    “The walk up to the front door was treacherous with badly maintained steps, also people should be aware that you cannot drive to the front of the property between 10am and 4pm to unload as baxtergate is closed!”

    The general cleanliness was OK but it was tatty and major issue with the boiler for heating and hot water. The tap on the bath that was already mentioned in a previous review is still broken.

    Thank you for your feedback. Regarding the steps, these are original Whitby stone steps, and like many in the area, we are very limited in what we are permitted to alter due to the historic nature of the surroundings. We do, however, ensure they are kept as safe as possible within those constraints. In relation to vehicle access, our listing clearly states, “Pay and Display car park nearby”. Baxtergate is subject to pedestrianisation restrictions between 10am and 4pm, which is managed by the local authority and unfortunately outside our control. We apologise for the issue with the bath tap. Although it had been reported previously, it has now been fully repaired. The boiler pressure had also dropped, which caused the problem with heating and hot water, and this has also been rectified. We pride ourselves on providing a comfortable stay for all guests, and we are always available to help with any issues during your visit. We appreciate you taking the time to share your comments Property Owner

Offering six guests a central base within strolling distance of all of Whitby's attractions, 47A Baxtergate is the perfect choice for your next break to the North Yorkshire coast.

From the main street, turn into a yard and continue to the end, travelling up some stone steps and along a passageway before coming to the property front door.

Be welcomed into a homely open-plan living space, offering a social space to unwind in when you're not out exploring.

Relax on one of two sofas as you enjoy watching the sleek, wall-mounted TV, or fold out the dining table to gather around for a board game from home.

The sleek white kitchen is equipped with all you need to rustle up tasty dishes, with a breakfast bar to perch at as you tuck into a hearty breakfast setting you up for the day.

A fresh and bright double bedroom complete with an en-suite shower room rests on this first floor, while taking the narrow, steep stairs up to the second-floor grants access to the second attractive double bedroom, a lovely twin room and finally the contemporary bathroom featuring a bath and a separate walk-in shower.

Baxtergate Cottages

Baxtergate Cottages are two long-standing and characterful properties, found right in the heart of Whitby, making a wonderful base for a North Yorkshire beachside break with family or friends. Both accessed from a main street then down a quiet yard, Baxtergate Cottages have the benefit of being both at the centre of the action, as well as feeling tucked away from everything. The larger of the two is 47 Baxtergate, spread over four floors, this impressive townhouse sleeps eight guests and combines a mixture of rustic original and contemporary style, with unique features like the exposed stone walls lighting up, and a historic stone basin and firepit beneath in the ground-floor cloakroom. 47A Baxtergate is more of a duplex apartment, accessed from the first floor after two small flights of stone steps, it sleeps six guests and presents an open-plan living space with all the modern comforts, with a first-floor bedroom, and two further bedrooms found up the narrow, steep staircase reminiscent of the property's past. To access the delights of Whitby, simply step out onto the street and find something around every corner, with a great selection of restaurants all around to sample delicious, freshly caught seafood, along with traditional inns and pubs, and of course the famous Whitby fish and chips! Head down to the shores of Whitby Beach for a day of fun on the sands, with Blue Flag awarded waters to paddle in, fascinating rock pools to explore and brightly coloured beach huts and chalets to hire and admire! Visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum to learn about the famous explorer's life, take the 199 Steps up the commanding and eerie Whitby Abbey, offering fantastic views over the town and out to see, and enjoy being guided through a spooky story at the Dracular Experience explaining the town's connection to Bram Stoker's famous character. Browse the boutique shops and quirky streets, picking up souvenirs and trinkets along the way, or stretch your legs further with a walk along the coast, or better still, venture into the amazing North York Moors National Park for a whirlwind of breath-taking scenery, fresh country air and quaint villages. Secure your stay at Baxtergate Cottages for your next adventure to the Yorkshire coast in Whitby.
