Neighborhood
Littlebeck House is located in the quaint village of Briggswath on the edge of the North York Moors National Park. Lying in the Esk Valley, the village is just three miles from the centre of Whitby so you can reach the bustling seaside town easily. You can also enjoy a relaxing afternoon on the river by hiring a rowing boat or canoe just a short walk away from the property in the village of Ruswarp. If you’d prefer a delicious pub lunch, head to the village of Sleights and visit the Plough Inn which is a short 5-minute drive from the property.

You’ll find narrow, medieval streets dotted with boutiques, pubs and fish restaurants in Whitby. There is also a beautiful, blue flag West Cliff Beach which is lined with idyllic beach huts and seaside arcades. 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’.

Getting Around
Littlebeck House is within a short driving distance of all that Whitby and the surrounding area has to offer.

Ruswarp train station is a 13-minute walk from the property where the Esk Valley line travels between Middlesbrough and Whitby with stops in Danby, Lealholm, Glaisdale and Grosmont along the way.

You can visit other areas surrounding Briggswath easily via bus. Hop on the Arriva 95 bus route which has stops in Lealholm and Whitby.

The open plan living area worked perfectly for us and the back garden was a secure space for our dog. The location was beautiful, and the hot tub was an added bonus.<br/>The house was very well equipped and had everything we needed. The bed on the top floor was really comfy The two doubles on the first floor weren't quite as good, but overall we had a really good stay.

Space, location, good for pets.<br/><br/>Poor cleaning - dirty towel on bathroom floor. No dusting. Dirty oven. Outside area - loose stones everywhere - no equipment to clean with/no spare bin bags. 2 toilet rolls in total in the whole house.<br/>One tiny bar of soap for the whole house, no tea towel, no dishcloth and no sweeping brush or dustpan.

House was great. The company, Host and Stay, were far from great. Very difficult to deal with - conflicting information at every stage of the booking!

Sheena

The house was really lovely , there was plenty of space , enough seating for everyone.The rooms were lovely , beds comfy.Shower gels and soaps were plentiful.Tiolet rolls maybe a little excessive to have individual wrapped rolls in each toilet / bathroom. The location was perfect , really quaint and very peaceful We had a meal at The Stables which is a beautiful place with nice food , we also had a take away from a really tasty Thai place in Whitby.<br/>We went to Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay and loved walking round each one <br/>We had not realised there was a jacuzzi on the property , which looked lovely, but we never had time to take a dip.<br/>Over all would thoroughly recommend this lovely family home <br/>Thank you to the hosts xx<br/><br/>Maybe the grass could have been cut

The house was faultless; spacious and clean, with modern decor throughout. Perfect for our stay, the train station was a 5 minute walk and only a 10 minute journey into Whitby. Would definitely recommend for families/ friends.

The house is in a lovely location and is new and modern with fab decor. The bed linen was clean and fresh.<br/><br/>The property wasn't very clean when we arrived, the garden wasn't in good condition and the grass wasn't cut so we were unable to use this. I requested a high chair at booking but there wasn't one in the property so I called to advise, but was told we wouldn't be getting one for the stay, however, no one had contacted us or replied to say this wasn't possible, so we didn't bring a portable one. We were unable to use the washer as it was full stagnant water and was faulty. There were some other issues too and I sent an email and photos to let the company know so hopefully these issues will have been addressed ad resolved for future users.

On arrival the views were spectacular! The Key safe was very easy to use which we kept using throughout our stay. Beautiful house and extremely spacious. The bedrooms were very cosy, modern and spacious. Kitchen and living area was very spacious and modern. Great surprise with the hot tub which we used when we had the chance. The location was perfect, not far from a lot of places. Overall great stay and a beautiful part of the country!

