Great location. would recommend for family with up to three children. easy walk into the town centre. the apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. would definitely book again. parking permit for the nearby carpark was a real bonus.
Positive: Great location, good facilities, car park permit. Stayed for 4 nights. Luckily instructions available for oven & hob. Negative: Few little niggles - Bed in main bedroom small for size of room, toilet roll holder in ensuite kept falling off, cupboard door over washing machine only held on with bottom hinge so had to be careful, bedsheets on bunk bed were fresh but stained. Can also hear every movement & voices from apartment above & below but wouldn't put us off staying again.
Property ideal for travelling with our granddaughters, but felt for self catering slightly overpriced Positive: The 2 bathrooms and big master bedroom. Car park permit very useful
The apartment is large and comforably furnished with plenty of room and plenty of storage space. The two seperate toilets, one with a shower and the other with a large bath make life easy for bigger family groups. The kitchen is well equiped with cooker, microwave, etc, and plenty of untensils, but sadley we could only find one saucepan, which makes it difficult to cook your own meals. The parking permit supplied was very welcome........... we just parked up and didn't use the car all the time we were there. This saved at least £33.00 The location is just about right being close enough to the centre of Whitby to allow easy access but still in a quieter part of the town. It's also close to the amenities of West Cliff with its Skateboard Park, childrens Paddling Pool and Whitby Beach.
Fantastic location and views, a comfortable apartment - perfect for a family Positive: Amazing location - so close to beach, shops, pubs etc. but once at the apartment it was lovely and quiet, so the best of both worlds! Appreciated the permit for the car park right behind the building. Wonderful to have views of the Abbey. We (2 adults, 3 children) were very happy with the size and cleanliness of the apartment and would love to stay again!
We visited Dales place as a family of 2 adults and 2 children, we all found it great, it was very clean and airy. it was very windy when there and the windows were great at blocking out the sound etc. I would say that if you struggle with stairs, it might be a bit hard for you to get to, but for us this wasn't a problem.
Perfect location for visiting Whitby and sandsend. The flat is clean and cosy with lots of space. The kids slept 12 hours in the bunk beds after a day of exploring the beach! Easy to find. Free parking outside. Clear communication from host via app. Thank you!
Lovely stay. Well-equiped property in very handy location. Hosts were very helpful and understood our additional request to accommodate some additional needs for a baby.
We all had a lovely stay at this location. The only Thing was the oven was hard to put on and the cot bed that was put up kept collapsing, and the ironing board didn’t flatten out. But overall we had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend this place.
Excellent Positive: Absolutely stunning location, with spectacular views of both the ocean and the Abby. Very clean, well equipped apartment, including strong Wi-Fi signal, washing machine (very handy for longer stays), dishwasher, iron, and hairdryer. only a 5/10 minute walk from the town centre and a stones throw from the beach. Highly recommended, i will certainly be booking again. Negative: Loved everything about our stay.
Everything we'd hoped for. Had a great holiday.
Great value for money! Comfy and clean. Positive: Homely, comfy and clean. Had everything could need for a stay and more. Beds were very comfy. Views were absolutely stunning. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely stay again.
Wonderful Whitby Goth weekend. Will do it again and again! 🦇🖤 Positive: Lovely clean apartment. Well equipped and cosy. Only thing that caused concern was its 3 floors up. Which did prove difficult for a partially disabled member of our group. Should really make this clear to potential customers. Other than that, everything was spot on. Will book host and stay again without doubt. Just not so many flights of stairs.
Positive: The apartment was adequate for our needs, in a quiet location whilst at the same time within easy access to the centre of Whitby. Negative: The apartment is on the second floor so there are four lots of nine steps to negotiate which can be a challenge especially as the parking isn't immediately outside.
Excellent property, with fab views all round!
Great base for experiencing a weekend in Whitby! Positive: Peaceful, ideal location, great views, spacious. Negative: Exactly as expected
Positive: Fantastic apartment with stunning views. Apartment had everything that was needed throughout our stay
Amazing break away- best accommodation we have stayed in in terms of location and views Positive: Fab location and views - comfortable and provided essentials to help with the stay. Staff were so friendly and replied quickly Negative: We didn’t dislike anything in particular
It was ok for a couple of nights, but we wouldn’t have wanted a longer stay. Positive: We liked the location. Living area and master bedroom was spacious. The information guide was good. Negative: There was a smell from the en-suite, the second bedroom was small and there were only 2 chairs for sitting at the table even though the property slept 5. Also, under the beds were dirty and had some rubbish.
Great location with beautiful views.
