Property code: OC-W474

This beautiful Grade II-listed house in Whitby provides luxury living across four floors. It has stunning period features and interiors, complemented by quirky pieces and contemporary design. With four gorgeous, equally sized bedrooms, a secure walled courtyard, and a sunny garden, it’s the ideal holiday hideaway for a large group with their furry friends.

The impressive 17th-century property has two entrances, one at the lower-ground-floor level and one on the ground floor. Also on the lower ground floor are the impressive kitchen and dining room, as well as a table football table, the washing machine, and a cloakroom with a WC. Up a spiral staircase are a snug and a drawing room, both with elegant Georgian features and comfy sofas. On the first floor, there’s a huge bathroom, two luxury bedrooms with plush king-size beds and TVs, and one has an en-suite shower room. On the second-floor landing is a large wardrobe that serves the other two bedrooms, a double and a twin. There’s also a second luxurious bathroom with coloured lights over the bath. Outside is a small walled courtyard and a front garden that catches the sun.

Whitby is a popular seaside town known for its narrow winding streets, beaches and associations with Captain Hook and Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Head up the 199 steps to the ruins of the gothic abbey that inspired Bram Stoker or visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum in town to find out more about his incredible voyages. Head out with your furry friend by your side on the Cleveland Way, with beautiful walking routes in both directions. One popular walk is from Whitby to Robin Hood’s Bay, roughly 7 miles along the clifftops. The North York Moors are close by with miles of stunning countryside waiting to be explored too.

Fabulous property - highly recommended. The owners have put a lot of thought into everything you could possibly need to make your stay at The Old Theatre as comfortable and as enjoyable as possible. Its location is excellent - within walking distance of all key attractions and close to the pick up point for the Whitby tour bus (great value).

We absolutely loved the property. It is very well equipped and well presented. Slight issues with bed sheets. Hard bits of plastic stuck on sheets ? a laundry issue. The house is in a great location but with that comes the challenge of parking. We parked on the Street behind the house and used parking permits as advised. Our car was seriouslyRead more damaged by what I suspect are local residents. The car had to be written off by the insurance company. It was smashed with a hammer and then covered in baked beans yoghurt carrots and chocolate powder. Not the MO of passing youths that are up to mischief. Police informed. There had been previous case. Sadly we contacted the booking company and owners and have not received any response from either party. Hide

What a lovely property. We booked the Old Theatre for Christmas and it was great, there were 6 of us and two dogs, and the property had been nicely decorated for us. Location is really handy for quick and easy access to the town. You get provided with parking permits for one car for the duration of the stay, the street where the property is is a deRead moread end and parking is tight but once you're parked up you have everything you need on your doorstep. The house itself has a bit of a quirky but fun layout, it's really quiet as well which is nice. Having two living rooms is also really good if you want to escape for a little bit or leave the kids to it in another room. The kitchen is also really well appointed with all the equipment you'll need, we've never seen so many glasses! If you do bring dogs then be aware there is no grass area, just a courtyard at the rear and a patio area to the front but this was fine for us and it's only a few minutes walk to the beach. There is also a small park at the top end of the street. We would certainly stay here again as and when we come back with a group. Hide
