Trip Details
The Space
Routh Walk has a simple colour palette. With fresh white walls throughout, each room then brings a pop of colour through the furniture and soft furnishings.
The open plan living, dining and kitchen area is a bright airy space. Featuring a navy corner sofa and glass top coffee table with abstract wall art, you can enjoy a movie night in front of the smart TV or enjoy some local produce from The Whitby Deli with a glass of something sweet.
The property features a u-shape high gloss kitchen with grey metro tiles. Fully equipped with everything you should need for your stay, the kitchen features a ceramic hob, electric oven, microwave, fridge and Nespresso coffee machine.
The extended island from the kitchen is home to four wooden stools, creating a relaxed dining space. If you are visiting to use the property as a base for work the island can double up as a desk.
Routh Walk features two bedrooms. The first bedroom features a king size bed with a beige studded, upholstered headboard, two marble top bedside tables and marble and copper bed lamps. The soft furnishings and artwork add a touch of colour to the room with burnt orange and earthy tones.
The second bedroom features a double bed with a bright sunshine yellow upholstered headboard, round wooden chest bedside tables and ceiling drop lights hanging at either side of the bed. With an abstract wall art montage and paint stroke decorative cushions.
The modern bathroom features a walk in shower, high gloss vanity unit, WC and matt charcoal coloured towel rail. With grey metro tiles and wood effect floor.

Neighborhood
Routh Walk is located just a few steps away from the iconic Flowergate, in the centre of Whitby. You will find the flurry of shops, restaurants and bars just a few steps from the front door.
The Blue Flag West Cliff beach and promenade is just a 5-minute walk from the apartment. The famous Trenchers is nearby where you can try traditional Whitby fish and chips! On Pier Road, you’ll find nostalgic arcades which are fun for all ages..
The opposite side of Whitby is full of narrow, medieval streets dotted with boutiques and pubs. Sample the catch of the day in one of the fish restaurants or visit one of the traditional sweet shops for all your candy needs.
Climb the famous 199 steps up to the Church of Saint Mary and the renowned ruined Whitby Abbey, which was the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s gothic novel ‘Dracula’.
Step outside of Whitby and you’ll uncover a haven of woodland and moorland. Whitby forms part of the North York Moors National Park so it’s the perfect place for long walks.
Getting Around
Routh Walk is located in the centre of Whitby so the town can easily be explored on foot.
Whitby train station is just a short 10-minute walk away so villages and towns along the North Yorkshire coast can easily be reached via rail. There’s also a taxi rank in close proximity to the train station.
There are plenty of bus routes throughout Whitby. Hop on the X4 and you can visit beautiful coastal villages like Sandsend, Runswick Bay and Staithes. The X93 travels along the coast to Scarborough. The 95 route features plenty of quaint villages, such as Grosmont and Lealholm.

Good location and well equipped. A warm property.<br/><br/>Just a little short on seating in the lounge for four off.

Overall acceptable. Good size bedrooms. Poor cleanliness really let's the place down. Also lots of bits that need freshening up like the carpets and flooring in the bathroom.<br/><br/>Place had clearly only gets superficially cleaned between guests. Badly in need of deep clean-cobwebs all over the light fittings, dusty, blind in main bedroom didn't close properly, carpets need cleaning and flooring in bathroom very scruffy. Entrance hall very messy...looks like a student bedsit with piles of unopened mail. <br/>I don't think it was clear how difficult access would be from the information online when we booked. Street very small and no car access to even drop stuff, very steep stairs inside front door. Very tricky to get large cases up and buggy/pram access would be very difficult.

Great location but the flat was mucky. Had dog hair on the floors, scuff marks so hadn’t been mopped. Thick dust on the shelves and lights and black mould on the windows. It is a great location but was mucky which ruined our one and only night stay there

It was in a good position.<br/><br/>The fact that you had to buy an insurance against damage bond and only find out how much it cost after payment which you weren't able to cancel. <br/>Also there is a flight of steep stairs up to the flat which was hard to navigate. The windows in the bedroom was very narrow and would be difficult to climb out of if there was a fire, the fire blanket in the kitchen has not been folded away properly. There is a chip in the bathroom sink and the hall carpet is stained.

