The welcome we received from Mark was so warm and friendly, we were made to feel at home straight away. The property itself was immaculate and had everything that needed for the stay, it was so comfortable and in perfect condition. Mark was so helpful with information about the property and what things were around the area, we were also impressed with the welcome pack that gave us everything we needed to get started (and much more too). Whitby was just a 10 minute stroll down the road, maybe a few minutes longer to get back up the hill, but it was good exercise!! Having a parking space was also a bonus, we visited a lot of the lovely towns and places around the area and it was great to come back knowing there was a space waiting for us.There are so many lovely towns to visit that are within a 30 minute drive and well worth going to, but there is also lots to do in Whitby with the Abbey being a good attraction. The food and drink offering in Whitby is amazing quality, especially The Magpie Cafe, Bagdale Hall and Abbey Wharf. I cannot recommend Downdinner Hill enough and we will definitely stay there again on our next visit to Whitby

With only a 10 minute down to the town centre.The bedroom had plenty of draws to empty your suitcase into and the bed was very comfortable.The walk in shower was all that you could ask for after a day of adventuring.The living area was so good to relax in, with all that you needed to feel very much at home.Mark and Pauline were so welcoming and such lovely hosts. Sharing their great knowledge of the area. The welcome pack was such a thoughtful gift.We would definitely be going back to The Downdinner Hill and would recommend it as a great holiday home to stay in. Thank you Mark and Pauline
