Having read some of the previous reviews we were prepared to feel a bit disappointed…but this house is just beautiful! Every bed is extremely comfortable, quality hotel standard. All bathrooms feel really luxurious, gorgeous complimentary toiletries. Lovely kitchen and lounge area, all immaculate! Kitchen well equipped with everything you could ever need. Quiet location. During our stay we learned that Hoggarth Yard is a development on the site of the old Hoggarth lemonade factory. A lovely holiday in a very well looked after home. Highly recommend.

There is nothing not to like. If there is any comment at all to make here, the kitchen could do with a few more tumbler type glasses, but that’s about it.

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely Whitby accommodation. The space was incredibly roomy, with a comfortable couch and a small outdoor area perfect for relaxing. Everything was spotless, and the beds were very comfortable, ideal after walking all day!
The location struck a great balance: peaceful and tucked away, yet only about a 10-minute walk to the heart of the action, with the waterfront basically outside the front door. There's also a pub and shop conveniently nearby.
Our host was friendly and helpful, even when we couldn’t find the cutlery drawer (entirely our mistake!). The check-in and check-out process was smooth, and thoughtful extras like washing-up liquid and dishwasher tablets were provided, making the stay easier.
We’d definitely stay again! 😊

Arrived to a broken kettle and fishy smell, reported Monday, quick response to messages but slow action - new kettle arrived Wednesday. Beds were comfy. Lack of storage (no draws for clothes) which was a challenge for a weeks stay. Kitchen could do with some more cups/pint glasses etc for a house that sleeps 8. Great location slightly out of town so quiet but with town/pub/restaurants/shops within easy walking distance

We loved this accommodation. It’s perfect for a group stay, we came for a surprise trip for our dad’s Birthday. We all had our own bathrooms per double bedroom and a toilet downstairs. We haven’t found many affordable accommodations that have this. The open plan downstairs made it so we could all spend the evening together. Location was perfect, away from the centre so no noise but just a short walk away. Our son loved playing out in the courtyard, will be perfect in the warmer months to sit out with a drink. We will be back!

There was 8 of us and we all had our own bathrooms or showers. The beds were clean and comfortable. Plenty of seating in the lounge and dining area.

The walls were dirty. There was digdirt left just outside the patio door. The dishwasher didn't work so we had to wash everything again by hand. We found very dirty pans in the cupboards and had to wash everything before we used it. The outdoors seating cushions were left out so we're wet and covered in bird muck.

Great location for a stay in Whitby, easy walk into the town itself along the waterside for the most part.
Modern, three storey, comfortable house, decorated in a contemporary style. Good for couples or family.
We were 7 adults and we could all be accommodated to dine together, but we couldn't all fit together on the sofa (to watch a film, say).
TV all streaming, no traditional terrestrial channels (that we could find).
Good secure, easy access parking for one vehicle.
Would suggest that if you have a longer stay (ours was 3 nights), you are likely to find that bedroom/clothes storage is limited.
Quiet, private courtyard-style area, peaceful surroundings.

The place was not prepared before we got there as it seems like they had new carpet laid in the lounge area and it was not cleaned/hoovered afterwards and all the furniture in the lounge were stacked up on each other so we had to put them back in place, we also hoovered the carpet and the rest of the downstairs area and clean some of the kitchen drawers.
It was disappointing that we had to do all that work after paying all that money for cleaning fee and also after a very long drive to get there.
The house is a nice place and suited our needs but the sloppy cleaning let it down.

I had a really nice stay! The space was perfect, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out and be comfortable. It was exactly what we needed, and everything was clean and well-maintained. I would definitely book again in the future! My only suggestion would be to provide actual cutlery, as the plastic utensils weren't ideal. Otherwise, a great experience!

Great location, and mostly a very comfortable clean property. Subject to the comments below, I’d have no hesitation in recommending it. Just a short walk into Whitby centre, 10 minutes, but far enough out if you like a peaceful night.

