Brilliant location. Good parking spot round the back, kitchen fully stocked but no dishwasher tablets. Bedrooms were comfortable but the lamps had been damaged by a previous customer and did not work. Great place to stay overall

Clean and modern, beds comfortable

1. It is definitely more than ten minutes walk to the centre, unless your young and fit, as an elderly couple and their disabled daughter it was at least double this which meant getting taxis, as the bridge was closed these were £8 to get into town twice a day and no busses. 2. We booked as this was all ground floor but its no good for people with mobility problems. Three steps to get in with no rail, all the door thresholds were a trip hazard as they were uneven. To be fair it does not claim to be for the disabled. 3. Lots of little things. No shower mat, complicated TV, no bins in the bedrooms, no teatowel to dry dishes, no clock, drawers in one room but no wardrobe. Wardrobe but no drawers in the other. No plugs near the mirrors or anywhere to sit and do makeup etc, nowhere in the bathroom to put anything, like a shelf or shower caddy, soap dish etc. 4. We had to contact host and stay as no instructions on how to use the heating, guide said a handheld thermostat but there wasn't one, its actually a dial on the wall. 5. The sofas were awful. Gruby and so uncomfortable, unable to sit on them for any length of time. 6. None of the nice touches like teabags, toiletries (despite saying there was) etc. We've stopped in many whitby apartments and this wouldn't take much to make it much better. Maybe if the owners spent a night there to 'snag it' they'd see all the little things
