Aurora

When we arrived at 4pm as check in was 3pm we was ready to settle in for the evening, we took are bags in and the house it's self was beautiful but unfortunately the house had not been cleaned from previous people who stayed rubbish still in bin bedding,towels it was disgusting to see , luckily I rang a number and spoke to a lady who apologised and sent a cleaner out , we sat in while she cleaned she left at gone half 6 it wasn't ideal but it needed to happen, the décor and the facilities was spot on but the mattress was so uncomfortable we have left with bad backs, the house was lovely and the location was fantastic

A delightful and well-located townhouse, clean, comfortable, quiet and nicely appointed.

The en-suite bathroom did need two new LED bulbs. The owner was informed early in our stay.

The house was ok , but needed some TLC with some cleaning ,oven was not that clean , and the bin when we took out our rubbish was nor good either.

We didn’t get of to a good start with this house as when we arrived at 3 10 , it had not been cleaned so was not ready for us .could not work the TV and gave up on that . We had a great week in Whitby but would think twice about booking this property again.

Great property in a very convenient location.

There was a sizable group of us, adults and children, and it didn't feel over crowded. Very well equipped. We would definitely book again. Hopefully for longer next time. Easy walk into Whitby and good access to the main road for exploring further afield.

We enjoyed three nights in this beautiful house, it was clean, spacious and cozy for our joint family visit.

All thats left is to get back the clothes I left.... mum life!! Thank you.

The house was excellent.

Well equipped and clean. If I had a little point the weeds outside the front door and the hedge stoped you getting out the car. Back yard was untidy. But that was minor. Will definitely go back.

We arrived at the property to find hairs over some of the beds.

I contacted the manager Ruh of the property who told me she had checked it herself and could not send anyone back to the house so I was told to hoover it myself. Not a good start. Thorough cleaning should be standard practice those beds can not have been changed with the amount of hairs on them. Also noticed a damp mark on the ceiling in the living room. The next day we used the en-suite shower. It leaked through to the bathroom below and in to the living room. Someone came round the next day to try to repair it but still leaked so was unable to use it all week. Saw the extent of the damage behind the bathroom tiles it must have been an issue for a long time. Issues with this property in relation to management and cleaning. Serious issues need to be sorted out before you rent this property out to another family. It spoiled what was supposed to be a relaxing holiday for us that we had spent a lot of money on.

The accommodation was very comfortable and very well equipped clean and warm within walking distance to town all in all very nice place to stay and would definitely book it again

We had a great stay in Aurora.

It had everything we needed, was clean and comfortable and only a short walk into Whitby town centre. We will hopefully be back someday!

Great location, excellent clean comfortable house with great facilities.

Welcome pack was a lovely touch. Added bonus was two parking spaces outside the property. Would definitely recommend.

A lovely, spotlessly clean, comfortable, modern house within easy walking distance of the centre of Whitby.

We enjoy walking, so it was great not to have to bother using the car at all for most of our stay. We also enjoyed being able to see the North Yorkshire Moors Railway from the lounge window. One observation to mention: the A171 road crosses the River Esk at high level about 50 metres from the house. Prior to our arrival we had wondered if this would be intrusive. But we needn't have worried as we hardly noticed it at all, even outside of the property.

Good to have 2 parking spaces in Whitby.

Pleasant 15 mins walk to the bridge into town. Appreciated the teabags and goodies, thank you. A pint of milk would have been a welcome addition. Kitchen, bathrooms and furniture were clean and modern. The only negatives were a lack of shelf/cabinet in bathrooms. Nowhere to put toiletries. Also mattresses uncomfortable in ensuite room and twin room. Maybe time to replace.

Beautiful house with more than enough room for 6 of us (4 adults and 2 teenagers).

We had everything we needed for a full weeks stay

Aurora is a fantastic holiday home.

We couldn’t fault it. Very clean, the decor is lovely. Everything you need is there. Location is brilliant just a ten minute walk along the river into Whitby town centre. The Cleveland way for stunning walks along the coast is on the doorstep. We would definitely return to this property.

Lovely property finished to a high standard, great for a family.

Location is great for a stroll into Whitby and the property was easy to find. Parking for 2 cars was very useful. The bedroom in the basement felt very cold despite the warm weather, outside areas could do with some attention too. The heating schedule needs adjustment as it kept coming on. Overall, we would visit again and recommend.

Lovely house close enough to walk into Whitby.

Everything we needed was there. Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.

Excellent holiday home in a quiet, safe location close to the centre.