Positive: Third visit to this apartment. It is homely and comfortable. Sea views to the front and abby views from the bedroom. Excellent location, 5 mins walk to the beach, bearing in mind the quickest route has lots of steps. Negative: No dislikes.
Fox’s Hideout was wonderful accommodation for a few days away. Beautifully decorated, extremely clean, lovely bedding, everything we needed for a relaxing break. The views of both the sea and the Abbey are stunning. We liked being able to see car in the carpark from the kitchen window. Just to note may not be suitable for anyone who finds stairs difficult.
Lovely accommodation, great hosts and fantastic location. Positive: Very clean and spacious and lovely location.
A lovely place to stay in a fantastic location Positive: A fantastic location and clean spacious apartment with lovely sea views. Negative: The stairs up to the property are dark and smell strongly of cooking. However this is a minor fault on otherwise spot on apartments.
Perfect base to explore Whitby!
fantastic apartment with incredible views. clean and comfortable, highly recommended.
We really enjoyed our stay at the fox hideout! Clean and well looked after. Perfect location!! We will definitely revisit!
Positive: Everything was great! Very comfortable! Negative: Parking but that's on us booking it on the same weekend as Goth Weekend. 😆
An excellent stay at a very good apartment. Positive: Good location and a good view. Negative: 3 flights of stairs, but we were aware of that when we booked so not really a complaint, it is just a little more effort with luggage.
Fantastic Positive: Excellent location, lovely comfortable, well equipped apartment Negative: N/A
Amazing and everything you needy Positive: Great communication with host and keys were in a lock box so very easy to arrive and get in. Lovely views, fabulous location, spacious, clean! Couldn’t ask for more!
Lovely views great location Positive: Loved the location and the views were great. The property was clean and very welcoming.
Great location. Apartment generally clean. Very warm and shower good. Negative: The mattress was not comfortable. Serious dip in the middle of the bed. Rubbish from previous visitors left in the shower. Some of crockery chipped. Beans left in dishwasher.
Cool Positive: Vue magnifique Parking facile
Positive: Lovely property, very clean and great location. Clear instructions to locate and key access. Great that there was a parking permit for the car park behind - west Cliff.
Positive: Dident rate the host dident see them but they were in constant communication with us Negative: All good no complaints
Positive: Clean and tidy
Excellent ! Positive: It was very quiet even though the location was close to the sea and the center. Very beautiful view of the sea and Whitby Abbey, the apartment very spacious and equipped with everything to make you feel at home. Very comfortable and clean. Communication with the host was excellent, we always received useful information and in a very short time. We hope to come back soon! Thank you Host@Stay- Fox' Hideout !
The flat was in a lovely location with wonderful views of the beach and Abbey. The bedrooms were well furnished with high quality pieces and the beds were extremely comfortable and clean.
Appartement spacieux et bien placé mais un peu cher par rapport à la qualité des équipements Positive: La vue mer. L’emplacement proche des commodités. La taille de l’appartement. Le parking juste derrière avec le permis à disposition. 2 salles de bain et deux WC. Negative: Deuxième sans ascenseur : pas facile pour les valises. Bruyant surtout au niveau de la cuisine. On entend les pas du voisin du dessus comme s’il était dans la pièce. Pas beaucoup de vaisselle et seulement 2 chaises dans la cuisine. Salle de douche très petite. Matelas mous (ça peut être une qualité pour ceux qui aiment !)
Nice flat and really friendly and responsive host!!
Positive: Super Lage - alles in direkter Nähe, viel Platz, Badewanne und Dusche, bequeme Betten, Waschmaschine. Negative: Zwei Handtücher waren nicht richtig gewaschen worden - mit Wimperntusche und Makeup verschmiert, keine richtigen Töpfe bzw. die vorhandenen stark zerkratzt. Sonst war alles super!
Great stay & location Positive: Great location with plenty to do in every direction. Excellent flat with great views and comfortable stay with everything we needed. Negative: Would have liked curtains in the rooms as the blinds weren't enough to keep the light out in the mornings.
Fantastic holiday home. Positive: The location is great, close enough to the main town but away from the noise. The parking permit provided was a real bonus. The flat was clean and comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed. We would have been happy to have stayed longer. Negative: It was a bit of a hike up the 40 or so stairs from the street to the flat.
Positive: Facilities. At first, we thought it was like a rabbit Warren, but actually, the quirky layout offered good privacy. We got there early, and could go in a bit early. However we did leave early too, and let cleaner in early Negative: Beds could have had better mattresses, and the master bedroom was big enough for a bigger bed. We were rather cramped in bed. Not even sure if it wasn't a "small" double. But everything else was fine. Couldn't work out using the oven, even though we are used to them.
