Guests say
Abbeydale Town House is praised for its excellent location close to Whitby’s attractions and spacious layout, making it ideal for families and groups. Guests appreciate the comfortable bedrooms and helpful management team. However, several reviews mention issues with cleanliness, maintenance, and the lack of promised parking permits. Some thoughtful touches for children were noted, though these are not always provided. Overall, the property offers a homely base in a prime spot, but would benefit from improved upkeep and attention to detail.
Cleanliness is a recurring concern, with multiple guests reporting stained carpets, dust, and areas requiring cleaning before use. Some guests found the property clean, but the majority highlight the need for a deep clean and better attention to detail.
The location is consistently praised, with guests highlighting its proximity to the beach, town centre, and local amenities. Most found it ideal for exploring Whitby on foot.
Guests generally found the house spacious and the beds comfortable, with ample bathrooms and good heating. Some mention tired furnishings and minor maintenance issues affecting comfort, but overall the property is considered homely and suitable for families.
Facilities are mixed; the property is well-equipped in some respects, but guests report missing or insufficient crockery, lack of wardrobes, and maintenance issues such as broken fixtures and damp. The absence of promised parking permits is a frequent complaint.
Some guests appreciated thoughtful touches like beach toys and DVDs for children, but these are not guaranteed. Towels and a welcome book with local recommendations were also noted, though consistency in these extras varies.

No smoking. . This Victorian terraced town house was built when Whitby became a highly fashionable spa resort. Abbeydale Town House, has been renovated to a very good standard retaining many of its original features. Whitby is known for its quirkiness and its many little alleyways and ginnels that take you down to the seafront. A busy working harbour awaits with a small vibrant fishing fleet that bring in their catch on a daily basis. Just around the corner from the harbour there’s a large sandy beach, great for all ages with donkey rides, sandcastles and rock pools. Perched on the hilltop is Whitby Abbey, famous for many reasons but one is the fact that it has 199 steps from the old town to the abbey. The Cleveland Way passes through Whitby as it follows the coastline down to Filey. It’s a stunning walk along the rugged clifftops and down into the small coves. For those who like a more leisurely stroll there’s the Cinder Path which is the old railway that goes from Whitby to Scarborough, over 20 miles of flat walking. The resorts of Robin Hood’s Bay, Sandsend, Staithes and Scarborough are all a short drive away. Abbeydale is a great base to visit the east coast, the North York Moors and the Wolds. Beach 500 yards. Shop 300 yards, pub and restaurant 400 yards.

As a family of 4 that have stayed in many properties in Whitby we were really impressed with Abbeydale. The bedrooms were very comfortable, with amazing views from attic room. With two ensuites and 4 toilets in all you are literally spoilt for choice in that department. It's an expensively fitted house with good central heating when needed.I'd happily book her again.Dropped one star for entrance hall carpet cleanliness but otherwise everything is clean and well equipped.Another front door key would be useful though there is a backdoor key.

The property is in a great location for the beach and town centre and for this reason we would book the property again. However the property is in desperate need of some attention. The carpets are very dirty, there is insufficient matching crockery, cutlery and glasses. Having to go out and purchase glasses whilst on holiday is not what you would expect. There are no wardrobes and insufficient drawers. Having to live out of your suitcase is again not what you would expect. There were no scratch cards which many visitors have mentioned and even though I raised this with the office prior to our stay, they were not available. Too many other bits and pieces to mention here but raised with Cottages.com to pass to the owners. Let’s hope they act on some of these points so that other visitors can enjoy the property.

There are two many issues to go over it was the worst place I have ever stayed, the only plus point was that cottages.com team were amazing and did their best to help and the maintenance man Elliott was a credit to them absolute top draw I would recommend cottages.com all day but the property was a disgrace
