Captain's Deck Beach Balcony | PerfectlySaltburn
Captains Deck is a very spacious 2 bedroom apartment with lovely views. the location is perfect for the beach and restaurants. weanaged to park outside the apartment. Beds were comfortable, everything you needed in the kitchen. Beautiful place to stay. the only negative is that we couldn't open the windows in the main bedroom as was crewed shut so this lead to a very uncomfortable hot 2 nights with no air in the room. Peter is very good at communicating and replied to all my messages straight away. Myself and my family loved out weekend away there and would definitely recommend to others.

2 Bedroom Sea View Apartment
We had a lovely few days at The Sands, lovely apartment, it had everything you would need, amazing views and fantastic location.

Boutique York City Centre Studio-Free Parking inc
Carolyns place is perfect for a trip toYork. Within walking distance to everything, but tucked away just outside the busy city center. Clean and comfy. Id stay again.

Modern & spacious harbour-view apartment & parking
This is a comfortable flat with lovely views over the river Esk. Easy to walk into the centre of Whitby with plenty of pubs and restaurants close by. It was well equipped, clean and tidy. We really enjoyed our stay.

A lovely York City centre apartment on the river.
This is an excellent base if you are visiting York. Its a really comfortable and well equipped apartment with a lovely view from the balcony.

The Boathouse Apartment in centre of York
Really great location on the river, not far from the station and really close to the historic heart of York.

“The Look Out” Characterful apart, harbour views
Amazing location and it is even larger than expected! The pictures do not actually do it justice. As others have said, there is a separate sitting room with a TV in it that connects to all major streaming networks easily and quickly. the Wi-Fi in the flat was not perfect but it was appropriate for the location. Besides, most people do not go to a beautiful place like Whitby and work like I did. There was public Wi-Fi available for free around the entire town of Whitby that was much faster. I ended up connecting to that as well. Fantastic communication and check in instructions! All in all, The Lookout completely exceeded my expectations - I will be back!

1 Bedroom Apartment - Fossgate Bridge York

The Boiling House, Beckside
Wow! What a beautiful cottage in Staithes. The beds were super comfy, beautifully decorated throughout with everything needed for a self catering stay. The host David, was really friendly and met us on arrival to show us around the cottage. He even dropped off a pack of cards later in the day as we had forgotten ours! Stunning views on opening the lounge doors to hear the birds nesting in the cliffs and watch the tide coming in. We will definitely be staying again, soon hopefully! Thank you

Turnerdale Cottage, nr Whitby, sleeps 6, dogs.
A super cottage in a beautiful , peaceful location overlooking the river. The cottage was comfortable, well equipped and very spacious for 4 adults. Cara was a responsive and helpful host. The location is perfect for getting to Whitby, the NE coast or the North Yorkshire Moors. We walked into Whitby on the beautiful riverside path, accessible and only 35 mins. We happily recommend.

Old WatchHouse spacious seaviews
The place is in a fantastic location with beautiful views across the harbour. The rooms are spacious, clean and homely. Great pub The Cod and Lobster has a great selection of beers and a huge Gin list. The food there is fantastic and reasonably priced. We will be going back next year and looking forward to staying at the Old Watch House again!!

River front house in the heart of the city of York
We stayed here for the weekend for our annual girls city trip. It was in an amazing location being right by the city centre and was a great price too. Louise was a great host always on hand providing clear instructions for check in / check out and offering to help with anything else we needed.

Hunroe Brow
Wow! What an amazing place this is. Just as seen on the pictures. Beautifully furnished, the hosts have thought of everything you might need for your stay. The location is right on the beach with access to Filey and other places only a short drive away. Vanda is a great host. She was really flexible with our requests for extra time to check out and responds quickly. We will be back!

Burnside Cottage
Fantastic! This was our first holiday away with our toddler, and it was perfect. There were toys and books available, as well as a travel cot and high chair. The private garden was appreciated to kick a ball around. The whole place was immaculate and Lora should be very proud of this place. Big bonus - during a heatwave, the bedrooms remained max 22 degrees (we bought our room thermometer from home). We kept the curtains closed all day and everyone slept well at night in the cool. The fish and chip shop up the hill provided us with a delicious takeaway for our first night. It was only 10 minutes drive to the local Lidl, and another 10 to Whitby town centre. We may well be back!

Classic Riverside Townhouse in city centre
Lovely riverside home. Short walk to the Rambles, the Minster, Roman Wall and more. Easy check-in and a very warm welcome! A wonderful experience for our group of 4 ladies. The view is AMAZING!

The Boat House - Powder Monkey
We had a lovely stay in monkeypowder. We loved the layout with the bedrooms downstairs and living area on the ground floor. The living room has great sea views and an area to sit and lookout. There is a huge comfortable sofa and great wallpaper of a view of Scarborough. The kitchen is modern and well equipped and a great space to enjoy a meal together. The bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds and a modern ensuite. The apartment was spotlessly clean and we loved the quirky furniture. Free parking was a bonus and a great location to explore Scarborough.

Belemnite Cottage -harbourside in heart of Whitby
We stayed here for four night at the start of the Summer 2025. The cottage is right on the pier in the middle of Whitby. We basically dropped the bags off parked the car and forgot about driving anywhere for the entire time we were at Whitby. Highly Recommended.

WoW amazing Sea Views,located on the Esplanade
Thank you for an wonderful stay. The view is beautiful from the living room. The apartment itself was clean, tidy and of generous size. The beds are comfortable, which helps with the amount of walking we did. Richard has made the apartment a home from home with everything you need!! We always forget something, this time is was a toothbrush charger and there was one to use in the bathroom. It is one of the best air b&b we have stayed at, we cannot wait to return. The gardens opposite were lovely to walk around before heading into town. It's a short drive down to Bempton cliffs, Filey (highly recommend cjs for fish & chips) and Cayton bay. The coffee van called Nova outside the apartment was perfect for when we needed a barista style drink. 9am flat white, the kids loved their milkshakes and the owner was super lovely 😀. It was perfect and we didn't want to leave! there is only 1 small negative and that's the pigeons squarking away from 5am every morning on the metal balcony. 😬

LoveYork | Penthouse Riverside Apt | Free Parking
Great views. Great location. Awesome amenities. You do have to climb 40+ steps, but it is totally worth it, but you have to be able to do it.

The Botanist's Hideout - Luxury Retreat + Parking
So good we stayed a third night! Easy walking distance of the main central attraction as you’re within the old city wall limits. Loved the decor and had everything we needed. Really enjoyed York!

Boutique Apartment Stunning Sea View, Sandsend
It's a lovely Flat in a beautiful location with fabulous views. Essential to know that bringing some supplies is essential as Sandsend doesn’t have a grocery or cornor store location. There are pubs and restaurants some of which are very nice.