Great location, lovely views Positive: 2 bathrooms & a great view , parking directly behind Negative: All was well
We only had a short time but we really enjoyed our stay and made our time more comfortable The apartment was very spacious, light and airy and in a great location. Thank you
Really great location and host. Positive: Well appointed and everything you needed. Good info on how the tv and heating worked Negative: Fire alarm went off intermittently and we were unsure of what to do - saw panel in hall and it was not us.
Great stay in Whitby Positive: Great location and nice view from the apartment
Just what the doctor ordered. Great location and apartment was very homely and cosy. Felt right at home as soon as we arrived. Dale was very responsive. Would highly recommend and can't wait to return ssssshhhh don't tell everyone about this hidden gem 😉
Lovely place and great location to explore the town.
The flat was large and the location was great. But housekeeping felt very slapdash. This is the first time we have ever arrived at a holiday let and found no bin liner in the bin and none left anywhere, and there was rubbish from the last guests in the bathroom (e.g empty mouthwash bottle). Cleaning was ok but it felt cursory, for instance the bathroom sinks could have done with a spray and wipe down and the living room floor looked as if it could have done with more vacuuming. There were also maintenance issues. The main lightbulb in the bedroom was flickering horribly, and blind broken. One of the plugs in the kitchen not working. It felt as if whoever was in charge of changeover didn't care very much! We also had to chase Home and Stay for the address and key code to get in the night before arriving as despite being regularly spammed with messages from them (especially when they wanted the additional cleaning deposit to be paid) they hadn't bothered to share this information.
Loved staying here, and so close to the beach and town. Car parking is right next door so easy for settling in and for trips out. Looking forward to staying here again soon.
Positive: Brilliant location very clean
Positive: Amazing apartment, exceptional views....Close to all amenities, couldn't fault it. Negative: Absolutely nothing.
This was really well located & just as described. Pleased we decided to stay in this area as it was well within walking distance of the harbour & main attractions. Lovely views from lounge & kitchen & whilst there was no direct parking the car park behind the property, West Cliff had spaces so we’re able to park there easily. Helped by a parking permit available in the apartment. Would definitely recommend it if you want relaxation & peace away from the hustle & bustle unyet close by if you want it! Great equipped kitchen & the en suite shower was fabulous!
Would recommended and stay there again. Positive: Excellent location. Very happy with that. Negative: It wasn’t cleaned under the main bedroom bed. There was old magazines. Also found a pair of sunglasses under one of the tables
We have a wonderful stay here, nice apartment, have a great view ;)
Apartment was as described and in an absolutely fantastic location. Some of the pictures didn’t match the description so messaged to check and it was clear from there. Parking permit was hard to find at first but a quick call settled the matter brilliantly. Be careful when pricing to factor in the cleaning fee within budgets. Apartment was brilliant but sometimes the cleaning fee appears as a slightly hidden charge and you only see it when processing towards booking.
After booking the host sent us an external link asking to pay extra for damage waiver/deposit (even though Airbnb provides Aircover which includes damage protection for all hosts by default). We got surprised as at the time of booking there was no mention of the extra fees value. Talking to the host was unsuccessful, so we escalated it to the Airbnb Support who agreed the host was violating the policy by taking extra charges without mentioning those (incl. its value) in the listing & price breakdown at the time of booking. Airbnb paid us the amount to pay the host for the damage waiver. Now the host corrected this listing, it now shows the extra fees & their values. Other listings of this host are still not specifying the amount they take extra in ‘damage waiver/ deposit’ so be vigilant. At the place we had to wash the plates, towels had stains. No cooking oil, no scissors, no cafetière/coffee maker as stated. We were sent lots of promos/ checkout reminders, very commercialised!
What a gem of a property! The flat was very well maintained with excellent facilities, and ideally located with many amenities within a short walking distance. Very quiet too - ideal for a decent night's sleep after a tiring day. Be aware that there is only one shower in the property - the second bathroom does have a large bathtub with a flexible showerhead, so you need to coordinate if everyone wants to use the shower. Would definitely recommend it as a base for exploring Whitby!
A lovely stay in a well appointed apartment Positive: Location and size Negative: Nothing
Prima Wohnung Positive: Sehr geräumig, schöne Aussicht, sauber, gute Ausstattung der Wohnung, Parkplatz direkt daneben kostenlos. Negative: Etwas hellhörig (Schnarchen aus der Wohnung darüber hörbar).
