Metres away from the Royal Crescent and the Whalebone Arch, the house is perfect for families wanting a relaxing seaside holiday, with the golden sands of Whitby Beach less than a half a mile away. Other attractions include Whitby Museum, Pannett Park, the start of the Cinder Track and the Dracula Experience. Crossing over the River Esk, you can climb the 199 Steps up to the ruins of Whitby Abbey, or visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum. Outside the town, you can explore the North York Moors or visit the idyllic Robin Hood’s Bay just 6 miles away. The property could not be in a better location from which to explore Whitby, the beach and surrounding areas. Lots to do including a superb pizza resturant only a short walk away. 

Entering this welcoming property, the hallway leads through to a relaxing lounge with a coal-effect electric fire and plenty of seating so you can browse through a selection of books, play games or watch a movie. The airy kitchen/diner features a charming dining area and a fully equipped kitchen, perfect for preparing a wide choice of dishes. There’s also a separate WC on this floor. Stairs lead down to the lower ground floor where you will find a handy family bathroom and a utility room with plenty of useful equipment. The four beautifully decorated bedrooms can be found on the first and second floors. The first floor features a double room, a twin room with a TV, and a bunk bedroom with a set of full-size bunks. There’s also a stylish first-floor bathroom. Finally, on the second floor, an elegant double bedroom features a TV, a skylight set in a low, sloping ceiling and a refreshing en-suite bathroom.

Outside, the private, enclosed patio to the back of the property has plenty of garden furniture and makes a lovely space for sitting back with a glass or two of wine at the end of a great day.

Location and water pressure excellent. Everything else, very disappointing.... We specifically booked this property for the games room to keep our teens and tweens happy. There were no games, just a load of broken/ mixed up puzzles. There was no table and no ball for the table football. The TV didn't work. There was an inventory full of kitchen Read moreequipment - unfortunately a lot of this was missing or broken. My mum cut herself on a broken mug that had been put back in the cupboard. There was broken stuff all over the house, including a kick board in the kitchen, blind in the upstairs bedroom, shower head in the main bathroom. The level of cleanliness is the worst I've ever experienced. We were asked when we'd like the cleaners to come back. I said between 9 and 9.30am, so we all got up and dressed, waited in and noone turned up. No-one was answering phones. In the end, we went out about 11 and apparently the cleaners came about 4, but it wasn't much better. Some of the customer service was ok and a couple of games and sets of glasses were dropped off, but unfortunately it was too little, too late. I wouldn't stay here again until a lot of work has been put into this poor unloved house. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk - thank you for your feedback this has been passed onto the management team and the owner to rectify these issues for future guests and improvements have been planned by the owner.

Back door and windows were jammed. Cellar was extremely damp and a health hazard. Games were all broken including table football. Books were so old and so few. No instructions for appliances. Back yard was filthy nothing like photographs. Workmen came to do hedges were were not informed and we had young children present. Back door and toilet door aRead morend windows jammed. We got stuck in the downstairs toilet. Baking sheets in kitchen rusty. The back gate needed attention as the young children could get out onto the hotel car park. This property had obviously just been decorated so it looked lovely. Expected facilities to match the price. The description and some photographs were misleading. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk - Thank you for your comments the feedback has been fed back to the management team for their attention. Hide
