About this property

Fairleigh is an impressive period semi-detached property, well located close to the centre of Whitby. Ideally located for touring the North York Moors National Park and the Heritage Coast, it is perfect for a superb family holiday, being just a short stroll to the centre of this popular seaside resort. Set over three floors, it has been beautifully and tastefully renovated to a high standard, whilst retaining many original features and traditional charm. The ground floor features a modern well-equipped kitchen and a separate dining room with a large wall-mounted TV, where families can gather and enjoy a home-cooked meal. The spacious and comfortable sitting room has a warming electric fireplace with a wooden mantle piece and a large bay window throwing in plenty of light. Also handy cloakroom and utility just through the kitchen, where the dishwasher and the washing machine and the tumble dryer are as well as being able to hang your coats and all your shoes and boots here too and then shut the door on them so they are not in use, then a toilet and basin in the boiler room beyond completes the ground floor. The four spacious bedrooms, all with wall-mounted TVs are set over the two upper floors, three of them with en-suite shower rooms and one with an additional sofa bed, offering flexibility in sleeping arrangements. Two of the bedrooms have far reaching views to the distant hills. The contemporary family bathroom is situated on the half landing and has a lovely deep freestanding bath and a walk-in shower. At the front of the house is an patio, while there is off-road parking for one car at the back, a rare find in Whitby. A ten-minute walk down Prospect Hill brings you into the hustle and bustle of this historic town, with its narrow streets and alleyways to explore, the cobbled market square and abundance of independent shops. Partake in a scrumptious afternoon tea in the numerous quaint tea rooms, enjoy cocktails overlooking the harbour and not to be missed are the renowned fish and chips. Whitby boasts safe sandy beaches, coastal cruises and an attractive harbour. Climb the 199 steps up to the famous Whitby Abbey, where you can join the Cleveland Way for an invigorating cliff top walk, sure to blow the cobwebs away. For the more adventurous, book an evening ghost walk, sure to be a big hit with everyone! With the stunning scenery of the moors to explore and the rugged coastline to discover, this charming property makes a wonderful base for families and friends throughout the year.

Whitby is a seaside town in North Yorkshire, England, situated near the River Esk on the East Coast. The town developed as a shipping port during the middle ages, but it only became a tourist spot in the Georgian period, with the construction of the railway. With its close proximity to the North York Moors and the abundance of historical architecture, this is not a place to be missed.

    Very large property so plenty of space to relax. Good location near to Whitby centre. Good to have designated parking spot. Accommodation had everything you could possibly need. Very comfortable beds and we all had a great stay-thank you

    For a much needed weekend away we decided to book this beautiful place. A great location, with just a 10 minute walk to the beach and the heart of Whitby, Prospect Hill was just what we were looking for. As soon as we entered the house, it was clear it had everything we wished for. Four beautiful large bedrooms, three of which has en-suites, the main bathroom was a place of relaxation and was clearly designed for just that. Although the house has been beautifully modernised in the bathroom and en-suites, original features in the heart of the house were kept which gave us a homely relaxing feeling that we look for. The large dining room and living room was great for us all to get together and have that family time we enjoy the most.. The owners of the house had also kindly put the heating on for us arriving given our stay was in winter it was certainly appreciated! We was apprehensive at first on what to expect given previous negative reviews on problems previous guests had discovered however these problems had clearly been taken on board by the owners and rectified. The only regret was that we didn't book the house for longer. All in all it is a warm and cosy house that felt like home, we will certainly be booking this house again.

    But I think more care needs to be taken with making sure it’s cleaned properly and everything should function as it should. Lots of dust on one of the head boards and behind bed, cobwebs clearly visible in a few places, only one tv out of the 3 bedrooms work and that was due to me having to take one HDMI cable from my tv to put in another room. Some remotes not working or not having batteries at all. Both extractor fans not working in front bedroom toilet, also two clocks not working, A lack of hand soap. We had four kids in our party and a few Christmas decorations would have been nice but nothing. All this could be put right for a few pounds, and when we are spending over a £1,000 for four night we’d expect a bit more. Disappointing as nothing majorly wrong but all the small things added up.
