The house is laid out to accommodate a family of 6 and there's also a travel cot. There's plenty of space, young children's books and games making it particularily suitable for young familes. From 2010 we've also added Sky Sports and Variety to the tv!
Sorry, but owing to the number of young people who use the house, we cannot accommodate smokers or pets.

Cliff Street is a narrow little one-way road leading from Flowergate up towards The "Whalebones" and Captain Cook's statue.
It's very convenient for everything.

1 Harbourside - 2 mins walk down the passageways. Here you'll find the famous "Magpie" fish and chip restaurant.
2 Sand beach and pier
3 Baxtergate which has banks and usual high street shops. Large Co-op Supermarket open longer hours is down by the railway station.

THE SUN May 11th 2006
9 Slatebed beach - beneath the abbey cliff - superb for finding fossils at low tide!
P Good family pubs with superb harbour views are The Duke of York and The Board. (There are also excellent Indian and Chinese restaurant/take aways by the station.)
F Our favourite fish and chip shop is also the closest on Silver St!
The railway and bus stations are about 10 minutes walk. (The bus takes about 2 hours direct from York. Trains take hours to get anywhere, but quite often you'll be pulled by a steam engine!)As well as the town attractions, there are lots of other beaches and harbours within a short drive or bus ride. These include Robin Hood's Bay, Runswick Bay, Sandsend, and Staithes. The edge of the North York Moors National Park is visible from the top floor, regular steam trains run from the station and Flamingoland Theme Park is 26 miles away.

DIRECTIONS/PARKING
Like most houses in Whitby there's no parking in the street, but unlike some houses in Whitby, at least there is a street.

PARKING: Pull up to the side of the street and dump all your stuff in the house, then drive on up to the West Cliff area. There is a mix of free street parking and meter parking. If you have to use a meter, it's worth going back early evening and seeing if there's a free place to move the car to. Whitby has so much to offer that most people don't use the car again until the day comes to go home!
Thanks to a regular visitor Jason Shearer for the better quality pictures on this page.
He's obviously got a smarter camera than we have.
