Clean, homely and friendly neighbours both sides but an information folder would be nice stating nearest hospital,doctors,dentist etc. Also what buses stop on road near by plus info on what to do with rubbish etc, we had to ask next door.A few more basics in kitchen like a baking tray or 2, we had to use the grill pan a couple of times. This is a lovely house and we have stayed in another propery on this complex before, both suffer with creaky upstairs floors and landing so no chance of a quiet visit to the bathroom in the night! Saying all this it must be the best locations in Whitby with the steam train to watch and the slipway opposite with things going on.