The house itself is very nice & in a good location.<br/>The bedrooms were minimalist yet sufficient, bathroom was nice, ensuite very good with excellent shower<br/><br/>On arrival everything seemed fine until I checked the kitchen area.<br/>Food debris on dining table, both ovens absolutely filthy inside and out, food Debris in fridge, freezer was so iced up I couldn't open the drawers, it had a bag of opened ice.<br/>There was left over opened dry food in cupboard, the toaster was full of burnt crumbs<br/>The small tables in the living area were so so dusty I could write my name in it<br/>A cupboard under the stairs had a duvet thrown in it along with tins of paint<br/>The garden area was so overgrown we could not use it<br/>The beds were 2 single beds pushed together, not ideal.<br/>The house was listed with a hot tub, which we were unable to use as it had not been safety checked<br/>I complained about the cleanliness, one of the housekeeping managers came out on Saturday afternoon & was appalled by what she saw, very apologetic, cleaned the tables & oven doors & was organising a deep clean for the oven trays etc,<br/>this however did not help us whilst staying there

Perfect location & size for the family gathering we arranged. Loved the open plan living area ? we had a couple of housekeeping issues but nothing we couldn't rectify ourselves & keep Host & Stay informed about with the easy to use messaging service.<br/><br/>The garden wasn't useable, although we weren't expecting to get much use from it in February. It's not enclosed, so that would rule it out for some dog owners!

Becky

Lovely peaceful house near a stream<br/>Pros <br/>Big house,quiet,new build,parking for 2cars, looked like the photos, host&stay really responsive and fixed a shower straight away <br/>Cons<br/>No garden gate, living room doesn’t close so hard to keep dogs down stairs,no cleaning products, no dust pan and brush, very dusty, no door mats at any door was very muddy and wet so had to mop the floor a lot <br/>Would use host&stay again but not this house with a dog

We had a comfy stay in an ideal location for Whitby. The village is a beautiful setting and perfect if you want to get out and explore. We all slept very well. <br/>We felt the cleaning fee was very expensive for the cleanliness of the kitchen.

Great place just outside Whitby <br/>Nice communal dining kitchen lounge good sized bedrooms <br/>100 yards to bus stop

The property was lovely. Modern, well equipped and good quality stylish furniture. <br/>It was also very spacious with a great heating system. Easy to operate.<br/><br/>The property had not been cleaned well at all. <br/>We found dirty crockery in the cupboards with food on. Not been checked. <br/>The carpets were covered in bits and not hoovered. Bits of the sofa, not been hoovered. <br/>The toilet on the first floor had excrement stains under the seat when lifted and all of the furniture had a thick <br/>Layer of dust on it. <br/>The fridge was dirty too. <br/>I had to clean before I unpacked. <br/>The poetry cost £512 which isn’t cheap and I expected it to be spotless as other visitors had commented on. <br/>My son has a dust mite allergy and this clearly didn’t help. <br/>Not sure what the cleaners actually did other than empty the bins. <br/>There was only 2 coat hangers in the property and not enough cupboards in the kitchen to put your own food in.

Greatplace to stay and explore the Yorkshire coast and surrounding areas. location great for whitby with a 5 min drive or even a 45 minute walk

Dominika

22/10/2023

Lovely stay, it had everything we needed, and we’d definitely stay again. <br/>One thing to point out is that that address is slightly different to what I provided by Airbnb, the property is tucked away at the back but this is reflected in the pictures.

Laura-Jo

We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb just outside of Whitby! The location was perfect, and the space was incredibly spacious and modern. It was so peaceful and relaxing, making it ideal for a getaway. My dog loved it too! There were free tea bags, coffee & milk and toiletries, which were a great added bonus! We will definitely be returning. Five stars all the way!

Brian

House was lovely and comfortable. Was a bit concerned as the pictures looked too good but the house matched up to the high quality in the description. Definitely would stay here again. Train station and bus stops near the house so didn’t need to drive much.

We found Littlebeck House to be perfect for our needs. 4 adults and 3 children felt right at home as soon as we entered. It lacked nothing, was clean, and tidy with good attention to detail.<br/>The location is perfect, just minutes away from Whitby. we would highly recommend Littlebeck House.