Top floor front bedroom is in desperate need of a new mattress. We literally had to put pillows into the dips to get as comfy a nights sleep as we could. This complaint seems to have been raised on many reviews for quite some time, and given most people will have opted to pay the £50 non refundable security deposit, you’d like to think the issue would have been dealt with before now,along with replacing the badly stained lounge carpet. Also would benefit from some cleaning products, washing up sponge etc, and some oven gloves. Property sleeps 8 but not sufficient seating, or parking.

Great place to stay, great location. Only used one bedroom as other family members couldn’t make it. Has everything you’d need.

A few things that could be sorted out. One of the bathrooms had a bit of damage round the bath, the living room carpet could be changed as it has quite a lot of marks. Iron board was broken. But all minor things that didn’t really affect our stay as it was only a place to sleep really.

Good location. Short walk in to the centre of Whitby. Liked the fact that each bedroom had its own bathroom.

Lounge carpet had horrid stains on.
One of the beds had broken springs and couldn’t be slept on.
The baking trays were dirty and very stained - need replacing
I didn’t like the fact that 7 days prior to arrival, Host and Stay try and get more money from you for damages. There was no mention of this when booking.

The location of this property is great, very central only a 10 minute walk into Whitby.
The property is spacious enough we were a group of 6 adults, 2 teenagers and 2 dogs.
All the bedrooms had their own ensuites/bathrooms which is very handy for a big group.

The double mattress in the 4th bedroom on the 2nd floor is awful the springs have gone and the bed sinks in the middle...very uncomfortable (we resorted to sleeping on the sofa) the plumbing/pipework also needs some attention the kichen tap makes a terrible noise and leaks water everytime someone uses the toilet or taps upstairs...plus the hot & cold taps are the wrong way around!! The property only has 1 parking space which if there is a group of you its likely you have more than 1 car and in the Summer months finding anywhere nearby to park is a nightmare. The nearest carpark is 10-15min walk away and costs £9.
Stains on the lounge carpet - a good deep clean would be good.

The location was good.

Where to start ? On arrival it smelt of wet dogs, the living room carpet was absolutely disgusting huge stains, the sofa was stained and stunk of dogs there was dog hair everywhere. The cleaning was terrible , the light shade in the front room had May 24 written in the grime!! In every single bedroom there was evidence of previous occupants , hair scrunchies, sweet wrappers and even a letter warning us about the state of the place left by previous occupants!! ( which if the place had been cleaned we would never have seen it!)
The bedrooms did not have any storage space , just a hanging rail in some and not even that in others . No drawers in bedroom to store clothes lived out of suitcase which we were unable to store in the room. The top room at the front had a mattress that was totally kn@ckered. To the point that I thought there were slats missing in the base, the slats were all there but the mattress had collapsed . There was something wrong with the water supply . If anyone ran water anywhere in the house the kitchen tap would start running and wailing like a fog horn . We reported to owners management firm and were told they would get the carpet deep cleaned and to enjoy our holiday! The thing is looking back over the past reviews the same issues were raised last year and have not been addressed including the stained carpet . An expensive and uncomfortable experience.
I have come back to edit this review as I left out an important issue. When I was booking I asked if there was a cot and high chair available, I was told that they would make that request. Some weeks later I made contact again to confirm the cot and high chair only to be told that they would ask the owner and eventually contacted me to say neither were available at the premises. By this stage it was too late to change the booking as we were arriving in around a week. I asked for a room to be a twin room, again this was agreed but didn't happen. felt like they had our money, just get on with...

Nice house, easy to walk into town. However the downstairs area hadn't been vacuumed. The floors and chairs were full of crumbs and a few dog biscuits and we had to mop down the outside table and chairs too before we could use them. There was a dribble of washing up liquid provided, but no other cleaning products, not even a dustpan or broom. Slightly disappointing, as the cleaning fee was listed as £125. One of the TV remote controls was missing...we reported this immediately and were told it would be sorted out the next day, but nothing happened all week. The house was lovely otherwise and the location was great.

