A warm and welcoming house. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, fabulous location and a well equipped house. Parking a bit problematic but was eventually resolved. Would definitely stay again.

The property is a great property at the heart of Whitby, but the parking at the arrival time was impossible as it is permit parking and all spaces nearby were taken at the time of arrival. However, we were able to park opposite the property the following morning and did not move the car until we left. The cleaners do need to be sacked though, the pRead moreroperty was covered in dirt and dust. My wife sent me out for cloths and cleaning spray to clean the surfaces, as she didn't want to make a fuss. I vacuumed the whole property and was very surprised to find it difficult for it to pick up anything and I had no need to empty the collector over the three floors, we then went out. The following morning, I serviced the hoover, removing a wigs worth of hair from the roller, a small duvet of dust, dirt and dander from the filter area and cleaned the completely clogged filter sponge. The hoover was now able to pick up and the two collection compartments were filled with dirt, dust and dander from each room carpet, needing to be emptied 6 or 7 times over the whole property carpets and skirting boards. As my wife didn't want to make a fuss with having an autistic daughter, but instead just address the problem ourselves, I spent a few hours solving the filthy, dusty carpets. I did sneak out to inform the office around the corner about the situation and was told they would talk to the cleaning team and I was given a complaint link to raise a complaint on. Some of the white bath towels provided were also stained. There were several grotty looking frying pans in the kitchen cupboards that also need to be thrown out. I would recommend this property if the cleaning was addressed. Hide

Ellingham House is ideal for a family of 8. We were all very comfortable in this well furnished house,situated centrally and very close to useful shops , i.e. Poundland ! This turned out to be a great base for all our interests and activities.

Stayed at Ellingham House over Easter weekend. Pros - location for visiting Whitby is really good (maybe 5 mins walk to the river) and property generally a good size/well equipped (although showing some signs of wear and tear). Cons - this may be churlish but property is "just a house", no "wow factor" such as a great view or a really special room Read moreto be in. Ellingham works much better as a base than a destination. Also, I will knock a star off for parking. Not the property's fault but the streets are very tight. When I arrived on Good Friday (admittedly a very busy weekend) I could not get parked and had to leave car miles away from house. If I was arriving in a big group/with many cars I would think twice because I wouldn't guarantee getting >1 car parked nearby. Hide
