We recently stayed at Driftwood Den in Whitby, we had a very enjoyable experience. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the accommodation had been thoughtfully equipped and well maintained. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and provided everything needed for a relaxing stay.
One of the standout features was the excellent self-catering facilities. The kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials, including a cooker, small hob, kettle, fridge freezer, and plenty of cutlery, plates, glasses, and cups. Whether you're planning to prepare simple breakfasts or full evening meals, you'll find everything you need. The bed was also exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep after busy days exploring Whitby.
The location is another major advantage. Situated just a ten-minute walk from the town centre, it provides easy access to Whitby's many independent shops, cafés, restaurants, and attractions. We particularly appreciated being able to leave the car behind and explore on foot. The famous Abbeys iconic 199 Steps are also only around fifteen minutes away, making it an ideal base for sightseeing.
During our stay there were a couple of occasions when neighbouring properties were a little noisy and were smoking something that drifted into the room. However, it is worth noting that these were not connected with the accommodation itself or the landlord's guests. In fact, the landlord was excellent throughout our stay. On the one occasion an issue arose, he responded almost immediately and was on hand within minutes to help resolve it. This level of customer service was greatly appreciated and gave us confidence that any concerns would be dealt with quickly and professionally.
The only significant downside was parking, and it was a big downside. It was a nightmare, finding a space proved challenging and, on arrival, it took us around an hour to secure one. In the end, we had to park on the opposite side of the estuary and wait for a space to become available. We went for a drive the next day and took even longer to find a space on our return. That said, we visited during the school half-term holidays when Whitby was exceptionally busy, so this may be far less of an issue during quieter periods of the year. Note it is over £13 for 24 hours which is something you may need to budget for.

The cottage is small and cosy and is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need for 2 people. It is not far from the town to walk. Will deffo be back had a lovely stay
I would like to have the keys ready in a safebox rather than going to the pub to collect but not a massive deal.
