2 bedroom Apartment - Fossgate Bridge York
The location was perfect, easy to find and walkable to lots of shops and restaurants. We will definitely be back.

Boutique York City Centre Studio-Free Parking inc
We had a great stay at the appartement. Great for a weekend trip. Is on the ground floor and has a step free side entrance that’s accessible for wheelchair users. Lovely location next to the river. Would definitely stay again!

3 Bedroom Superior Sea View
I would throughly recommend this fantastic apartment, parking and check in was easy and the apartment luxurious and spacious. Views stunning.

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.

Seabreeze flat- 2 min walk to the North beach.
Had a two night stay here; from start to finish, with booking, checking in, and leaving, everything was perfect. No issues at all, and Samantha was just a message away for any queries. Very comfortable bed, the heaters warmed the place in minutes, two toilets (one ensuite in the bedroom) was amazing, and the kitchen had everything to hand. Beach is very close by, plenty of shops just along the road. Highly recommend xx

A lovely York City centre apartment on the river.
Wow what a fantastic apartment, right in the heart of the city! We were able to walk to all the main attractions we wanted to see - nowhere was more than 5 minutes away. Chris was super-helpful and we could tell he wanted us to enjoy our stay, and communication was great from the moment we booked to the time we left. The apparemtment itself was comfortable for our family of four, with all the facilities we needed. We had a lovely view of the river and the Merchant Adventurers Hall and we enjoyed relaxing in such a quiet environment. I would highly recommend this accommodation for anyone visiting York. Thank you Chris, we loved our stay and hope to be back again one day!

“The Look Out” Characterful apart, harbour views
I had a lovely stay at The Look Out! The location is great - it’s just down the road from the 199 steps, as well as plenty of shops, pubs, cafes and of course fish & chips! Andrea was always quick to respond to queries and even reached out to check I’d settled in OK. This was a lovely, cosy place to return to after a long day exploring, with fabulous views of the harbour. If (when) I return to Whitby I’ll definitely book to stay again!

City Centre Riverside Apartment
Exactly as described. Great location and beautifully furnished apartment. Excellent check in instructions. It’s one of the best Airbnb rentals we’ve ever had. Totally recommend

The Boiling House, Beckside
We really enjoyed staying at the Boiling House in the picturesque village of Staithes. Our host David welcomed us and showed us around the property, which was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We have two dogs and it was great exploring the local area and beaches with them. I would definitely recommend the Boiling House. Thank you David.

Old WatchHouse spacious seaviews
Had a lovely stay at the Old Watch House. Great views of the harbour. Staithes is a beautiful place. You do need to be fit to handle the hill out of the village and also paths around the village itself to get the best out of the area. Of the house itself it was everything we needed the only thing I would ask is that Clare considers replacing the sofas in the sitting room. Well used and quite uncomfortable after a short period of time in them. However the house was clean and well appointed. Bathrooms were lovely and clean and modern. We were very happy with the booking and house. We had a lovely family holiday with our teenage kids.

Stunning sea views!
Saw dolphins leaping in April from the living room window! That's hard to beat. Cottage is clean, in a super location and easily walkable to all the key things to do in the village. Quiet at night and great to sit in the living room at night looking over the sea. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you.

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!

Classic Riverside Townhouse in city centre
This house was fabulous, we loved the views onto the river and sat outside the front watching the world go by in the sunshine. It was close to the shops, pubs etc and the Minster was a 10 mins walk away. We would definitely book this house again and Maria was an excellent host, we never had to wait for a reply to a question. I would recommend this house, especially for a group. 👍🏻😊

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.

Cosy 2 bedroom river/coastal retreat in whitby
Lovely, cozy little place in a nice, peaceful location with convenient walking access to Whitby via the Cinder Trail, and a very short drive from local Supermarket. We appreciated the pool. We also enjoyed ducks wandering around the site, and hearing the hoot of an owl in the evening.

Sea View 5 Bedroom Holiday Let on the Yorks Coast
What an amazing place! We stayed with extended family and loved the open plan area so we could all be together, but also the quieter snug area with real fire. Rooms were very well presented, some with spectacular views. The property is in a quiet area but just a short drive to shops and petrol station. Runswick Bay and Sandsend are two of our favourite spots for walking and just a few minutes drive away. We all loved this property and hoping to book again for next year. I have no hesitation in recommending it.

Belemnite Cottage -harbourside in heart of Whitby
It’s a great place to stay and so close to all amenities including public transport. Once inside away from the crowds it was peaceful with a great view of the river

Beautiful Sea Views. Whitby location, near beach
Amanda's place was lovely and peaceful very clean and spacious. Within walking distance from Whitby Town centre and Whitby Abbey so close enough for the hustle and bustle of Whitby but close enough to return for the amazing views peace and quiet. Amanda was very helpful with all the questions I asked and there was plenty of ideas in folder left in flat. As I'm guessing if you go to Whitby you also have an idea on what you want to do but always helps when some ideas are in folder, that are different. Plenty of eating areas and coffee shops plus plenty of bars and restaurants. If you can manage the 199 steps there's a Whitby brewery at the top which is amazing as well. Everywhere we went into people and locals were polite and friendly. Amandas apartment was perfect peaceful, spacious and quiet located on first floor accessible either by stairs of a lift. Thank you so much for using your apartment
