Reviews
Well another holiday sadly comes to an end and our 4th year at the amazing Kirkby House. We have now been coming to Whitby 5 years only break we could book it was when it was sold from Prospect House to Kirkby House. Stayed the other side of the river and it wasn’t a patch on this place. Must to do’s not in any specific order The Buck Inn - quiz Monday The Abbey and coffee room - coffee and cake yummy The Whitby Brewery excellent tour Saturday and Sunday The Humble Pie Try the fatties Whitby’s answer to the humble scone. Cake shop near the indoor market. Must visit the record store in the market ace selection Sherlock’s cafe Loads to see Steam engines and loads of boats See you next year already booked July 2020 X
This is an absolutely fantastic cottage for the perfect Whitby holiday which is in the heart of the town, just 5-10 minutes walk to beach though the town.The cottage itself is beautifully presented and incredibly welcoming and comforting: it was well equipped with incredibly comfortable beds sleeping up to 5 guests ; also it has a perfect sized TV in its modern spacious living area with spectacular views overlooking the harbour and another great feature was the phenomenal bathrooms, the shower tends to your needs perfectly (which is easily adjusted a powerful shower spray) However, the only problem with the cottage is the parking; you have to be very lucky to get somewhere to park (but this is like most cotteges in the prime location of whitby).Don't let this put you off as it is a lovely cottage with breathtaking views! Defiantly recommend .
The cottage was perfect for a relaxing holiday. It offered great views and was a good base for our walking holiday.
