Lovely decor fitting to the age of the house...the bed linen was the best...well stocked kitchen for cooking and the reception rooms with open fires made it so cosy. The best room in the house for the young ones (as well as the oldies) was the games room, we had a room full of laughter...such a great idea. We will for sure return one day for our next family gathering. Thank you :-) P.S The welcome pack was amazing too...!!

Location - this property is conveniently located within easy walking distance of all the wonders that Whitby has to offer. Parking - as stated there is convenient off road private parking for 4 full size vehicles. (2 of our party had fully electric vehicles, the EV charging infrastructure of Whitby is still quite poor, if an EV charger were available at the property car park we would have happily paid for the convenience. Something possibly to think about). The house and amenities are over 4 floors; Basement - a fabulously equipped and stocked games room, a huge tv and comfy sofas. Thereâs access onto the beautiful enclosed front garden. Ground Floor - a large kitchen diner, 2 x sitting rooms. 1st and 2nd floors are bedrooms. It was such a delight to enjoy original features, sit in the various rooms and let your mind wander to previous timesâ¦. The original fireplaces in the sitting rooms are still in use and feature fire places and other wonderful original features remain in situe in other rooms. Although we visited in February (10th to 17th) the house was warm and there was a plentiful supply of hot water. The quality of fixtures, fittings and furnishings were excellent. It felt like we were staying in the home of a much loved aunt as opposed to a rental due to the quality and thoughtfulness that has been put into the presentation of the property. There were some issues on our arrival that I took up with housekeeping so I donât feel it necessary to go into further detail here. I would however like to say that previous users of this property can hang their heads in shame; putting filthy pots and pans back in cupboards - you are disgusting. The kitchen equipment is well stocked and there has to be an element of trust to occupants that they will respect the contents, the only reasonable alternative being that the contents would be significantly stripped back for inventory checking. So everyone would get less facilities because some filthy pigs have no decency. I remain appreciative to the owner(s) of this property for their discretion in allowing us to enjoy this beautiful property with our dogs. I hope you will have found that we very much respected the trust afforded us and left this beautiful property with as little trace of us as was possible.

The pool table was very popular, comfy beds and a great pizza shop down the road. Loved the cafe at the bottom of the road and saw a band in one of the local pubs.
