location was great- nice and clean and kitchen was lovely. nice and spacious.
the bath screen enabled water to pour onto the floor which worried us as in a flat. The settees were really uncomfortable with one of the arms was broken. the main issue was the couple downstairs who left their big dog alone on Friday night which howled and barked non stop until about 10. it was that bad I have recordings on it. As a result we wouldn’t stay there again unfortunately.

Comfortable flat in a great location

Entrance to property is awful but the flat is lovely
Very uncomfortable sofas
26/10/2021
Beds were really comfortable, property was clean everything was there to hand.
The entrance didn’t do the property any justice, first impression wasn’t good. could do with a spruce up, paint, flooring and walls damaged.
24/10/2021
Clean and comfortable flat with everything you need for a stay away from home and no problem with on street parking. Great location within easy walk to the beach and restaurants and cafes. Unfortunately, we could hear music from a neighbouring flat throughout our stay.
02/10/2021
Lovely place! Would stay again. Close to shops and restaurants and bars. Wanted to stay longer. Close to beach and pier which was lovely. Short drive to Staithes.

The location was excellent sea views and near the town and station. and the beds were comfortable.
Uncomfortable sofas, WiFi very weak struggle to eat at table as cramped.Could of done with some more furniture such as drawers in the bedroom. Was expensive as not high season and was difficult to stay in the lounge I'm the evening as sofas very small and hard.

Spacious and comfortable

Location- very good
Very well presented
Steep stairs and loose stair carpet, the shower was difficult to operate and heating came on, even though it was hot because it had been left on the wrong setting (did say ‘leave on manual’ clearly on the unit)
07/09/2021
The location of the property was perfect, just a short stroll to the beach. The property did have parking directly outside of the property, this may have been luck but if you couldn’t get directly outside there was plenty of space. The property was clean and had everything you needed.
The outside of the property looked abit worn.

Great stay in Saltburn. It was quiet on the street and we didn’t really hear much but there is a garden courtyard below so it depends on if they are using that outdoor space if the noise travels. Very clean and a lovely flat in a perfect location, two minutes walk to the seafront and two minute walk into town. Great no fuss stay!

Lovely apartment, really well finished and great location. The apartment was laid out well so it felt really spacious.
Free parking on the road outside the apartment, never any issue finding a space. 50 metres (ish) from the sea front! Would highly recommend!!
02/08/2021
Amazing apartment a stones throw from the beach. You can see the see as soon as you step out of the front door. Felt right at home as soon as we walked in. Great communication from the company managing it and check in was easy. Will be back soon

Quick response to issues from agent. Very well equipped flat. Very close to amenities.
Initial problem with lock to flat but resolved promptly by agent.
Unkempt appearance of entrance to building in which the flat was located.

Clean, comfortable and close to beach!

Excellent location for the beach and the Milton street cafes/bars. Good street parking and central to the shops too.
The flat is gorgeous, well equipped and designed.
Perfect for two couples as both rooms are comfortable and roomy.
A very light and contemporary space that was a pleasure to stay at.

Had four excellent days in Saltburn-by-the-Sea. Beautiful area and the apartment is ideally situated near the sea, sea view from the lounge window. Also very close to all the shops and restaurants. Some excellent restaurants at the top of the street.
Apartment, once inside, was wonderfully clean and had all facilities that one needs to make it a perfect stay. The exterior of the building needs some tlc but the inside of the apartment is immaculate.
29/06/2021
spacious apartment. Recent decor and modern furnishings- lovely. very well equipped albeit that our stay was too short to use the items supplied. Good location. Clean and fresh (with the exception below)
communal entrance and front door. Blinds look nice but let in too much light in the morning. little dusty (blinds and light shades) but overall very clean.
23/06/2021
Modern and kitchen well stocked. Close to sea
Toilet door could not close...hinges not fixed on. No desk/dressing table. When arrived nearly didn't go in. Front door broken outside run down with litter. Shower panel on bath mouldy. Not enough glass tumblers for 4 people. No hooks in bathroom or towel rails. Paint and DIY items left outside flat door. Hallway and stairs run down

Absolutely lovely apartment, close to the sea, spotlessly clean and close to all amenities!

The apartment. Clean, fresh, modern. Good location.
The Superhog additional beurocracy that was added on after booking: dictatorial bordering on threatening.
16/05/2021
Location was great
Curtains in the bedroom (as well as blinds) would have made bed times for a toddler much easier, as the rooms are bright.
Bathroom door also needs planing to close properly.

Super clean warm and comfortable
Radio in the kitchen

We stayed for a long weekend at the Ruby Retreat and we’re not disappointed! A really central location in Saltburn, a minutes walk to the beach and sea front.
It was well equipped and spotlessly clean with excellent communication from the hosts. The beds were really comfy and even though it’s a 2nd floor apartment, it’s was really quiet.
We even had the sunshine to explore all that this beautiful coastline has to offer! We’d love to come back again soon!

