a lovely view over the estuary, we never tired of watching the tide ebb & flow and the steam train entering & leaving the station. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this apartment.

Dr Jones

The flat had a dishwasher, but I think the space would be better used by a washing machine!

Mr Patterson

The flat was great and so was Whitby..

Mr Baxter

May 2018

We found the bed terribly uncomfortable.. We are used to a firm mattress and the one in the cottage was very soft. I recognize that it very difficult to please everyone.

Mr Bach

Very comfortable, well-equipped apartment with riverside views - a thoroughly enjoyable stay..

Mrs Bradley

April 2018

We loved Whitby! Such a pleasant week, made all the better by having this comfortable, clean and tastefully furnished apartment to come home to each day. It was an easy, flat walk into town from Whitehall Landing, which we enjoyed each day. The buses to Middlesbrough and Scarborough ran regularly and it was a great trip through the Yorkshire moors. Goathland is a definite must for Heartbeat fans and Guisborough is well worth a visit. Thank you Electra for your warm welcome.....we would love to come back!

Miss Price

Mrs Robinson accepted this last-minute booking, which really helped us out as we had been let down with the accommodation we'd had booked before.. She was pleasant and helpful and the place was very comfortable.

Mrs Garner

Dear Mrs Robinson, Many thanks for your hospitality whilst we stayed in the Harbour Retreat.. It's a lovely place in a great location, the weather was just the icing! We look forward to booking again, Kind Regards, Mark and Hilary Clemson

A peaceful and relaxing property within easy reach of the attractions, pubs and shops. The welcome from the owner on the phone and her assistant who welcomed us at the property gave us assurance that everything was going to be good. We used it as a base to explore the local area, and further afield along the coast and inland. We have returned home, relaxed and refreshed. We both would definitely re-book if and when we decide to visit Whitby and will recommend it to our family and friends.

when booking it was dealt in a friendly and efficient manner asking what our requirements were. the apartment was first rate with lift and close proximity to town center. we especially liked this side of the river with views towards the harbour and the steam train to view from the window . restaurants were great and the tour bus a great plus dropping and picking up as required. a delightful place to stay and will definitely be back in the near future .

The property was spacious, well appointed and beautifully clean. It was just far enough away to be in a quiet location but close enough to easily walk into the town centre. Very handy for Sainsbury's supermarket which also has the lowest petrol prices.
