Fantastic accommodation and situated in the centre of Whitby. The dining room table is huge, which we sat at each night to eat food and play games. The property had everything we required.

The first night, the boiler had to pressure, and we were unable to showered or warm up the house. Luckily, a guy arrived within 2 hours and fixed the problem.

This house was amazing. Had everything our large party required. 9 adults 2 children and 1 dog. The views and location were great. Communication was excellent when we changed the number of our party and early check in. Lots of advice on things to do and places to eat. Would definitely stay again.

The property was clean and very spacious sleeping 12 very comfortably.
Quick helpful responses from the host company, always on hand for any small query.

Really nice place to stay for big groups! Stayed with a group of friends for a birthday and the kitchen was great for a big home cooked meal
In a great location, easily walkable into the town and local tourist attractions
A bit difficult to find and parking was a little awkward but the hosts sent very clear instructions which made life a lot easier
The house was exactly as described and very clean and tidy
Would definitely recommend

Great location in the heart of Whitby. They have clearly upped their game in terms of standards and cleanliness from some of the earlier reviews we read….the house was spotless. Brilliant place to bring together our extended family and create memories together. We had a fabulous time.

The property was very spacious for a large group. Pleasant kitchen and sitting area overlooking the harbour. When the heating eventually worked, the house was warm with plenty of hot water. Beds were comfortable and most of the bathroom facilities were well placed.

Problems with the heating on the first night which was rectified over the phone with an engineer. A large wet area on the carpet in the downstairs bedroom was a nuisance accessing the ensuite and made the room smell damp. Was reported but no-one came to see it. Also a problem with using the shower and the downstairs toilet as both flooded when the facilities upstairs were being used. Not nice! General cleanliness poor especially in the kitchen. Parking was very difficult, on the road only, took a while to get spaces. We were then loathe to use the cars during our stay for that reason.

absolutely nothing. the house was dirty. the bathroom on the top floor was unusable the stench from the sink was disgusting and there was a sign saying that the shower could not be used at all. the microwave was broken. the ironing board was broken. there were broken knives in the kitchen. the beds creaked. there was nowhere to park near the property. there was dust everywhere. the floors were grimy. we had email confirmation that we could have early check in. on the day, they refused access and I had a car full of food that needed putting in the fridge. I raised a complaint, they took weeks to respond. eventually agreed a 20% refund however have still not paid me the money. I visited in August it is now octover. Host and Stay are horrific, do not book any properties with them. they have a call centre in the Philippines.

Very lovely house with is decorated lovely and modern. Easy access via the lock box. Location is perfect, just a minute walk to Whitby town centre. Lovely view of the harbour.

The house was clean on the whole but some dust on stair way, skirting boards and a leaking bathroom in the downstairs en suite.
The kitchen diner is a great area but lacking some utensils and felt that some cleaning products and clothes should have been left.

Location was good , house size was ok for our party of 11

Bedding has grease/ oil on it- took 36 hrs to bring fresh bedding for my young daughter’s bed, night before we left!!
Microwave & oven didn’t work ( both reported but never got looked at or repaired.
Oven was filthy ,house needed a deep clean from top to bottom , dog treats & sweet wrappers left under the bed.
Freezer had previous occupants food left in it !
Rear courtyard total disgrace.
Poor communication from host , booking.com & host & stay.
Asked for full refund only to be offer less than a third !!

Do not book this accommodation unless….. you are on a stag/hen, want dirty/broken kitchen utensils, not enough cups/broken chairs, no toilet roll, or soap on the bathrooms, beds not made, with the most suspect duvets and pillows with stains on them, if you’re okay when you call for assistance that the person cannot understand English, want a tiny fridge with a broken drawer and missing shelf so everything was piled high. If you want to check out at 10am (because the cleaners scheduling is more important than offering a late check out option), the back garden was a health hazard.
Location was amazing.
Genuinely never been anywhere this bad, it looked like the oven trays had hosted 20x greasy bakes, burned the bakes, then allowed to cool and put back in the cupboard. If this sounds right up your street to pay over a grand for two nights. Go ahead.
I complained and was told I didn’t take pictures so they cannot uphold my complaint.

Lots to like about this house, spacious, well located close to town, and it's nicely decorated.
Note, this isn't actually 7 bedrooms & snug, it's 6 bedrooms & snug. There isn't bedding for the snug, so you need to contact the company, who reply fast (& initially tell you you're wrong about the number of bedrooms). Bedding (wrong size) dropped off next day.
There aren't enough remote controls. There are no bath mats, so the floors are often wet. Some appliances don't work. Crockery, cutlery and glasses were not clean. Cutlery, sharp knives, utensils are either really cheap or non existent. There aren't any saucepans, oven dishes etc large enough to cook for 12 people at once, plenty of small ones. There are no oven gloves.
The way the company deals with the security deposit felt very unhelpful. They take the full £250 at the time, as well as a £10 'admin fee', and then take 7 business days to refund. This in itself puts me off ever using the company again.

Spacious, stylish, versatile space. Lots of room for our family and friends to stay. Warm and cosy. No major gripes whatsoever. Would recommend. And within short walking distance of town centre, station and seafront/harbour.

Would like some less bright lights in the kitchen area - again, all very stylish, just was a bit full on. And a few more bin bags would have been great - but again, nothing bad about the property itself. Also some basics like some salt/pepper, oil etc. would have been a help. There was coffee and pods however which was a godsend. The other small issue was parking as it is not always easy to get a space. But we all managed to park ok (despite one ticket for bad parking rather than anything to do with this property!) if not always on the doorstep.

