Nestled on the West Cliff, you’ll find fun arcades and you’ll be able to sample the catch of the day in one of Whitby’s famous fish restaurants which line Pier Road. The Blue Flag West Cliff beach and promenade is just a short 5-minute walk from the property so you can really make the most of your coastal escape.
The other side of Whitby is full of narrow, mediaeval streets dotted with boutiques and pubs. 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
Devereux House is located in the centre of Whitby so the town can easily be explored on foot.
Whitby train station is just a short 10-minute walk 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.

The whole house felt pristine and well cared for. Each room was stunning and the view from the balcony was something I could not get enough off and often found myself going back there time and time again. If you are in Whitby I would definitely recommend staying here.

An immensely beautiful house, with strikingly picturesque views from the balcony. The house as a whole felt incredibly comfortable for a group of friends to take a short break from the city. The house simultaneously served as a high end hotel in a prime location, whilst also providing the isolation and amenities of a private villa. I’d highly recommend this house for any similarly minded young professionals to relax amongst friends in beautiful town

A gorgeous house in a really convenient location. The views from the rooftop bar are stunning. The property has been decorated to a high standard throughout, beds were comfortable. Lots of information provided beforehand about the property. You will have everything you need to self cater.<br/>The only real issue was parking, we ended up using a nearby pay and display at an extra charge of £9.60 per day as there was nothing else available. Also, appreciated the bottle of prosecco but really feel for the price point of £325 per night a welcome pack should be provided of at least some basics like milk and bread.

Beautiful decor and rooftop bar conservatory!<br/><br/>Nothing, it was exceptional!

Amazing house, great location, walkable to town and the waterfront. The venue from the rooftop bar was stunning, never tired of it. Ice machine in the top bar was a nice touch as was the history of the house in the book. The bottle of Prosecco on arrival was most appreciated. <br/>Parking was slightly challenging, but we used the pay & display next to it for £9.60/day.<br/>Will definitely return and have already recommended Whitby and the house to others.

What a fabulous, beautifully finished house it is, and we loved our stay. If you don't like stairs, then it may not be for you, but what the vertical arrangement does give you, is a wonderful top floor with comfy seating, a bar area (with fridge, ice maker and kettle!) huge opening glass doors, small terrace area, and all that with the most amazing views across Whitby to the Abbey. We were lucky with the weather, and what an awesome place it was to while away a few hours and totally relax. The house was really clean, and we understand it had recently been refurbished. Everything was immaculate and oozed that luxury feel. The kitchen is really well equipped and I also have to mention the en-suite shower that was perfect to freshen up in after a nice long cliff top or beach walk.

Loved the house, beautifully furnished. Stunning views. Great location, central with nearby parking. New bathrooms with great showers. Very comfortable. Highly recommend. Will definitely return.

The house was just as per the pictures - decor in good condition and clean throughout. The rooftop room was amazing - great views and its comfortable on cool days or sunny days with the wide opening doors. Also a little fridge to keep a few drinks up there is ideal! Comfy bedroom with good ensuite bathroom. The kitchen was well equipped with all the things we needed, although we only ate in a couple of times as there are so many great places to eat within a short walk of the house. Although it is is a really convenient location and close to the centre of things, it remains relatively quiet and we had no trouble with noise at night. There's a nice luxurious air to the house, but it also feels comfortable to be in. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely place to stay in Whitby.

A beautifully appointed house with everything you could need in a great location right in the centre of Whitby. Only a few minutes walk to the harbour and beaches. You can also walk from the house along the coast in either direction. The views from the bar at the top are great and you can see right across to the Abbey. The bar was also a lovely oasis of calm in which to relax at the end of a busy day. Everything was top of the range including a fully equipped kitchen with everything you would need. The bottle of Prosecco on arrival was a lovely touch too. Would definitely recommend staying here and will come back again soon.

Great centrally located accommodation. Very clean and very comfortable beds.<br/>Wonderful view of the Abbey.<br/>Management company quick to try and sort a problem we had.

Great property in a fantastic location! Lots of stairs though so would not recommend for people with walking difficulties, although my 85 year old mother was staying with us and able to navigate the stairs slowly and carefully without problems and despite having two hip replacements! The parking in the area was also difficult but to be expected as it is so centrally located. What you can't beat is the quality of the overall home and the views from the roof over Whitby, which were stunning. Great communications by the team responsible for the property too. Would highly recommend!

All great…lovely location and beautiful house with wonderful views. <br/>Decor excellent and beds super comfortable.<br/>Would recommend to most people visiting the area. <br/>Lots of stairs so probably not the best for elderly or v young children. <br/>Furniture in bar room not very comfortable which is a shame as the view was so nice!!!!<br/>Recommended.

I liked everything , ... thank you<br/><br/>just a minor thing . there was no towel in the downstairs toilet. It would be nice to have a full length mirror next to the exit .