Excellent modern, comfortable apartment in terms of layout, location and facilities. Generally clean and well presented (apart from a couple of key areas).<br/><br/>The hallway carpet to the apartment is filthy - it really should be replaced with hard flooring as per the kitchen/lounge. It’s a bad first impression. Also the sofa is dirty in places. The shower is quite weak which isn’t helped by the fact that the hose was broken and the red piece of electrician’s tape that was wrapped around it didn’t really help. You can get a new hose for about £5 so I’m not sure why this hadn’t been attended to.

We loved the Apartment`s location. It's very spacious & clean and dog friendly which was an added bonus.<br/><br/>The host could have provided a few little extras like washing up liquid, scourer, more than 1 dishwasher tablet, dust pan & brush & more loos rolls for 4 guests.

Had it been cleaned, the apartment would be basic but OK.<br/>The central location was ideal.<br/><br/>On arrival, there was not a single sheet of toilet paper anywhere (not great when you arrive late on a Friday night), a.nd the room was full of dog hair, on the settee, all over laminate floors and on carpets in every bedroom. Coffee machine covered in dust with one coffee pod to share between four of us. Further more no sign of parking permit that was promised, and just to cap the weekend off on Saturday night, the TV cabinet fell off the wall. Luckily, nobody was injured.

Very modern. Liked the app for the welcome and info<br/><br/>Standard of cleaning was poor. Bathroom in particular felt dirty. The lino was ingrained with stains and hadnt been cleaned around the door and bin where there was hair and dirt. Also there was a stale smell of cigarettes in the bathroom that lingered and never went away. We are not smokers and this had an even bigger impact on us.

The fact that the flat was in a good vicinity to everything we wanted to do it was good not having to use the car for a few days<br/><br/>The flat was dirty and slightly musky smelling. Wr got the impression that the cleaners just come in walk round and then go. The settee was stained the telly didn't work. To say it had been updated well it hasn't been touched for years. There was thick dust on all the skirting boards the carpets were dirty the tap in the kitchen didn't run hot water. The bed we slept in was broken.personally I think the company had a cheek asking for 250.00 pounds we certainly will not be using that business again the outside of the flat had been used as a giant ashtray somebody had left rubbish bags outside the flat seagulls attacked it and rubbish was strewn all over the place

The property has been recently modernised with nice flooring and wall tiles and was very quiet and comfortable, we don’t cook when we go away but the kitchen looked more than adequate.<br/><br/>Little things like loose toilet seat and no curtains to block the morning light, let the place down a bit.

Great location, comfortable beds and good sized apartment.<br/><br/>My only small gripe is that there was no scratch card for parking in the apartment despite asking ahead for this. Same happened when we stayed there before but we didn’t need it that time. It was delivered when I rang though.

La amplitud del lugar. La ubicación. La rápida respuesta cuando he contactado. El pueblo en el que está es maravilloso. Los servicios como la wifi, los muchos enchufes por todo el aparramento, la luz del lugar, las amplias ventanas... el equipo en la cocina no falta de nada. Zona muy tranquila, se duerme bien sin ningún ruido.<br/><br/>No estaba limpio a fondo: el horno estaba usado y sin limpiar, la moqueta del pasillo estaba muy, muy sucia y daba muy mala impresión al entrar así como las ventanas. Había algún cabello en la cama y en la ducha. Es como si hubieran pasado a limpiar con prisa. Saqué fotos y las envié y me dijeron que si yo quería podían pasar a limpiar.<br/>No tiene lavadora.<br/>No había champú/gel de ducha.

