Well situated within Whitby, walkable distance to both beach and town, if a steep walk back!Clean pleasant townhouse - we felt it seemed a bit sparsely equipped in the kitchen but it actually had everything we required! Not tons of wardrobe/drawer storage in the lower bedroom but just about adequate for our 5 night stay. Seagulls quite noisy at night but it is the seaside!!Felt a little overlooked - as it's tucked between rows of houses but generally we would recommend the townhouse- we had a great time! Whitby is lovely

The house was well equipped and comfortable. A good walk into town and a great playground for the grandchild halfway there.

Lovely house , perfect for family get togethers . The garden layout would be great to use in the summer .very well equipped . Just wish the house was a little nearer , we had to use the car to get into Whitby which wasn’t too much of a problem as we had a 7 seater , so only one lot of parking .
