Truly magnificent – a fabulous Georgian residence in one of Whitby’s most prestigious locations, with wonderful furnishings, décor, quality appliances plus a cinema and games room!

We had a wonderful time

The house has everything you could possibly need and was fantastically comfortable. The location was perfect. Just what we needed in these very strange coronavirus times.

About

Layout

Lower Ground Floor

On the lower ground floor there is a spacious cinema room with a 60" LED Smart TV, Smart 3D Blu-ray DVD player, 120 watt soundbar system with Bluetooth and Subwoofer together with a games room that includes a pool table and a football table - perfect for relaxing and having fun if the weather clouds over!

Ground Floor
St Hilda’s comprises superb accommodation including a large reception hall with beautiful curved staircase. An elegant drawing room has bay windows overlooking the gardens, comfortable seating and an open fire. A second large reception room, a sitting room - or children’s play room with toys, books and games - also has an open fire.

The extensively equipped kitchen is very stylish with granite work surfaces and includes a double oven, hob, dishwasher plus a Nespresso coffee system with a box of fragrant coffees to choose from. It also has a dining area so you can sit with a glass of wine and watch the cook work - or we can arrange for a chef to come and prepare a meal as a special treat! A useful utility room has a washing machine, a dryer and an airer. Off here is a downstairs WC with hand wash basin.

First Floor

This truly fabulous house has a gorgeous master bedroom with a Super King size bed, original fireplace and a stylish en-suite shower room with a shower, WC and hand wash basin.

There is a magnificent house bathroom on this top floor, with a roll top bath, wet room area, WC and hand wash basin, and fabulous views across to the harbour and Whitby Abbey.

Outside

With private parking for four cars, there is also a beautiful enclosed walled garden with a lawn and borders to the front with a terrace, complete with table and chairs, to sit and relax. The property also has a good size, paved courtyard to the rear - perfect for storing bikes - with potted plants and a bench.

Location

WHITBY

St Hilda's is located on St Hilda's Terrace opposite Pannett Park travelling in towards Whitby town centre.

The house was fabulous, until a storm blew up and then there were copious drafts and we could not get the house warm enough

We had a skylight leak which the local team fixed promptly, despite the foul weather. We expect drafts in an old house.... The TV in the back sitting room was antique and not fit for purpose; it needs to be changed immediately. We loved the games room, however the stairs down to the games room are tricky and not suitable for older people and toddlers, hence the need to fix the upstairs TV. We loved the location and the bright and sunny aspect to the front of the house. It would have been a perfect house for our extended family, but thanks to the current stupid Covid rules, we had to split the family over the week, despite the fact that we'd all met each other countless times recently. We know that's not your doing, but our frustration must evident.

We had a wonderful time. The house has everything you could possibly need and was fantastically comfortable. The location was perfect. Just what we needed in these very strange coronavirus times.

The house was fabulous, until a storm blew up and then there were copious drafts and we could not get the house warm enough. We had a skylight leak which the local team fixed promptly, despite the foul weather. We expect drafts in an old house.... The TV in the back sitting room was antique and not fit for purpose; it needs to be changed immediately.

Mr Shipley

Lovely large house perfectly situated for a walk into Whitby. Plenty of parking for four large cars. All of the rooms were beautiful with high quality furnishings and bedding. The kitchen was a bit of a squash for thirteen of us. We received a lovely welcome pack full of Yorkshire goodies. A very nice place to stay and would definitely stay again or recommend.

Mrs Ranson

We have booked through Yorkshire costal cottages many times over the last 15 years. We know the office staff well and it was extremely frustrating having to deal with the new telephone system which means you can’t talk directly to the Whitby staff.

Mrs Nicholls

The house was amazing and huge. We enjoyed the location of the house being 5 mins from Whitby town centre.

