“Just home from a fabulous stay with the family at the lovely Isla House in Whitby.”

The house was extremely well equipped for all of our needs, a generous welcome pack upon our arrival with complementary toiletries and beautiful fluffy white bath towels. Our host Lisa was available if needed and we were even offered a later Sunday checkout time. Plenty of roadside parking spaces available outside the property and only a short walk into the main area of Whitby. A very enjoyable stay indeed, would highly recommend.

“A lovely holiday home in a great location.”

The walking distance into the town centre is perfect and there is minimal noise at night. The house is over 4 floors, so be prepared to work those leg muscles! Beautifully decorated and well equipped house. Communication with the owner has been superb and questions very quickly answered. We would definitely stay here again.

“Had a brilliant family holiday at Isla cottage with 4 adults and 4 children aged between 4 weeks to 7 years.”

Got a lovely welcome pack on arrival from owner Lisa who was always at hand for any questions I had. The cottage was stocked up with all essentials and toiletries. It also had all practical household gadgets you need including washing machine dishwasher iron hairdryer etc. it was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated with ample room for us all. The beds were so comfy. We spent most of our time in the large kitchen / lounge area. Books and games were also provided. The garden was absolutely gorgeous. The cottage was an ideal location for access to local shops restaurants railway/ bus station and Whitby beach. We also ventured out to York Maze and Flamingo land. There are so many lovely places to visit in local and surrounding area. 10/10 for our weeks stay. The only thing I would say that finding a car park space could be difficult due to busy holiday season and us being out and about most of the time. Also due to the steep hill from the car park to property, it was hard to navigate a 4 week old in a pram but despite this we had the absolute best time. Thanks to Lisa for being a lovely welcoming host. Would definitely come back here again and will be recommending Isla cottage to family and friends Angela & family

“Isla House is a stunning property in a great location in Whitby.”

It really has the wow factor, lots of home comforts and is spotlessly clean. Parking was no issue, even during the school summer holidays and we will certainly be back.

“We stayed at Isla cottage for 3 nights arriving Friday 27th June .”

First of all we got parked at the rear of the property no problem at all upon entering the property we were blown away with the size of it the furnishing the bedding towels you name it everything is 5 star and then we went out the front door wow the gardens are magnificent what a great place to sit , chill , catch up , with friends , have a drink and soak up the views . The 6 of us absolutely loved the place and are already talking about booking it for next year . It's around 5 mins walk into Whitby Center what more could you want if your looking for a stunning house with stunning gardens and view to match you can't beat Isla house and to top it all off Lisa the owner was always on hand if you needed to ask a question she was just a text away if I had to score our whole experience of Isla house out of 10 it would be a 10+. Mike

“Isla House is a lovely, characterful holiday home with a beautiful, terraced garden which is perfect for morning coffee and evening drinks.”

The kitchen is well equipped and well stocked with crockery. There was milk in the fridge and a welcome basket of treats. As the living rooms were unable to seat us all together, the dining table was the focus for our evenings. Isla House is just a 5 minute walk from the centre of Whitby. It was a delightful place for our family reunion.

- Ann, May 2025

Thanks so much Ann for such a lovely review. I’m delighted you loved the house, garden and location. It sounds like you’ve had a wonderful holiday. Thanks also for the comment about the lounge. I’ll look into getting another chair, but I need to make sure that the lounge keeps the bright and spacious feel. I’m so glad you enjoyed your family reunion and look forward to welcoming you all back again. Property Owner

About the location

WHITBY

Robin Hood's Bay 5.5 miles; Scarborough 19.3 miles; Pickering 23 miles; Guisborough 21.5 miles.

The seaside town and port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire. Ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire, the local area hosts an array of activities so you can be sure to get the best out of both the countryside and the coast. From the nearby North York Moors to its Blue Flag beaches, there's something here for everyone. Amongst its many attractions, Whitby holds a charming atmosphere, home to winding streets and hidden alleys, where you can find a wide selection of eateries and shops scattered amongst them. Take a trip to the picturesque harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun set or get involved in some whale watching or a coastal cruise to watch the creatures up close. Climb the famous 199 steps to the Whitby Abbey to immerse yourself with history, or visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum presenting historical and ethnographic exhibition about Cook himself. Close to the Robin Hood's Bay, rich in heritage, wonders and scenic spots, and in easy reach of the bustling towns of Scarborough and Middlesbrough, Whitby is a prime location for exploring all of the delights that Yorkshire has to offer.

Note: There is a 3-night minimum for all bookings.