We enjoyed our walk to and from the house each day. Lovely decor. My daughter would love to know the colour/make of the wall paint as she has just had a similar kitchen fitted while we were away

We had a lovely stay at Aurora.

Perfect location for walking into Whitby and the area was nice and quiet. The property is spread over 3 levels so there are a lot of stairs. I would highly recommend to the owners to provide stair gates, as my 11 month old would take every opportunity he could to get to the stairs. Luckily, there were doors to every room, so we kept these shut at all times. Lovley large kitchen with everything you could need, with plenty of seating for all guests. We didn't use the outdoor seating area due to the time of year but I imagine it would be very nice in the summer. Private parking for 2 cars right outside the property was a real bonus. The welcome pack was a lovely gesture, thank you. Overall, I cannot fault the property, we will definitely return in the near future.

Excellent property.

Spotlessly clean, modern and with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. Plenty of space for everyone. Superb location, easy walk to the town and harbour.

Thank you for a lovely stay, such a beautiful, clean home.

Amazingly comfortable beds, with crisp, whiter than white sheets. Very well equipped kitchen and sparkling bathrooms on every floor with fluffy towels. Utility room with washer and dryer and wine fridge was wonderful. The townhouse was well-decorated and tastefully furnished with quality furniture, appliances and equipment. Parking for two cars, which is a bonus in Whitby, as we could leave our car and walk in to town. Aurora is in a very good location, with riverside walk enabling a flat, easy, 10 minute stroll in to Whitby with lots of pubs, cafes and quaint shops within easy reach, plus good beaches. We have holidayed in Whitby many times over the years, but have never stayed over this side of the river before, it was perfect. We loved watching the NYR steam train from the comfort of our lounge on a daily basis. Wonderful days out have been to Sandsend, Staithes, Runswick Bay, Robin Hood's Bay, plus inland to Goathland and Grossmont on the beautiful North Yorkshire Moors. Just to note, the townhouse is over three floors, we had a 2.5 year old who is steady on his feet, so this wasn't a problem, but child gates to close off the first and second floor to keep littles ones securely contained would be helpful. The only improvements we would suggest are to the outside back yard area. The paved area would benefit from being jet washed, cushions provided for the outside seats (could be stored in utility room) and provide a washing line and pegs to save on using the dryer in good weather. We definitely recommend Aurora and hope to return to this accommodation for another, comfortable holiday. Thank you.

Lovely property, well appointed.

Would definitely stay here again. Comfortable beds and sofas, very clean throughout. The only minor niggle is nowhere to put shampoo, shower gel etc in the en-suite shower

A beautifully clean and well appointed and equipped holiday home, with lots of space, comfy beds and thoughtful touches.

A great base. A little more information on the location (walking distance into Whitby) would have been useful on the main listing.

Great place, quiet and comfortable with lots of space and we appreciated multiple toilets across all floors!

About 15 minute walk to centre of town and no corner shop to pop to although there's a big Sainsbury's 5 mins drive away. You can see the river from the lounge, just, and it's nice to walk along it to town. The keys were on a big key fob that actually makes it very difficult to put them in the key box and shut it. It took nearly 4 minutes to fit them in the box and get it to close so we could leave.

Great property with amazing interior design.

I could tell a lot of thought and care had gone into every aspect, many thanks for allowing us to have a glimpse of life in Aurora.

Had a lovely stay at Aurora.

Great that we could park the car and walk into town. Very clean property with lovely comfy beds. Would definitely book again if we return to Whitby.

Great property in Whitby as a base for both an easy walk into town and getting out and about to visit the lovely countryside and villages nearby.

Property was very comfortable modern and well appointed to be a home from home, with the benefit of both outside space and car parking. Owners are local and couldn’t be more helpful which made for a very pleasant weeks vacation.

Great accomodation couldn't fault it.

In a quiet area and parking for two cars is a bonus, hard to find in Whitby.

I cannot fault this property It was perfect for us So clean with everything we needed Amazing

Lovely place, very clean.

Nice and quiet, nice welcome pack. Definitely come again. Thanks David.

We had a wonderful family break in Aurora.

Immaculately clean and spacious with everything you need. Comfortable beds and very spacious kitchen and lounge, with Sky stream TV an added bonus! It was great to be able to park on the drive with our cars and take the short walk into the Town centre without the hassle of finding somewhere to park. Great walks nearby and a convenient friendly pub 5 mins walk on the way into Town. Lovely quiet area and we will definitely return later in the summer. Marie, Michael & Family. April 2023

Amazing place, pristine, will recommend and definitely visit again.

Very clean and well equipped. Thank you so much Neil and Pam.
