Host & Stay - Railman's Rest

Lovely house with everything you could ask for to feel at home. I stayed here with my mum and sister and it was a wonderful base to explore Whitby and the surrounding areas. We loved how well equipped the kitchen is which made cooking a pleasure. Very clean and comfortable with friendly and responsive hosts. Thank you, we’ll be back!

The rear outside area could be improved as we did use it

We had a lovely stay and would happily recommend this Airbnb. The property is beautiful, with lots of thoughtful finishing touches that made it feel welcoming and comfortable. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the bed linen was excellent – we all slept really well.

We found the standard of cleanliness a little disappointing. Shower cubicle looked moldy around the outside. Kitchen cupboard under the sink smelt very musty along with the cupboard in the dining room. We opened up the washing powder compartment of the washing machine, intending to use it, but it was disgusting inside so we decided against using it. It all just felt a little unloved. Chairs in the lounge along with the cushions needed cleaning, recovering or something as they looked dirty and tired. Beds a little uncomfortable and pillows very flat. I appreciate its dog friendly and this can make it a little harder to keep everything ‘spick and span’. However, we’ve stayed in several dog friendly homes all of which have been kept spotless and you wouldn’t have been aware that numerous dogs had stayed there. Location to Whitby Centre was excellent. Parking anywhere near the home was a nightmare. Not anyone’s fault, but the noise from the seagulls at night was extreme to say the least.
