Sheila June 2024

“Stewart House is clean, comfortable, spacious, well equipped and in a great central position.”

We had a family gathering of all ages here and it worked perfectly. The shops, pubs, restaurants are a stone’s throw away and the sites, harbour, jaw bones, Pannett Park are only a stone’s throw away. A beautiful home from home, we all enjoyed our stay, thank you.

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback Sheila. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay x Property Owner
Nigel May 2024

“Staying at Stewart House was very nice and would recommend it to anyone.”

Prefect location for pubs, restaurants, bakery and small shops.We were five couples and there was loads of space in bedrooms,sitting rooms and kitchen/dinner,We would definitely stay again. One small problem if all bedrooms are using the showers at the same time the water on the second floor bedrooms runs slow,but thats been a bit picky…We all really enjoyed our stay.

- Nigel, May 2024

Thank you for the feedback Nigel. I’m really glad you enjoyed your stay. We have never had the feedback about the showers before so thank you for letting me know and I will look into this. We would love to see you again x Property Owner
Jean April 2024

“Beautiful house .”

Very spacious and warm . On the whale bone side of Whitby . Great enclosed courtyard for dog . Close to everything you need and great bakers 1 minute away . Would highly recommend

- Rachel, March 2024

Thank you for your lovely review. I am so happy to see that you enjoyed your stay x Property Owner
Iris March 2024

“What a fabulous property!”

The house is amazing and has everything you could possibly need. The owners have thought of everything and are really helpful and accommodating when answering queries. The house is in a perfect location, 5 min walk from the sea and the centre of Whitby. It has a parking space at the back and the owner leaves parking permits for other cars that you have which you can then park within certain zones. The house is tastefully decorated and we have joked that if we win the lottery we would love to buy it. There is a fabulous bakery just a stones throw away and pubs , shops etc are all just a short stroll away. Highly recommended

- Iris, March 2024

Thank you so much for your lovely review Iris. I am so glad you had such a lovely time xx Property Owner
David November 2023

“Lovely house …but never been to a holiday cottage without salt and pepper and lack of hand wash in some bathrooms/toilets.”

For some reason first floor bedroom rads were not working whilst all others were…and yes they were turned to the highest level. But the house was very clean and comfortable with all the cooking facilities available.we all had a great holiday break

- David, November 2023

Hi David. Thank you for your feedback. I’m so glad you enjoyed your break. In the welcome pack it gives my number for any issues in the property during your stay. I would have gladly arranged for someone to immediately look at the heating if there was an issue. I will speak to our housekeeping team about the hand wash as we have pumps in every bathroom, toilet and in the kitchen. We hope to see you again in the future Property Owner
Sue June 2023

“We had a fantastic relaxing time everything about the house is as described, very comfortable beds and good showers our only issue was the step up to the utility it could be highlighted as one of our party fell up it causing her bruising, also people need to be aware as well as the car space being small the roads around the square are very narrow and can be testing to navigate, after saying all that I would highly recommend Stewart House.”

- Sue, June 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback about the house Sue. I am glad that you all enjoyed it. We do put a note on the advert around the parking as I agree, the roads are very narrow and old wordly around the house. It would be very difficult to highlight the step as its a full size step just like the step leading into the house or up the stairs etc rather than say a threshold bar that sticks up that is unexpected. I appreciate you letting me know though and I do hope the member of your party is ok. We hope to see you again in the future x Property Owner
Vivien May 2023

“Stewart House is well situated and in a good location.”

It has some generous sized rooms and is comfortably furnished. The kitchen is well equipped. The windows have roller blinds which, for me, allowed in too much light. The beds were comfortable but those with wooden frames are creaky. The whole family enjoyed our stay and we would recommend the house.

- Vivien, May 2023

Thank you so much for your feedback Viv. We recently stayed at the house and couldn't hear any creaks in the beds so I am unsure what happened there. The blinds are all black out so they block out as much light as we can. A good nights sleep for guests is very important to us so thank you for your feedback. I am really pleased that you enjoyed your stay x Property Owner
Gemma May 2023

“We absolutely LOVED our stay.”

This is such a wonderful home to stay in. The owners could not have been more accommodating. Location is perfect. Everything in the house is just so welcoming and comfortable. Thank you for helping our family to create so many memories :)

- Gemma, May 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback Gemma. We are so glad we could help you make new family memories. Thank you for letting me know that there was bird poo on one of the windows and this affected your review. Unfortunately, it's nesting season for the Seagulls so we have more bird activity than usual. I have let our window cleaner know. We hope to see you again in the future :) x Property Owner
Lucy May 2023

“There were 12 of us in total that stayed in Stewart house over the bank holiday weekend.”

We LOVED the house. It felt spacious, even though there were so many of us. The house was spotless. Kitchen equipment was great. Big pans, sharp knives - always a plus! Beds were comfy. Great communication with the owners. We’re planning our return trip.

- Lucy, May 2023

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback Lucy. We would love to have you back anytime xx Property Owner

Mary December 2022

“Stewart House is a beautiful property with lots of character set in the cobbled streets of Whitby with interesting independent shops on its doorstep.”

We spent a delightful, cosy Christmas there thanks to the efforts of our wonderful hostess, Esther, who went beyond expectations to make us feel welcome. Would definitely recommend the property.

- Mary, December 2022

Thank you so much for the feedback. We wanted to make Christmas at Stewart House as special as we could xx Property Owner

Jennifer October 2022

“This is a great property, perfect position for access to town and plenty big enough for large families.”

