Accommodation was perfect, tastefully decorated and everything you might need was provided. I wouldn’t hesitate to book there again. Great base for exploring Whitby also.

We had a good stay at Royal Crescent. Great central location, close to beach and town centre. Great that it has allocated parking as we stayed during Regatta weekend so it was very busy! The flat is very spacious and well equipped. It was quite dark and cold due to it being basement level at the front, but it was nice to come back to after being out in the hot August sun. Great communication from owner, would stay again!
