I highly recommend Devereux House for anyone planning a stay in Whitby. The house is exactly as pictured—beautifully presented with top-notch facilities. The balcony bar is a real highlight, offering stunning views over Whitby that made our stay extra special.
Charlie was friendly, responsive, and proactive in all communication. That said, everything was so well-organized and clearly explained that we didn’t need to reach out during our stay.

Enjoyed our stay. Great location, beautiful accommodation. May not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Lovely comfortable beds. Loved the sky Bar, chose to sit in there and as views of Abbey were amazing, didn’t even use the lounge !!! … Had to pay to park as couldn’t find scratch card for permit anywhere, but there is a car park directly behind the building. We have always received a welcome hamper at other AirB&B’s,which is a welcome touch,bit not supplied here.. .otherwise a beautiful property with great views in a central location for everything Whitby has to offer

Well. WHAT an amazing place!! SO well situated, close to lots of coffee shops, pubs, shops but also tucked away enough to feel secluded.
I can’t explain how impressed we were with the property. It was absolutely superb!!! Could have stayed another 3 nights, it really made our trip!
Will absolutely be back!!!

The property is beautiful and ideally located for a stay in Whitby. I highly recommend it for these reasons, but potential guests should be aware of a few issues—our first 24 hours felt like an episode of Fawlty Towers!
Key points:
We had to clean the kitchen, bathroom, and balcony upon arrival.
The provided parking permit was incorrect and initially useless. A replacement was given but had already expired.
The house was extremely cold. The thermostat had a low battery, and after a full day of back-and-forth, maintenance finally arrived at 7 pm to fix low boiler pressure and control settings.
Minimal toilet roll was provided—apparently, it's "self-catering"! I'd have preferred that over the complimentary Prosecco.
Still, to reiterate my opening sentence, it is a stunning property, and overall, the communication and service were very good.

Amazing decor
Comfy beds

The kitchen was well stocked and wow the balcony room at the top is next to none with the views of the abbey.
We will definitely book this place again !!

Location of the property and layout also very quiet

When I arrived at the property found that one of the beds had not been made and used bed linen still on the floor. In both bathrooms dirty towels had not been removed and no clean replacement towels had to wash them ourselves. The kitchen bin was full had not been emptied so not nice smell. The freezer could not be used as it needed defrosting , kitchen floor needed a sweep and old sock found behind radiator.
I contacted Host and Stay to resolve issue including sending photos of what I found but nothing happened if we didn't have washing machine in the property we would have had to purchase towels. For the price I paid and the standard of property displayed in the photos this was not acceptable. This was a surprise trip for my partner and did not get off to a good start.

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.
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.

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.
Parking was slightly challenging, but we used the pay & display next to it for £9.60/day.
Will definitely return and have already recommended Whitby and the house to others.

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!

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.
It is ideally located for exploring Whitby and has lots of amenities near by. The top floor has stunning views.

Pauline

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.

this was our second stay… and disappointed to say that we had issues with obtaining the parking passes both times from host & stay.
either arrived late or for too short for our stay.
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?

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!
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!
Overall we loved the place and already said we’d stay at this one again!

It’s less than a minute’s walk from the Main Street and a few mins from the beach.

Views from the roof top bar to the sea and abbey were amazing - photos really do not do the property justice!
Beds were super comfy and the kitchen was the best we’ve experienced of an Airbnb type - it had everything we needed.
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.

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!

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.

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!
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.
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.
Was supposed to be a memorable stay for special event - but memorable for the wrong reasons unfortunately.

There’s the saying, you get what you pay for, and this is spot on with Deveraux House.
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.
The sky bar is brilliant to ‘Chill’ and soak in the fantastic view across to the sea and abbey.
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.

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).

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.
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.
Overall a grea stay and would highly recommend.

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.
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!!!
