Finest Retreats - Abbeyview

Absolutely everything such a nicely located property even in the snow

Nothing

The property was lovely and clean. It had a lovely home from home vibe.

The outdoor snug has no heating which was a shame as it would have been an ideal space for the teenager to sit at night time.

The location

Awful smell in the downstairs bathroom and front porch. No warning about the high step in the downstairs bedroom which M fell down. I also sat on a garden chair which collapsed when I sat on it. Bathrooms were not clean

Location very quiet and secluded by only 5 mins from centre of Whitby

House was very cold on arrival and took all night to warm through. They need to ensure heating is on on cold days when guests arrive.

Ample car parking, comfortable beds, great location.

Little bit of a strong smell in the downstairs bathroom. The water was running muddy in the bath didn’t bother us but just meant we couldn’t bathe our 6-month old.

Clean, comfy and cosy. Lovely location - semi-isolated. Property will be found on the right hand side near the end of the half mile track. Central heating, electric radiators and a coal fire. 1.5 miles from Abbey, 2miles from nearest shop. Lovely views from 2 of the 3 upstairs velux windows. Sky views from the 3rd window for someone of my height. Had a very relaxing time and would definitely stay again. The summer house is off the very private courtyard and is accessed from either the ground floor bedroom or a door off the driveway. We left that door locked. It was too cold for us to use (no heating) as it was a cold November, including a nice layer of snow the one day, but it looked very inviting with its large window and view of open land. Note: A car is needed as there is no public transport close by. Fabulous views when walking along the road to the Abbey which, on a nice day, was very pleasant.

Open en-suite to ground floor bedroom. Despite the one step down to the bedroom, a sliding door or privacy curtain would have been good. I could not be 'on view' when using the toilet and the ceilings upstairs were not suitable for my tall husband so we slept apart for that week. We arrived in the dark so it would have been useful to know that fuel was not provided for the fire as we could have picked some up on the way. Fuel and firelighters cost us just under £30 for the week. Sainsburys have an excellent bag of fuel - Homefire Smokeless - Hotter, Slow Burning (it definitely was both). £8.50 per bag. Arriving at dusk, we needed a DPD delivery driver to tell us where, along the half mile track, the property was located as it was not obvious the track continued on. Abby View will be found on the right hand side near the end of the track.

Quiet, out of the way peaceful, just right for the dog and us. Loved the location and the walks close by to the beach and the quietness of the very dark nights to get a good relaxing sleep.

A little enclosure to let the dog out on its own would of been good.

The house was in a quiet area, good views and parking.

The house was not clean, the bathrooms and kitchen were dirty and there was an overuse of scented air fresheners, which was overbearing. On requesting that the property was cleaned so we could continue our stay, this was refused. Owner did replace the rusty toaster and provided high chair when it was pointed out that it was not available as advertised.
