    “This property could be so much better.”

    The location was great – really easy to get in and out of Whitby by car. The setting was picturesque, underneath the magnificent Larpool Viaduct. And the house itself was a good size for 6 of us (2x adults, 4x kids, 1x dog). Sadly, what lets it down is the cleanliness and lack of maintenance. With young children, we're far from snobby when it comes to things being immaculate/perfect/5-star etc etc. But, seriously, the owners either need to get some cleaners or find new ones if they already ...

    The location was great – really easy to get in and out of Whitby by car. The setting was picturesque, underneath the magnificent Larpool Viaduct. And the house itself was a good size for 6 of us (2x adults, 4x kids, 1x dog). Sadly, what lets it down is the cleanliness and lack of maintenance. With young children, we're far from snobby when it comes to things being immaculate/perfect/5-star etc etc. But, seriously, the owners either need to get some cleaners or find new ones if they already have some. Thankfully, the bedrooms were all 'fine'. Yes, the mattresses could be better in terms of comfort, but they were ok for a few days. The bedrooms themselves were clean and that was a real relief because our first impressions upon entering the house were that the whole place was all going to be pretty grotty – and that's due to the first room you walk in being the kitchen. Where do I start: the cooker hood was too sticky to touch, the rack on the draining board was rusty, the pans were either greasy or corroding, the oven shelves were disgusting, the worktops were dirty with crumbs and food stains, the toaster had what looked to be mouldy bread bits left inside, the kettle probably needed throwing away, the under cupboard electric light cables were precariously taped up... we took pictures of it all. Night one was spent in the local Sainsbury's and Aldi buying cleaning products (the ones left in the property were gross), a travel toaster and a travel kettle. Oh and a tin opener, because the one in the property was all rusted up. And some teaspoons because we didn't fancy the stained ones. As first night experiences go, that was certainly a new one for us. Moving on, the living room was ok – could probably do with a bit of TLC. But it was liveable. Shame the freeview box doesn't work though (so no TV for us for 5 days, which us adults were ok with – but let's just say I won't get the kids to leave a review). And no it wasn't the batteries because we changed them (another supermarket purchase) to no avail. The bathroom on the first floor was passable, shower pleasantly powerful. Just a bit of mould in the corner of the bath (but we definitely weren't about to start bathing on this particular holiday). The bathroom on the top floor was the cleanest of them all, actually quite nice. Towels... if you can call them that? May I recommend good old Sainsbury's/Aldi up the road for some new ones. These were as thin as sheets of toilet paper. Other than that, the only other thing is to perhaps inform the neighbour next door (in the property attached to ours) that not everyone appreciates him peering in and wandering past the patio doors with his dog. It set our dog off every single time, but it certainly didn't stop the guy from coming back. Again and again. So, we just reverted to shutting the curtains and keeping that gorgeous river view to our imaginations instead. Anyway. I think a previous reviewer may have nailed the issue here: "The house is up for sale and feels neglected." I couldn't agree more if that's the case. Through it all, we had a lovely holiday because we love Whitby/the North Yorkshire coast. But this property needs some care and attention – and fast.
