Fawcet House

A nice clean well kept property.

Admittedly some of the furniture was a little “tired” but overall it was the perfect place for us all to stay including the dog. Clean bathrooms. All kitchen equipment in good working order. Comfortable beds.Great views of the abbey.

first impression on entering fusty smell and carpets stains however general cleaning v good comfy cosy clean just outside dirty yard carpets and paintwork needs deep clean had to close out roof work on scaffold workers could be seen in main living room and noise made it like not on holiday but had a nice time sort deep clean and plumbing for smells and blockage in bathroom sink clean outside and have a nice cheap outdoor set as no were to sit outside either fawcet house would get full stars alround

Beautiful cottage.

Views spectacular. Very impressed with accommodation. Loved the up side down living.

We had a lovely stay at Fawcett House, the location is perfect.

The house is well equipped with everything you could possibly need for a holiday. The view from the lounge is lovely. We love Whitby, it’s very special and the people are so friendly, even the pirates! We didn’t know it was pirate weekend and ended up on a boat pub full of friendly pirates on Friday night! Also everywhere we went the food was very good. The owner went out of his way to make sure we had a good arrival and a lovely welcome gift. We would definitely come again.

Great stay,great quirky property,a little painting needed but understand that can only be done off season,wanted for nothing would love to stay again,

This was a last minute booking, so didn't have much time to research the accommodation.

We didn't need to worry because the place was great and so much better than we expected. Location is less than 100 yards from the swing bridge, so everything is very convenient. Facilities in the cottage are first class (wi fi could be better) and well maintained. Would definitely stay again.

We found Fawcett House in a Nice location!

With security doors leading to the property. The interior boasted a “upside down house” with living accommodation on the upper level and bedrooms on the lower level. It was very comfortable and the beds were extremely comfy. As were the pillows. Although we didn’t use the cooking facilities there seemed to be everything needed in the smart modern kitchen. The showers need a little attention re door seals! On the whole we would use the property again.

Perfect location and great property including parking passes, can't fault anything about our stay at this fantastic place

We had a wonderful stay at Fawcett House.

The property was absolutely beautiful. Loved the decor. Fantastic location. Spotlessly clean, comfy beds and everything top quality. Welcome pack and parking permit were appreciated. We will definitely be returning.

This is a fantastic property in a very good spot.

The drop off area for unloading your bags was a real help. Having the lounge/Dining area at the top was a great idea as you could make the most of the views. The quality of the fixtures and fittings was good and it had a quality feel. The only very minor issue for us was that the pillows were too soft, yes the only complaint is that the pillows were too soft. Definitely worth a visit.

Great location in the heart of Whitby, excellent communication and help from the owners.

We’d love to stay again

Fantastic property.

We hope to come back. Thank you

What a beautiful property!

The rooms were lovely, the views over the harbour and of the Abbey, were gorgeous, and the location was top drawer. All instructions were simple and clear, and even if I wanted to, I couldn't fault there property for the basis of a fabulous Whitby break from life's general mundanity.

We have stayed at Fawcett House on a previous occasion, it is a lovely spacious property and very conveniently located for all amenities and the beach.

It is clean and well equipped and would definitely stay here again.

The beds were cleane towels were lovely and clean there was no brush and mop to clean up with did ask the owner and he said he would drop some off but didn’t we disappoint all round opened the oven and the grill pen hadn’t been done there was still used tinfoil in it and the frying pan still had used oil in it not very good it could of done with a deep clean

Nice cottage in a lovely position in the centre of bustling Whitby.

Wonderful central location Owners communication was excellent Would definitely return and recommend

Superb property with great views.

Location absolutely spot on right in the middle of everything without being noisy. Thought the car parking was going to be a problem but with the pass and the disc zone pass it wasn’t. Plenty to see and do with a great choice of places to eat and drink. Found nearly everywhere was dog friendly which was great and there were so many lovely places to visit within a short drive. Whitby what a fantastic clean place to stay.

This property is perfectly situated and we will definitely be back.

It is everything it says it is in the listings. The owners are lovely and made contact to ensure that everything was OK and gave us advice on where to park. They even left a lovely bottle of red wine, fruit cake and milk, very thoughtful - thank you.

Could not fault this place!

They left fresh milk & eggs. The wine and brak were a lovely touch also. Lots of space, plenty of places to sit. Comfy beds, simple rules and regulations.

