Adventure House is a splendid, stylish five-bedroom vacation home that sleeps ten guests, laid out generously over four floors in central Whitby. Boasting two living rooms, four bathrooms, and private off-street parking for four cars, this is the ideal choice for those wanting a laid-back luxurious getaway.
Inside, there is plenty of character and a wonderful homey feel, with period features such as huge bay windows and stunning feature fireplaces throughout. On the ground floor the kitchen is very well equipped, with everything guests could need including dishwasher, washing machine and dryer, plus all the kitchenware to whip up your favorite vacation cuisine. There is a separate dining room, with a table to comfortably seat ten, with the capability to extend if needed, and a highchair available if required. The main living room has a beautiful bay window letting the light flood in, a decorative fireplace and luxurious leather couches to sink into - perfect for relaxing in front of the television after a long day of adventures.
The first floor has two bedrooms, one with a king size bed and ensuite with bath and shower over. The second bedroom on this floor has a king sized bed and can make use of the main bathroom, situated on a half landing between the ground and first floor. The main family bathroom, which is beautifully styled, boasts a freestanding roll-top bath in the center of the room, and a separate shower enclosure.
On the second floor, there is a second living room with lots of books, puzzles, games and a second television and DVD player - an ideal family or games room for older children to have their own space. There is also another bright and airy bedroom at this level, with a king size bed and en-suite bathroom with a bath and shower over.
Up to the third floor, there is a further double bedroom, and twin bedroom, with another bathroom with bath and shower over.
Outside, there is a rear enclosed patio area with small bistro table and chairs, space to store all your beach equipment, and steps up to the access road behind. To the rear of the property there are also four private parking spaces belonging to the house, which means you can come and go in the car at your leisure without worrying about parking again at the end of the day.
To the rear of the car parking area there is an enclosed graveled garden with large shed suitable for storing bikes (please contact Finest Retreats in advance to arrange access during your stay).
Locally, Whitby offers everything you need for a great getaway, although if you prefer to adventure a little further afield, there is some stunning coastline and landscapes to be explored in the surrounding area.
Along the coast, there is Sandsend Beach, Kettleness Beach and the picturesque Runswick Bay. If you venture further inland there is the North York Moors National Park to discover, offering incredible hiking, cycling or rambling.

Lovely property in a great location. Very warm and comfortable.
Property was spacious, comfortable and warm. Location was ideal, with local attractions, shops, restaurants and great walks very close by.
Kitchen was well equipped. Second sitting room was great for teenagers. WIFI excellent.
Some minor maintenance needed, e.g. dishwasher rack, smell in one bathroom, and refreshing of the chipped/mis-matched crockery and glasses. Providing tea towels in the kitchen and an extra bin bag or two would be helpful.

Great house, great location
Great location. House was ideal and contributed to having a great holiday. Rooms were a great size and although we didn’t cook kitchen was well equipped. Beds were wonderful.
There was a crab bucket and old bait left in the cupboard off the dining room which meant that room was completely unusable until we found the said item and aired the room.

Lovely house, perfect for our family of 10 to celebrate an 80th birthday.
House was clean and cosy but also very spacious - didn't feel like there was 10 people there. Good location although a bit of a slippy experience getting down to the town with the icy conditions but just added to the fun. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful House!
Plenty of room for our party of 10. Only 5-10 minutes walk into Whitby centre.
Perhaps more of a mention that there are a good few steps to access the house, both front and back (not a big problem for us) and although Whitby centre is very close there was a steep hill to negotiate, a slight problem for us but we managed. Both the steps and the hill would have an impact on the elderly and disabled.

wonderful
booked last minute after previous stay cancelled, house was as described and clean throughout, good location for walks into town and the wonderful traffic free cinder path located behind the house
Very large property. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds and bedding. Some bathrooms/en-suite need updating. The plumbing was quite noisy at times.

Great location, great facilities
Location was excellent and having off road parking was a real bonus. Liked it so much we have already booked it for next year
An extra set of front door keys. Because we were a group of friends and not all going to the same event and were coming back at different times, we really could have done with another set at least.

80th Birthday Weekend!
The house is perfect for a number of guests of all ages. The rooms are so spacious. The games room is an added bonus. We celebrated my mum’s 80th Birthday for the weekend with family and it was perfect! It was really warm. The bedrooms are lovely. The welcome basket was a lovely touch too. Thank you.
The only suggestion we had was, perhaps a mat in the bath for when you are having a shower. It could get a little bit slippy.