Location<br/><br/>Would not reccomend and Host & Stay apartment - rubbish company and rubbish accommodation<br/><br/>Wish we’d seen the recent reviews and cancelled, would not recommend, would not stay again. We stayed 28/7-30/7 but I am not able to write this review until 9/8 as they take and hold a £250 damage deposit for such a long time, I had to wait until it was refunded before writing a negative review for fear they would keep it!<br/><br/>As a family born and bred in Whitby, we are so disappointed to think this is the first impression visitors are receiving to our lovely town.<br/><br/>After moving away, we often visit family and stay in great places. We booked here last minute as it was cheap, the pictures looked nice, and it had a decent rating…wish we’d looked properly into the rating and reviews that appeared after we booked!<br/><br/>The ONLY pros are the location and the kitchen space is a decent size.<br/><br/>Here are all the cons, which you’ll see most other reviews have also stated.<br/>- Firstly, the most annoying and ridiculous, is the above mentioned deposit. You cannot check into the apartment without paying a £250 deposit plus an additional non-refundable £10 administration fee. Admittedly, I would have queried this earlier but it is my own fault as I missed the emails as I use a different account for booking.com. On the day of our check in I was looking at how to access the property and found these emails. You then have to fill out a form and then pay the deposit and the admin fee - why am I paying you an admin fee when I’m the one doing all this admin?! They request this deposit from two weeks before check in, but this is then not returned to you until 7 working days after you check out. Three+ weeks without £250 of your own money? This is ridiculous as any checks for any damage should be done as you check out before anyone new checks in, and they do not need to request it that early!

Great where it was situated . Carpark nearby . Comfy beds . Clean bedrooms .<br/><br/>Grubby elsewhere other than the bedrooms. The entrance hall made me want to leave as soon as we opened the front door. Post on the floor. Dirty staircase . Throw on the sofa needs binning . Gross:( bathroom dirty . Floor disgustingly mucky. The vinyl needs binning too ! Grout needs cleaning . Didn't want to use the shower or toilet even . Back of it was filthy . Would we stay again . No . Needs a good clean and bits replacing .

The property was in a good area to walk into town and the beach<br/><br/>Well.... where do I start <br/>The modern taps in the kitchen and bathroom didn't work we had to boil the kettle when we need hot water!! <br/>The toilet seat wasn't the right size <br/>No washing machine <br/>One of the bedrooms had slats broken on the base of the bed. It was also stained!! <br/>Pillows were stained <br/>The bed side table had broken legs and leaning against the wall to hold it up <br/>No wardrobe or draws to put our clothes in <br/>The sofa wasn't that comfortable and had stains on it <br/>There were way to many ceiling lights in the kitchen/ lounge, too bright! <br/>We didn't receive a parking pass and had to find a carpark and pay for 2 days over 24hr period on both days. We did ring Host and Stay and they said they would re-emberse us. That hasn't happened!! <br/>Only one bin bag. <br/>It is such a shame that there were these issues as it was in an area that we could walk to the town and beach. I don't think we will come to this property again. A dissappointing property really. The photo's of the property looked appealing, but in reality it wasn't up to standard.

Originally may have been a lovely property in a great location, and a good size, but has not been maintained or kept clean. <br/>The flat was so filthy we had booked for two nights, but only stayed one. Webs and thick dust on windows, sills and furniture. Broken and unsafe furniture (bedside cabinets, shelves, bins). The carpets and sofas were covered in stains, so we avoided sitting on them. Electric tap which wouldn’t work so cold water in the kitchen. The bathroom was the dealbreaker: filthy floor, extractor fan covered in so much dirt that mould was growing on the tiles around it. Grime in the shower washing away into the shower with me. Rusty fittings in the bathroom. Towel rail covered in dust. <br/>Have never stayed anywhere as grubby as this. A shame as it has the potential to be a nice property. <br/>Communication with host & stay was inconsistent (different people responding) and at times dismissive. They offered a reclean but needs a deep clean and some serious maintenance instead.

the space was nice and although the kitchen was small it did have everything you needed.<br/><br/>the communal hallway stunk of mould which was quite disgusting. the internet was so slow it did not work,also no mobile signal either. they left one roll of toilet paper for 4 people for a two night stay and did not leave any soap in the bathroom. the electric taps were impossible to get any hot water with, I had to boil a kettle to wash my face at night.