Dirty roof leaked all over the bedroom stairs asked for help needed clean bedding my son and daughter had to go home couldn’t sleep in the bedroom!!! All promised never happened after several calls, messages , they promised !!!! Nothing such a shame as it has beautiful place if it was looked after properly,

Amazing weekend in a beautiful house. Nice touch with bottle of Prosecco & Rooftop bar was fab and had a fridge and ice machine as well as a music system. Amazing views and 5 min walk into Whitby. The only thing I would point out is that although the house was very tidy & clean it was very dusty everywhere which was a shame. 1st night we all ate at abbey wharf and were lucky to get table on terrace with a view. The Whitby Deli was just around the corner and great. The brewery is lovely to sit and have a beer overlooking the abbey. Cosa Nostra did great Italian food and pizza west was really good to with a unique menu and salted caramel expressos to die for. Moon and sixpence is also a lovely cocktail bar especially if you can get a table outside. Lovely shops in the lanes on way to 199 steps. Robin hoods bay definitely worth a visit too. All in all would recommend but cleaners need to up their game. Would go back. Had a great weekend

Had a wonderful 3 night break. The property has been beautifully decorated and is laid out over 5 floors. <br/>It is ideally located for exploring Whitby and has lots of amenities near by. The top floor has stunning views.
Pauline
28/06/2023
Well positioned with two excellent outdoor spaces, lots of thought gone into everything and tastefully decorated throughout. Ideal for grown-ups; one room on each floor and six flights of stairs and no cot or chair provision make it less so for small children. Challenging parking, compounded by need for permits that arrived at the eleventh hour. Despite this “glitch in the system” (host’s explanation) can recommend the property as being in first-class location and a delight to inhabit. The top floor cocktail bar with glass wall and view across to the abbey is unsurpassable.
Dave

great view, large space, well decorated, quiet, attention to detail.<br/><br/>Stairs, but I knew they would be there.

Beautiful place to stay, particularly enjoyed the top floor terrace! Convenient location to the main attractions in Whitby!
Richard
12/06/2023
location excellent central, terrace bar and views excellent.<br/><br/>this was our second stay… and disappointed to say that we had issues with obtaining the parking passes both times from host & stay. <br/>either arrived late or for too short for our stay. <br/>also for nearly £900 for the weekend we were shocked that no soap provided for the bathrooms & no welcome pack except bottle of Prosecco… seemed a little mean?
Andrew

A beautiful property that exactly matched the description. Really well designed and furnished with an amazing view of Whitby Abbey and the sea from the ‘Chill’ room and it’s balcony. One of the best properties we have ever stayed in.
Adam

Fantastic place to stay, beautifully appointed and excellent location. Only danger is with the view from the top floor decking, you may never go out!
Melissa

Ann

close to centre of Whitby. Fantastic views from bar at top. Lovely balcony at top and pleasant little yard on ground floor. very clean throughout with beautiful kitchen/diner. We all loved the decor throughout this property<br/><br/>Set over 5 floors so stairs may be tricky for some but we found this fun!

Samuel
24/03/2023
Perfect place! Clean, fresh, and modern. Great location right in the middle of town, around the corner from some nice pubs, cafes, and Botham’s famous bakery. Also, that view overlooking Whitby from the top floor is incredible!<br/>The place is spread throughout 5 floors, which was kind of fun and worked well to get the views, but my 80 year old parents had a bit of a hard time with all the stairs. Just something to keep in mind if you also struggle with lots of stairs, etc. Though if you can handle those 199 abbey stairs and all the hills in Whitby, maybe you’d be ok!<br/>Overall we loved the place and already said we’d stay at this one again!
Linda

A marvellous few days away with the family. We really enjoyed hanging out on the roof terrace in the cosy warm and the house was a great base to get out exploring from and a pleasure to come back to.

It’s a beautiful house with great location and stunning views.<br/>The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable to sleep in.<br/>The kitchen/ dining area and the terrace bar were the highlights- fully equipped and modern.<br/>The bathrooms were clean and the shower pressure is great!<br/>It’s less than a minute’s walk from the Main Street and a few mins from the beach.<br/>We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

great location, house lovely<br/><br/>Not about the property but the number of e mails received from Host & Stay, which were then duplicated by Booking.com

A beautiful renovation would be ideal for two couples. The rooftop room and terrace has a fantastic view over Whitby to the Abbey. Would definitely look for same house next time in Whitby
Simone
27/01/2023
Views from the roof top bar to the sea and abbey were amazing - photos really do not do the property justice! <br/>Beds were super comfy and the kitchen was the best we’ve experienced of an Airbnb type - it had everything we needed. <br/>Host & Stay communicated well throughout our stay and they kindly allowed our greyhound/ whippet cross to stay and provided parking scratch cards which allowed us to park on Back St Hilda Terrace. We would not hesitate to rebook if visiting the area again.<br/><br/>Only thing to note was that we were charged a £60 cleaning fee as part of the total costs but when we arrived the sofas were covered in sand and the light switches, side tables, lamps etc throughout the house were all dusty but that was literally our only mini grumble and didn’t dent our holiday in anyway!

