"We had a week at the police house and thoroughly enjoyed it."
House is even better than the pictures , spacious and very clean and comfortable. Having its own off street parking is a real bonus in Whitby and being walking distance from the town centre and the cinder path meant we hardly moved the car. We will return as we love Whitby and this house is one if the best we have stayed in.

"We really enjoyed our week at this lovely holiday cottage."
It is warm, very comfortable and well equipped. Nice secure garden for dogs. Easy to get into Whitby but far enough away to avoid the hustle and bustle. Would highly recommend.
-
"Well presented two bedroom house with good amenities."
Around 15-20 minutes walk into town centre although that involves walking back up hill! Comfortable beds and sofas. Enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it.
-
"Lovely property, had everything we could have needed for our stay."
The home was clean and tidy and stayed warm throughout our stay. Nice garden to sit outside in. Powerful shower and comfy bed. Lovely location, far enough out of the hustle and bustle to make it peaceful but close enough you can walk into Whitby.
-
"Lovely place to stay and well placed for visits to Whitby and Robin Hoods bay"
-
"We had a great holiday in Whitby and surrounding area, and this cottage was just the icing on the cake!"
Very comfortable and cosy and has everything you would possibly need. The garden appears perfect for dogs (unfortunately I lost mine after booking this holiday) and would be great to sit and relax in. It is close to Whitby town centre and the walk to and back is very pleasant. I definitely recommend this cottage and will definitely book again. Thank you.

"Fantastic property - ideally located to walk into Whitby albeit uphill the last half mile going back to the property."
Great parking space. A well equipped & very clean property. Downstairs double bedroom with bathroom right next to it so ideal for people with less mobility. Fantastic shower. Peacefully located. Bungalow located in Eskdale Road just off Larpool Lane. Only suggestion maybe install grab handle in downstairs shower cubicle & blinds on patio door as a little overlooked. I would highly recommend this property 5*

"Really cosy little house, lovely comfortable furnishings."
Very dog friendly with secure outdoor spaces. Great showers ! This was ideal for friends sharing with separate bedrooms and bathrooms and a lovely communal living area. Great location easily walkable into Whitby and lovely walks on the doorstep. Definitely planning a return visit

"Very good property every things you what in property thank you"
-
"Perfect place to stay for visiting Whitby and surrounding areas, cosy, well maintained and position couldn’t be better, short walk onto Cinder path and then flat walk straight into Whitby off the roads, ideal for dog walking."
Would definitely recommend this property and if visiting the area again we would stay here as it was so welcoming the Christmas tree was a lovely. Brian and Denise

"Had a lovely week at The Police House."
Very clean , comfortable. Was well equipped. Would highly recommend.
-
"A smart and deceptively spacious property which would appear to have been refurbished very recently."
The double bed was comfy but we have to agree with a previous review that the sofas were less so. It is ideal for dog owners with its enclosed patio and proximity to the Cinder Track and the centre of Whitby. The owner kindly allowed us to arrive before 5 p.m.
Thanks for your positive feedback. Having taken a good look at the sofas we agree and have just replaced them with brand new ones. Thanks. Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay in this property which was conveniently situated to Whitby and many interesting and varied attractions in the area."
The house was well equipped for cooking meals. The furnishings were modern and very clean, and the whole property had a cosy feel. The size of the upstairs shower was a little tight but the water was hot at all times.The proximity to the Cinder Path meant we could walk easily in two directions and beyond from the property. It is a property that I would recommend to my family and friends.

"We had a lovely time at this cottage."
We were very happy with the amenities. The only problem was the two settees had seen better days. So much so that they were very uncomfortable to sit on. They really were the only spoiler for us. The cottage is so well situated for all the attractions in Whitby. We also went along to Scarborough Beach for the day. There were lots of attractions there for families it was lovely. We have a dog who had a great time on the detached and around town as it is so dog friendly.
Thank you for the positive feedback which we welcome. I'm sorry you found an issue with the seating. This hasn't been flagged as an issue before so were unawsre. we will take a look and see what we can do to improve the situation. Thanks again. Just an addition we've replaced the sofas with two brand new ones. Property Owner

"This is a lovely property in a really great location."
We very much enjoyed our stay at 1A Police House. A short walk/ drive into Whitby, with supermarkets close by. Whitby is a beautiful part of the UK with lots of lovely places to explore along the coastline. Would highly recommend this property.

"Extremely clean good facilities Comfortable beds Directions to find property ..."
Extremely clean good facilities Comfortable beds Directions to find property very poor needs to be far more specific
Thanks for the feedback we will review the directions and try to make them more specific. We also urge guests to contact us directly if they are having any difficulties as we live close by and so can easily be of assistance. Property Owner

"Immaculately clean, excellent location, everything you need is provided."
From a personnal aspect, thought the upstairs mattress too soft and would suggest blinds on the upstairs windows. Had a lovely stay and would be happy to return in the future.
-
"Very good cottage with everything you need."
No problems at all. Good location and parking was a definite advantage.
-
"Lovely accommodation, plenty of equipment for self catering."
Downstairs bedroom ideal with bathroom ( with walk in shower) ideal if mobility is an issue. Upstairs space also comfortable with lots of space and enough hanging and storage. The small garden is a suntrap, so nice to sit out with a cuppa or glass of wine, or sit sheltered from the sun under the tree. The location is great, with access to the main road which can take you to the seaside or countryside, also take a walk along the cinder track and admire the viaduct.

The seaside town and port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire.

From the nearby North York Moors to its Blue Flag beaches, there's something here for everyone. Amongst its many attractions, Whitby holds a charming atmosphere, home to winding streets and hidden alleys, where you can find a wide selection of eateries and shops scattered amongst them. Take a trip to the picturesque harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun set or get involved in some whale watching or a coastal cruise to watch the creatures up close. Climb the famous 199 steps to the Whitby Abbey to immerse yourself with history, or visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum presenting historical and ethnographic exhibition about Cook himself. Close to the Robin Hood's Bay, rich in heritage, wonders and scenic spots, and in easy reach of the bustling towns of Scarborough and Middlesbrough, Whitby is a prime location for exploring all of the delights that Yorkshire has to offer.