Kitchen well equipped and functional. Living/dining area is comfortable. Bedrooms nice and cosy. Whole apartment clean and tidy<br/><br/>Service from housekeeping in regard to leaving parking scratch cards was negligent resulting in us having to pay out £18 for pay and display parking. We had no idea when the cards would be delivered as we were told they would be there Monday morning. This never happened and it was not until later in the afternoon that they were deposited into the key safe. This was too late for us to use them and was forced to use the Council car park again

The property was in a very good location.<br/>The cleanliness of the property bathroom was in need of a good clean. The vinyl floor in the bathroom was very dirty. The tiles in the shower were black mould ..the shower head was again black. The need to scrub the bathroom before using it was definately something we had to do. The hallway carpets with full of stain as was the sofa in the living room. The bedrooms were the best rooms very clean simple amd comfy beds. <br/>The tap in the kitchen was not working...four adults could not get the tap to give hot water. A simple tap would be a suggestion.

good location. comfortable beds. most of what we would need was in the apartment<br/><br/>The shower head and shower wall were very dirty and no hot water in kitchen or bathroom taps. both of these concerns it seems have been raised over the past two years and not attended to. The digital control on the taps is not functioning. Also no information on the use of the microwave that was a struggle to use. For a four person apartment there is only space for three people to sit in the lounge area. I would imagine that parking a vehicle in the summer would be a nightmare

Central location, good facilities including Sky TV<br/><br/>Only given 2 day parking permit for 3 night stay, hot water did not work in kitchen, toilet seat dirty when arrived, bathroom fan dusty, living room furniture flimsy. Contact afterwards suggesting that we pulled a radiator off the wall absolutely ruined our experience and will never use this property again. Feel insulted and treated like children, did not use the radiators and when challenged back did not say which radiator and it was fixed. I think we would have noticed if a radiator had fell off the wall.

The property was nicely furnished and had everything needed for a short stay. in a really nice location just a few minutes walk from the harbour.<br/><br/>The only slight niggle was that 3 bags of linen and rubbish was left in the apartment when we got there and although I contacted the owners about it, it wasn’t collected when they said it would. There was also no parking scratch card as advertised however when I contacted the owners, they immediately arranged for the parking we paid for to be reimbursed.

Routh Walk was a 4star stay for us and our 80+ year old father. it would have been 5star but for the very steep stairway to the level 1 flat, and the fact the it was missing promised teabags + coffepods and needs a solid scrubbing from wear and tear.<br/><br/>Also the name of the laneway and flat are the same; save yourself the issue of wandering up and down looking for the number as the flat is on the left near the laneway entry.<br/><br/>It was terrific to be a nearby (but steep) walk to the waterfront and it is only a few blocks from Whitby's famous whalebone arch, right next to shops + pubs too.<br/><br/>The bedrooms were larger than expected and comfy beds. The expected small bathroom was unexpectedly echo-y and be aware that anyone in the lounge can hear ablutions. The lounge is quite small but then again why are you staying inside instead of enjoying the sites and sounds of the town?<br/><br/>Kitchen was unexpectedly biggish and would have been good to have had info to local grocers. There is an info kit which was helpful.

Fantastic location in Whitby with plenty of cafes and places to eat on the doorstep. <br/>Lots of space and a very comfortable apartment with great beds and a fully equipped kitchen and boutique style bathroom. <br/>All TV needs catered for too. <br/><br/>Quite steep stairs from the street to the first floor so be aware if you’re not too good on your legs. <br/><br/>Thoroughly enjoyed staying here and it’s minutes from the seafront without being noisy.

large living rooms, kept clean<br/><br/>The apartments are heated by electric heaters. We arrived late in the evening, it was very cold, it took 8 hours for the room temperature to reach a comfortable level. It would be nice if the staff turnn on the heating earlier before the arrival of guests in the cold months. Extra blankets would come in handy. We had problems with the toilet blocked, but thankfully the maintenance team reacted quickly and fixed the fault within 30 minutes.

