Good but a few minor issues
A lovely property set for a holiday let but we had a coupled minor niggles. Firstly on arriving we were expecting 2 parking spaces, no chance on this earth of getting 2 normal sized cars on the drive, listing should be updated. We did have one small car which we managed (just) to park in the garage, with the other on the drive. Secondly we found a used vape under the bottom sheet in one of the beds, only found when getting in bed and lying on it, not great. And lastly, when we attempted to use the dishwasher we found that the door wouldn’t shut properly. Having said all that we had a nice stay, it’s a fairly central location and we found it well equipped for our group of 6 adults. WiFi and tv good so, all in all a decent stay.

A lovely detached property, a short walk from the centre of Whitby. Clean and comfortable with everything you need. Had a problem with the smoke alarm on our first day but a quick call to the property manager and it was resolved. Would definitely return
