This sumptuous property has been decorated and furnished to an exceptionally high standard, making it the perfect holiday choice for extended families or groups of friends looking for a special place to stay. The elegant Georgian-style house overlooks the harbour of this historic seaside town, famous for its connections to Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Popular attractions include the 199 Steps, which lead to the haunting ruins of Whitby Abbey, and Whitby Museum, which showcases collections of local fossils, model ships and other curiosities. Another highlight is Captain Cook Memorial Museum, set in the house where the explorer once lived, and the wide caramel sands of West Cliff beach.

Enter the house through the magnificent Georgian-style door and onto a welcoming porch and admire the sumptuous interiors throughout. Plush seating around an open fire in the lounge includes two and three-seater leather sofas and a Queen Anne leather armchair. The bar includes an array of glasses, an ice-maker and a bottle fridge – all you need to mix up some cocktails after a busy day out exploring! The lower ground floor houses the large kitchen/diner, which looks out onto the garden. There is also a bedroom with a king-size bed (which can be made into a twin) on this level and a bathroom with a Jacuzzi bath. Head to the first floor for two more magnificent bedrooms, both with king-size beds and en-suite bathrooms with walk-in showers – one with a rainfall shower head and the other with massaging jets. The master bedroom takes up the whole of the top floor and includes a king-size bed, a seating area and an en-suite bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub.

Small enclosed decorative garden to the front of the property.

Great location for exploring Whitby. Very comfortable, clean beds. Plenty of soft, clean towels. Very well stocked kitchen, plenty of glasses, plates, cups etc. Quality appliances. Large dining table and chairs. Lovely addition of a generous welcome pack from owner plus 3 parking cards and an early check in. Much appreciated. We enjoyed our stay.

A well-appointed and furnished property in a great location just above town. It should however be noted that the owner only provides parking cards for one vehicle for the week, and that the instructions in the house book for heating control (underfloor and radiators) and waste disposal are inadequate. We wasted a lot of time getting the heating rigRead moreht and also on trying to get the tv channels until a call to the property managers revealed that the tvs are no longer connected to freesat, This means a couple of the tvs receive no signal at all and the smart ones only receive streaming via the internet. Disappointed that all these issues (and one or two others I have noted to the owner) had been raised by occupants over the last couple of years in the visitors book but no action seems to have been taken.

Fabulous is a lovely and very comfortable property that is very well located - you're two minutes from the beach and five minutes from Whitby town centre. We had a wonderful family holiday at the beginning of September in a fantastic town that appears to be thriving.

Fabulous was an amazing property which really met our family's needs. The house was well equipped for a family of 6, with plenty of glassware and crockery. The location is superb with the beach easily accessible in one direction and the shops, cafes and pubs in the other. We have had one of our best holidays. Thank you

A truly 'fabulous ' holiday home. Spacious, lovely and clean, welcome basket was plentiful. Kitchen well stocked with everything you'd need in a kitchen. Furnishings were luxurious/decadent.

Two points though your own Netflix account is advisable because there are no tv channels and get used to ducking if you're in the loft bedroom because of the rafters.

Fabulous is in many ways a very nice house but to live up to its name there are certain things that need attention: No terrestrial TV should be mentioned in the property description. Enclosed garden is misleading as I think everyone is expecting a garden where you can sit and have a quiet drink , away from the road and not overlooked by every pasRead moreserby. The en-suites dont live up to the expectation as we were unable to control the temperature properly and the jets didnt appear to work. The toilet seat in the bedroom immediately in front of you on the first landing needs tightening. The bedroom next to this had a drainy smell for the first few days. That said, many things are thoughtfully done: The gifts in the welcome package are a very nice touch. The location is very good for access to the town. The bedrooms are all a good size. Beds were comfortable. Yes, we had a good week in Whitby and this house could be truly fabulous with some attention. Hide

'Fabulous' is an outstanding property. It's ideally located in Whitby, and only a short walk from the seafront, harbour, pier and high streets. The decor of the house is stylish and opulent, with very high standard interior design and special features such as jacuzzi baths and a cocktail bar. It has genuine character and its spacious design can accRead moreommodate larger groups very comfortably across its multiple floors. All bedrooms have ensuite or private bathrooms, so it works well for families but also for mixed parties. Paid on-street parking was provided for one car for the duration of our stay, but there are other options within a mile of the property, including free non-permit parking, if you have additional vehicles. We'd strongly recommend 'Fabulous' - you can step straight out into Whitby and come back to a cosy, relaxing townhouse. Hide

The property could so easily have been fabulous, unfortunately it fell short on cleanliness and missed out on a couple of opportunities to excel. But cleanliness aside it's a good house in a great position and we enjoyed our stay in Whitby. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review.

The Fabulous is absolutely fantastic. We loved every second of our stay. The house itself was just perfect for our needs. We were a group of 8, 4 couples. All the upper bedrooms were en-suite which was great and the bathroom downstairs was right outside the bedroom door. The decor is really nice, felt like a top notch hotel. The welcome gifts (ProsRead moreecco, beer, popcorn, crisps, sweets and milk) were really appreciated and such a nice touch. Beds were super comfortable and the quilts were so good that we took note of the brand and purchased one as soon as were got home. The location is also great, close enough to wander in to town but not so close thats its noisy. Would definitely recommend to anyone and we will 100% be returning next year. Hide

The kitchen housed the eight of us perfectly for xmas dinner. The view of the abbey from the front was amazing and the beach is only a couple of minutes walk.
