Rachel
The house is in a quiet residential area with easy parking, but close enough to walk into Whitby itself - approx 15 minutes downhill. There are lovely walks from the door along the cinder path, again steep in places but with lovely views. The house is very well equipped, clean and comfortable with lots of thoughtful touches (flowers, milk and biscuits etc). Great communication from Helen, the owner prior to our arrival too. Highly recommended.
