Had a lovely stay, there was a dirty tea cloth of the radiator when we arrived. The walls could do with a freshen up as some dirt and scuffs but we had a lovely stay, the facilities were great and location was perfect.

Other than a bleeping smoke alarm were the battery had not been changed before we arrived and I had to contact the office to sort out, I cant fault the place. Good location, had everything in it we needed, short walk to the main bit of Whitby.
