Adventure House - Whitby

Great location in the centre of town and the property itself has great potential and some nice features. Good space for a family holiday. Owners/company (Gary in particular!) responsive to messages and even remembered to check in to follow up after initial issues upon arrival. Property due to be renovated- so hopefully its true potential will shine within the next year and before the summer season. I wish them the best in this because I know they can and will thrive when they do!

The property was filthy. We spent the first chunk of time on our holiday cleaning. It obviously hadn’t been hoovered or properly cleaned before we arrived- we’re talking food on the kitchen floor, unwiped hob, dirty crockery and cutlery, crushed crisps on the carpet in the lounge, walls and furniture covered in dust. We could not relax until we’d wiped down more or less everything. Owners were responsive in apologising and sending a cleaner to come and help us clean the property. Seems to be a problem with the cleaning company they use? Cleaner had to be asked to mop the kitchen (used only water- no detergent…) and hoover the corridors as well as just hoovering the lounge and bedrooms. Carpets and sofas well worn and stained.

Very central location/house comfortable & everything you need

It's a great central location with heaps of potential.

This house has so much potential to be wonderful but the decor is dated and the cleaner needs to go! The facilities and space is great, the furniture is good but it was generally mucky, loads of thick cobwebs and dirty marks on the flooring, old food in the dishwasher and sink...such a shame when it's so easy to fix!

Location

The whole place needs a deep clean. Would benefit from redecoration in places

Great location.

The two top bedrooms had not been cleaned so used towels and sheets were in there. Living room and stairs hadn’t been hoovered. Quickly sorted after a phone call though. Sink in main bedroom very narrow, difficult to use for cleaning teeth!

Excellent location for Whitby town, easily walkable to the shops, beach and of course the 199 steps to the Abbey

Parking in Whitby can be a challenge, however the accommodation do provide free parking permits which worked well for our family with three cars!

The location was very good

stains on the carpet and quite a few things were broken (toilet roll holder, radiator panel) not enough hanging space for clothes no wardrobes either

A beautiful house with great facilities. Super close to the town. Good number of bathrooms for large group. Lovely kitchen for cooking.

We did get parking tickets (not the house's fault) so read instructions on permits better than we did. Top bedroom door was stuck but caretaker came and fixed within 20 mins. Could have done with a sweep outside as a previous guest must have smoked and put butts in the flower pot. No off the lead area for dog in case this important for some people and house is down an alleyway with a step leading down the lane.

The location and the size of the house was good for a family of 8

Some of the springs in the mattresses seemed to have gone. The standard of cleaning in some areas could be improved
