  Stayed here over the Goth weekend and wouldn’t stay again. It’s basic, a place to sleep but not much else. Lack of basic amenities, no toilet paper, no working heating, no WiFi, toilet flush takes many tries to work, hot tap barely worked. And it’s a fair walk to the co-op to get the basic necessities that are provided by most other cottages. Other people in our party stayed in a bigger cottage near the abbey which was cheaper and they provided a welcome basket containing basics like teabags, milk etc. so I’d look elsewhere if you’re staying in Whitby. Place was also not very clean. Black mould in the shower, dirty mirrors and hair all over the floors. Knelt down in the bedroom while unpacking and was covered in what I assume was dog hair. Also if you bring a pet, check under the wardrobe in the bedroom as there’s loads of dog toys stuck under there too. Located on a noisy street which can’t be helped but expect to be woken up by the boat yard opposite at 6am and you will hear every person who walks past through the night as the windows are single glazed. Minus the mould the shower is good though, very powerful. Overall, for the price there’s a lot better places to stay in Whitby so I would look elsewhere.

  The Grace Escape is a wonderful base for a relaxing family holiday by the sea. We have been to Whitby a couple of times before so we were prepared for problems with parking anywhere near our accommodation but we were lucky enough to find on-road parking fairly close by. The Grace Escape was really well equipped for a self catering holiday although it could do with some oven proof dishes (minor point but worth noting as we do like to cook family meals when we're away). There is very little cupboard space for food etc - maybe one of the two cupboards full of glasses could be left empty. Beds and bedding were lovely and comfy but ceiling height entering the kids bedroom on the 3rd floor is VERY low which was a bit of an issue for my 6' teenage son, but he had mastered it by the end of the week! The property details say that there is no central heating so we went prepared with blankets etc but central heating has now been installed and the house was lovely and warm. The views of the harbour from all the rooms were wonderful and the location was perfect - close to town but away from the main hustle and bustle and we would definitely recommend. Treats for both us and our dog on arrival were also a lovely touch ??

  The location is fabulous, the apartment is very clean and the property has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

  An extra set of keys would be handy, so that if you are staying with another person but you aren't going to be together all of the time then you don't have to leave doors unlocked so one person can go out and take the one set of keys and put them in and out of the key safe numerous times per day. My only criticism - and this is clearly not the fault of the property owner, is that the person in the apartment above kept me awake all week. Obviously if he is another holiday maker I was just unlucky, but if he is a permanent resident it may need looking into if it affects any other guests. As the building is old, the floors above creak and it sounds like there are no carpets in that apartment. He was constantly walking around, very heavily footed at all hours of the day, all through the night and into the early hours (we actually wondered when he manages to sleep!!). So although I enjoyed my stay and loved sitting in that window gazing at the sea, I was somewhat sleep deprived. Again, I know this isn't the fault of the owner but I only think it's fair to make both the owner aware of this and any other guests who aren't heavy sleepers that this could potentially be a problem.

  The Grace Escape is a lovely property. Fabulous standard and facilities through out. Lovely views from the lounge and bedroom windows. Whitby is a town of two sides, split by the river and joined together by the old swing bridge. There is a surprise around every corner. Lovely narrow streets and quaint shops. The Historic Abbey and Church and Captain Cooks Museum all worth a visit. There is great quality food at the restaurants and cafés. The Marine and the Rusty Shears both deserve a special mention. We enjoyed the Bark Endeavour boat ride and also the speed boat Commando, both worth the money. Great walks out along the West Cliff or beach to The White House which has stunning views over the golf course. A friendly welcome from everyone through out Whitby and we particularly noticed how dog friendly the town is. We never got around to delving into the Dracula history or doing the ghost walk so looking forward to that next time!
