I stayed from Wednesday to Friday to assist my son who has mobility issues on a residential trip. The accommodation itself was very good and very spacious and clean. However we did experience some issues. On arrival I was contacted and informed that a heating engineer would be visiting shortly, but they did not arrive, I chased this up and was told I would receive a reply which did not happen. From Thursday evening we had no hot water or heating which is frankly unacceptable given the price we paid. The heating controls were unfathomable. I would have reported this, however my son was unexpectedly taken ill. Therefore my priority was to get him home, rather than to lodge a complaint. I can see from other reviews that this is a recurrent issue and needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency. Also I felt the kitchen was lacking some useful items such as sharp knives, foil and kitchen roll which we had to go and buy. I would expect these sort of things to be provided.

All of Whitby is beautiful but this location is stunning. The house was very comfortable, full of character.

ok, appreciate that but overall it’s been a pretty disappointing stay. The property standards have been well below standard and for the amount charged it’s not good enough. Apart from a leaking ceiling in the on suite bedroom the shower in the same room is so difficult to turn on it’s almost impossible to operate (this is mentioned many times in your custom feed back yet you have failed to fix the situation) I have had to complain on more than occasion about various missing items from the kitchen. (also no can opener which is pretty essential….again mentioned several times in your customer feedback) Also continuing boiler issues which require resetting the boiler unit itself to ensure heating and hot water (more than just resetting the the room thermostat from frost mode) We also had burn marks on upstairs carpet damage from what looks like heating tongs and bedside carpet stains in the downstairs bedroom. (photos available) Please consider us as very unhappy customers and will not be

Very nice place and situated in a very good spot in Whitby. There was a few maintenance issues we faced whilst we were there (heating problems, shower not working, leak in the roof) but all these were reported and addressed quickly by Host and Stay. Overall a good stay but some maintenance was required.

Had a lovely time at the cottage in Whitby. It is so close to the abbey which was really impressive. The cottage was clean and tidy with lots of space for the 5 of us. There were a couple of things to point out for others to be aware of: It is at the top of the 199 steps which is fine but does become a chore when you end up climbing 2 or 3 times a day. There was no soap so bring your own - 3 lots as 3 bathrooms/toilets. Everything else was lovely. May go back again but probably summer time - or when weather is better. The heating worked really well though and it was very warm inside.

Had a lovely stay at Caedmon House. The location was perfect, in close proximity to the town centre & the Cleveland way national trail for coastal walks. Electrics tripped twice during our stay which wasn’t ideal when making meals. However, the host was responsive & communicated well to get this resolved. Teas/coffees/sugars were provided which was a lovely touch. Overall, the accommodation was as photographed, nicely decorated & the check-in process smooth. Would recommend😊

The house is beautiful and it is walking distance to the Main Street. However it is a bit hard to find the way to the house during night time, luckily the host respond very quickly and with the help of the video, we finally able to get to the house. So my suggestion is try your best to arrive during daytime.

We had a wonderful stay here, it is truly stunning, your back garden is literally the abbey. Home was clean and tidy, there was 6 of us and it felt as though we had more than enough room. The location is amazing, you do have to walk up and down the 199 steps to get to the property, but we found it was lovely doing this. Well worth the money. Thankyou.

Caedmon House was beautifully presented for such an old building. The decor was fabulous, the kitchen had everything one would need and the bedrooms were large. An open living room had seating for at least six. What can I say about the location? Well, if I could give it more than a 5 rating I would. It was one of a row of former alms houses alongside Whitby Abbey and is accessed through the Abbey grounds. The views over Whitby and the sea were stunning with both sunrise and sunsets. It is not brilliant for accessibility. The entrance is on the ground floor but all the accomodation is up a flight of stairs with one en suite room on the first floor with the living room and the kitchen diner was up three further steps. Two more bedrooms on the second floor. My elderly parents coped but anyone for severe mobility issues could struggle. The same applies to the front garden/drive which is uneven with a few steps and was a bit overgrown in places. The outside security light did help

Caedmon House was a truly beautiful holiday home! Situated right at the top of the cliffs with the most stunning views of Whitby out of every window. Great transport links being right at the top of Whitby steps so you can choose the challenge of walking or the open top bus which my 4 year old adored! It was so good, we’re hoping to book the same time same place next year!

Directions to property via video was excellent. A little disappointing that the parking is not marked on the ground, as there were 3 cars parked abreast, rather than 2, one for each property. It infers that the Coach House parking was also in that section, which confused guests. Property clean and tidy, however shower in en-suite left tap difficult to turn on and off. Messaged as we couldn’t turn it on, had to use other bathroom until we were instructed to be more forceful with it. I feel it would be worth taking a look at this. A blind to the upstairs bathroom would be beneficial as night-time you can see straight in. Overall a pleasant stay.

