Lovely house , perfect for family get togethers . The garden layout would be great to use in the summer .very well equipped . Just wish the house was a little nearer , we had to use the car to get into Whitby which wasn’t too much of a problem as we had a 7 seater , so only one lot of parking .

What a beautiful property, furnished and decorated to a high standard. Plenty of comfy sofas, a beautiful well equipped kitchen with dining area. Enough space for any family. We had a wonderful stay. They have thought of almost everything you need. It's a 15-20 minute walk to the town centre, which we didn't mind, and it is a 3 storey property, so some may struggle with the stairs. If I had anything to say it is that two of us struggled on the mattresses which are really hard and would benefit from a nice topper, but that's not a complaint it's an observation. Overall a beautiful place.
