Guests say
Borough House in Whitby is a beautiful, quirky, and well-equipped property praised for its central location and character. Guests have enjoyed its spaciousness, warm atmosphere, and the thoughtful welcome basket provided. While some concerns about cleanliness and mattress comfort were mentioned, the overall experience has been positive, with many looking forward to returning.
Most guests found the property clean and cosy, with one initially concerned reviewer being pleasantly surprised. However, a mention of mold in an ensuite shower suggests room for improvement.
The location is consistently described as excellent, central, and convenient, with easy access to local amenities and attractions like the Abbey.
The property is generally found to be comfortable, especially the living room, though some guests noted the mattresses were too soft for their preference.
While the property is described as well-equipped and spacious, there is insufficient information on the overall state of facilities and maintenance to provide a definitive score.

Mrs Chubb
We had an amazing time at Borough House. A great house in the middle of the old part of town but tucked away from the crowds and noise. We loved being able to step out to the shops and explore without having to use the car. We had great weather and most days would eat our lunches overlooking the harbour - just a stone's throw from the front door. The beds are very comfortable with excellent linen and everywhere was incredibly clean and tidy. The rooms are very large - given the position of the house. The bathroom is up some stairs - but not much more than at home. My 86 year old Mum managed ok. We are all a little fitter than we were - which is a good thing! I highly recommend Borough House. Thank you for a great stay - and the wonderful welcome basket!

We loved our stay. Amazing location - literally 2 mins walk from the 199 steps up to the Abbey. But yet very quiet at night time. And very comfortable inside (especially the living room). Would highly recommend.

This property is in an amazing location in Whitby, the house is very spacious, and very well equipped - it oozes the character of an old house. The owner was very generous to ensure our stay was the best it could be, including a lovely welcome pack. We can’t wait to return & have already recommended this property to friends.