The location and building are beautiful, absolutely one of a kind. You won't find a better view of Whitby! The house was very spacious. Unfortunately, it wasn't very clean. There was lots of dust, a musty smell, and the bedding of one of the beds was covered in (dog?) hair. When we asked the host to deal with this problem, answers were evasive and further cleaner was not facilitated. We'd definitely recommend the location and unique airbnb, but don't expect a very clean place.

Fabulous weekend in Whitby and you can't beat the views and the location of this property, but the hosts describe the place as luxury. It may have been when first launched but overtime the deco has worn and items that may have been there have disappeared. The kitchen isn't well equipted, no tabs for dish washer, nothing more than cloth to wash up with, salt and pepper empty, dish washer door falling off and most cupboards empty. In the bathroom there was no place to hang the hand towel, no place for shower toiletries and no hand soap. The upstairs bathroom, as people mention before, has no blind so whilst sitting on the toilet you can view the parking area (and potentially they can view you) and in the downstairs bathroom the shower is almost inoperable due to stiff fitting to turn on and off. The outside space could also do with a good tidy up. I realise all of these are workable but when you are paying this price per night you expect to not have to think about these things.

We really enjoyed our stay at Caedmon House, the views were spectacular and the location was great being able to walk down the steps into Whitby. A really helpful guide to finding the property and using the property was provided and the host was very helpful with any questions. The house itself was lovely and very well presented. We would definitely return here if we were to stay in Whitby again.

Check in details and exact location are with-held until you complete a form entering your personal data on a third party website accessed via a URL sent by SMS. This is not made clear until the non-refundable payment has been made. Why can’t everything be handled through the Airbnb app? As a result we arrived in the evening with no word from the host and no idea how to access the house. Google maps location was inaccurate at the time of writing, which did not help The house itself is comfortable and the location is fantastic. Cleanliness was fine considering it is a dog-friendly accommodation. Great house, awkward check in process.

James

The location of this place is unmatched (providing you are able to get up and down into Whitby...). The views are tremendous and the house has everything that you need. Bathrooms were all very clean but the living room and halls desperately needed a good hoover - which we gave them. The kitchen could have been cleaner and there were some bits and pieces left over from previous guests. None of this ruined our stay and we would definitely revisit, depending on the price .

We had a lovely weekend in Whitby and really enjoyed the location of the property – right near to the Whitby Brewery Taproom, with stunning views over the town. The property itself was warm and comfortable, which made for a relaxing stay. However, there are a few areas that could be improved. The property was difficult to find, and directions only arrived after we had already set off, which made the arrival more stressful than it needed to be. The listing mentioned an outdoor area, but there was no seating provided, which was disappointing – especially as this is something we always look for when choosing a place to stay. Compared to other Airbnb properties we've stayed in, this one lacked some basic essentials. A small amount of toilet paper was provided, very little washing-up liquid and hand soap, no dishwasher tablets and the kitchen utensils were very limited – which made self-catering more difficult than expected. Overall - good stay and with a few additions could be great.

Absolutely stunning location overlooking the bay of Whitby. Right next to the museum and out of the hussle and bussle meaning you could relax yet easy to get down to Whitby. Parts of the property could do with a little updating but beautifully restored for an old building. Only extra thing it needed was a radiator in the hallway as really cold on that part of the house. Thanks for the stay though would definitely go back xx

Stayed here with family over Christmas and it was absolutely perfect (we were even able to cook a full Christmas dinner with all the trimmings). The location is utterly amazing - you’re right at the top of the Abbey steps with breathtaking views from every window. The host even put up a Christmas tree for us so 5* service there (thank you!). Comfy beds, freshly clean linen/towels, extremely spacious, beautiful decor and the home was spotless bar a few marks on the kitchen counter/sofa etc from general wear & tear but it is to be expected. The only suggestion the family had was that an oven glove and more than one kitchen towel would have been helpful but we managed to get around this easily enough and I imagine most guests would bring their own if planning on making use of the kitchen (otherwise the town’s shops are only a short walk away if caught short). We will be recommending this delightful staycation to family & friends. Thank you to the hosts for making our stay so special.