The property is lovely.

Everything we needed and more. Fantastic location. Very clean and well equipped. Lots of lovely quirky furniture and ornamental. Beds were comfortable too.

An amazing property - made even more special by the Xmas decorations, a lovely touch.

All of the kitchen equipment, bedding, furniture and fittings are of a very high standard. Superbly comfortable beds. A great place to stay in terms of location, size and comfort.

Excellent cottage.

Good location,spotless, everything we needed & very homely.Will be returning.

The property was in an excellent location close to all amenities.

It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay. Highly recommend

Excellent in all aspects could not fault it.

Just on our way back home from a fantastic holiday…a week staying in Fawcet House in Whitby.

I originally booked it for 3 adults and 2 children, however, grandma dropped out of the trip. Even if she had come with us, the cottage would have been more than spacious for us all. A lovely living, dining, cooking space greets you on the top floor, with an amazing view of the church and abbey and surrounding buildings. It is well-equipped (kitchen particularly!) and very comfortable and spotlessly clean. All three bedrooms are nicely furnished with really comfortable beds. We all had a great night’s sleep every night. The location is really convenient…very close to the river and access to all the attractions without being so close you’re bothered by any noise. There’s a Poundland within 50 yards which was really useful for little bits we’d forgotten. It’s worth being well aware of the two flights of stairs you need to negotiate within the cottage. Not a problem at all for us, but could be an issue if you have mobility issues. It is also about an 8-10 minute walk from the car park (the paid-for permit is brilliant), which again, wasn’t a problem for us but important to know. We had only a couple of trips out in the car anyway…York and Staithes, both were brilliant days out. Highly recommend Fawcet House!!

Brilliant house the owners have thought of everything very good quality kitchen and bedding ware we had two dogs first four day was ok then a family came who was staying at the house through the next gate and kept leaving the gate open so had a few choice words with them also the cafe is called the yard now and the road on the way to the property says no entry but we had to go down to get to the property but it was easy unloading outside pound land but make sure you use the permit provided because a lady parked there who was in the beauty saloon and she got a ticket

We had the loveliest week in Fawcett House.

Right in the centre of whitby yet so quiet! The cottage was so comfortable, warm and clean. We had plenty of space on the inevitable rainy day and I've never known such a well stocked kitchen! Every utensil we could have possibly needed was there! Sharon ans Stuart were very quick to respond to any queries and we will definitely be returning! Jodie July/ August 23

Second time staying here and it’s just as great.

Clean, central and always feel at home here. The set out is great with plenty of room. Just a pleasure to stay. Dogs welcome .Will be booking again. 10/10.

Fawcett House is ideally placed near to the harbour and shops.

It’s a good base to explore the area. The views from the living area are stunning.

We stayed at Fawcet House in Feb 23 as a family of 4 with a dog.

This was one of our best holiday apartments and we’ve stayed in quite a few over the years! Communication with the owner prior and on arrival was great. The place was spotless and had everything we needed to have a very comfortable self catering stay right in the middle of Whitby. Unloading the car outside the property was easy and parking not an issue in the west cliff car park less than 10 mins stroll. Noise from the street was not an issue as the apartment feels nice and tucked away even though there are a few pubs close by. Even the sea gulls were inaudible through the double glazing meaning a peaceful and relaxing stay and I’m a light sleeper! Smart TV was bang up to date and the sound bar and sub were a nice addition when we fancied a night in with a film. The location also meant our teenage kids could pop out on their own and visit the various coffee/cake shops that Whitby has to offer without mum and dad which gave them some independence. All in all we loved our stay here and can’t wait to come back again.

Super property!

Brilliant location and beautifully furnished; given that it is holiday accommodation.

Great property, great location and really well equipped.

Thanks for making it a fantastic stay with our 2 dogs.

Am amazing house - spotless, beautiful decor and furniture, amazing location and an absolute pleasure to stay in.

It's the little things that were so lovely - milk, chocolates, a bottle of wine - working out when to come and stay again. Can't recommend it enough. Thank you so much for your fabulous care and attention to detail.

This is our 2nd time of staying at Fawcet House in Whitby and would stay again without any hesitation.

