There are a great selection of walks nearby you are sure to love. Whitby is a very popular resort with lots of wonderful events and festivals throughout the year such as the bi-annual Goth Weekend, Folk Festival, Regatta and many different music events. With everything that’s going on there is still plenty of opportunity to relax and enjoy the 2 miles of golden sands, and some amazing scenery all along the North Yorkshire Heritage Coast. With stunning views, hidden coves and bays to explore, there is something for everyone. Robin Hood’s Bay and Staithes are just two examples of picture perfect seaside villages in the area, with links to the explorer Captain Cook. The Cleveland Way and the Cinder Track are both fantastic walking routes that can be joined in Whitby, or head inland to the North York Moors National Park where there are thousands of miles of walking routes. While exploring you’ll find the 199 steps that lead up to Whitby Abbey and the church of St Mary’s, which were made famous by the novel ’Dracula’. Whitby has a golden sandy beach as well as a marina where you can charter your own boat or join a trip out to sea to do a spot of whale watching. The traditional seaside resorts of Scarborough and Bridlington are just down the coast and the medieval walled city of York, with its Viking Centre and bustling cobbled streets, is a short drive away. There are also attractions such as Flamingoland, Eden Camp, Lightwater Valley and the Sea Life Centre all within easy driving distance. Beach ½ mile.

A very tired and run-down house. Looks like it's been rented out for a while with little to no maintenance.The roof leaks into the upstairs bedroom when it rains, there wasn't enough loo roll for the amount of guests staying and drinks glasses and crockery were mismatched and in short supply.

it was fine. We wanted a place to stay and this provided that, it was clean and had the amenities we needed. Its a really nice street, and the houses around look lovely, this place could be amazing. The decor inside is fairly dated and quite random, there is only one toilet and thats in the basement with the kitchen and there are a lot of stairs, so thats something to factor in. If you just need a place to stay, this is fine, if you want a house to cook in and spend a bit of time in, this would be it if it was updated, but for now, for the money, I would look elsewhere.

Our third time here this year. We love it. Very spacious, central, clean and homely. Other friends came this time and they were very impressed. Feels like coming home.