Location of cottage amazing. Gorgeous views of Whitby from windows and Abbey from front door. Space well configured. Simply and stylishly decorated and very comfortable. Would love to stay again but some technical issues need addressing. Some things mentioned in previous guest reviews still not addressed - stiff door lock (resolved by oiling); first floor ensuite shower difficult to work; 2nd floor bathroom windows at floor level have no blinds but overlook parking area; sink in first floor toilet wasn't draining as plug stuck down; no oven gloves etc. Also the outdoor wheelie bin seemed to have vanished but hopefully Host and Stay will resolve this. Also have concerns that the front door is the only way out with no internal mechanism (like a sneck) to let yourself out other than the key. Could be fabulous with tweaks so still gave 4 stars.

Many minor missing expected items ..and a very stiff hard to enter door. No kitchen roll but a holder. Basin and soap in toilet but no hand towel and plug was jammed in so water couldn’t be drained. There were 2 bath towels but only 1 hand towel in downstairs bathroom. Very cold and draughty ( high winds) as temperature seemed to max out eventually at 20. Minor issues mounting up. Parking place confusing as there we’re already 2 cars parked in designated area My wife 80 couldn’t use the shower over the bath in upstairs bathroom as ours was not working. There were no Instructions for appliances or tv which appeared to only have Samsung tv programmes.

The cottage is in a really lovely location in the grounds of Whitby Abbey, the views from the cottage are great and it’s very close to the start of a stunning coastal walk. It’s looks like the pictures but would really benefit from a good, deep, clean. It was dusty, cobwebs, oven unclean, windows unclean, sofa stained and cushions torn. I messaged the host when we arrived to report the issues but never got a response. I assume the messages we did get were automated. Good e-guide provided and a helpful video on how to access the property as that is not obvious. The location probably / possibly justified the price but such a shame it wasn’t in a better condition - that should be an easy fix.

Not happy about important items missing in kitchen:- NO cafetière as it was broken, only the top in a cupboard. NO pods only the coffee pod machine NO blinds or curtains in upstairs bathroom /toilet over the 2 floor level windows overlooking front of accommodation and carpark. DANGEROUS projecting bedbase sticking out over wrongly shaped matress. It was easily walked into so gouged my shin VERY BADLY which is still not healed 2 weeks later. Communications with host and stay received exactly the same 2 stock replies no matter how many times commented. NO full compliment of toiletries in all bathrooms and sinks.

The cottage is in a beautiful location with wonderful views of Whitby and although it is a little difficult to find at first it is worth the effort. It is well equipped generally although the oven does not work well and also a pair of oven gloves and properly working can opener would be good. The decor is nice but could do with a redecorate at the end of the season in certain areas. It could also do with skylight windows blinds in one of the upstairs bedrooms. Also the shower in the downstairs bedroom is a little hard to get to work sometimes. The blinds and the shower were mentioned on day one of our 3 night stay and were told someone would have a look but it seems like nobody came. Overall we did thoroughly enjoy our stay there and despite pointing out some minor flaws, we would recommend a stay here. It seems that the cleaning team are doing a great job while the maintenance team needs to try harder .

Wow, what a beautiful place to stay. The house is set in the Abbey grounds with a perfect view of Whitby from EVERY window. The house has been done to a very high standard & the pictures represent the house well. We were a group of 3 but 6 people would fit in the house comfortably. The beds are extremely comfy. There are a few minor things that need addressing in this house to make it worth top dollar (Shared with the host) but it didn't stop us thoroughly enjoying our stay & we plan to return & have already told others how beautiful it is. Thank you.

You couldn't ask for a better views of Whitby, and the property is very comfortable. If you have dogs, it's worth noting that there isn't a closed off garden area, but there is plenty of green space by the large car park. We also found that 3 medium cars could fit on the drive comfortably without taking up more than the allocated space. Highly recommend the brewery which is a stones throw!

Although the precise location was hard to find, we were amazed to see how close to the Abbey we were, and it was ideally situated for the Trek event we were doing. The location and the style of the property exceeded our expectations. There were a few areas of maintenance probably needed but nothing that spoiled our stay. The kitchen was well-equipped and clean, and the bathrooms were clean and had all we needed. Bedrooms were well-presented. There were four of us staying (adults) and the accommodation was perfect for that number. Easy walk down to town where there was plenty to do and some good restaurants. Lots of steps back up, but good for us!

Amazing location with a view over the Abbey ruins on one side and the Harbour and Sea on the other. Quite stunning. Beautifully designed modern interior, although in need of a bit of TLC this should not deter anyone wanting a peaceful location just minutes from the hustle and bustle of Whitby. There was a small “area” of garden adjoining the neighbours larger lawn which I don’t remember seeing on the description but was a welcome discovery for the 6am dog let outs! The house had everything we needed with the bonus of great views!

