Two double bedroom flat with fantastic roof terrace overlooking Swing Brid

I think it is insulting to present the place as a two bedroom flat and in one put a futon bed instead of a proper size bed. I had to sleep in one of the bunk beds.

We have been booking this property for the last five year's, it's in a great location.

Fantastic apartment, great location, amazing terrace, clean and had everything you would need for a holiday. Can't find any negatives! We've stayed here on a few occasions and will be booking again in the future!

The flat was absolutely brilliant, the area it’s in was brilliant for our stay, unloading the car was easy the rooms where bright and very clean and it had everything you could possible need for a short stay.The stairs going up to the flat are quite brutal ( I’ve got a bad knee ) but it was outweighed by the veranda over looking the estuary.Will definitely be staying again and cannot recommend enough Mr Barrett

Stayed for 3 nights in May. Managed to park for free on arrival,bonus! Felt a little uncomfortable in the small entrance alley,it seemed quite dirty.The stairs up to the apartment door were cracked and the light was on a sensor which didnt come on until i was on the second step. After unlocking the apartment door the stairs leading up were a disappointing first impression, they were covered with a plastic protector which was dirty and torn.Once in the apartment it was comfy and well equipped if a little tired in places. Carpet needed a clean and some painting was needed. Beds were clean with nice linen. Roof terrace was impressive view wise.There was an upturned table and a storage box with no front on which was littered with a broken chair and various broken and mouldy bits of fishing equipment which spoiled the area. I didnt use the kitchen but it seemed really well equipped. There was a mix up with my booking,the property was double booked. John rang and because i was quite flexible with dates i was able to go later than planned. The stairs andand

The view goes without saying , quirky and everything i hoped and expected 👍 slept in the attic = great bed and pillows . Would stay again for sure

This property is wonderful, plenty of room and charm, right in the heart of Whitby, we were blessed with wonderful weather, and the terrace was amazing watching the boats come and go, we loved it and if ever in Whitby again would definitely choose to stay here, thank you John we will definitely be letting family and friends no about your beautiful apartment xx

We have stayed at this apartment three times now and we wouldn't think of staying anywhere else now,its in the heart of everything,cannot wait till next time.

John's apartment Swingbridge Lookout is an absolute must for a stay in the beautiful Whitby! Superb location enabling you to explore what Whitby has to offer and a chance to be immersed in this wonderful character of this bustling seaside town. The apartment itself is fantastic, super spacious, full of character, homely and very well equipped for those that enjoy the self catering style of break. I thoroughly enjoyed the various artwork and quirky Dracula ornaments positioned around the place! The roof terrace is most definitely the jewel in the crown for this place! Easily accessible from the living room area and a wonderful place to enjoy a morning cuppa or evening glass of wine watching the comings and goings over the Swingbridge and beyond. You really do get a 'bird's eye view' from here and can even see the steam trains pulling in and out of the station. I'd also like to point out how comfortable the beds are here and that is normally a problem for me in most places that we stay in. There was nothing nicer that waking up and popping your head through one of the skylight windows to see what the weather was doing or to see the lovely St Mary's Church up at the Abbey headland. I can assure you that you will not want to leave this fab place and can't recommend a stay here highly enough :-)

Perfect location, comfortable beds and furniture. Should make it clearer that no BBQs allowed on terrace before booking, or remove the pic of someone bbq'ing from images to avoid any misconceptions

This rental is all about location. It is in the heart of the town with a great roof terrace overlooking the town and estuary. Be aware there are 34 steps to the apartment (another 14 to the master bedroom) a bit onerous when unloading but worth it when you get there! However, parking is a nightmare!! It took 1 3/4 hours to find a space on arrival and we never did find a space in the ‘free’ road side parking. Hence we had to feed the meter every morning £9 a day! That was outside school holidays.
