While some minor issues such as creaky floors, occasional maintenance points, and the comfort of the sofa are mentioned, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, making it a popular choice for repeat visitors.
The majority of guests describe the property as very clean, spotless, and well-presented. A few minor comments mention musty smells in wardrobes and a smelly cupboard, but these are exceptions rather than the rule.
The location is repeatedly highlighted as ideal, with easy access to Whitby’s attractions, shops, and the beach, while still being peaceful. The private parking space is a significant bonus.

Alice's Place is ideally situated in the centre of Whitby, with shops and restaurants within a couple of minutes' walk. It is spacious, comfortable, beautifully decorated, and very well equipped. Although central, it is in a very quiet location, with no street noise at night.My only small proviso is that the private parking space is accessed down a narrow lane and the turn is tight. We have a Nissan Qashqai and I would not like to try parking a car that was much larger than that.
