Property was clean and well equipped. Excellent location for exploring Whitby. Provision of a dustpan and brush would have been useful.

Great little place - great location if you don’t mind the steep path and steps to the high
Great little place - great location if you don’t mind the steep path and steps to the high street - or a longer walk back down green lane. As the details stated the driveway was VERY steep! Comfy and cozy - could do with mirrors in the upstairs bedrooms and a bit of storage but that didn’t upset the stay!
