Clarence Place

Location Very unclean, un accommodation host(check in time due to clean but the property was dirty), front door handle hanging off and curtains paper thin. No wood offered for the wood burner fires and no explaination on how to use them if we bought our own.

On arriving door handle hanging off with door very stiff , obviously been like that for a while . Dog friendly yet the patio gate wouldn’t close so had to barricade the exit . The overall lighting and plug sockets are terrible . Bedrooms and kitchen especially, had to get a torch on to see as we were cooking breakfast . The pans had dried food in them , no essentials like bin bags or foil . We took logs for the fire as it was Christmas thought it would be nice as none supplied . The host told us to bring our own which we did . However burner is that small any wood over 6 inches else long would not fit . There are old rugs in lounge and bedroom that are bent up which we had to move as kept tripping . The mattress in the front bedroom was years old and not comfy . Furniture was dated , shower door had broken off and replaced with a curtain . There was a dab radio yet was useless as had no batteries in. Clocks didn’t work. Flimsy Yale lock on back door, pipes tick loudly. I could go on…

Really enjoyed staying at this place, it was the perfect location with Whitby right on your door step to explore! The house itself was a really nice spacious layout and it came equipped with everything we needed. We wanted to extend by one day as we were having such a great time but understandably it had already been booked out! All in a great choice to stay to explore Whitby and the surrounding areas!

This was a suitable place for us to stay to spend a weekend in Whitby. The bed was very comfortable, the house was warm, and we had most things we needed. However we visited during the storm and as such the amenities were not really great for staying in unexpectedly. Be aware there is no smart tv (first time we’ve had this in all our years of air bnb travel) so we could only watch terrestrial tv. Which wasn’t a great selection after being shut in by the storm. The second thing is the house is hard to find as it’s not on a road but on a narrow lane off to the side of the main old town. Quite hard to locate in dark and eventually found it on foot out of the car. But other than those issues we had a pleasant stay.

The house was cosy and comfortable and had lots of character. It was very clean and well furnished. Bedrooms were comfy and cosy. It was superbly located and the car parking pass was very much appreciated. Thank you to the hosts who communicated very clearly throughout.

Ideal location in whitby not sure if suitable for young children due to layout at top of stairs. Pic attached. Comfortable beds, kitchen well equipped. Fresh milk in fridge a lovely touch. Would have liked some fuel to light a fire but wasn't a major issue. Will stay again A light on outside steps would be helpful Steps at top of stairs.

Lovely place, would stay again.

Lovely place to stay, ideal location for sea front and town. Lovely bars down the road. All the facilities we needed for a short stay were available. Lovely house and decorated lovely. As we had dogs and its dog friendly property it was perfect. Would maybe benefit from a small patch of fake grass in back yard as our pooches are funny with toileting on concrete and we didn’t want to venture out late at night. Other than that we appreciated the dog bowls and snacks for us! The only major issue is the parking- difficult to find a space at busy times especially with it being a weekend when we were there. The streets surrounding the property are very narrow. Difficult when picking up and dropping off luggage and dog beds and dogs etc. all in all a lovely weekend!

The house was clean but needed decorating. Road to house really narrow. Parking on nearby road was fine with permit supplied . Great location for the town . Whitby was amazing as were all the places we visited.

Good property which is accurate to description. Great location, very central but quiet, dropping off items outside a bit tricky. Annoyingly had to pay insurance which seemed ridiculous for mismatched glasses etc - I really hate these hidden costs and having to provide payment details to 3rd party.

Location was good but parking was horrendous even with parking cardt The worst thing was parking we had to walk quite away to walk with our luggage .stairs were a bit scary

This place was more spacious than i expected and was perfect for 4 adults and 2 children. Great location. We had a great time

There was no parking at the property but a parking permit was supplied. The property was nice and spacious and had all we needed.

Dealing with this host was a soulless, corporate experience. The host claimed to be a family, but all our communication was with a robotic, uncaring corporate interface. I asked if there could be slight flexibility on the (very late) check in time of 4pm, because my baby needed to nap, and it was very much a "computer says no" response. We also got hit with a last minute fee before we could get our check in details, which was pretty stressful when we'd been travelling all day. Not allowing us to check in until 4pm but wanting us out by 10am made this a bad deal. There was absolutely zero generosity, warmth or hospitality in this experience. A real shame.

Clarence Place is right at the heart of Whitby. Which is nice for quick access to shops and the sea front, but also means you're in seagull central, which, as a land-lubber, I found wearing after a couple of disturbed nights! The house itself was spacious and nicely appointed, if quirky and creaky. The tiny garden would have been good for my dog, but the back wall is broken, so he had to stay inside. Aside from that, my only criticism would be the wobbly toilet seat! ... Although, that's to ignore the big downside of this place: parking. If you can beat the local residents to that elusive spot somewhere in the W Zone, you have to hope it's not under a lamppost (seagulls). And don't forget to put your number plate on the parking permit on arrival or you'll land a ticket... grumble. Imperfect though it is, Clarence Place was a very homely base for a week in beautiful North Yorkshire.

Absolutely lovely couple of days. House has plenty of character and is very clean. Lovely and spacious too! First time in Whitby and the location of the property is fantastic, so much to see and do on your door step. Would recommend bringing only one car as Whitby is quite tight on parking and we found it easier to park on the bigger roads away from the property as a heads up. Would recommend!!

Lovely stay with friends. Perfect location for both the beach and the old town, whilst being peaceful and slightly away from the crowds.

I stayed here with my dad and brother for 4 nights. I found the home comfortable, well located and I liked the range of interesting books that where in each room. This would be an ideal place to stay with family and we liked that you could sit outside the front and the back of the house depending on where the sun is. Whitby is a wonderful place to visit and we loved that there is so much to do within walking distance. We where very blessed with the weather and hope to visit Whitby again.

Great stay. Thanks.

Perfectly located in the heart of town with a host of coffee shops and eateries, mostly dog friendly. The accommodation was comfortable and the shower and bath lovely, which was appreciated as we had biblical weather and cold and needed to warm up. Beds cosy and parking, once we worked it out available close by. We loved the pop up pubs and the walks around Whitby gorgeous. The abbey had a gd view but is extortionate for a family, and the museum not worth it.

Great house with good features, and all amenities. Excellent quiet location. Great to find coffee, tea, milk, biscuits supplied. Only request is, provide kitchen roll, and cleaning spray with cloth to wipe surfaces. Slight issue, only slight, but Difficult for take away delivery as very limited car access. Overall superb find in a busy town?

Mysigt inrett, trevligt läge. Saknade en skärbräda! Så fina arbetsytor som vi inte ville förstöra.

great sort break away. lovely property.
