    “We (family w/ 2 kids) enjoyed a lovely short summer break in Whitby, staying at West End House.”

    The house was comfortable and homely and a great base from which to explore. In general the house was clean -- only niggles: the floors were not clean when we arrived, there was a fair bit of sand in the kitchen (including on one of the chairs, where something sandy had obviously been placed but not subsequently cleaned). Also, one of the towels had hair and a stain on it. Also, the parking situation. The listing is up front about limited parking in Whitby, but be prepared - there were ...

    The house was comfortable and homely and a great base from which to explore. In general the house was clean -- only niggles: the floors were not clean when we arrived, there was a fair bit of sand in the kitchen (including on one of the chairs, where something sandy had obviously been placed but not subsequently cleaned). Also, one of the towels had hair and a stain on it. Also, the parking situation. The listing is up front about limited parking in Whitby, but be prepared - there were absolutely ZERO 'W' spaces we could use for the entire stay, and ended up having to pay at the Silver St Pay-and-Display car park (approx £10 per day). This car park is a 2 min walk away, and the extra cost was not a massive drawback - but, still.

The property

West End House is a cosy two bedroom town house in the heart of Whitby, a short 5 minute stroll to the picturesque harbour, shops and fantastic restaurants.

This welcoming property is perfectly situated to discover Yorkshire’s most beloved seaside resort.

Set over three floors, its comfortable accommodation is ideal for families or couples who love having everything on their doorstep.

It has the added benefit of an enclosed courtyard with furniture and is also pet-friendly. The property comprises a ground floor kitchen with dining area.

Gather together around the scrubbed pine table for home cooked fare or bring home fish and chips after a day at the beach – it’s your holidays, you deserve a rest!

The kitchen leads to an enclosed courtyard, a lovely spot for your morning cuppa. Off the courtyard, there is a utility room that provides storage, plus a useful washing machine and tumble dryer – handy for a family beach holiday. Put your feet up and relax in the homely sitting room, there’s a TV/DVD, plus a real flame effect gas fire to bring warmth and comfort after a bracing coastal walk.

When it’s time for bed, head upstairs to the first floor where you’ll find a tastefully decorated king-size double bedroom with plenty of storage and a dressing table.

This floor also has the house bathroom with shower, basin and WC. Children, in particular, will be delighted with the charming second floor twin nestled into the eaves – great for star-gazing.

The décor is simple but pretty, with a seaside theme, plus there are bedside lamps to ensure there’s always a story before light’s out. Outside is an enclosed courtyard with table and chairs for enjoying breakfast or drinks outside. The sandy beach at Whitby has been much-loved for generations, why not try boogie-boarding or stretch your legs on a family walk to Sandsend when the tide is out, a very achievable 3 miles.

Kids will enjoy crabbing in the harbour or searching for fossils, there are also fun boat trips which depart daily from the harbour.

Take up the challenge of the famous ‘199 steps’ to St Mary’s Church and visit Whitby’s iconic Abbey, an inspirational landmark for Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula’.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

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.
