Albany House in Whitby is praised for its spaciousness, comfort, and central location, with many guests enjoying the ample parking and the property's suitability for large groups. While some guests mention minor maintenance issues and cleanliness niggles, the overall sentiment is positive, with particular appreciation for the thoughtful touches like welcome hampers.
Guests generally find Albany House clean, but some have reported issues such as cobwebs, debris under appliances, and a smell in one of the bathrooms. These seem to be isolated incidents rather than a widespread problem.
The location is highly praised for being central, convenient for exploring Whitby, and offering ample parking. It is within walking distance to key attractions, making it an ideal base for visitors.
The property is frequently described as comfortable and spacious, with good bedding and constant hot water. Some guests noted issues with showers and a need for thicker curtains, but overall, the comfort level is high.
Facilities are generally well-received, especially the kitchen equipment and the availability of an apartment below. However, some guests feel the kitchen is poorly planned and the property requires updates and maintenance, particularly in the bathrooms and with the heating system.
Many guests appreciate the thoughtful touches such as welcome hampers, although it is noted that these are not guaranteed. The provision of items like milk, tea, and coffee upon arrival is mentioned positively.
A sumptuous Georgian semi-detached town house, centrally located in the beautiful seaside town of Whitby. Albany House is a few minutes walk from the atmospheric harbour, with famous swing bridge, where you can while away time over a relaxing drink in one of the many waterfront restaurants and watch the boats come and go – perfect for people watching and soaking up the bustling ambience.
Families seeking a special place to get together, will fall in love with this splendid townhouse. Its five bedrooms and four bath/shower rooms arranged on upper ground, first and second floors can generously accommodate larger groups in style. The house also benefits from private parking.
Start your day leisurely at Albany House with a delicious and convivial breakfast at the farmhouse-style table in the superb kitchen with dining area. A large range cooker and wall-mounted Flat Screen TV are there to enjoy. There is a separate utility room with washer/dryer and additional fridge.
After a day spent exploring, relax together over coffee in the refined surroundings of the drawing room, with its comfortable seating and welcoming selection of books and games.
Guests are spoilt for choice with two wonderful first floor double bedrooms, both of which have king size beds and en-suites. Choose from a romantic, four-poster bed with matching armoire and granite-topped chest of drawers or a beautifully carved silver bed with fantastic views of Whitby Abbey. A smart house bathroom with bath incorporating a fixed shower unit, basin and WC completes the first floor.
Moving up to the second floor, you’ll find another charming double bedroom with a brass bed, an airy twin bedroom with sea, harbour and Whitby Abbey views plus there is also a pretty single bedroom. This floor has a shower room with shower, basin and WC.
Catch the sun and pause a while in the paved front courtyard garden complete with table and chairs.
The area is well served with a wide range of convenience and specialist shops immediately on hand. Spend a day on sandy West Cliff beach or enjoy delicious, freshly caught seafood or award-winning fish and chips.
Should you wish to explore further afield, the stunning Yorkshire coast has something for everyone. From quaint fishing villages, such as Staithes, to surfing at Sandsend. Or if it’s good old fashioned seaside fun you’re looking for, then Scarborough is the place – check out its award winning Sea Life Sanctuary.
This glorious property is a place to make memories that will last long after you’ve enjoyed Yorkshire’s many charms.
The ancient fishing port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk and is ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire, with its superb coastline and close proximity to the spectacular North York Moors.