a really lovely place to stay
Andrew

This place really stood out when I was looking for a place to stay in Whitby, and for good reason. The 'sky bar' is a wonderful place to sit and gaze at the sea and the view of the abbey, glass of wine in hand! I wanted a place where we could be happy indoors if the January weather was naff, and so we were very content on one of our days to chill around Devereux House without even stepping outside. On the sunnier days, though, we did venture out and the delights of Whitby were just a few minutes' stroll away; the immediate neighbourhood was peaceful. Each room felt generous and luxurious; as guests, we felt cared for. Wish we could have stayed longer. Sure, it wasn't our cheapest booking, but we got what we paid for. And on another note, I can heartily recommend Whitby in January - I'm used to it being so busy in warmer months, but it was fab (for us) to stroll around quieter streets. Thank you.

What a fabulous house, had a wonderful 2 night stay with friends. Top floor bar was amazing, the view was well worth the stairs. Right in the centre. Will definitely be returning.
Simon
31/12/2022
Fantastic place and in an ideal world worth the premium price, the location is ideal and the rooms are all amazing - the rooftop bar is something else! <br/>But - the kitchen tap was not fixed to the worktop making it almost impossible to use and the separate freezer was unusable being almost entirely full of ice - literally! Then there was the broken glass left on the floor in the roof bar that our dog picked up - luckily I was there and managed to deal with it before there as an incident. 12 days later I'm still waiting for a response to this issue.<br/>Quick to to take your money - not so quick to carry out necessary maintenance or indeed clean adequately for the £60 cleaning fee - broken glass on the floor and plenty of dust on lampshades etc.<br/>Was supposed to be a memorable stay for special event - but memorable for the wrong reasons unfortunately.

Stunning place in the perfect location. The view of the Abbey from the top floor was even better than in the photos! We were a bit put off by the £250 deposit, but it was refunded in full in a very timely manner.

Amazing property in perfect location. Hope to be able to visit again soon, the roof top terrace would come into its own in summer. Really beautiful place.
Alison

Beautiful house, looks exactly like the pictures. <br/>Attic bar has stunning views and a bonus having a wine fridge, kettle and running water.<br/>You must be happy with stairs as its a long way up, but well worth it.<br/>Neighbourhood was very peaceful but you are with walking distance of all the sights.

Fantastic place, couldn't be more central, and great views of the Abbey from the top floor.

There’s the saying, you get what you pay for, and this is spot on with Deveraux House.<br/>The location is right in the heart of the town and the property is first class. Every room is decorated to a very high standard.<br/>The sky bar is brilliant to ‘Chill’ and soak in the fantastic view across to the sea and abbey.<br/>Yes it cost a little more but wow is it worth it !!!!!!

Beautifully presented and nice space to be in, the roof terrace is a great asset and making a lovely place to have an evening drink. Kitchen well equipped.<br/><br/>It would have been useful to have a clothes airer to dry clothes on, once you have used the washing machine. The cleaners need to pay attention to small detail. The bedside cabinets had coffee marks on and the bathroom floor wasn't clean on arrival (top floor bedroom).

Just returned from a fabulous weekend. The house if anything is better than the pictures suggest. Both bedrooms were large and clean. Great location too. Thank you so much, would definitely like to return.
Emma
19/08/2022
Beautifully presented home over 5 floors. Beds very comfortable, rooms clean. The views from the top were amazing. Communication was fast and helpful. It’s a great location for the town without being too loud. Only thing we would appreciate would be two sets of keys as the type of door needs to be locked when someone is out meaning at times I was locked in upstairs otherwise anyone could get in. It’s not very accessible for those with mobility issues so I wouldn’t recommend it if you struggle with stairs. We were very happy staying and would love to visit again.

Deveraux house is spectacular especially the roof top bar space with open bifold doors with amazing views over roof tops to the abbey. Set over five floors, we spent most of our time at the top which had comfortable furniture, fridge for drinks and an ice machine.<br/>The kitchen on the ground floor was well equipped with all you need plus washing machine. The lounge decor and furnishings was stunning, as were the two bedrooms with queen size beds, walk in robes and ensuites.<br/>Overall a grea stay and would highly recommend.
Kath
12/06/2022
The house is stunning, really beautiful. However the best part is the location, in a really nice part of Whitby close to wine bars and delis and the beach. <br/>The stairs do get a bit tiresome as we were constantly up and down but the view from the top is well worth it (and we had to carry our old dog!). Loved it...will be back!!!

This was a fantastic, well-equipped house. The sky bar was a particular hit with everyone and made the stay a great experience. We were the first to stay in the house so there were a couple of teething issues but communication with the host was good and we resolved them easily.

Home Truths
You'll have plenty of space during your stay as Devereux House is spread across five floors and the living room is located on the first floor. The townhouse doesn't have a lift so you will need to climb stairs during your stay.
Free parking is provided for one vehicle but this will be a few moments from the property.
Please note Devereux House only accepts one small dog per stay.
