  • Andy

    We had a great 4 nights at this property, it had everything we needed. It was easy to find, a nice parking space for the car. Mark met us when we arrived and showed us round how heating worked etc. Only a 5 minute walk in to the town, a bit longer on the way back as it’s uphill. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property.

  • Andrew Murray

    Excellent accommodation not far from the centre of Whitby but quiet location. Mark and Pauline are excellent hosts with everything that you would need in a holiday home with even a welcome pack. We would thoroughly recommend this holiday accommodation.
