Guests that stayed at this property said
Cleanliness has been a concern for several guests, with reports of the property not being cleaned to a high standard, including issues with dust, cobwebs, and unclean kitchen appliances. However, some guests found the property to be clean upon arrival.
The location is highly regarded, with guests enjoying the short walk to Whitby and the convenience for visiting local attractions. The quietness despite being on a main road and the ease of parking are also noted positively.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the rooms spacious. Some guests mentioned the property being warm and cosy, although there were comments about the need for better heating and draught-proofing.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable living spaces. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as problems with the oven, shower leaks, and non-working lights, which suggest room for improvement.
While some guests have mentioned receiving flowers and treats for dogs, indicating a level of thoughtfulness, there is not enough consistent information across reviews to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.
About this property
An attractive, mid-terrace Victorian property, situated on the edge of the popular seaside town of Whitby. Converted from a former manor house, this family-friendly accommodation is perfect for exploring the many attractions of this historic port, but with easy access to the stunning scenery of the North York Moors National Park. Set over three floors, there is a modern, well-equipped galley-style kitchen, which leads into a very light and spacious sitting room with a large bay window, complete with a padded window seat. This room feels warm and welcoming as it is enhanced by a gas living-flame fire and comfy seating, with a good selection of games and DVDs for a rainy day. From the sitting room, there is access to a sheltered, enclosed rear patio; a pleasant spot to enjoy a morning coffee in the sunshine. Upstairs are three comfortable bedrooms, with the first floor king-size room having the benefit of an en-suite shower and views over the roof tops to the moors beyond. A twenty minute walk brings you into the heart of this atmospheric town, with a labyrinth of narrow cobbled streets and alleyways to meander through, a picturesque harbour and beautiful, long sandy beaches. With numerous restaurants and quaint tea rooms to sample and lots to visit, including Whitby Abbey, Captain Cook's Museum and Pannett Park, there is something for everyone. For something a little different, why not partake in an evening's ghost walk, or a whale watching boat trip out to sea. The surrounding area has plenty to offer, with exhilarating walks along the dramatic coastline, fossil hunting at Runswick Bay and not to be missed, a ride on the famous steam railway from nearby Grosmont. A superb base for a varied and interesting holiday in the North Yorkshire seaside town of Whitby.
The ancient fishing port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk and is ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire with its superb coastline and the spectacular North York Moors. Whitby is a charming and atmospheric town of winding streets and hidden alleys, with a picturesque harbour, safe sandy beaches and of course the Abbey, reached by the famous 199 steps.

It meant I had to buy a torch to let the dogs out at night. A clock in the property would have been nice. When it was windy, the windows were very draughty and rattled. Other than that, a nice place to stay and we would certainly stay there again.

50 parking is 7.00 for 6 hours if you can get a space then you still have to walk a bit into town, parking outside house no problem, a couple of of cushions on the furniture would not go amiss. Neighbours safety light lights up the 1st floor bedroom, possibly a larger TV.
