“Fantastic period featured”

We met with friends in whitby and Roseberry was the perfect house. Close to the town centre and beach but quiet and peaceful. A mix of bedrooms/beds which was perfect for our party of mixed couples/singles. Would be great for families. 2 large lounges - 1 with a real fire and 1 with a gas fire for those who dont want to clean up the ash. We used the real fire as it was very cosy. We have stayed here before and loved it so much we decided to stay again. 2 of the couples are looking to book with ...

“The cottage is situated in an excellent location and the three parking spaces were very useful!”

We met the housekeeper on arrival who welcomed us warmly and gave us a guided tour, answering any questions we had. The cottage itself was clean and there was spare bedding, towels and extra blankets. We felt that many rooms were a little dated or tired-looking and some features could be modernised e.g. kitchen appliances, mattresses. The heating system was very difficult to use and the noise created from the macerators in the middle floor toilet and en-suite, was incredibly loud. Considering all this, we felt the price of our stay didn’t reflect good value for money compared with other luxury cottages we have stayed in.

Thank you for comments. We appreciate any feedback to help and improve our services. The owner usually receives excellent feedback for Roseberry House and was a little disappointed with your comments as they feel the photographs are an accurate representation of the property, but all comments are taken on board. If you are not familiar with a macerator it can be a unusual noise but it has been checked and it is functioning correctly. With reference to value for money, you did choose to travel on one of the two the most expensive weeks of the year and the price did reflect this. I'm sorry that it didn't live up to your expectations and hope it didn't effect your time there. Sykes owner relations

“The property was as described and perfect for our family group of 5 adults 3 young kids and a dog!”

Ideal location in the centre of Whitby, near most local amenities. The accommodation was comfortable and spacious with a good supply of books and games. The welcome pack on arrival was a nice touch. The only negative was the refuse disposal, as on arrival on the Friday all the bins were already full. They were not emptied until the following Thursday, so waste was stored outside in bin liners, much to the delight of the Seagulls, as we found to our cost! This did not spoil the holiday, but it was an issue that needs sorting.

“Lovely stylish house with plenty of room for the nine of us.”

Beautifully furnished and very comfortable. I wish it was mine!!

“Excellent location.”

Clean rooms. Everything just as we needed
Mrs Hill April 2018

“The house was perfect for our family.”

Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Very well equipped. Very well positioned for all whitby has to offer. If I had to give one negative which didn’t matter to much, is that there’s no garden as such, just a small paved area to the back. But all in all a great house. I would def recommend.
Mrs Lovell March 2018

“We had some family stopping from America.”

What a wonderful house to stop in Whitby. It was spacious and comfortable and had the added benefit of having two large sitting rooms and a large dining table in the kitchen which we could all fit around. It is in an ideal postion - only 5 minutes from the harbour. We would definitely recommend this house and will hopefully be back again.Thank for the welcome pack. It was appreciated especially the dog treats for our dog.

The house is very spacious and has everything that is needed with a large group and more. Every room is spacious.
Mr Conway September 2017

“The House is superb for extended families.”

Location, accommodation, facilities are all superb. Private parking also a huge benefit in Whitby. We would definitely use this house again.

Excellent choice

“Absolutely super house, perfect location, very well equipped”

As a family group, we have stayed in Whitby 9 years in a row. This was our second stay at Roseberry and we have already booked for next year. We love it! The house has everything we need and is so spacious and comfortable. We range in age from 65 to almost 2 and all fit in so well. The kitchen with its extra large farmhouse table easily sits 10 or more and has everything you could need. There are two large sitting rooms which means we can use one for the children to spread out with their toys and one can be for the grown ups. Large bedrooms are excellent for family sharing and there are 3 bathrooms plus an extra loo so never any queuing! The little yard outside is a lovely suntrap and excellent for drying the washing (or you can use the inside airer in the utility room). All in all its fantastic.

“A real gem!”

We booked Roseberry House for a family holiday. The house had to accommodate 8 adults and two small children. It was fantastic! Not only is the position in Whitby ideal, only a few minutes walk from restaurants, shops, pubs etc, but also from the harbour. The house contained everything we needed, the rooms were large and well furnished,making each room, including the bedrooms extremely comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with more than enough of everything to keep us going. The welcome pack was lovely and really made us feel at home. A great house that we would not hesitate to book again.

“Extremely comfortable, very well equipped house.”

Stayed here with friends and family. A great time was had by all. Lovely packets of local biscuits waiting for us on our arrival. The kitchen table is huge and is a great place for a big group to eat, make plans and play the occasional board game! The bedrooms are spacious and vey well decorated. The lounges are big enough for everyone to be accommodated in one room if you want. The location is ideal being close to shops, restaurants and the station. I would highly recommend staying here if you are a large group. Being super picky the two saniflow loos are a little noisy but you could use one of the other two loos! Oh room to park 3 cars, that is a big bonus in Whitby.