Katie

Lovely location very close to the town the 199 steps are not as bad as expected although better going down than back up. Check in smooth , make sure to follow the exact location pin given to you closer to the time as this sends you to the property could be difficult to locate otherwise. Modern inside, quite a few steps inside so if mobility problems could be difficult. Property needs a little tlc in terms of maintenance inside. During our stay it rained quite heavy which we think caused a leak on the ground floor ceiling (looks like a crack had been patched up previously) and the tap in the kitchen area was dripping although it was turned off. Raised issues with host and stay-quick response back and someone came to have a look. Dog friendly although would have liked a closed off yard area for dog to run freely. Check out smooth although would have been nice to check out later than 10am and allow check in a little earlier than 4pm.All in all had everything needed for our short stay.

Ideally located right next to Whitby abbey and only a couple of minutes from the brewery. It really is a beautiful location to look over the town. If you are looking for somewhere that is away from the centre for peace and quiet then this place is perfect. Its less than a 5 minute walk down the 199 steps into town. Clean, cosy and fantastic views and on a clear evening you can watch the sunset over the bay, what more could you need. The rooms are spacious, beds are comfy and the living room and kitchen area are well kitted out for a group stay. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

We could not have been happier with the property and its location. Unfortunately on entering the property there was a noticeable smell of damp. It was mostly coming from inside a cupboard in the kitchen where the smell was strong. The smell of damp was also noticeable in the ensuite bathroom. Additionally the temperature in the lounge was uncomfortably cold as the main radiator was lukewarm at best on its highest setting. The radiator in the ensuite bathroom did not work at all and on a cold weekend it made using the bathroom a miserable experience. Having spent over £800 for a 3 night stay I did not expect to have to wrap up warm inside the property and suffer the smell of damp. Sort the damp and heating out and this is a perfect airbnb property !

We enjoyed our stay- great location, great views, nice views but here are a few observations from the stay. 1/ it was top dollar in terms of price 2/ under one of the upstairs beds was a Rocky chocolate biscuit- I don’t know how long that had been there. 3/ shower in the en-suite was very difficult to turn off and on 4/ Xpelair in the en-suite didn’t appear to work hence 5/ en -suite bathroom radiator again didn’t appear to work 6/ mould in the downstairs bedroom had to be removed by the window on the right hand side. This I believe is due to xpelair not working & resulting in mould in the bedroom windows 7/glasses in the kitchen had to be re-washed as they were dirty.

This cottage and location is perfect. The view from the bedrooms of the bay are really something. The house is modern, and cosy. Bedrooms are modern. Bathrooms were nice and new and every window in the house had something amazing to see when you looked out. Lounge sofa was very comfy and cosy and we loved our evenings in there. 2 minutes from Whitby centre. Hope you like steps! A few little details missed on check in. The house smelt very strongly of the previous residents dinner, and dried contact lenses left on bedside table. There was incense in one of the kitchen drawers so we lit that and it soon sorted the curry smell. Would recommend. Considering booking again for next year!

Absolutely loved our stay at Caedmon House! Check in was a breeze as you just retrieve the key from the lock box. The property is beautiful. Lovely period property but the interior is done to a high standard. The kitchen has everything you need and more, including a nespresso machine and washing machine. There is also tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper and some laundry and dishwasher tablets provided, which is good as we forgot these!! We had a tiny issue where one of the smoke alarms was beeping, but they sent someone round to sort this the same day no stress. My only feedback is would be to have a smaller lamp in the lounge so it’s not as bright when you’re trying to relax and also the property needs hooks!! Coat hooks in the entrance and hooks in the bathroom are needed as there wasn’t really anywhere for us to dry our towels. Also the drying rack provided was broken so this needs replacing. But overall an amazing stay in a fantastic location. The views are worth the price alone!!!

Beautiful place, clean, spacious and well appointed. The 199 are literally 1min walk from the front door. One thing to note is parking was difficult to find on the first day and could be addressed in the itinerary. We looked for ages at the right way to get in. You have to drive THROUGH Whitby abbey to get to the house. There is a road left hand of the English Heritage ticket office. We hesitated for ages as it feels like you're driving through a monument but that is the way in.

The property itself was stunning, furnished really nicely and the views were unbeatable. Location wise, it could not be better (assuming you can manage steps) with Whitby town centre being less than 5 minutes away. The Whitby Brewery is a very short walk away which was a bonus serving great beer and fresh pizza. The driveway was suitable for 2 cars and provided a safe secure place to park the car. Dog friendly was a bonus, our dog loved it. There is no garden though, just a small front yard which is not secure so worth noting if you are taking your dog. There were a couple of things that caused us slight issues, with blown bulbs and an iron that kept tripping the electrics. But all in all I would recommend and would consider staying again.

