Beautiful house with Stunning Views.
The house was everything we hoped for and more. The decor is spot on and there can't be many houses in Whitby with a better vista. The only thing I would say though is that it is very difficult to load and unload...Church St car park was packed so we had to use the Abbey car park which is a gruelling up/downhill slog for the less fit/able. Be prepared to travel very light as you can't get close to the property with a car. Having said that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return.

Lovely location
Lovely cottage in a brilliant location. You can unload and load outside the house but for parking will need to park in one of the public car parks as the parking space they advertise with this property is no longer available.
