Lovely home, clean and well laid out. parking not ao good, permit provided although it was hidden in the draws and took some finding. parking with permit was the hard part as at the time you get to check in all parking in w zone is full and remained full for the weekend, had to park else where. the car park next to the house has very bad reviews in getting ticketed when paying online, so had to go further afield. other than the parking the house was perfect

Austen House at Whitby was a home from home stay. Everything that we needed, very spacious, lots of stairs! Grandad bagged the nearest bedroom! Beds were comfy. Gorgeous huge sash windows... we did struggle to have these open in the warm weather as the dog would have probably tried to jump out. We were really panicking over the parking but we got 2 spots straight outside the house. An amazing base to explore Whitby. A walk to Sandsend (or bus!) to visit The Hart pub is a must. As is The Stables just outside Whitby. Crabbing on the pier for the kids! Would definitely return.

Overall we had a great time staying at Austen House! It's really nice and spacious and a good location for being able to walk to lots of places around Whitby. Easy to check in with the keybox too. Parking was a bit tricky on the day we arrived as it was a Saturday and streets quite busy, but most other days during the week we were able to park in the streets nearby using the permits or find some free parking a few streets away.

This is a beautifully appointed house. Lovely high ceilings and big windows. Furnishings very smart and comfy. The basement kitchen diner is a particularly charming room as it has a lot of light for a basement. There were 5 of us over the four bedrooms and we did not feel cramped or short on facilities.

A fantastic house, just a very short walk away from the shops, bars and restaurants of Whitby. Situated on a very quiet side road with parking right outside the front door it was a great place all round. The house itself is across 4 floors so be mindful of that with very young children or those with mobility issues. House well equipped and beds comfortable. Great that dogs are welcome too. Highly recommend.

Austen House was a great place to stay. There were two families with 4 kids in total and it never felt cramped thanks to the abundance of space. Kitchen was excellent, living areas were a restful break, bedrooms were great sizes and the location was perfect for exploring all that Whitby has to offer.

A beautiful house within walking distance to all Whitby has to offer. It was super clean, with everything you would need for a few days away from home. Spacious rooms/kitchen, comfortable beds, three bathrooms, well equipped kitchen. A welcomed touch was the wine, milk and cookies on arrival. The parking permits were great as we literally parked outside the door. I would definitely recommend this place, although you need to be fairly fit as there are lots of stairs!

Great place to stay. Had a fab weekend. The kitchen area is a great space for communal entertainment. The living room similarly is set up really well and 8 people can comfortably hang out together. Few issues including a door that was coming away from its hinges and a towel that had some strange burn marks on it. But overall very high standard of quality and cleanliness. Would stay here again.

We have stayed in and around Whitby at this time of year for the last few years, love the Christmas feel and it’s not too busy. This is the perfect location!!!! The house was cosy and had everything we needed for a fabulous stay. In fact this is the best equipped house we have stayed in. Would absolutely recommend, hopefully we will be back soon.

We had a great stay in Austen House - the location is excellent, so central and lots of parking options nearby too. We had a great time on the beach, eating delicious brunch at Lush Cafe down the road, enjoying the views of the Abbey and making the most of the spacious kitchen/dining area and living room. Everything was comfortable, spacious and ideal for a long weekend with a group of friends.

Lovely house in a central location with great views. Just be aware there's a lot of stairs. Lovely comfortable living room, massive kitchen with everything you could ask for. Only problem we has was the parking permit was downstairs in the kitchen where the coffee and tea were, would have been much better to leave it on the hall table. And I hope the dirty socks have been removed from the chest of drawers in the bedroom!! But would still stay there again.

The property was wonderful. The location was fantastic and this was one of the best properties we have ever stayed in when visiting Whitby. The house was beautifully decorated, with high levels of detail across all areas of the property. There are two pieces of advice that I wish I was aware of before we arrived: firstly if you are visiting in the peak of summer - parking is a nightmare. We had two cars (the house capacity is 8people, so this is not unusual) and we could not find any parking near the property and had to pay in a car park for the first 2 days. There is a public car park close by, however there was also no space in there. We requested a second parking permit, but had to pay additional for this. The other thing to mention is that this property is not completely ‘child-friendly’ there are a number of stairs which is very difficult with toddlers. My son is two and was obsessed with going up and down which made it stressful - this could be eliminated easily with stair-gates which I would definitely recommend. However, apart from the parking and stair-gates - this was a perfect property and we will definitely stay again (when the children are a little older).

We had a great time in the Austen house. It was clean, beds were super comfy, the upstairs shower was lovely and communication with the host was good. Totally recommend it will definitely go back again. Thank you 😊

This house is wonderful for the larger group. The rooms are a great size. The proximity to the beach and esplanade is wonderful. It's only a few minutes walk to most shops and pubs/bars/restaurants. It is uphill on the way back home from the water though so bear that in mind. Our group of 4 adults and 3 teenagers loved it. Communication with the hosts was easy and promptly answered and the amenities and little touches in the house make you feel welcome, cared for and comfortable.

Really lovely house in a great location. Everything to do in Whitby in walking distance. Hard to park 2 cars near the house but permits left for us to use around the area is very helpful. We took dogs that like many only like to do their business on grass. The house only has a small concrete yard so had to take them to a grassy area first and last thing on a night which was only a few metres from the house. Perfect house for families!
