Loved the location - the bungalow was very comfy with excellent outdoor space. The view from the patio is fabulous.

No wardrobe in the 2nd bedroom and could use a large mirror in there as well.

Excellent location, drive way/ parking.
If you have a large car,like us,it was tricky.

As soon as we opened the door, the smell hit us, damp dog. It took us nearly the whole week to make the property smell fresh.
The cleaners didn't do a good job, dirt on the work surface, damp & dirty dish cloth & tea towel left under the sink, dirty plates put back in the drawer.
Only 1 black bag & 2 dishwasher tablets, which for a weeks stay is not enough.
Shower downstairs hot/cold settings are very fine, also if you're in the main bedroom, the pump noise is awful.
Take everything, apart from salt/pepper, there is nothing provided.
Main bed very uncomfortable.

Farthings is in a great location in the heart of Whitby. It is very well equipped and very comfortable.

The accommodation inside was spacious and tidy. The kitchen had everything we needed during our stay but the hot water needs a warning notice as I scolded my hand it comes through very quickly, maybe that’s why the sink wasn’t used and the bowl very stained. The lounge area was lovely especially with the decking area through the French doors when the sun was shining in the morning. Outside patio needed a sweep and tidy up but all in all I would return because the location was perfect and communication was excellent. Thanks we enjoyed our stay.

We had a great stay at Farthings. It was close to the centre of Whitby so we were able to leave the car and walk. The house was clean and tidy. A fantastic say. Thank you

Great location - close to centre of Whitby but really quiet little cul-de-sac. Plenty of parking space. Clean house with everything we needed. Would have been 5 stars but we didn't find the beds/mattresses comfortable.

Perfect for our weekend away. Lots of space inside the property and the kitchen is well equipped. There is ample parking for two cars, and once we’d parked up we could easily walk everywhere - the property is so close to the centre, looking down to the train station. We would definitely stay again and for longer next time.

Fantastic location and the parking is a real bonus. The property was bigger than it looked in the photos, very comfortable and loads of space for the four of us. Kitchen was well equipped too

100% would stay here again! Great location right near the centre of Whitby but tucked away so is nice and quiet. The parking driveway was ideal especially cz you usually have to pay for parking in Whitby.
The place was perfect - we had our dog with us too and so garden was great and secure for them as well.
Comfortably fit 4 adults too 🙌

Very clean. Good kitchen items tea coffee etc although brought own. Location good.

On entry the house itself was freezing. It would be nice if a guest is expected that the cleaner/owner puts heating on ready for their welcome.
The shower downstairs was dripping so much that there was a pool of water behind the toilet. Why didn’t the cleaner/owner have this sorted before we arrived? We reported it as soon as we noticed it and a plumber came next day. The call centre didn’t understand our issue I guess it is outsourced to another country? The whole bar has to be replaced so not a minor issue. Once fixed no more water on the floor. Must have been costing owner a fortune in water bill.
Single beds need new mattresses.

Excellent location and great it had parking . Once we had parked up we didn’t move the car again as everything was in walking distance.
Super clean , homely property , lovely and warm.
Would stay again and recommend to others.

The shower needs looking at as it drips - it didn’t cause us a problem - just wanting the landlord to see feedback so they can fix it as wasting water .

Really great location, it's about 3 minutes walk away from Whitby centre, you can even see the Abbey from the living room window. Great to have off street parking too. Just beware, the bedrooms are up some stairs in a converted loft so just be mindful if you're booking a bungalow because you can't get up stairs (wasn't an issue for us). Wouldn't hesitate to recommend

Brilliant location with ample parking for two cars. Great views of the Abbey. Comfortable with a modern kitchen and bathroom. Kitchen well stocked with everything you’d need, although we ate out during our weekend stay. Would stay here again.

Difficult to control the temperature on the radiators, so sometimes they went off even though the room was cool. When we first arrived, the electric kept tripping, rang the agents and they quickly sent out a maintenance guy. No further problems after that. Sofa bed is a bit dated.

Great stay at Farthings lovely spacious, clean bungalow so close to the centre of Whitby and with parking too. As stated in other reviews the WiFi code provide by Host and Stay is incorrect, there is a number missing, if you look on the back of the router in the hall the correct code is on there.
Will definitely return hopefully in the summer when we can make use of the outdoor space and view of the abbey!

