  Regatta House is a beautiful property with exceptional quality furnishings and well decorated.

    A lovely welcome gift was well received. It is in a brilliant location on the west cliff within close walking distance to everything in Whitby. The lounge has plenty of sofas and a large screen TV. The dining room has a large table which seats 8, a log burner and espresso coffee machine. The kitchen is a long galley style, which can be a little tight on space if there are a couple of people in, but offers everything you need for your stay and more. The crockery, pans, utensils etc are a very good quality and plenty. There's a small toilet at the end of the kitchen behind a sliding door. It is questionable about hygiene of it's location but is very handy. The small courtyard has seating and a large table if the weather is nice and is secure so ideal for our dog. The four bedrooms are very spacious, have very comfortable beds and each have a bathroom which is excellent.  Although two of the bedrooms do not have en-suite as such but the bathroom is located very close. The second floor bathrooms are very large. All furnishings are of very good quality.  A couple of small points are the first floor bathroom is lacking a mirror and the parking is not ideal if needing to park outside the property.  Parking is very tight to the front of the house but there's plenty around the area and permits are provided.  Overall this property is exceptional. We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely return to Regatta House.

  Fabulous spaciuos cottage with everything you need and more!

  We were a party of seven with ages ranging from 24 - 81. Plenty of room for us all with flexibility with sleeping arrangements with the sofabed in the dining room. Beds comfy, with plenty of pillows and towels. Hot tub was lovely and warm with bench around the outside and lights in it - and more towels and robes available to use. Cottage in a great location with lots of walks on the doorstep and not too far from nearest shops. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need for cooking for yourself including oil, salt, pepper, kitchen roll and lots of storage for your supplies. Sofas and cushions comfy and wi-fi and tvs worked well. We had three cars and it was a bit of a tight squeeze to park them all in the dedicated parking for the cottage but a neighbour at the back said we could park one vehicle at the back of the house so we did. The fires were lovely with plenty of coal and wood - definately a highlight to come back to after out November daily jaunts. Heating warmed the other rooms well. Lots of hooks for coats and large shoe tack for walking boots, etc. Only small thing property needs is a mirror in each bedroom. We would all recommend Old Hall Cottage as a great place to stay!

  Regatta House is a beautifully presented, comfortable home.

  The area is very peaceful at night so that, combined with comfortable beds, meant we slept really well. We appreciated the milk and tea bag supply along with local delights on arrival. We found pretty much everything we needed during the week. The only thing we couldn't find (maybe tucked away somewhere?) were some board games. Food wise, all bar one of the places we went to locally were great with friendly service- particularly Cosa Nostra, Emma's Diner, The Magpie and Sherlocks. The not so good one? Don't be fooled by the plaque outside! We didn't stray far from Whitby but Robin Hood's Bay, Staithes and Saltburn-by-the-Sea are worth a visit although the first two are very hilly. The walk alongside the beach from West Cliff towards Sandsend is beautiful and extremely flat once you get down. Thank you Regatta House, thank you Whitby for a wonderful, memorable stay. Our 4th time in Whitby and favourite accommodation by far! We hope to be back and would highly recommend Regatta House.

  Janet is a great host, she helped us navigate to the cottage in a storm/flood.

  The cottage itself is lovely, very spacious, comfortable, clean. Excellent hot tub. 2 showers which is ideal when there are 6-7 people, 2 toilets. Comfy beds. The underfloor heating in the kitchen is not overwhelming but just a nice heat that takes the edge off the chill. We did some great walks from the doorstep to Victoria Cave and some waterfalls. My family and I stayed here inbetween Christmas and New Year. A great stay - I imagine we will be visiting again! My suggestions for improvement would be: A few essentials in the kitchen - e.g tea bags, tin foil, baking paper (there was salt and pepper) however Booths isn't far if you have a car. Enough firewood for duration of stay - although it does seem standard in accomodation that you have to provide your own. I would rearrange the downstairs to have a dining room next to the kitchen - no sofas, just big dining table and make the other downstairs room into a room with enought sofa space for all guests.

  A lovely big cottage, we were 3 adults, 3 older teenagers and a tweenie.

  The arrangement of rooms was perfect to give everyone space whilst also allowing everyone to be together for meals and relaxing. The downstairs toilet alleviated any issues with sharing the upstairs bathroom and the separate shower room was great, both showers worked well when in use simultaneously. The kitchen was very well equipped. Janet was a great host, she checks the hot tub regularly but was not intrusive. We had a great time here during a heatwave, the garden had plenty of shade and hot tub is great. We also experienced 2 days of rain, a lot of which we stayed inside for. The cottage was well up for the demands this placed on it. Views are fantastic with lots of great walks locally. Will hopefully return as the family loved being together in the cottage.
