"Lovely house close enough to walk into Whitby."
Everything we needed was there. Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.
Hello Steven, thank you very much for taking the time to review Aurora, we really appreciate it. Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and everything you needed was in the property. We hope to welcome you back one day. Many thanks indeed. Neil & Pam Property Owner

"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
Hello Anne, thank you for the time taking to post a lovely review after your stay at Aurora. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your time with us, the decor and the nice walk each day. The emulsion on the walls is Dulux Walls & Ceilings paint and the colour is Egyptian Cotton in a matt finish. Hope that helps and we hope to see you again one day. Neil & Pam. Property Owner

"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.
Dear Zoe, thank you so much for taking time to review Aurora, we really appreciate feedback from our valued guests. It is wonderful to hear you enjoyed the property, the location and our welcome pack too! The private parking is certainly a benefit to our guests given how busy Whitby can be. With regards to the stair gates, we will consult with Sykes again as we were advised to remove them previously. We look forward to welcoming you back to Aurora and Whitby. Thank you again, Neil & Pam. Property Owner

"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.
Dear Sally, thank you very much for taking the time to review Aurora. We are pleased you had a comfortable stay and found the property met your requirements. We agree, it is a great location for a nice easy walk to the Town and harbour. We hope to see you again one day and welcome you back to Aurora. Best wishes, Neil & Pam Property Owner

"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
Dear Carole, thank you so much for taking the time to review Aurora, we always love to hear from our valued guests. We very much appreciate the feedback and will look to place something in the en-suite shower to hold toiletries. We hope to welcome you back one day. Neil & Pam Property Owner

"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.
Dear Katherine, Thank you for this lovely review, we are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay at Aurora and found it a great base to explore Whitby. We hope to welcome you back one day. Neil & Pam Property Owner

"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.
Dear Diane, Thank you for the review, we always appreciate feedback from our guests and we are so pleased you found Aurora a great place to stay and that it was quiet and comfortable too. We have never had any feedback with the size of the fob on the keys, so we will look into that, thank you for sharing. Neil & Pam Property Owner

"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.
Dear Ikra, What lovely comments. Thank you so much for sharing these with us and I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Aurora and Whitby. We hope to welcome you back one day. Neil & Pam Property Owner

"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.
Dear Claire, Thank you so much for the lovely review. We really appreciate the time taken to provide us with feedback, it is always good to hear from our guests. We are delighted you had a lovely stay in Aurora and took advantage of our private parking spaces on the drive too . We hope to see you return one day. Neil & Pam Property Owner

"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.
Dear Holly, thank you so much for your wonderful review, we really appreciate the time taken to provide such valuable feedback. It is great to hear you enjoyed Whitby and Aurora and had a comfortable stay with us. Just to let you know that the back yard area is jet washed by myself regularly and there is a retractable washing line attached to the fence with pegs located in the utility room. We were advised not to place child safety gates in the property by the agents, but we will look into that. We thank you for the recommendation and do hope to see you return one day. Best wishes, Neil & Pam Property Owner

"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.
Dear Jane, It was lovely to meet you both and we are so pleased you had a nice break at Aurora, enjoyed Whitby and also the property too. We hope to see you return in the future. Thank you for the wonderful feedback too, it is very much appreciated. With our best wishes and kind regards, Neil & Pam. Property Owner

"Great accomodation couldn't fault it."
In a quiet area and parking for two cars is a bonus, hard to find in Whitby.
Dear Ashley, Thank you so much for this wonderful review. As we have just recently starting hosting guests at Aurora it is super to hear you could not fault the property and enjoyed the bonus of having a parking space for two cars too. We really appreciate the time taken to complete the feedback and the high scores in all categories. We hope you visit Aurora again. Neil & Pam Property Owner

"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

Robin Hood's Bay 5.5 miles; Scarborough 19.3 miles; Pickering 23 miles; Guisborough 21.5 miles.
The seaside town and port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire. Ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire, the local area hosts an array of activities so you can be sure to get the best out of both the countryside and the coast. 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.
