6 Abbey Terrace in Whitby is highly praised for its superb location, cleanliness, and comfort. Guests appreciate the spaciousness, well-equipped kitchen, and thoughtful touches like welcome packs.

The location is universally acclaimed, being within a short walk to Whitby harbour, beach, shops, and pubs. Its proximity to local attractions and the convenience for exploring the area are highly valued by guests.
Guests find the property comfortable, with spacious rooms and comfortable beds. However, some guests noted issues with soundproofing and a damp room, which slightly affected the overall comfort score.

There's plenty of room, so clean and very well appointed. Whitby is brilliant and the location of the house is so good for getting down into town, to the sea front and beaches. We are hoping to return.

It was near to the beach, with easy access to the town and harbour. It was an ideal property for our group of 14 adults and children. The facilities in the house were good.

The house was nicely furnished and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had great cooking and cleaning facilities (with the two dishwashers) and the dining room was big enough for our party of 13. I'd highly recommend it to any large party!