The property is in an excellent location, central to Whitby and on a quiet side street. It is clean and tidy. Very nice touch that there was tea coffee and a pint of milk provided<br/><br/>Very noisy from adjoining properties. Absolutely no sound proofing at all. When the occupants below sneezed it sounded like they were sitting right next to us. This obviously ruined our peaceful enjoyment as you could hear absolutely everything in the flat below

Everywhere was very clean and comfortable.<br/><br/>The entrance stairs were very steep and unfortunately there was a leak so had buckets on then which made it a bit of a risk getting up and down

Nothing<br/><br/>This place is really not very nice at all. <br/>I can’t get the taps to run hot water - and as I have a circulation problem this has been deeply unpleasant to wash this morning. <br/>There is a dreadful smell of sewage. <br/>All in all very grubby, cold and uncomfortable. The carpets were filthy, the building sinks smelt also. The bed was awful, I had requested a feather pillow, but was told this was not possible. So thankfully took my own. I was charged an additional amount to park at the ‘free’ parking which was too far away, and on an ad-hoc set up. This wasn’t made clear at all. How can we rectify this? It was a great location - Whitby - but it needs to have someone look at the failings here. Finally the loo paper was like sandpaper. Just a very unfortunate experience.

Lovely and cosy apartment in the heart of Whitby! The beds were so comfy and the kitchen was well-equipped.<br/>So much detailed information for check-in and parking which was great.

The property was modern good location would stay there again<br/><br/>Didn’t like that the grill was dirty not been cleaned which the cleaning staff should have checked. The stairs up to the property had a fusty and dam smell, needs some air freshers

Steep stairs to access the apartment. Entrance not nice and mouldy smell. We were only left a parking scratch card for 2 days when we were staying for 4 nights.<br/><br/>Comfy beds. Great location.

The apartment it's self was very nice. Well equipped and nicely decorated.<br/><br/>When you walk in the front door the smell of mould and damp is shocking and when you look up at the top of the stairs there are massive patches of mould and damp. Not nice at all.

Flat was well kitted out and very comfortable.<br/>Location was great.<br/><br/>Entrance hall was a bit cramped and damp. Having the main street door locked with no quick fire escape seemed a bit risky.

The furnishings of the apartment were great - modern and comfortable. The bed was comfy and the duvet / pillows were good quality. <br/>There were some issues with our stay as described below and I informed the letting agent - they were very polite and helpful. There was also a lot of information prior to arrival that was very useful. <br/>Therefore even considering the issues, we would stay with this agent again.<br/><br/>There were some items of cleanliness that we didn’t think were up to scratch for the cost of the property. The oven was very dirty, dusty headboard, torn towel and very dirty shower head. The accommodation is on the high price point for Whitby (we visit every 2 months staying in different places) so we expected a higher standard of cleanliness. <br/>In addition, there were no drinks facilities on arrival - there was 1 teabag and no sugar in the pots. <br/>The stairs were quite steep to the accommodation.

I'd just advise anyone booking this apartment to read the booking conditions, as I am fully vaccinated but tested positive for covid 2 days before our stay and was told we couldn't change the date or get any refund, personally I think this is bad form in covid times. I personally wouldn't book this apartment again but will always book one with flexibility.

Everything! very comfy beds and well equipped kitchen. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or return<br/><br/>water leak dripping very heavily onto the stairs in the common hallway area (NOT in our apartment) when it was raining. Very helpful staff - understand it’s on the list to be repaired. And suggest to mention to future guests to bring their own coffee/Nespresso pods for the coffee machine!!

Really great and well located place. Very stylish and incredibly comfortable beds and we spent snoozey evenings very happily in the flat. A little milk had been left for us to make a much needed cuppa on arrival. For those that don’t know Whitby, Routh Walk is just off Skinner St, which has a few lovely eateries, Botham’s (the bakery of dreams) and is at the top of Flowergate which leads down to the swingbridge and the Old town. The scratch card for parking was a godsend as Whitby is notoriously tricky for parking.

Overall the property is clean, very well equipped, and in a great central location. The bed was comfy but the blinds let light in so we woke quite early each day. There are unnecessary mod cons such as electric taps and the heating wasn't very effective. Would recommend a trip to Robin Hood's Bay.

Beautifully furnished two bedroom apartment in Whitby town. Comes with everything you need for a relaxed stay and spotlessly clean. Car parking in the high season is impossible near the apartment. We had to park at the main car park at the bottom of town for our entire stay. This means you have quite a steep climb to the apartment from the harbour so bear this in mind if you are someone with mobility issues.

Home Truths
Free parking is provided but this will be a few moments from the property.
Routh Walk is located on the first floor and the building doesn't have a lift, so you will need to climb stairs to reach the apartment door.