The location was great. Communication was brilliant.
Little touches like tea coffee sugar and milk provided. Toiletries in the bathrooms. Plenty of clean towels.

It’s in desperate need of a thorough deep clean. The oven was dirty, the sofa was grubby and stained, as was the carpet. The bathrooms weren’t cleaned properly. Some of the toilet seats were loose, the tap next to the free standing bath was loose and didn’t really work. The kitchen ceiling needs urgent attention as there must’ve been water damage and has a botched unsightly repair. The smaller bed on the first floor couldn’t be used as the mattress springs are broken. The cords on the blinds in some rooms are broken. The whole place was grubby and needs some tlc.

Really lovely house in a perfect location to wander into Whitby. It was really clean and modern, all the rooms were spacious and the beds were very comfy.
The only thing would be one parking space for a house that can have four or more couples isn’t ideal, as finding spaces away from the property isn’t easy. Obviously this isn’t something the hosts can change but it does need to be thought of when booking if any guests may struggle.

Location and size and comfort

Property didn't appear to have been fully cleaned on arrival - there were some newish stains on the carpets - the last occupants tin foil and crumbs remnants were still in the oven so we didn't use that and floors didn't appear to have been completed - having said that beds were lovely and comfy etc and it may have been an issue as originally my arrival time was 7.00 pm and we then brought that forward - although we did inform the host and had confirmation the property would be ready for 4.00 pm

We liked the location , it was 5 mins walk into the centre of Whitby very convenient. The beds were very comfy , with nice clean bedding. We liked the fact that 3 bedrooms were en suite , there was a downstairs toilet too. The only cooking we did was to make bacon sandwiches on the Saturday and Sunday morning so cant really comment on the cooking side. We had some nice meals out , White Horse and Griffin and Abbey Wharf and visited lots of nice pubs.

There was a terrible smell when we entered the property , smelt like mucky and damp , we opened all windows and doors , think the source of it was the mucky mop and bucket left in kitchen, put it outside and smell went.
The carpets especially the lounge had lots of stains on it , its about 10ft square , would cost a couple of hundred quid to replace. The sofa also had stains on it . The lounge area is not big enough if there are 8 adults , there were 6 of us and it was a squash.
The bedrooms had no drawers or wardrobes, 3 of the bedrooms had a small rail with a few coathangers on them , could have done with a lot more hangars, looked in shops in whitby to buy some but couldnt find any . We think there could have at least been drawers at the sides of the bed. Fortunately we had a spare bedroom so we was able to put our bags etc in there, one of my sons and girlfriends lived out of their bags. We stayed in this house 4/5 years ago and feel it really needs a bit of TLC, perhaps a lick of paint and some deep cleaning. All in all we had a great time in Whitby and would probably stay there again if a few minor improvements are made. If it was my property i think just a few minor adjustments would make it so much better !

It was comfy and well equipped. Lots of bathrooms!

The admin. After booking through booking.com, they have their own booking form and there is a non-returnable £10 admin fee for a returnable deposit or pay a £15 insurance deal. Lots of emails. For a 2 night stay there was 1 dishwasher tablet, and 1 tea towel. No hand towel in the downstairs loo. Hair dryer in my room didn't work. Just seemed too much like hard work to stay there and not particularly welcoming. On day of departure got an email reminding us to go by 10am and saying the cleaner would be round shortly afterwards to check and if we were still there we would be charged extra - really! Have a bit of confidence in your cusomers. We aren't the enemy. I won't be going with this company again - I want to be somewhere for a restful stay.

The house was well presented and clean location was good (no uphill climb to return)😀

Nothing per se, however there was a lack of cutlery which if we had wanted to cook and eat in the house would have been a nuisance.
Also whilst bedrooms were lovely if we had been staying longer than a few days there was no drawer space for unpacking.
Also some pre-existing marks on carpet whilst not an issue meant there was a niggle in case it was thought we made them.

