Alan, Lynn and Emma
Pros kitchen well appointed good equipment and space. 3 Bathrooms/shower rooms one on ground floor. Plenty of towels. Heating and hot water effective. Beds very comfortable. Sofas comfortable. Close to Whitby Westcliff area with shops and cafes. Dog friendly.Cons Parking space very restricted needing lot of shuffling to fit car on also access to it between cars parked on road was hazardous.Visible areas had been cleaned but not under or behind furniture which was filthy. This is not what we are comfortable living in. Em spent couple of hours cleaning her bedroom before she could sleep in it.Eatimg in the Dining room was dark with only light borrowed from adjacent rooms.Outside table and chairs covered in cobwebs. Plastic lawn not attractive.Expensive you get much better for what you pay here. So overall its not a property we would come back to or recommend.

Excellent property for our family gathering loads of space, the parking was a bonus with access to the buses. Lovely big living space, plenty of toilet rolls and good stacked kitchen with a big fridge/freezer.Little things like the cushion covers needed washing, tv remote didn’t work in front bedroom upstairs, back upstairs bedroom the shower didn’t regulate properly it was either hot or cold and one of the sun loungers was broken. These things would not stop us booking it again but would make it even better for future guests.
