Our second stay here and I think we'll be coming back for more! The location is perfect in relation to the town and also, importantly for us, to the West Cliff where we have a memorial bench for my late husband. The owners are so accommodating, so much space and brilliant for family games nights. Just wonderful!

It ticked all boxes for us. It was a cold day when we arrived and the house was really warm when we arrived. Each of the bathrooms had plenty of towels. and the bedrooms and loundes are nicely furnished.There was other nice little touches with the compli.entry welcome pack consisting of special local teas and coffee etc. The owner sorted parking permits from the council at a charge. The house has 3 free parking spaces The house is in a great location.

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.
