Had a fantastic week at Normanby House in Whitby over the Witsun Week. Accomodation had everything we needed and was very comfortable. We found the position of the property meant we had everything on our doorstep or a short walk away - beach/pubs/eating/abbey/attractions. Can highly recommend.

Nicely maintained property. Very clean and close to all amenities. Welcome pack helpful and owners arranged early access and later departure. Only drawback is limited headroom on top floor but this did not spoil our enjoyment of the property.
