  We stayed at the Beachcrest from 25/11/22 for one week for my husband's 65th birthday, our children and grandchildren also stayed with us.

  The house was spotlessly clean and very well equipped for large families. There were plenty of pots and pans for cooking and a range oven, if you wanted to cook meals instead of eating out during your stay. The house is well located, only a 2 minute walk to the beach and a pleasant walk into Whitby town centre. There is also a hotel across the road, which has a bar and serves meals, if you do not fancy cooking, they also sell pizzas to take out. The owner had made the property very homely and there was a Christmas tree up when we arrived, he also left us complementary Tea, coffee, milk, and biscuits. There is a lovely garden, which if staying there during the summer months would be a lovely space to spend sunny afternoons. There is also a hot tub in the garden, which we did utilise during our stay, which was a nice extra touch. The only small negative comment I would make about this property was, it had a beautiful kitchen that as a family we spent a lot of family time in there and during the evenings it was not very private. There are 3 windows in the kitchen, and one is directly opposite the hotel, so people coming and going would constantly look straight in as the light was on. There was also no blind at the downstairs bathroom window. Apart from these 2 small things, the house was amazing and I would definitely recommend staying there. A beautiful home.

  We really enjoyed our stay.

  The house and garden are much nicer than the pictures! We were only 2 but could see that there was ample room for various family combinations. Our only moan inside the house was that the tv in the living room was rather high up the wall… mantlepeice level would be better. Apart from there was everything we needed and everything was comfortable. A big plus were the amazing views from every window! Outside also amazing views and peace and quiet, birdsong, lambs baaing and the occasional tractor noise… Good outside tables and plenty of room for games in the garden plus nice tennis court which did have some racquets and balls in a box court side. It is quite isolated but we had a Sainsbury’s delivery at the beginning of the week which solved that problem. Waking to Boggle Hole and Robin Hoods Bay was easy (if hilly, steep hilly) We are 82 and 75. The local beaches are good for rock pools etc but watch the tides. I was brought up near Sandbanks in Dorset so long sandy beaches totally different from the North Yorkshire ones. There are a few properties on the site but they are so arranged that each have their own privacy. We would thoroughly recommend this property.

  We had an excellent break in a fantastic property.

  The owners were very welcoming as we arrived, taking time to show us around the property and give us tips on the local area. The property has recently been refurbished top to bottom and is fitted out to a really high standard. Not something we expected to find (or spend any time in!) but the hot tub was definitely a highlight for us all :-) As a group of five we really benefited from the communal space and being able to find our own space (the games/cinema room downstairs). More practical things; the washing machine, dishwasher, two showers, off road parking for two cars and really generous storage space downstairs really suited our group who were out and about on the North Yorks coast. It's a short and easy walk to the centre of Whitby (about 10-15 minutes) and even less to the beach. If you don't fancy venturing that far then the local pub is just a minute away and does a great Sunday roast :-) I would strongly recommend this property to any groups or larger families looking for a break in Whitby.

  Location is brilliant as it's in walking distance to Whitby town centre and, if you're lucky, parking is free outside the property. The property was clean and tidy and has many original features however the main living room is very dark and dingy. There was plenty of hot water with good pressure and the central heating worked well. Thankfully there is a microwave as the cooker has seen better days. The outside yard, described as a place to get some fresh air, is actually a 10ft by 5ft walled in space to access the outside toilet, washing machine and back gate. No one in their right mind would consider sitting out there! The master bedroom is over full with period furniture to the point that the door doesn't open properly which is very poor as it is at the top of a very steep stairway and small landing. The beddng is worn, old and in need of replacing or repair. The bathroom is very nice and the cast iron bath is quite comfy however the towels are old, discoloured and threadbare.

  Well what a fantastic holiday home, went with hubby, dad, 3 teenagers and a dog, the games room with ping pong, darts and huge cinema tv was great for all the family.

  Hot tub was great and really well planned out with regards to privacy with shed, fridge and surrounding seating areas. Sea views from most windows and Lovely secure garden for the dog and covered seating area with bbq. The house had everything we needed and more. Also very spacious. We loved the walk into Whitby along the seafront, took about 20mins at a casual stroll. With pitch n putt, footgolf, crazy golf and an ice cream place along the way. We had a few rainy days so the bus stop at the top of the road near the shop was perfect to go straight into Whitby bus station. The pub across the road we would highly recommend. Very nice food, sea views and dog friendly. Was nice to meet the guy that came to clean the hot tub when we were leaving as he came from Wigan like us…. Lovely man who also took away some of our rubbish as we had a lot! so Thankyou (can’t remember his name) We would definitely stay here again next time we come to Whitby. Thankyou
