The owner quickly replied to my response asking for an extra parking permit. The kitchen setup is tight for all 4 people to use at once, but fine once we were all sat down. Beds were okay, lounge was comfortable. Shower was snug, even for our 11 year-old. Access into the property was fine for us, but could be awkward if you had a pushchair or similar. The location was excellent for exploring Whitby. Parking is Whitby, it's always busy and you just have to reside yourself to the car not being outside, it is the same for a large proportion of the properties. However it is possible to get very close for loading/unloading. We would consider staying again, it was excellent value for money. ##### Daniel B.

Thank you very much. ##### Ferdinand S. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 23 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location Our third time staying here and loved it as usual. Sadly don't think we'll be able to as the only downside is there's a lot of stairs and my asking father sadly couldn't manage them very well this year. But for the physically okay it's a nice place in a great location ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Mark B. 13 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Weekend with mates This place had everything we needed and everything worked as it should. The beds were nice and comfy and the sheets were clean. I found Simon to be very accommodating and very flexible on checkout. The instructions he gave us for check-in were very clear. I would definitely check availability when coming back to Whitby. ##### Mark B.