“Lovely Large House”

We stayed in Roseberry House for the weekend in April. We were a group of 9, with no youngsters. We found the house to be perfect for us. Lots of space, in a quirky layout meant we could rove around with out getting in each others' way. The bedrooms were spacious and quiet. Even if the others were still up, not a sound disturbed anyone who had retired for the night! 2 great sitting rooms - each with a big flat screen tv would be ideal for a group with teenagers (there's wifi for them too) but we all fitted in both perfectly, so just had to choose which one we felt like sitting in. Everything was clean and well cared for. Don't be intimidated by the warnings on the macerator bathrooms - just use a bit of common sense and it's all fine. If you had young children with you, prams and strollers etc. could be parked in the utility room out of the way - also, a good place for wet wellies or buckets and spades if needs be! And there's a little sunny courtyard at the back for buckets of shells or other beach finds. We didn't do much in the way of "self catering" - but if you were inclined to use the range stove, we're sure you would find every thing you would need. It's in a great location for "down town" Whitby, so eating out is very easy, just a stroll to the harbourside places and a great tea/coffee shop at the bottom of the street. Parking is not really an issue as there are 3 dedicated parking places just over the road, but the house is in such a fab location, we did not use our cars during our stay. All in all this is a great house for large groups of any combination. You can split up into smaller groups if you want to, or stay together in the lounges. There are various configurations of doubles and twins to accommodate a wide range of combinations of families, friends, couples and children. It's handy for everything and won't break the bank. A top house and we would not hesitate to return.

“Fabulous family holiday”

We stayed for Easter week at Roseberry House with the family (ages 12-83). The house was wonderful, loads of room, comfy beds, two sitting rooms and a well equipped kitchen. It is situated in a great spot in the town with everything a short walk away. Once there we didn't need the cars at all! Bothams Bakery and Tea Shop is a minute away, 5 mins to the Whale Arch, tea rooms and shops on the doorstep and a short stroll to the Abbey. There is plenty to do for everyone. The house is one of the best we have stayed in over years of Holiday Houses! We had everything we needed, it was warm and comfortable and prettily decorated. We appreciated the welcome gifts and the house was immaculately clean. We are definitely going back!,

“Wonderful holiday home”

9 of us (all adults) stayed in Roseberry House for a long weekend. We couldn't have been happier with our choice. The house is very spacious & warm with 2 lounges and a large well equipped kitchen. The owner even left us tea, milk & biscuits for our arrival. The bedrooms are all beautifully decorated and comfortable and there are plenty of toilets & bathrooms to avoid queuing! Only one thing to watch out for is that towels are not provided. The house is situated within easy walking distance of the town, pubs, restaurants & attractions so we didn't move the cars until we left to go home (which we were glad about as the narrow Whitby streets are a bit of a challenge to navigate). Would definitely recommend the house and would love to return.

“Fabulous, warm, character house.”

Stayed here with 7 friends - all female - and we had a wonderful time. You will want for nothing if you stay here. The house has everything you need and it is so near the shops, pubs, restaurants and the beach, with wonderful walks in Whitby and the surrounding areas. Definitely recommend to anyone.

“Excellent holiday house”

Superb, well appointed, warm, spacious house. We stayed over Christmas, with family (6adults and 3 children) and found Roseberry House a home from home for us all. Great facilities and a superb location. Loved exploring Whitby. Would def recommend.

“Awesome”

I booked this for my wife's 50th Birthday in Feb and friends travelled up from kings Lynn. The house was perfect big enough for the 12 of us without being over crowded. We got a friendly welcome visit to explain all about the house and asked if we required any further help which I though was a nice touch. The house is situated conveniently close to Local Pubs (Which we loved by the way)and shops.We had everything we needed in the house and it was very comfortable. We had a fantastic weekend and would definitely look to book again. We

“Just Beautiful”

I cannot recommend this accommodation enough...it really has the wow factor from the minute you walk through the door.it is tastefully decorated immaculately clean,spacious and well equipped,we were a party of 12 ladies celebrating a friend's birthday and the house was a perfect base in a great central location,with parking for 3 cars ( the owners also provided parking permits for other cars in the party) The owners communicated brilliantly before our stay and the housekeeper had left us tea and biscuits as a lovely welcome gesture..... Don't let the cost put you off as divided between the 12 of us it was probably cheaper than staying in a bed and breakfast and it was lovely to have all that space and to come and go as we wanted......I didn't want to leave ( I did consider squatting lol ) we will definitely book Roseberry House again

“A lovely house ideal location &beauitfully; decorated”

Housekeeper was friendly and left cookies and tea/coffee The house was beautiful inside and was very roomy. It was perfect for our large 3generation family. Location was ideal set back from the main street but within a minute walking distance from bakery and butchers. It was great for cooking and was very roomy for relaxing and eating all together. We liked the comfy beds & secret stair cases. The house had lots of charector however had all modern amenities.