The house is very clean, comfy beds, plenty of storage space and in the perfect location for exploring Whitby. The use of the washing machine was useful too, saved on a lot of washing when I got home. The owners are very nice and nothing was too much trouble. We have stayed in Whitby many times over the past 30 years and never have we stopped at the same place twice, I am very happy now we have found this little gem :-)

The owner's of this property were charming and ensured our stay was a pleasure.

The accommodation was spotless and situated a stone's throw from the harbour. I'd highly recommend it.

Stunning cottage!

Very clean and comfortable. It was easy to unload at the cottage and the parking on West Cliff was not a problem. Even though we were in the centre of Whitby, it was peaceful and the views from the cottage - incredible!

Our stay in Fawcett House was slightly marred by the persistent ringing of the intruder alarm from Austins Letting Agency at the end of the alleyway.

It rang constantly from Saturday afternoon (when we arrived) all the way through till Monday mid morning, not pleasant and very disturbing. Contact was made to the Letting Agency but to no avail, it took the owners of Ellie's Cafe to contact someone to attend to the alarm. I'm sure it disturbed many more residents in Flowergate. Otherwise Fawcett House is a lovely place to stay

Fawcett cottage beautiful.

..we will not use you or reccomed you had Schooner Cottage Dorset in May you treated us terrible your customer service was unacceptable....

It is a great and spacious apartment that met and exceeded our requirements.

Only wish the weather was worse so we could have spent more time in the apartment.

This was a great property with a great location.

Would totally recommend it. Lovely views of the abbey!

This cottage has an excellent location in the town and is very well appointed and nicely decorated however there is a terrible smell from the under stairs cupboard which got worse as the week went on.

Also the parking is described as off street- this is misleading as the parking is actually in a car park which is up hill and over 10 mins away. We had my parents with us who were able to make this walk however some may not be able to do it. There is also limited space to load and unload. The blinds were broken in the main room and although on order, that did not help us during our stay as it gets light very early.

Lovely place to stay.

Cottage very comfortable. Fab central location in Whitby. Perfect for 2 couples. Owner was great to deal with too. Arrival instructions just need updating a little as TSB mentioned is now closed.

Fantastic place to stay, we would definitely go back.

Thank you to the owners for the little extras, milk, tea bags, chocolates and wine, these were greatly appreciated after a long journey down. The only thing that really bothered us was it could be a bit noisy. Poundland is just couple of doors up, which is very handy, but the delivery seemed to be alternate mornings from 6:30am. Highly recommend Ellie's cafe for breakfast, very friendly and lots of good tips on where to visit.

Hidden Gem!

Large spacious house in the centre of Whitby with superb views. Added bonus of a parking pass for West Cliff car park a short walk away and space to drop off bags outside the cottage. Granted no parking right outside the cottage but with the central location this can’t be helped. Immaculately clean and well equipped kitchen with added bonus of a washer. Bottle of wine, milk and chocolate on arrival lovely touch. Fantastic cafe called Ellie’s underneath cottage with friendly owners, handy to have on your doorstep. We have already booked for next year and would 100% recommend.

Lovely cottage in a really central location in Whitby.

The cottage is very well furnished and decorated, all facilities you could want are provided, we really enjoyed our short stay and would definitely consider a return visit. Excellent location for Whitby and the surrounding area, we enjoyed a lot of cliff top and beach walks. The only thing that could be improved would be the directions to the cottage, it was easy to find the street, but the details of where the gates to the cottage are could be clearer, there is no mention either of the coffee shop which is in effect the first floor of the property. It was closed when we visited, but could perhaps be noisy if open. That said, it is a wonderful cottage and one that we would visit again very happily.

Fawcet House was fantastic - superb location, views, convenience.

It made a very comfortable and well-appointed base for our short break in Whitby. There was even a bottle of wine and some chocolates for us on arrival. Would like to return at some point.

Nice property, well placed in centre of Whitby close to shops and pubs.

It has a lovely open plan living area on the top floor with great views of the sea, abbey and surrounding areas. Let down slightly by a few repairs required and parking is in a nearby car park (approx 5 mins walk) but to be expected in such a built up area. We were happy overall with our stay and enjoyed our welcome gift of wine and chocolates!

The accommodation was perfect - more than enough space for a busy family and two dogs.

We really appreciated all of the extra little touches such as toiletries, plasters and Savlon in the bathroom cabinet, chocolates, wine and milk provided. Very central location with access to all that Whitby has to offer very close by.