This is a really great place - so much better than it even looks on the website. The location is amazing - incredible views over the harbour and of the abbey (which is practically next door). Great property, comfortable, and with everything we needed.

This is an absolute killer location ( pun intended ). Stunning views over Whitby and so cool to be in the abbey grounds. The apartment is well presented and very clean. Very private. Good set up of one ensuite and two rooms sharing. Would work well for a family. Was great for myself and my two brothers. We loved just jumping straight on the Cleveland way and hiking along the coastal path. We actually enjoyed the daily steps but obviously you can also drive down easily in to the town if walking an issue. Would always look to stay here for future trips!

We had a great time at the house, which was clean and tastefully presented. The views in all directions are fantastic, and walking down the 199 steps into town was really nice. It also helped to be away from the noise of the town on a Saturday night (we were staying with young children). Highly recommend!

What a lovely place to stay! The views were fantastic and we all enjoyed looking out of the windows and on the animals in the grass below and the views of Whitby. The house itself is decorated in a modern style and was lovely and clean. The grounds in which it is, makes the house even more special and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Whitby. Communication with the hosts was fantastic and questions were answered quickly. We’ve had a wonderful family trip!

If you are a fan of Whitby, as I am, then this is the perfect place to stay. Views are amazing from all rooms and the abbey is next door. It's a 5 minute stroll down the steps into town. Beds are comfortable, and bedrooms are spacious. The bathrooms are modern and you have hot water on demand. Plenty of entertainment options from the smart tv, which is a good size, with a good picture. Kitchen has all the amenities you will need for your stay. We had a great few days and I hope to return again.

This cottage is located within the grounds of the Abbey! The views are absolutely amazing from nearly every window. Super clean and if any problems they are dealt with quickly. Hope to be back soon.

We had a lovely stay, the property is in an amazing location and there are gorgeous views of the town and harbour from every window. The property is decorated and furnished to a high standard and we found it very comfortable. The 199 steps to the Abbey may be an issue for the less mobile but we enjoyed the challenge, the Whitby Brewery was very close and was an added bonus. We had to contact the Host & Stay team when we had a slight maintenance issue and they were really helpful and sent someone out the next morning. We did find cooking a main meal quite difficult as there was no large pans and quite a few pieces of the crockery and cutlery were dirty and needed cleaning before we could use them. Overall it was a minor inconvenience and did not affect our holiday, we would definitely stay again.

Firstly, what a location! You arrive wondering how lucky you are to be neighbours with the famous Whitby Abbey!! The cottage is newly renovated, modern but still with so much character & oh so cozy!! The carpets were lush!! Each bedroom well thought of with everything you need for a good nights sleep. Linen, pillows and beds were really comfortable & warm. Loved the walk in shower & plenty of hot water for a bath! Kitchen well equip & the views from every living space is just pure bliss. The horses grazing & galloping in the field overlooking the harbour was my favourite part of the morning with a cuppa coffee sitting in the window sill. Smart TV set up with Sky, Netflix etc a real treat especially with some very cold & wet nights. Ample parking for 2 vehicles. We have stayed in many AirBnBs and I can honestly say, this is definitely one of our favourite. We look forward to returning to Caedmon House next year!

This was one of the best places I’ve stayed. The accommodation was superb, with its modern, apartment living feel. The bedrooms were spacious, as was the shower! Private parking next to the property made life very easy. The hill top location near the abbey, with views of Whitby from every window, was simply amazing. We also all enjoyed the friendly local brewery and cliff top walks just a five minute walk away. Sian at Guest Relations was also really helpful. Can’t recommend this cottage enough!

We’ve had a lovely stay at Caedmon House. Great location next to the Abbey, but please be mindful of the 199 steps down to the town. The house has a modern interior with white crisp bed linen and comfortable beds. The fantastic views from the kitchen and lounge windows looks out over Whitby Harbour and the Sea. We had a fantastic meal at the michelin star fish restaurant ‘Star in the Harbour’ and award winning fish & chip restaurant ‘Trenchers’, both are worth a visit. I would definitely recommend Caedmon House to anyone looking for a stylish modern place in a great location.

What an amazing place to stay! The house was even more beautiful inside all amenities within! The most fantastic views from all windows!! Being in the abbey grounds was such a privilege. Absolutely perfect spot from which to explore Whitby, easy access both driving and walking! We were given very accurate directions to find the property and a video too which was very helpful and thought ful! Information booklet inside told you all about the area, and hosts easy to get in touch with! Absolutely fantastic stay will definately be back!!
