We had a marvellous holiday in Whitby, enhanced by the comfort and warmth of the Coachman's House. The location at the back of a 'yard' was perfect for all amenities and the Black Horse pub at the start of the yard deserves special mention, good beers and cocktails with exceptional food choices, the beef and blue was to die for! The cottage was very well equipped, very clean and very well designed and decorated. It was warm and cosy with all that you would need for a stay. We would be very happy to return to Whitby and to the the Coachman's House.
