  • An elegant family townhouse close to Whitby Beach
  • Featuring a fantastic games room and four cosy bedrooms across four floors
  • With a charming private patio garden for enjoying the sunshine

Property code: OC-W125

Centrally located close to Whitby’s historic harbour, this wonderfully spacious family home is perfect for a group gathering on the spectacular Yorkshire coast. With your four-legged friend welcome to join you, spend happy days exploring the region’s coastal countryside and wide sandy beaches with Fido by your side.

Presented over four floors, the property has been refurbished to a high standard throughout creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that will have you feeling right at home as soon as you enter the door. Kick back and relax in the cosy lounge after a day of adventure, with the warming coal-effect fire sure to be popular with the hound. The stylish kitchen/diner is the social heart of the home, where you can cook a delicious meal in the modern kitchen and then plan the next day''s activities over a shared meal at the dining table. The fantastic games room on the lower ground floor will keep children entertained for hours, and the family bathroom can also be found on this floor, alongside a handy utility room. Outside, the suntrap courtyard garden is the perfect spot for your morning coffee or evening sun-downer. Take a seat on the comfortable outdoor seating whilst Rover explores the fully enclosed boundaries. When it comes time for bed or basket, four charming bedrooms await, three on the first floor, alongside another bathroom, and a large master en-suite bedroom on the second floor tucked romantically under the sloping eaves of the roof.

With its atmospheric abbey towering over winding cobbled streets, expansive sandy beach offering traditional seaside fun, and working harbour, it’s easy to see why Whitby is a firm holiday favourite. The sweeping shoreline of Whitby Beach is 350 metres from your door. There is a seasonal dog restriction in place from the beginning of May until the end of September, so head to the town''s sheltered Tate Hill Beach (0.5 miles) for year-round beachside fun with furry friends. There are many dog-friendly cafes and pubs in Whitby, so make sure to try the world-famous fish and chips, sparing a nibble for Fido too! For a walk to get tails wagging, join the Cleveland Way, which runs through the town, and strike out towards magnificent coastal cliff-top scenery with plenty of exciting sights, sounds and smells for canine companions to investigate along the way.

A lot of issues need sorting urgently for safety and comfort of guests. High level dust was really bad. Kitchen equipment old and needs sorting

Location and water pressure excellent. Everything else, very disappointing.... We specifically booked this property for the games room to keep our teens and tweens happy. There were no games, just a load of broken/ mixed up puzzles. There was no table and no ball for the table football. The TV didn't work. There was an inventory full of kitchen Read moreequipment - unfortunately a lot of this was missing or broken. My mum cut herself on a broken mug that had been put back in the cupboard. There was broken stuff all over the house, including a kick board in the kitchen, blind in the upstairs bedroom, shower head in the main bathroom. The level of cleanliness is the worst I've ever experienced. We were asked when we'd like the cleaners to come back. I said between 9 and 9.30am, so we all got up and dressed, waited in and noone turned up. No-one was answering phones. In the end, we went out about 11 and apparently the cleaners came about 4, but it wasn't much better. Some of the customer service was ok and a couple of games and sets of glasses were dropped off, but unfortunately it was too little, too late. I wouldn't stay here again until a lot of work has been put into this poor unloved house. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk - thank you for your feedback this has been passed onto the management team and the owner to rectify these issues for future guests and improvements have been planned by the owner.

Back door and windows were jammed. Cellar was extremely damp and a health hazard. Games were all broken including table football. Books were so old and so few. No instructions for appliances. Back yard was filthy nothing like photographs. Workmen came to do hedges were were not informed and we had young children present. Back door and toilet door aRead morend windows jammed. We got stuck in the downstairs toilet. Baking sheets in kitchen rusty. The back gate needed attention as the young children could get out onto the hotel car park. This property had obviously just been decorated so it looked lovely. Expected facilities to match the price. The description and some photographs were misleading. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk - Thank you for your comments the feedback has been fed back to the management team for their attention. Hide