Great place, so handy to have two bathrooms, nice and airy flat, fab location for everything
this is only my 2nd time at an air BnB,but the apartment is beautiful and exactly as described and the photo's are accurate. it truly felt like, a home away from home. the lounge was big and had 2 large and comfy sofas. the TV was a decent size and you can access your own Netflix etc. the fully working and decent sized kitchen,was great. we made full use of the fridge freezer,kettle and toaster,plus the oven was relatively easy to use(we worked out how to get the jobs working,after a few confused minutes). both of the bathrooms,were lovely!! the big corner bath was great and I loved the walk in shower,with amazing water pressure.. the bedrooms,were really well decorated and cozy. the bed was extremely comfortable and the blinds,were a nice touch,to keep any light out. the location is excellent,so close to the beach and the views from the lounge are wonderful, especially watching the sunset!.. the hosts were friendly, quick at responding and very helpful.. a truly great trip and stay!!.
Positive: We were staying in flat 3, everything was spot on, clean and tidy, a lot of kitchenware, salt pepper, coffee and tea, nice view from kitchen, car park close to apartments, there was parking permit as well in our apartment, but it's not been mentioned in advert, so we paid it first , and we just found parking permit when we came upstairs, but we managed to return money we've paid for parking. So it's not a big issue. Overall we are very happy been staying in this apartment, will recommend to our friends Negative: There's is a hiden costs which is not mentioned in advert -25£ deposit which is not returnable. Also parking permit could be mentioned in advert.
Nice, relaxing stay! Positive: Great location, free & easy parking within sight, within walking distance of many shops & restaurants. beautiful water view, familiar accommodation (2nd stay), homey feel, improved instructions for Wifi, washing machine, heated clothes drying rack, good choice of TV shows, dishwasher, heat! It was cool while we were there in June and Fox's Hideout was the first place we stayed at that provided heat! Negative: Climbing two flights of stairs with luggage (but we already knew that), bunk beds in second bedroom (new to us), needed to buy supplies (extra rolls of toilet paper, paper towels, laundry pods) when we didn't have to last year. The kitchen wasn't as clean as I would have liked. Only one shower.
Great location and views from the flat. Convenient for the west cliff car park and the centre/ harbour. Hosts were communicative and instructions easy to follow. Would happily book again.
Excellent position for exploring Whitby. Quiet location on the cliff top with amazing views through all windows.
A great last minute break Positive: Location and cleanliness Negative: Squeaky floors in kitchen, TV would not operate easily ( batteries may have been flat in one controller)
Lovely views and a great location
Fab location, close enough to get anywhere. Awesome views.
Excellent guest. We would love to host you again!
Underwhelming scam Positive: / Negative: We had to sleep in the car with three people for a night because the accommodation didn’t give us the key locker code in time and weren’t reachable. We’re 1,5 months later and we still didn’t get a refund. I tried to reach out at least 4 times and it is getting ridiculous. It also wasn’t clean, the fake eyelashes of the previous guest was still lying on the bathroom cabinet. Wouldn’t recommend
great location. good communication comfortable place
Really good location however bring a Firestick or similar as there is no smart TV. Positive: Location was fantastic which is ideal for visiting Whitby. Negative: The facilities state there is a smart TV where you can stream by signing into your accounts however this is not the case. The TV isn't connected to the internet and isn't smart so this should be changed in the wording.
was in great location very clean and everything you could need for a stay
Positive: Position in town close but quite Nice and clean and good layout Negative: Beds only a standard double Towels a bit small
Fantastic location, will be back.
Nice property but some annoyances Positive: Large apartment - quite modern Negative: The lights on the stairs in the public areas leading up to the property did not work - we reported this but nothing was done and earlier guest had reported the same problem. Also Host and Stay have a hidden charge of £10 for admin of the damage bond which is not mentioned in the original price - you don't find out about this until you are completing the booking, so you can't take it into account when you are making initial comparisons.
Wonderful stay at a lovely apartment. Absolutely amazing views - especially if the abbey from the bedrooms. Lovely and clean and as great if not better than photos
Apartment was homely and welcoming. Beautiful stay! Would recommend. Positive: Location, views, spacious, cosy . Sea view from kitchen and living room Abbey views from bedrooms. Clean and comfortable. Nice Bathroom with bath and en-suite with shower to main bedroom. Relaxing after lots of walking around Whitby. Negative: Dishwasher not working, fridge and oven could have been cleaner but not awful. Needs more plates and chairs (sleeps 4 but only 2 of each). Interesting choice of Mugs/cups! 😂 could do with a hairdryer and the power lead for radio in kitchen.
Bardzo mi sie podobało . Lokalizacja super , wszędzie jest blisko. Positive: Bardzo czysto , wszytko było dostępne . Widok z okna był rewelacyjny .
Positive: The location, Whitby is a lovely place. Negative: Insufficient plates and chairs for a group of four.