Location next to beach, spacious clean modern apartment, pubs and shops nearby.
The only thing letting down the apartment was the entryway and front door. Both were in need of a clean and lick of paint but don’t let this put you off.
17/04/2021
Location, facilities, cleanliness
Would have liked curtains in the bedrooms, not just blinds
15/04/2021
Fabulous place only a few mins away from the beach and town centre. The location is perfect. Fabulous walks, little coffee shops and independent shops makes it a perfect place for a getaway

Lovely clean apartment great location
31/10/2020
The facilities were great, clean on arrival, easy access as per instructions received by Stay North Yorkshire. Super location with the beach just yards away and local amenities all within a ten minute walk or so
Furniture was small (we were 2 adults two children) and struggled to sit comfortably in the living room all together due to the size of the seating furniture...there was plenty space for bigger furniture which would have bumped up the comfort rating.
29/10/2020
The apartment is immaculately clean and has everything you need for that home from home environment. It was a cold rainy day when we arrived and the heating had been put on which was a nice welcome. There was fresh milk left in the fridge with plenty of tea and coffee available with lovely cups for a good cuppa.
The view from the living room you can see the sea and its close to local amenities.
The first impressions are a let down unfortunately, which is a shame because once inside the apartment has been done to a high standard.
The person living downstairs has a noisy dog which kept us up during the night.
29/10/2020
Great location. Good on street parking. Loads of storage for coats etc. Nice simple decor. And loads of space.
Nice to have tea coffee and milk when you arrive.
Super handy for sainsburys at end of road too.
Needs a few more kitchen items like sissors & baking trays. Probably wouldn't matter if you normally eat out but we were in most evenings.
Bathroom needs towel rail or hooks.
Shower screen doesn't quite meet the bath so floor gets a bit wet

Had a enjoyable time. The place was top notch. Clean and well made. Every pic online was what welcomed us. That I would stay again. The only this was the place is not sound proof I could hear other people from other apartments walking and talking but other than that our stay was extraordinary
19/09/2020
Amazing location. Beautiful bathroom & well equipped kitchen.
Parking, a very busy street. Noise from flat above. Grotty entrance hall & stairway. Prefer a king size bed.
17/09/2020
The location was great the entrance area could be improved.
Great communication from the host .
Noisy dogs on ground floor

Just back from 3 nights stay atRuby Retreat. Had a fab time, the apartment has everything you need and more. All new and fresh. In a very convenient place to beach and town
06/09/2020
Nice place a stones throw away from the beach.
04/09/2020
Great host, fast reply, great location. Would definitely return. Downside- could do with some black out curtains, and also you can hear everything upstairs
31/08/2020
This was a great place to stay, close to the beach and shops in Saltburn, only half an hour to Whitby and close to other east coast destinations. It is a really beautiful flat which is well maintained and has everything you need. However i feel it is worth mentioning a couple of things... the shower needs fixing as water leaks all over the floor and whilst we were there we had problems with the lock on the door, however this was quickly resolved. I have one major complaint, if you have children I don't feel this is the best place to stay. The neighbors are very noisy and we were consistently woken up through the night, my daughter was woken up by the upstairs neighbors having some adult time. Not the best experience for us !!
14/08/2020
The apartment was great, bright, airy, clean, modern, well equipped and in a great location, just a few minutes from the beach and the shops and supermarket. There was a good attention to detail and nice little touches of milk in the fridge, tea & coffee. Although your have the entire apartment be mindful that you do have neighbours above and below. We struggled a bit with the WiFi set up and connection as it wasn’t straightforward password access. The hosts were always contactable and replied quickly to any messages.
09/08/2020
The place is bigger than the pics. Very close to the beach. And the place is sparkling clean. All amenities looked new. The one downside is prob that you can hear everything upstairs, I mean everything. If you are a light sleeper, might need to consider that.
06/08/2020
Saltburn was an unexpected surprise, it was a fabulous little town that offered everything we needed.
Saltburn is the quiet gem to Whitby that is located within easy reach of the busier Sandend and Whitby.
The property is greatly situated for the beach, town, rail station and regular bus routes to Middlesbrough and Whitby.
The property was spotless, well appointed and ideal for two couples and a small pooch.
Would highly recommend.
05/08/2020
This is a lovely home from home at the seaside. Perfect location, clean, cosy and welcoming. Would highly recommend!
05/08/2020
Spotless and in a perfect location, recently renovated, think we’ve found our new home away from home :)
01/08/2020
The bathroom door didn’t close - looks like it needs rehanging (I’m married to a carpenter!) plus hooks for hanging clothes on in bathroom would be useful
28/07/2020

Nothing!

We were back to see the family for Christmas; so needed a little bolt holt to return to sleep in. Ruby retreat had comfy beds and was newly decorated to a high standard. Really pleasurable stay and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again

We felt extremly lucky to be the first guests to stay in at The Ruby Retreat. The apartment was brand new so we were using everything for the first time.
We fell in love with the place and Saltburn. We liked it so much we booked an extra night.
Unbelievable location. 5 mins walk to the sea. You can see the sea from the living room.
The apartment itself is well fitted with a lovely kitchen and decor. Plently of plates, cups and pans for all your cooking needs. The living room is very cosy on a wet or cold day.
The staff were very helpful. We had a small issue when we arrived and it was fixed by staff within 10 mins.
Communication was great throughout.
Highly recommended and we would stay again. Perfect for couples.
