    Second year at Flowegate House and amazing as always. Very clean with everything you could wish for. Fantastic views of Whitby and such a great central location. We could always get a space in the carpark nearby. We purchased a weekly parking ticket from the tourist office and could also use this in council car parks in nearby towns such as Robin Hoods Bay and Scarborough. Perfect week.

    This was our second mini break here, and we would definitely recommend. The location right in the town means everything (shops, restaurants, pier, beach, abbey, etc) is just a short walk away. Accommodation is spacious and comfortable and was clean. Car parking was a slight faff but was fine. All in all a good place to stay.
