  Just on our way back home from a fantastic holiday…a week staying in Fawcet House in Whitby.

  I originally booked it for 3 adults and 2 children, however, grandma dropped out of the trip. Even if she had come with us, the cottage would have been more than spacious for us all. A lovely living, dining, cooking space greets you on the top floor, with an amazing view of the church and abbey and surrounding buildings. It is well-equipped (kitchen particularly!) and very comfortable and spotlessly clean. All three bedrooms are nicely furnished with really comfortable beds. We all had a great night’s sleep every night. The location is really convenient…very close to the river and access to all the attractions without being so close you’re bothered by any noise. There’s a Poundland within 50 yards which was really useful for little bits we’d forgotten. It’s worth being well aware of the two flights of stairs you need to negotiate within the cottage. Not a problem at all for us, but could be an issue if you have mobility issues. It is also about an 8-10 minute walk from the car park (the paid-for permit is brilliant), which again, wasn’t a problem for us but important to know. We had only a couple of trips out in the car anyway…York and Staithes, both were brilliant days out. Highly recommend Fawcet House!!

  We stayed at Fawcet House in Feb 23 as a family of 4 with a dog.

  This was one of our best holiday apartments and we’ve stayed in quite a few over the years! Communication with the owner prior and on arrival was great. The place was spotless and had everything we needed to have a very comfortable self catering stay right in the middle of Whitby. Unloading the car outside the property was easy and parking not an issue in the west cliff car park less than 10 mins stroll. Noise from the street was not an issue as the apartment feels nice and tucked away even though there are a few pubs close by. Even the sea gulls were inaudible through the double glazing meaning a peaceful and relaxing stay and I’m a light sleeper! Smart TV was bang up to date and the sound bar and sub were a nice addition when we fancied a night in with a film. The location also meant our teenage kids could pop out on their own and visit the various coffee/cake shops that Whitby has to offer without mum and dad which gave them some independence. All in all we loved our stay here and can’t wait to come back again.

  Amazing stay at the The Hideaway, We actually managed to get there without a car and it was quite easy!

  even better if you are driving and the hosts Alan & Helen do provide amazing instructions for getting to the place. In terms of the hut, it is the most well equipped and well thoughout place ive slept in for a very long time. Anything you might need for comfort is provided and more, including cooking tools ( induction hob also available ) hot water, and everything else promised with some extra bits for you to find. The area is absolutely beautiful and if you catch some sunlight you will be absolutely lost in the forest and hills around the area. I absolutely do recommend the the hideaway for any type of getaway, but most especially one with your other half. Thank you Alan & Helen, you guys are amazing hosts :)

  Lovely cottage in a really central location in Whitby.

  The cottage is very well furnished and decorated, all facilities you could want are provided, we really enjoyed our short stay and would definitely consider a return visit. Excellent location for Whitby and the surrounding area, we enjoyed a lot of cliff top and beach walks. The only thing that could be improved would be the directions to the cottage, it was easy to find the street, but the details of where the gates to the cottage are could be clearer, there is no mention either of the coffee shop which is in effect the first floor of the property. It was closed when we visited, but could perhaps be noisy if open. That said, it is a wonderful cottage and one that we would visit again very happily.

  Hidden Gem!

  Large spacious house in the centre of Whitby with superb views. Added bonus of a parking pass for West Cliff car park a short walk away and space to drop off bags outside the cottage. Granted no parking right outside the cottage but with the central location this can’t be helped. Immaculately clean and well equipped kitchen with added bonus of a washer. Bottle of wine, milk and chocolate on arrival lovely touch. Fantastic cafe called Ellie’s underneath cottage with friendly owners, handy to have on your doorstep. We have already booked for next year and would 100% recommend.
