About this property
Adventure House
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.
Book easily online through the Finest Retreats website, and start looking forward to your next seaside vacation.

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.

Very large property. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds and bedding. Some bathrooms/en-suite need updating. The plumbing was quite noisy at times.

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.

We chose the house to accommodate our family of 11 for a long weekend to go on NYMR Santa special
All beds were comfortable with lovely fresh clean linen. We very much appreciated the 4 car parking spaces which would be a godsend in the summer months. Just one final observation we were told a cot was not available so we brought one with us but then discovered one in one of the wardrobes. In conclusion a fantastic property which I would recommend to any prospective client and also one I would happily return to.

A great location and we would love to stay again
It’s a beautiful home from home - large rooms and comfortable beds. A well equipped kitchen made it very easy to self cater.
The main lounge really could do with and additional 3 seater sofa with the 2 seater being relocated to the bay window area because if there are 10 adults it’s extremely uncomfortable and three are left without a suitable seat. The small tub seat has one wonky leg making it unstable.

Was a great stay very spacious house with plenty of parking - short walk into Whitby town centre .
House decor was ok and kitchen well stocked - bedrooms tidy with comfortable beds - very clean and tidy . Only small negative was with the keys which was very confusing as one set for front door and one set for back door - but not marked up - the locks were also very stiff . I think that the owner should review keys and make up 4 x complete set . Willing to bet that people get locked out on a regular basis otherwise ! But overall a great stay - would definitely stay at this property again !

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.
Spacious, well equipped.Excellent showers (apart from the electric one), and very comfortable beds.A little bit tired, especially bathrooms.A bit of basic maintenance required (roof, gutters, locks/handles)
