“The house was amazing - clean, fully equipped, and walking distance to Whitby. Owners are quick to reply and gave lots of information. Parking is limited at the house and around the area as the roads are narrow. Other than that a great place. Loved it.”

“Before staying at this property, we came across a review that didn’t fill us with hope… but honestly… we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Whitby. The property was fantastic and perfect for the 10 of us (7 adults, 3 children, no pets). The place had signs of living, but nothing you wouldn’t expect. The review was so harsh and really misleading. I would highly recommend this to anyone staying in Whitby. Booked for my Dad’s 70th and he loved it. There is a slight hill to climb to the property, but it’s worth it for how close you are to the centre. A Taxi is only £5 as well from the centre. Thank you so much for a lovely stay. 5 stars! If you’re thinking about it, book it! *****”
