“Beach House presents a mixed bag, balancing convenience with some notable drawbacks; while each room includes a kitchenette and the location puts guests within walking distance of Whitby's attractions, reports of non-functioning WiFi and inconsistent room maintenance are concerning. In my view, future guests should weigh the benefits of its self-catering facilities against potential service issues.”

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Beach House provides guests with spacious and comfortable accommodations, often featuring a separate bedroom and a well-equipped kitchen area, complete with an oven, hob, microwave, fridge freezer, toaster, and kettle. Many appreciate the convenient location, finding it less than a 10-minute walk into the centre of Whitby and near the Granby Arms pub, as well as close to the sea front and local shops. While some guests have noted the need for a deep clean in the kitchen and bathroom, the cozy lounge area with a little fire and good channelled TV adds to the enjoyable stay.

Comfortable Stay Near the Sea

great location large bed coffee facility

The flat offered a good location near the whale bone. The bed was large , and I appreciated the tea and coffee facilities. The provision of shower gel , soap , and towels was convenient.

I found some coffee stains on bedside cupboards.

Dining

8/10

There are takeaway options available near the apartment , with quick meal solutions. However , I did note sparse equipment in the kitchen , including only one breakfast bowl , which limited some cooking convenience.

Service

9/10

The hotel provided scratch cards for parking , a useful benefit with vehicles. The emergency number offered support with a minor delay , but the staff eventually resolved the issue.

good kitchen separate bedroom bathroom mold bad smell

i loved the spacious one-bedroom apartment! it had a really good kitchen area with plenty of room to cook. the separate bedroom was also a major plus for me.

The cleanliness was a real letdown. I found quite a bit of dirt under the bed it wasn't great. the bathroom also had some mold i found on the walls. there was a bad smell. It really needs addressing!

Location is Fine.

brown liquid sewage smell

The location of the apartment meant it was a short walk to the sea. That was convenient at least.

The cleanliness was, shall we say, not ideal. The walls and door had some questionable brown liquid residue, and the toilet reeked of sewage. I tried to connect to the WiFi, but the password I received just wouldn't work.