Margaret

Location was perfect really near whitby and nearby attractions<br/><br/>The garden had quite long grass so was unable to sit out even though the weather was good

Kevin

18/08/2023

Really great place to stay, beautiful home in a fantastic location with plenty of space. <br/>If there was one area to flag it was the lack of fresh milk on arrival but a very minor issue at what was otherwise a thoroughly enjoyable break

Lots of space. Clean.

Nicola Thornham

Great location, house was very spacious, clean and well equipped. Shame there was no gate on the garden as made it difficult to have the back doors open with small children and a dog. Other than that a great stay.

Kitchen dirty and ovens dirty, grass knee high not as described. Dirty laundry dumped in cleaning cupboard .messaged clean and stay abd they had to return. Disappointing shame because house was beautiful

Andrea

03/06/2023

very open and modern space ideal for families<br/><br/>garden a bit disappointing but that is just the design of the builds within the space

Stanley

08/05/2023

We loved staying at this home and it would be perfect for a family holiday. We would stay again if it was just us but since we have a pet I doubt we will ever again. Unfortunately it is not as described i.e. dog friendly. The garden area is not enclosed as stated and our dog could easily run off from it if we had not blocked the pathway down the side of the house. Also the steps from patio to grass are not safe for anything other than a large dog being high and steep. The small grass area was new, therefore extremely sparsely seeded and very muddy, typical newbuild. A shame really as the house was nice but Definitely not dog friendly. ps the room door would not close properly so it was difficult to stop pets from running upstairs, needs sorting.

Everything with Littlebeck House is exactly as described. <br/>Welcoming, well equipped, clean, spacious and modern.<br/>Location is great in a quiet cul de sac in a quiet village yet within 5 miles of whitby center. <br/>Loads of positives, only 3 negatives...<br/>1) for children and safety there really needs a gate along the side of house.<br/>2) the bed in ensuite "attic" bedroom has the hardest most uncomfortable mattresses &<br/>3) the kitchen needs some attention with over half the doors & door fronts loose or hanging off

Lovely location. Ideal for exploring Whitby and surrounding area. Spacious accommodation with everything we needed.

House was very good. However when we arrived we were slightly disappointed about the clean that had been done. Dirty towels still in washer, dirty crockery in cupboards, a bread knife found under the sofa- not ideal with a toddler. However, beds, bathrooms were all good. House itself was very nice. There is no gate on the garden and again with dogs that was not ideal.

Lovely place to stay. We stayed for new year as two families 4 adults, 3 kids an infant and a big bouncy chocolate lab and there’s plenty of room to be comfortable. <br/><br/>Lovely place, couple of minor bits in need of repair but nothing to affect your stay. <br/><br/>Highly recommend.

- Nice place for a weekend getaway<br/>- Host was very proactive with instructions but difficult to locate as the door number was different to what was received in instructions<br/>- Beautiful views<br/>- However, there was pet hair on the carpet, stains on towels and dirty kitchen items. There was also a used plaster in the washing machine<br/>- Good access to internet

Barbara

29/10/2022

The location was excellent and so peaceful and quiet. The interior was well equipped and exceeded my expectations. Everything you could possibly require was provided.<br/><br/>I was led to believe that the property was dog / child secure and that the passage at the side of the house had a lockable gate to prevent / provide access, this was not the case! The passage led to the rear of the property yes, but was open access and therefore the dogs immediately escaped! We had to purchase a fence panel and create a make shift gate to give us peace of mind.

everything about the property was immaculate well furnished and very clean<br/><br/>had no faults at all

Kayleigh

18/09/2022

It had plenty of space and everything that we needed. the location was great too. The open plan downstairs made it a great space for hanging out with family.<br/><br/>My only critique would be that the garden didn’t have a back gate, the path went straight around the property and onto the road so we couldn’t let the dog roam around without supervision. The other slight annoyance was the parking. The neighbouring house parked in one of our spots but since we only had the one car, we didn’t complain about it.

