We absolutely loved the property. It is very well equipped and well presented. Slight issues with bed sheets. Hard bits of plastic stuck on sheets ? a laundry issue. The house is in a great location but with that comes the challenge of parking. We parked on the Street behind the house and used parking permits as advised. Our car was seriouslyRead more damaged by what I suspect are local residents. The car had to be written off by the insurance company. It was smashed with a hammer and then covered in baked beans yoghurt carrots and chocolate powder. Not the MO of passing youths that are up to mischief. Police informed. There had been previous case. Sadly we contacted the booking company and owners and have not received any response from either party. Hide

A comfortable and very well equipped house in an ideal location close to Whitby town centre. It took us a little while to get used to the layout but once we did, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The ideal place for a family get together by the coast.

This is a beautifully furnished property, well equipped and comfortable for a short or longer stay for family or friends. It is in an excellent central location in the town but that does mean parking is a bit of a pain. This was our second visit for a long weekend and we would definitely stay again.
