  : Fabulous location for all local amenities. Loads of shop/ pubs and dog friendly .
  : On arrival at the property we were met with the carcass of a dead pigeon in the passage way, pieces of cardboard and general rubbish. Having said this ,on day three someone swept the yard and made it much nicer. The property itself is very dark and one bulb in the kitchen area had blown making it even dimmer. The blinds in bathroom and bedroom were broken and the bathroom mirror light didnt work making contact lense fitting tricky. Felt like the downstairs had not been de- cobwebbed in a while as plenty hanging from ceiling and corners. Small things and easy to put right. All in all we had a lovely stay and would definitely stay again.

  : The location
  : Parking!!!! When you look at the ficilitys it says parking on site no need to book but the parking is 5 mins walk away and can only access the road your on is after 4 to unpack then you have to move your car, I found this very difficult. If it stated this at the beginning I would of not of booked it.

  : The door lock needs attention. It was a little temperamental at times and took a while to open the door from the outside.

  : The mattresses were comfy. There was lots of necessities stocked, plus some bits like games wich was a nice touch. Its in both a great and not so great location - good as its literally on the high street, you can walk everywhere in Whitby town in 5 mins.
  : The house is not child friendly, if we didnt have a cancellation on our other air BnB so late then we wouldnt have booked it. The main problem is location. Its so central that its incredibly noisy. Although down an alley with a metal gate saying private no access this didnt stop some lads coming through and sitting on the bench under the window at 2am doing drugs, kindly offered me some, I declined and asked them to leave as they were loud and I didnt want my son to wake up. The solution is to either get rid of the bench or put a lock on the metal gate.