The house was lovely and in an ideal location. The en-suite bedrooms made us feel as though we were in a hotel. The beds were really comfortable and the house warm and cosy.

Car parking was limited for a two car family. Only one parking space but car parks nearby were recommended by the host. The house(s) in the complex were new and space was utilised for accommodation so very little space for parking. It got really busy as tenants were dropping off at the same time.

Unfortunately we feel we paid over the odds as it clearly needs a deep clean and some general maintenance doing. The photos are obviously from when it was brand new and it’s had a lot of hammering over the years and just not been kept on top of. It would be lovely once it’s had a deep clean and the general maintenance such as repainting of the walls, filling off the cracks and remedying of the leak from the kitchen roof lights. The location is great and all the facilities are there. But unfortunately what ruined our stay was that it clearly hadn’t been cleaned properly when we arrived.

perfect location for all within walking distance to main Harbour and all other main points of interest. Albeit the house accommodates up to eight people only one car park space but a public car park within a ten minute walk and is reasonable price for 24 hour parking would certainly recommend this Airbnb and very responsive hosts for all queries

seemed to be moving. parking was a pain, as each property on the site has 1 space but other residents try fitting as many cars in as they can making it difficult to get in & out. Has obviously been used a lot and is now in desperate need of some TLC.

The location was convenient. The downstairs living/ kitchen area provided an excellent social area for our group. The staff responded quickly to our early issues and were very pleasant.

As in previous reviews, the lack of storage in all bedrooms was poor. Bedside cabinets with drawers could have helped. Also, the property could do with a refresh, particularly up the stairs.

Newly built property ideal for a group of friends or extended family visit. Well equipped, modern kitchen and nice open-plan living area. Beds are huge and comfortable, each bedroom has their own bathroom. The whole place was very clean. Good location just 10 minutes walk to the swing bridge in town centre. Great that we could bring our dog along.

Large stains on the lounge area carpet are very noticeable and should be cleaned or carpet replaced. Not a good first impression! There are no drawers or wardrobes in bedrooms. Big bath looks nice but had no plug and the lack of a shower screen makes hard to avoid getting a wet floor. Outside space is limited. Only one parking space (we had 3 cars and found parking up the steep side road, about half a mile away). Not really enough seating for 8 adults in the lounge area, better for up to 6 max. Could have done with extra tea towels and a hand towel in the kitchen.

great location, grateful for the parking spot!

upon entering it stunk! smelt like dogs and was stuffy. needed a good airing and a clean!

couldn’t believe there were breadcrumbs on the floor in the kitchen, on the table and in the cutlery drawer! cutlery was dirty, lipstick marks around one of the glasses and one of the cups, cooked in cheese on the edge of one of the pots.
we had to start our vacation, which was to celebrate my dads 70th birthday, by cleaning the whole house! was appalled by the colour of the water after mopping the kitchen and hall way floor - it was worse than the colour of pond water!
stains on the carpet in the lounge and the cushions smelt of dog!

The accommodation was lovely, spacious and clean. It is situated close to everything that you would want to see in Whitby. Guide was easy to follow and all instructions given were clear and also easy to follow.

The only downside was the parking as you could only have one car but the accommodation can have 8 people stay. That said wasn't too far for 24hr parking.

clean and well equipped it showed no sign of being used extensively by other visitors.
also useful was the abbey car park up the hill for the other cars in our family party.

car park was slightly tight for my Land Rover but not a huge issue.

Our stay at Hoggarth's Retreat was exactly as described in the listing - the house is modern, clean and well equipped with lots of facilities/utensils, and in a great location. The hosts were very accommodating, and were able to provide additional items - high chairs and travel cots - on request. They were easy to contact both before arriving and when we had a question on arrival.

Excellent. Stylish house with lots of space and very centrally located to Whitby’s main town. Each room was superbly designed and had its own bathroom making it feel very private in a group house.
Really enjoyed our stay! Thank you
