We had a lovely stay and despite the cons we would book it again: Pros - location and general amenities, kitchen lovely, bath was really nice feature Cons - I didn’t notice the required additional damage waiver until I’d booked, the handbook was incorrect regarding the parking permit. The street parking is time limited. Areas for improvement- shower curtain needs replacing or bleaching, radiators need repainting Not putting it as a negative as the location was so good, but the pubs are quite noisy - this could be a consideration.

The location was great and the bed very comfy. The view of the main room is superb! The only thing which was not very convenient is that there is not shower head, only the bath. So it was not the best after a long day walking in Whitby, or to wash our hair. Apart from that, it was great!

Henderson House is a cosy house with great central location, lovely decoration, comfortable beds, cosy rooms, easy key box check in. We enjoyed our stay. There was just one issue - the bathroom has no shower. There was a Victorian, free-standing bathtub without shower hose. Shower hose had been removed by owner as previous guests had flooded the bathroom. So we had to wash in the bathtub with a jug from the kitchen to wash off the sand from the beach. The images on the website suggested that there is a shower - I think that image has now been removed. Another smaller issue was that the fuse blew when we used the kettle and toaster at the same time. The house is hosted by Host and Stay, a local holiday company who manage many properties in the area. The communication was very good and friendly but they require an additional waiver insurance fee of £25 or a deposit of £250 which needs to be paid outside the Airbnb website. No big deal but it confused me as I was not familiar with this. Once the owner puts in a shower I would recommend the property.
