Lovely property with an easy walk to Whitby centre
This is a well presented, very clean house which is a short walk from Whitby centre. We had a couple of small issues which the management company have advised they will address, e.g. broken bathroom locks. Overall an enjoyable stay.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a positive review. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the property and we look forward to welcoming you back soon.
Very good location, 5 mins walk to the harbour. Beautiful house, comfortable beds.
There is no toilet facilities on the top floor, so you have to walk to one floor down to the toilet during the night. This is an issue for us. Apart from this, everything was good.
Anyway we all enjoy our stay there, will come back again.

Harbour view Whitby
Great views of Whitby over the river Esk. Well appointed good size living area and bedrooms as described on website we enjoyed our stay overall but have the following comments 1) Needs either a second dustbin or a larger bin as we arrived on Friday to an overflowing bin from the previous occupants which wasn't emptied till Tuesday and with 9 of us stopping we soon filled it up again. 2) If you have more than 2 cars its very difficult to park within easy reach of the house 3) The family bathroom door lock is very difficult to unlock. 4) The freezer needs defrosting as you can't open the drawers easily.

We appreciate the comments you have left, and we will pass this on and action anything necessary.
Parking can be very difficult in Whitby at times, so it's great that this property has on site parking available. We would recommend local pay and display car parks for anyone with more than 2 vehicles.