Peggy-anne

04/09/2022

Although a little drive from main Whitby, with a car it was a perfect location and the property was amazing. Absolutely perfect for our group. There was a bus stop at the end of the road and a train station two mins from the property. Parking was perfect. As we all were getting up at different times, it was great to have the fully function kitchen, so we could have breakfast at each of our leisure. Would highly recommend for a family, with the ensuite bathroom, top floor and shared bathroom on the 1st floor, plus the toilet on the ground floor - the facilities were great.<br/><br/>truthfully, it was perfect for our small group and stay. Could not find fault at all - not sure what could be added to improve, it was that great.

29/08/2022

Great house plenty of space gif 7 adults and 2 dogs. We’ll equipped. Great location for visiting some lovely places.<br>A couple of the kitchen cupboard doors need some attention and as the property is dog friendly it really needs a gate on the side to make the garden secure but overall a great place

Recently stayed at Littlebeck House just outside of Whitby. The property was amazing! Clean, comfy and beautifully decorated. Check in/ check out processes were really smooth, with lots of useful info given to us ahead of our stay. Would definitely book again! ??????????

We stayed in Whitby for a family break and relaxation. The property is beautifully furnished with quality bed linen. It was perfect in every way. There is a lovely stream next to the property which was relaxing to listen to. I would highly recommend the property, it did not disappoint! We would love to return sometime. Whitby is beautiful and very quaint and Scarborough is also nice too xx

The property was spacious and very beautiful, clean and nicely designed. Great showers on first and second floors, nice carpets and nice but very small garden (we didn't spend any time there as it was just a little piece of land in the back). Location is nice, we could easily find it and Whitby was a short drive away. <br/>All the utensils have been provided as well as household consumables, which was very convenient. Also the tea, coffee and coffee machine with a complimentary bottle of milk were nice. <br/>Staff responded quickly via text and while there were not able to resolve issues with wifi and parking (someone parked in our spot), it was good to be able to reach to them ( even though I had to go outside to be able to send a text :))<br/><br/>There was no wifi and while we believed it had been there the property customer service messaged me that it wasn't available. Even though router was there and broadband engineer came to visit on our last day of stay. The mobile signal was very weak and didn't work for me personally anywhere in the property. <br/>The bed on the second floor was made of 2 single beds and we found it hard to sleep in it because of the protruding connection in the middle (edges of single mattresses) were very uncomfortable. I hope the owners might put double bed there instead as the room itself is lovely.

Absolutely beautiful property. I stayed with my partner and his family as we had travelled up for a wedding and it was perfect for us. The large living room allowed us all to have a much needed catch up.<br/>The entire property was absolutely stunning, the perfect place too stay for our little trip??

Great accommodation, it was great for our family get together. The place was clean, decor was lovely, spacious lounge and dining areas. <br/><br/>Just a few little tweaks would make it perfect: One being not having WiFi, I just find it very surprising that such a modern house wouldn’t have internet access especially with the house being equipped with big smart TV’s in every bedroom, would’ve been nice to able to access streaming services on evenings. There was a nice garden in the back, some outdoor seating would have made it better. <br/><br/>But all in all, it was a good stay and a great base to explore the East Coast.

Josh

08/05/2022

Fantastic location. Was initially concerned due to previous review however we put a case to block the side passage and supervised the dog. House is brand new, there were a couple of snagging issues, but the host and stay team came out to attend very quickly.

Never have I ever wrote a bad review until this, milk left for us made us sick (3 weeks out of date) Dog friendly?? The back garden is NOT dog friendly as we had to chase our puppy who had escaped (no gate) open access to road! No WiFi! No signal! Showers leaking terrible! Dead flowers! No tea towels in kitchen, I could go on but I doubt anything will be done.