Great house and location spoiled by terrible management company.
On check in we noticed there was only 2 remotes for the 5 different televisions. They promised to provide more remotes and didn’t.
The first night my nieces used the top floor bathroom and afterwards the top floor was flooded with an eggy drain smell. We cleaned the hair trap in the shower which was full of hair and opened the windows which solved the problem. We contacted host and stay and they did offer to send someone round but we had already solved the issue.
The bin outside the front was full of the previous guests rubbish and two bags outside the bin. This attracted rats during the night and was full of flies. Again they promised to empty the bin and didn’t then it was collected on the last day by a private hire company so could have been done at any time.
We paid £225 cleaning charge for 3 nights?
For what exactly?

Keys in lock box, only one for main door though which meant that if some stayed in house they had to keep door unlocked until last people got back, there was 12 of us. Bunch of keys a squash to get in the lock box as well, be better if only main key put in it

Location perfect for us, size of the property etc however it could have been a lot cleaner and one of the double beds broke the first night

The house was very well decorated and maintained. It has a great location and lovely views.
The house was not as equipped and some properties I have stayed in previously, with things such as tea towels, kitchen clothes and bath towels. And we also only seemed to have x2 tv remotes for the whole house. However these are very minor complaints.

The house is in a great location a couple of minutes from the centre of Whitby. The house itself is gorgeous - there's obviously been a lot of effort put into the interiors, it was very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with crockery, utensils etc. However, the ground floor bedroom had a fairly pungent smell of drains which was very unpleasant. Also, the house could have been cleaner - there were places that hadn't been hoovered properly, the fridge was dirty and one of the baths didn't drain as the plug hole was clogged. Parking was also difficult. Overall, a great weekend but definitely some issues that need to be addressed.

Overall pleasant stay that would have been excellent but for the need to wipe down all surfaces when we arrived, empty bins and search (unsuccessfully) for an high chair.
The ground floor bedroom suffers from a strong smell of drains.
Perfect place for a big family stay or for a celebration party

The house was amazing and provided the perfect space for our family gathering. Everything would have been 5 star however the bedroom and the bathroom on the ground floor really let it down, it was a very cosy area but the smell of drains from the bathroom was extremely bad and permeated the whole of the back of the house. I’m afraid I wouldn’t book this house again unless I had full assurance that the issue had been resolved.

A great weekend break was enjoyed by a family group of 12 over 3 generations, particularly as we were blessed by wonderful sunny weather in mid November.
The property is tastefully furnished and decorated and the large kitchen/diner perfect for entertaining. Parking can be a challenge so I would recommend minimising the number of vehicles.

Excellent location for town centre with just one small hill to negotiate and steps to front door. Our party where all over 70 and managed the hill and accommodation steps without and issues.Accommodation very spacious over 4 floors with comfortable furniture and beds. Well equipped with everything you need to make the house a home for your stay with good wifi connections to keep everyone happy.Plenty of bed linen and towels. Communication with host excellent and questions replied to promptly.
My only negative is not being informed before arriving that the shower in the top floor bathroom wasn’t working. Managed to work around problem by sharing other three bathroom showers. If your party can fill the house to capacity it is excellent value. Our party was only 7 adults so worked out a bit expensive compared to hotel bookings but worth it as very easy to walk the 5 mins to the train and stations. Would highly recommend this property to a large party looking for good accommodation that ticks all the boxes.

Bathroom on top floor was unavailable when we arrived but this was resolved on our second day. Main issue was smell of damp/drains in ground floor bedroom, which got worse each day. We did enjoy our stay but would not stay again as would not want to use this bedroom again.

This is a lovely property with plenty of room & furnished to a high standard. It is within easy walking distance of the town & beach. There is parking on the street and although it was very busy when we arrived, we were still able to get parked.

The rooms are set over 5 floors so be prepared for lots of walking up & downstairs.
There was a strong smell of damp in the downstairs bedroom & en-suite so we couldn’t use that bedroom. Fortunately we were able to use one of the other bedrooms so it didn’t affect us too much.
Otherwise, it was a great stay!

We stayed in Whitby for a surprise weekend for my mother’s 60th birthday and we couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate.

Communication from A to Z was simple and quick, with all the relevant information provided at just the right time.

The house is spacious, very clean and super cozy to stay in.
The big cooking/dining area invites for endless nights having a great meal in and drinks at the very spacious dining table.
(Because it is so inviting, we didn’t even get a chance to enjoy the also very comfortable living room 🙈)

The location is superb to explore Whitby, being something like a 5 min walk to the train station and a 10-15 min walk to town.

We can only recommend the place, should you be looking to get together with friends and family in Whitby.

Thanks for having us!

We had a great weekend in Whitby and the house was in a great location and generally had good facilities with plenty of lovely communal space. It was a bit misleading to headline it as 7 bedrooms when it is really 6 plus a small sofa bed. It was also strange to have an outside manhole by the downstairs bedroom inside which gave off a really nasty smell at times.

My family and I were looking for a luxurious, stylish and comfortable stay and Albion House delivered on all three!

The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and spacious, as well as providing useful furniture for storing clothes and personal items. The living room provided a cosy space which easily hosted for a large group to watch tv and movies. The kitchen really was the heart of the house! The large 12 seater dinning table provided a great space for all our meals, with comfortable chairs and lots of space. The kitchen was fully equipped for a large group and we used it for cooking many meals. The breakfast bar provided many seats and stools which made it a social place for meal and snack times!
Overall, Host and Stay were fantastic at communication and responded to all my messages very promptly. They were always keen to help and were super friendly. They made booking this stay really easy.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Albion house and I’m sure all future guests will also! The house has been decorated and accessorised with true class and sophistication. Whitby is also a lovely town and has lots to offer. Thank you for such an incredible stay!
