Had an amazing stay here for a long weekend. Stunning backdrop and walking distance for Whitby. Property was very clear and well kitted out and beds really comfy! You won’t be disappointed.

Lovely house with everything you need.
6 / 10Average·Apr 2024
First impression wasn’t great as it was incredibly tricky to unlock any of the three doors. The key opened all of the doors but not always. We often had to use a different door to the one we wanted to leave the house by, as the door wouldn’t unlock or lock again. Maybe replace the locks for less temperamental ones? Also when going to use crockery and cutlery they were not always clean, similarly kitchen work surfaces. Also a number of the window ledges and spare toilet rolls had long term spiders webs on them, which suggests not enough attention had been given to the cleaning. We think the timer hadnt been changed when the clocks moved forward as the heating came on an hour after it should so it was pretty cold when we were getting up on a morning. The location of the house was perfect and we loved being able to see the steam trains, walk acrossmthe viaduct for the outstanding views and watch the tide come and go along with the wild life that came as a result of the location. It would have been helpful if we had been informed before our visit that the road closures of Larpool Lane were to be ignored in order to get to the property. We took a chance and drove around the barrier as we knew of no other way to get to the house. The house was well equipped with everything we needed for our visit and the voucher for reduced price drinks at the rowing club was very much appreciated. Overall the house suited us well and we loved its location.
