    “Laridae is a lovely house.”

    We were pleasantly surprised on arrival, the house is very spacious, well maintained and comfortable. Plenty of crockery and cutlery available and very pleased to see proper mugs, not cups and saucers. We were 2 couples sharing so 2 cars but no real problems finding on street spaces not too far away for both cars even on such a busy weekend. The steep hill back up from town is a bit of a struggle if you have mobility issues or shopping to carry but at only £5 for a taxi, we saved our ...

    We were pleasantly surprised on arrival, the house is very spacious, well maintained and comfortable. Plenty of crockery and cutlery available and very pleased to see proper mugs, not cups and saucers. We were 2 couples sharing so 2 cars but no real problems finding on street spaces not too far away for both cars even on such a busy weekend. The steep hill back up from town is a bit of a struggle if you have mobility issues or shopping to carry but at only £5 for a taxi, we saved our energy. Our only complaint was the heating which was set at a maximum 18 degrees and couldn't be increased, even though it felt much cooler. Late afternoon it got quite chilly and as we wanted showers before heading out for the evening, it would have been nice to just have a short burst of heat whilst we got ready. We had a lovely long weekend and would definitely book Laridae again, thank you.

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.
