Fabulous place and good location. Only negatives were the number of steps to the building and parking was quite tight

This was a lovely property in an ideal location. However, do be aware of the stairs. It's on a hill with 38 steps up and is then a 3 storey property. The house was gorgeous. The property is really comfortable and it made our stay a great one. Local amenities are really handy and Whitby is a fabulous place to stay. As hosts, you were really responsive and helpful. All in all a terrific stay that was enjoyed by our whole party.

Stayed for 2 nights so difficult to rate properly. Location is close to the centre, an easy walk. Property is three-storey with kitchen/lounge on the top floor. Modern property with all you need for a stay-cay. Check in 4pm - would’ve liked earlier. Check out 10am, would’ve like later. Being picky: Dusty lampshades, damp (?) patches in lower ground bathroom. Rear neighbours lighting bonfires Saturday morning which smoked the place out. £200 per night felt a little excessive though comparable throughout Whitby. I think £150 per night more acceptable. Would I stay again? Maybe.
