This house is lovely, very spaciousand interesting, the decor is much better than the pictures as its recently been renovated.

2nd time we have stopped and will book again if available, as with the first stay it could do with curtains in the bedrooms as its light but we take eye masks, also its near a main road down to whitby town so earplugs for the boy racers noisy cars are handy. Theres a small courtyard that would benifit from the cleaners inspecting as bags of rubbish were left here when we arrived which was a bit unpleasant.

The Anchorage was lovely, so lovely that we're hoping to rebook in November.

We have stayed in Whitby lots of times and have always appreciated an information folder with what to do in the area, where to eat, etc, etc, (even though we know, others may not), which we didn't get for The Anchorage. What would have been more beneficial within this is how the heating and hot water works, fortunately, my husband managed to find this out himself, and it would have been better for us if he hadn't had to go searching. Also the tap in the downstairs toilet really needs be be repaired.
