They supplied everything you would need for your stay. Location was good, although in a housing estate we found it okay, and not far from Whitby town. Great bus service on the main road, so you donât have to drive everywhere. Would definitely consider returning.

Might just be down to our preference. Did miss an outside garden for the dog and to hang out washing but still loved the property. Very cosy to relax in at night. Would book again coming back to whitby

We went at a very popular time with Regatta and Folk week happening in Whitby. There were thousands of visitors around so everywhere was busy. Returning to the quiet tranquility of Haven each evening was tremendous. We visit Whitby several times a year and would definitely book Haven again.
