We had the best time. Great location. Great value for money. Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Massive dining table for everyone to sit round. Had a bbq which was great. Can’t wait to go back.

Great family house was perfect for my wife’s 60th with all the family there. Great location for all of Whitby’s attractions only issue was the parking which was a bit tight!!! Would definitely book again
