Property Details

The Space
Harold Villa is a vibrant and stunning holiday home in the heart of Whitby. The property boasts five ensuite bedrooms that can comfortably accommodate ten guests for a wonderful getaway.

At the beating heart of the home is the kitchen, dining and living room. Dominating the kitchen is the centre island which features beautiful granite worktops. Behind the island is the main kitchen area which offers an oven, hob, fridge and freezer, microwave, toaster and kettle. You’ll also find an abundance of drawers and cupboards for all of the cutlery and dinnerware you could need. Between the kitchen and the main living space is the dining area which has space to sit all guests comfortably.

With a sofa, stylish armchairs, a padded foot stool and flat screen TV, the living area is the ideal place for relaxing evenings. You'll also find two additional living areas at Harold Villa so you'll have plenty of space to unwind. Both luxuriously decorated, these areas are bright and welcoming so you can relax and take in the peace and tranquillity of the property.

Harold Villa boasts five spacious bedrooms. All with comfortable king size beds, you’ll find two bedrooms on the first floor, two on the second floor and one on the third floor. Each bedroom also contains a modern ensuite for added convenience.

A separate family bathroom can be found halfway between the ground floor and first floor. This space boasts a walk-in shower, wash basin and WC.

Head outside and you'll find an enclosed front garden containing a lawned area with an apple tree in the centre. Outdoor furniture is also provided so you can enjoy the fresh sea air during the warmer months.

Neighborhood
Harold Villa sits on the West side of town, off Skinner Street which is popular with tourists. All of Whitby is within walking distance, with multiple cafes, restaurants and bars within a few hundred yards. The Magpie Cafe on the quayside is less than a ten-minute walk down through the quaint old Whitby ginnels, past multiple old fishermen's cottages. Straight up from Skinner street is Whitby West Cliff with views across the sea and access to the blue flag beach below.

Walk over the swing bridge which sits over the River Esk and you’ll find yourself on the East bank. Walk along Church Street and you’ll wind up at the East bank where you’ll find narrow medieval streets dotted with boutiques, pubs and fish restaurants. Climb the famous 199 steps up to the Church of Saint Mary. You can also discover the renowned ruined Whitby Abbey, which was the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s gothic novel ‘Dracula’.

Step outside of Whitby and you’ll uncover a haven of woodland and moorland. Whitby forms part of the North York Moors National Park so it’s the perfect place for long walks.

Getting Around
Harold Villa is located close to the centre of Whitby.

Whitby train station is less than a mile away so villages and towns along the North Yorkshire coast can easily be reached via rail. There’s also a taxi rank in close proximity to the train station.

There are plenty of bus routes throughout Whitby. Hop on the X4 and you can visit beautiful coastal villages like Sandsend, Runswick Bay and Staithes. The X93 travels along the coast to Scarborough. The 95 route features plenty of quaint villages, such as Grosmont and Lealholm.

An immaculate property, loved the attention to detail. Superb comfy beds in good sized bedrooms. A lovely sociable house, it my wife’s 70th birthday and we were there with our kids and grandkids and it worked well for all age groups. We will definitely recommend to family and friends.

Excellent property, very clean and well equipped. Short walk to beach and all facilities of Whitby.<br/><br/>I booked this through booking.com. The terms and conditions outlined were that there would be a £250 cash damage deposit required on arrival and should be reimbursed in full on check out. Host and stay have their own policy which contradicts this, requiring payment of £250 by credit card in advance which is subject to a £10 administration charge. <br/>This was not the booking agreement.

We had a fabulous long weekend in Whitby. The house was perfect for our needs - five couples celebrating a milestone. We’d book again without hesitation!

Harold Villa was exactly as the pictures show. It was clean and well stocked with what we would need. The location of this house is just perfect, everything walkable and easy to find. The house itself took us longer to find initially than expected. This was just because of the layout of Whitby’s roads (we still aren’t sure if they were actually one way but they appeared to be from road markings). Our advice is to enter by travelling along Upgang Lane to crescent Avenue and John street. <br/>Once there, 4 small cars or 3 larger fit on the drive. The lock box was easy to locate and keys easy to use. <br/>In the house was a chest full of children’s toys and a lovely little dolls house (our 2yr old was in her element). There were also some books and games for older children and adults. <br/>Kitchen was well stocked with table-wear for adults and children. Beds clean and comfortable. Some of our group found the birds in the early hours were very loud - bring earplugs. <br/>We had a fab stay!

This is a lovely large property very well located just on the edge of Whitby town centre with the added bonus of onsite parking. The interior is amazing with a conservatory, huge kitchen, lounge and very spacious en-suite bedrooms on each of the 3 floors. The property was spotlessly clean and very thoughtfully presented throughout in terms of the fixtures and fittings. The rental cost is on the high side but if several families shared the costs this would then represent decent value for such a beautiful house

Harold Villa is a beautiful house with 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, 2 lounges, conservatory and a big kitchen. It has everything you would need for a family holiday. Parking for 4 cars and a small garden. Definitely 5 star accommodation in a great location. Would recommend and return in a heartbeat. My two sons booked it for my birthday and our family had a great weekend there.
