  • "This is a comfortable house full of character and is conveniently situated to explore Whitby."

    The lack of parking was a problem and even at the end of September it took some time to find parking spaces and they were some distance from the property. The house was well furnished and the kitchen provided everything we needed. The only item our party would have appreciated was a grab handle on the wall to assist the youngest and oldest of our party in and out of the large deep bath.

  • "Lovely tastefully decorated and furnished house and very comfortable."

    We had a great stay and excellent value for money this time of year. Parking you can't help but having a big car didn't park outside but in Royal Crescent which is a bit of a walk uphill! But probably did me good. Very clean when we arrived and all very tastefully done. Will come back when I've got a mobility scooter for the hills of Whitby. Thank you we loved the house.

  • "Beautiful and spacious property."

    Great location. Property is for 8 people, however not enough hot water for 8 showers. Would be better if there was a combi boiler.

    Thanks for the feedback. The hot water is set to come on for four hours a day. However, when more is needed, as the house notes explains, all that needs to be done is to press boost on the Nest dial in the hall. Using his can set the hot water for as long as is needed. Property Owner

  • "We have just arrived home after a wonderful week away at the Calliope House in Whitby with all the family and well behaved dog."

    the house sits very close to the harbour and all amenities and a short walk to the lovely beach and old town. This is a large house with four large bedrooms , plenty of bathrooms and separate toilets, the kitchen and large dinning area was great for all the family to enjoy a meal. Calliope house faces south and was always warm with plenty of hot water and easily managed through a nest heating control. the lounge and snug had large tv's and felt very comfy. A bonus was, we were able to park right outside the property , but does come with parking permits for free parking in other zoned areas, if i get the opportunity to stay again in Whitby, it will most definitely be in Calliope house, Well done it is a credit to the owners to be able to stay in this impeccable home.

    Thank you so much for your comments. It is very rewarding to hear that a group of guests enjoyed their stay so much. It is a special house and we love it too! Property Owner

We found the house in excellent condition, very clean, comfy beds, fresh linen & towels, huge kitchen/diner area with an additional 2 lounges and a beautiful outdoor area - lots of space for our large party of guests. The house is equipped to a very high standard. It's ideal situation is perfect for a stay in Whitby with the town centre and beach 5 - 10min walk away. Parking discs were kindly provided and covered our entire stay there. I/we would definitely seek to stay in Calliope when next visiting the area. I would highly recommend this property.

  • "What a beautiful property in a fabulous location."

    We had a fantastic time. There were two families and there was plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen/diner is very spacious and the two reception rooms are great for giving the kids and adults space away from each other. There is a really useful boot room off one of the reception rooms which is great for bikes, shoes etc. The bedrooms are very comfortable and relaxing. The children loved being self-contained on the top floor. But the real star of the show for us was the garden terrace which is a lot bigger than it looks in the photo and is such a lovely spot to sit in for a lazy breakfast and for sharing a drink and a meal in the evening. We were really lucky with the weather so spent both nights sitting there by the fig tree and scented jasmine - bliss! We would definitely stay here again and have already recommended it to friends and family.

  • "The locality was perfect and the house as a whole was stunning."

    A couple of points , parking is very limited even with a parking pass it is difficult to find a space, I think this should be highlighted more, as once we had parked up we were not moving our cars in case we were unable to retain that space. Which we felt limited us from visiting neighbouring towns. We had a wonderful time! Also with such a wonderful kitchen maybe a TV wouldn't go a miss in here as this is where the 6 of us spent most of our time.

About the location

WHITBY

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.
