Fresh clean white towels and linen provided which was a bonus. Stairs could be a bit awkward if you have mobility issues due to narrow spiral but was fine for us. Kitchen had everything you need for self catering. Was even some games and books to read if you wanted quiet time. Only negative feedback is some furniture does need update nothing major just things like stand up mirror as when I touched it it fell apart had no nuts on the bolts to hold it together. Apart from that was lovely beds and sofas comfy no issues. Would definitely book again.

The only negatives I could give would be... the discripton of the property stated it had a garden (however what was there couldnt be called a garden, more a path outside the front window. We have 3 shit tzu's and it wasnt big enough for them and there was no grass in sight), the T.V in the bedroom although had an ariel recieved no channels. Virtually no freezer space. We was informed there was no parking for the property, however was misinformed about how accessible the parking actually is. Overall I would recommend this holiday home as it was only a 10 minute walk into whitby town center and only a 30 minute drive to some lovely walks.
