Nestled in the seaside town of Whitby on the Yorkshire coast, George House is a spacious holiday home sleeping up to eight guests. The perfect base for families and groups of friends to enjoy a staycation in North Yorkshire, you’ll have full access to the property during your stay which also includes free WiFi, a back yard with outdoor furniture and stunning views across Whitby from the top floor.
The Space
George House has a bright and welcoming living room. With three sofas, two armchairs and a flat screen TV, it’s a great place to unwind with your loved ones after a busy day exploring Whitby and the surrounding area.
Perfectly combining modern and traditional, there is a fully equipped kitchen with an abundance of appliances and cookware so you can prepare meals easily during your stay. Sharing this space is the dining area which includes a square table and stools to seat all guests.
The property has four bedrooms. There are three double bedrooms - one on the first floor and two on the second - while the fourth bedroom, situated on the first floor, features a super-king size bed. Each bed has plush bedding and premium bed linens to ensure you have a great night’s sleep. Please note that one of the beds is zip & link which can be split into two singles upon request.
There is a sofa bed in the front first floor bedroom which converts into a single bed, and, when made up, this would increase the occupancy of George House to nine. There is also a fold-out single bed with a deep sprung mattress on the second floor that can be put up in the Endeavour Room and, when this is made up, the occupancy could be increased to ten.
There are two family bathrooms at George House. One the ground floor you’ll find a shower room, and the first floor bathroom includes a bathtub with overhead shower. Both spaces are complete with WC’s and wash basins.
Outside you’ll find an enclosed backyard with seating where you can enjoy some fresh sea air.

Brilliant location. Short walk into the main town. <br/>Spacious and comfortable bedrooms. <br/>Good communication from hosts. <br/>2 bathrooms was great.<br/><br/>Poor WiFi- could not access smart TV. <br/>Broken blind in the top bedroom.<br/>Family rooms (lounge and kitchen) rather cramped when all wanting to sit together in the evenings. <br/>Upstairs shower sprayed everywhere.<br/>Parking could be an issue if no spaces are left on the road - we were lucky!!

Lovely house great for what we needed<br/><br/>The top of the stars bends and the steps are very narrow this led to my father who is not steady on his feet in a morning falling down them and breaking a toe

Good location and house had everything you needed, had some lovely goodies left for our arrival. Bedrooms nice and big.<br/><br/>Found glass on the lounge floor, looked like it was under the rug but when that moved it dislodged the glass.

Absolutely loved our stay here! Was easy enough to get to. Parking spaces across the road. Just across from the George House is the Hospital and the Police station. Which is very useful if needed. The house has all you need. The rooms are all clean and spacious for a family or group of friends, but also like ourselves as a couple. Lots of things to see and do. Local CoOp just down the road. Just a 5 minute walk to the harbour from the George House. Lots of pubs and restaurants. We will definitely be visiting again!

Just spent Christmas in Whitby with family and friends and had a great time. We stayed at the George, it was easy to find and because everything we needed was within walking distance we were able to park up and forget the car for the whole of the stay. Once inside we quickly found a large yet cosy house a true home away from home and despite the stormy weather it was warm and comfortable. We cooked our own Christmas dinner and the kitchen was more than adequate for this with a large enough table to get everyone round. For my first time away over Christmas this was a lovely stay and we all said we would go back again. Thanks for the stay it was great

The house was close to the centre, but in a quiet area. Check in instructions were easy to follow and the beds were very comfortable. The heating was easy to control. <br/>I booked this property for 8 people based on the location and bedroom layouts I.e. some single beds in the rooms, however, the property was sold after I’d paid the deposit and and the new owners had changed the bedroom layout. This caused some dissatisfaction with a couple of the guests and so we had to take a camp-bed and floor mattress. The Wi-Fi router was not working, I contacted the mobile number I had been sent and communicated by text with someone called Charlie. I asked for someone to phone me, but this didn’t happen, I was just advised that the problem would be reported to the maintenance team, so we had no Wi-Fi all weekend, which all 8 guests were not happy about. There was a dangling extension lead in the living room connected to other plug. Only 4 toilet rolls, for 8 people for 4 nights so had to buy more.