Mrs Hardie

Absolutely amazing property! There was so much space and the downstairs games room was just fantastic. The owners have put so many lovely extra touches in, like the children’s toys, wetsuits and the dogs beds. We’ve already booked for next year and can’t wait to go back. The only issue, and it’s not really an issue as the owners have no way of knowing when it’s let out so I’m sure they’ll appreciate the feedback is that some of the mattresses could do with replacing, in particular the master bedroom. Would highly recommend this place and really can’t wait to return ☺️

Mrs Arnison

Lovely place but don’t feel ‘deep clean’ is happening. Flys behind curtains on the carpet, lots of black hairs in kids room, showers could all do with a deep clean they’ve become mouldy and need a good scrub with something to get the mildew off. Quite a few things broken, light in bathroom upstairs, tv in master bedroom doesn’t pick up any channels. There was a bad drain smell in the master bedroom I think from the shower. The bannister downstairs is very wobbly too. I also think the playroom could do with updating and modernising. With a toddler and a crawling baby we spent a lot of time in this room and it’s very drab. The tv is so old we couldn’t put our fire stick in it as it didn’t have hdmi sockets and the picture was dreadful!! The basement is great but it’s hard to get young kids down such steep stairs, so perhaps give the playroom a lick of paint, update the sofas, get rid of the empty bookshelves and put a decent TV in there it would be a beautiful room that a family could use while tea is being cooked. On the positive side the beds are all fantastically comfy, the showers are big and the water is good pressure and heat. The kids room is huge and such a good space. We really did enjoy our stay just needs a few things fixing for us to come back again. And I did try to ring about some of the issues but was on hold to the Sykes call centre do gave up as it was taking too much time!

Mrs Taylor

Beautiful property, loved it! This was our family alternative Christmas. Fantastic despite the weather. We would love to come back.

Hodgkinson Party

Would definitely come back. Great house and lovely location. We experienced some issues with a lock which had failed but Yorkshire Coastal Cottages provided quick assistance so nothing to complain about. All perfect!

Brown Party

Lovely property, everything we needed.

Barton Party

This has been an ideal base for our celebratory family weekend in Whitby. The location is great and the property is perfect for both adults and children. Spacious accommodation, beds comfortable and games room a real bonus.

Milne Party

Amazing house - space, location, equipment, cleanliness. We would love to come back, thank you. All excellent and had a thoroughly enjoyable stay.

Graham Party

Many thanks. All the family had a perfect 3 day break at 12 St Hilda's - a superb venue for a family gathering - with the good weather being a bonus. I am on your e mailing list so will definetly be using you again - very impressed with the service and quality of accommodation.

M Dixon

Stunning property, ideally located, the basement games room was perfect for our teenagers in the group. We will certainly book again.

The Robinson Party

Such a beautiful home full of nooks and crannies for everyone. It felt like we'd walked into someones home - just perfect for a family gathering of far flung family members! Thank you so much.

Daniel Frost

Enjoyed celebrating Granddad's 70th birthday in a beautiful and comfortable surrounding. The house and it's furnishings/decor are just beautiful.

The Mills Family

Had a great family holiday, stunning house and superb location. The kids loved playing hide and seek in the house with all the wonderful toys here! We will return.

The Telford Family

A fabulous family house, three generations of our have stayed in this unique house.

The Eccles and Timmer Party

A superb holiday property, ideal for our family get together and the 50th party for the twins Alex and Andrew. Excellent accommodation with lovely quality beds and the downstairs cinema room was wonderful.

The Tranter Family

Well worth it's 5 Star Gold status, the ultimate luxury property in Whitby!

The Smithson and Cromer-Hart Party

This must be one of the best properties in Whitby, already booked again for next year. The perfect house in the perfect location! Thank you for excellent customer service and a beautiful welcome hamper.

The Shield Family

Overall our experience was excellent. We were very kindly allowed to check in earlier which made it less stressful for us as our wedding day was the next day. The house is gorgeous and very well equipped, all our guests loved it - especially the children! We have never been in a house so well equipped before! We definitely want to stay in this house again.

The Stevensons Family

A 5 Star gem, it was awesome - will definitely book again.

The Hannock Family
