Guests say
George's View in Whitby is a well-regarded holiday rental, praised for its cleanliness, central location, and comfortable amenities. Guests appreciate the spacious and well-equipped property, ideal for families and groups. While parking can be challenging and the proximity to a lively pub may affect light sleepers, the overall experience is positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
The property consistently receives compliments for its cleanliness, with guests describing it as 'very clean and tidy' and 'beautifully clean'. This indicates a high standard of cleanliness maintained at the property.
The central location is highly praised for its convenience to local amenities and the town of Whitby. However, some guests mention noise from a nearby pub and parking difficulties, slightly affecting the score.
Guests find the property comfortable, with soft bedding and good-sized bedrooms. However, there are repeated comments about the need for new mattresses in the twin bedroom, suggesting room for improvement in this area.
The property is well-equipped and thoughtfully arranged for family needs, with large TVs and a sociable kitchen/diner/lounge. Maintenance issues like a broken toilet roll holder and requests for additional safety features in the shower are noted, indicating some areas need attention.
While guests have mentioned the inclusion of a welcome pack and previously received wine, there is not enough consistent information about gifts to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such gifts are a bonus and not guaranteed.

Situated in the heart of Whitby, it lies just a stones throw from the harbour and shops.

It is a coastline of dramatic views, with the highest point on the east coast of England found at Boulby, near Staithes, where the cliffs are a mighty 200 metres high. Photographic villages and tranquil bays are dotted along the coast.
Away from the beach, there is plenty to keep all ages entertained.

Famous for its fish and chip shops, Whitby also has a continually improving contemporary scene with wine bars and restaurants. Further afield is the North York Moors National Park, where you can take a ride on the steam train and see some stunning scenery. Alternatively, explore the traditional seaside town of Scarborough, the medieval walled city of York or the theme parks of Lightwater Valley and Flamingo Land Resort. Beach ½ mile. Shop and pub 10 yards, restaurant 15 yards.

We have stayed at this accomodation 3 times The location is excellent central to the local amenities. The accommodation is very pleasant, however last year we commented the single beds in the twin bedroom were very uncomfortable and in much need of new mattresses, my friends have bad back issues and were in some pain and discomfort. In the past this issue has been noted by other hoilday makers. We would definitely return as we love Whitby, but new mattresses in the twin bedroom would be much appreciated. Thank you