We had a fantastic stay at this property in October ‘24. Great location just a couple of minutes walk to the centre. Nice quiet cul-de-sac with private parking for a couple of vehicles. Lots of good recommendations were provided for places to visit and dine. Very spacious lounge/kitchen diner. It seemed everything had been thought through very well as everything was provided even a torch, as its quite dark and on a slope leading up to the house. Didn’t get to enjoy the outside space due to weather but lots of places to sit. Would definitely visit again.

The good: Excellent location for Whitby with dedicated parking at the house. Fresh remodel so the kitchen and bathrooms were great. Nice large flat screens in two rooms. Train station and CO-OP 5 min walk. Booked a three day stay.
The not so good: Upon checking we had no hot water downstairs. (kitchen, bathroom, laundry.) Contacted the non-local corporate host and got a canned "Thank you for reaching out - we've received your message and will get back to you as soon as we can." It took two days before a maintenance person could enter (only after I had to leave my one key in the lock box so they could enter.) and "reset" the hot water heater timer.
The upstairs shower did have a dedicated water heater built in for that so we were able to carry water downstairs to clean dishes for two of the three days.
I am truly hoping that things get sorted at this location as it would be a place I'd like to return to some day.

Not a complaint, but a couple more tea towels would have been appreciated.

Amazing place to stay. Nice and quiet yet walking distance to everything. I felt right at home and very comfortable.
I will definitely book this property or another one of your properties if I am in the area or an area where you have another one.
thank you for making my weekend break so much better .

Superb property, in the perfect location, with great views of the abbey from the decking area.
Parking is very difficult to find in Whitby, which made the generous sized private parking for two cars, at Farthings an absolute godsend.
Very comfortable, well laid out property. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!👍

Good stay, thought price was a little over budget especially with checkin not being until 4pm and check out at 10 mean not even 24 hours in property, but did book last minute, so didn’t mind paying price at the time. Property was really clean, feel the furniture in sitting room could do with an up date, as did not match the more Modern aspects of the house, also thought it smelt a little ‘ old fashioned’. Found double mattress not comfortable as really hard and springy, but just one nights stay so didn’t mind. Really easy check in, hosts amazing, really attentive and communication was great. Over all a good stay.

Fabulous house just a stone's throw for the centre of Whitby. Immaculately clean and very tastefully decorated and furnished. Very spacious and really well equipped with excellent beds, high quality bedding and brilliant showers. The parking is great and the outside space is excellent. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend to friends and family. 5 stars all day long. Many thanks

We booked as a last minute family trip with the dog. the house was clean but we didn't get lockbox instructions from the host company, so we had to message and call twice to sort that.
the house was clean and exactly like pictured and super close to everything! the perfect location.
The second 'living room' had a sofa bed in it so it definitely could accommodate up to 6 people!
The only gripes were that the WiFi code didn't work, but we coped for the one night, and that after you pay everything, you can't actually stay until you pay a hidden damage waiver! I'm not a fan of hidden costs!!
Would definitely stay again for the location though, but with eyes wide open this time!

This is not a bungalow as the two bedrooms are upstairs. The property is also at the top of a very steep road and our 87 year old mum really struggled to get up and down from the road. The beds are old and uncomfortable and the furniture and decor is dated. There seems to be an issue between the owner and neighbours over the height of the decking which means when you exit through the patio doors and look out over to the abbey, there is no alternative but to look out over their garden. We only used the decking area once as we found the neighbours filming us from their bedroom window. When asked why they said they were sick of people looking at their garden. It made us very uncomfortable. The TV Freeview did not work and the WiFi code is incorrect. The only positive about this property is it's close proximity to the town.

A lovely chalet style bungalow in the heart of Whitby just behind the train station, although no noise from trains. Ample car parking for 2 cars. All the amenities you would need in the property. Extremely clean. 2 double bedrooms upstairs, with one being ensuite. A further family bathroom is on the ground floor with a second lounge with a sofa bed to make a 3rd bedroom. Should anyone have mobility issues, there is a steep incline up to the property, although there are handrails to aid mobility. Obviously if you drive all the time, this will not affect you as the parking is directly outside the property. We would highly recommend this property and will be booking again in the near future.