We liked the fact that there were plenty of shower rooms, the beds were comfy and all bedding/towels etc of a very high standard. Overall we could not fault this property and would highly recommend it to anyone.

- Jennifer, October 2022

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback xx Property Owner
Jocelyn October 2022

“This is an amazing house and we all agreed that it was ideal for our cousins’ reunion of 11 people and 2 dogs.”

The decor and furnishings are beautiful and it was very well equipped. Location is very central and it’s only a few minutes walk to the gorgeous beach. We were very lucky with the weather and we did two great walks from the house and even a swim in the sea!! It was most of our party’s first visit to Whitby but we all fell in love with it and we’d certainly like to return (and hopefully stay again in Stewart House.)

- Jocelyn, October 2022

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We would love to see you again xx Property Owner
Julie August 2022

“We immediately felt at home in Stewart House - the welcome booklet exudes warmth and made us feel at ease No detail has been overlooked - from comfortable beds, quality linen and towels, to every possible kitchen utensil (including scales and baking equipment!”

) We cannot recommend highly enough

- Julie, August 2022

Thank you so much for the feedback Julie. We are so happy Stewart House was somewhere you felt at home :) xx Property Owner

“Absolutely fantastic.”

Robert May 2022

“We loved the location didn’t realise only one car from the same property could park on the same street £35.”

00 parking ticket

- Robert, May 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We agree it’s a great spot. Unfortunately, we have as much control around Parking Attendants as we do the Seagulls stealing peoples chips! The parking rules are clearly marked around the area. Whitby isn’t easy for parking due to how popular it is so we feel lucky to have the spot we have and I hope you managed to make use of this. We also send out a very lengthy document explaining all about parking to prepare you for your stay. Thanks again and I will reiterate to future guests to check the parking signs before parking. We hope to see you again in the future x Property Owner
Graham May 2022

“Owner was great, had a fantastic stay.”

- Graham, May 2022

Thank you for the feedback Graham. I am really glad you and your family enjoyed your stay x Property Owner
Clair Ferrante April 2022

“Beautiful house, perfect location parking unfortunately was an issue.”

One space for a small car at the back of property and no space outside the house you had to find parking on neighbouring streets. ( parking discs provided ) Unfortunately it was a very busy weekend and we had to use public car parks for all our 4 cars. We had a very enjoyable stay and the house had all our comforts catered for.

- Clair Ferrante, April 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad you liked the house and location. Unfortunately, parking is always an issue in Whitby through the nicer months. We do explain in the advert that the private space is tight; as it is. We do feel super lucky to even have the space we have as lots of places have nothing at all. I hope the parking doesn’t keep you away for future visits and we appreciate you sharing your views :) x Property Owner
Penny March 2022

“We booked Stewart House for a family gathering.”

..our first in three years. We could not have chosen better. Our group was a mix of adults, children and dogs and we all felt so welcome and comfortable. The house and Whitby were just perfect for us all. Esther had thought of everything, including arrival surprises for humans and dogs! The house is gorgeous and we all wanted to take our beds home! Thank you so much I suspect we'll be back next year too!

- Penny, March 2022

Bed comfort is so important to us so I am so happy to hear that you were comfortable :) Thank you so much for the lovely feedback and we hope to see you again xx Property Owner
Sally March 2022

“We really enjoyed staying in this large comfortable house.”

All the rooms are homely and beautifully decorated and it is in a great spot for exploring Whitby. We would definitely book again for our large group of work colleagues. We liked the atmosphere of the house so much that we stayed in for all our meals, mostly from great local takeaways. On the downside, the lack of parking was a concern until we found street parking spots and used the scratch cards provided in the house. There were plenty of these available for our stay. In the kitchen we felt more tea towels, dishwasher tabs, j cloths and spare bin bags would have been useful and we did find a few sticky spots/door handles in here. Also some logs for the log burner would've been nice. Otherwise, a brilliant venue for our stay in Whitby that we thoroughly enjoyed!

- Sally, March 2022

I am so glad you enjoyed your stay with us :). As a self catering home, we provide a starter pack to make sure you don't have to think about anything whilst getting settled into your stay, the same with the wood burner. We appreciate your feedback and I will let housekeeping know about the points you have mentioned. We hope to welcome you again one day Property Owner
Galen January 2022

“One of the most beautiful houses we’ve stayed in.”

It was exceptionally comfortable and well equip. Perfect place to make memories x

- Galen, January 2022
Michele January 2022

“We had a fabulous stay in fantastic accommodation.”

The owner was really friendly and helpful. Facilities were great with lots of space to socialise. We were a group of 10 adults, but accommodation would be great for 2 or 3 families as there were 2 distinct bedroom areas. A lovely welcome pack. There was also one for my dogs which was a lovely gesture. House is close to the centre of Whitby and all the shops/pubs/beach. Lots of parking scratchcards were also provided so we had no trouble parking 5 cars for the weekend. We couldn't have asked for anything better. Will defnitely be back!

- Michele, January 2022

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We look forward to seeing you again xx Property Owner
R December 2021

“A charming, very spacious house very well located.”

Great for a large group to have a lovely main reception room, a snug and a kitchen/dining/sofa area. Very stylish and comfortable bedrooms.

- R, December 2021

It was a pleasure to welcome you as our first Christmas guests. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay xx Property Owner
David December 2021

“A beautiful house in a perfect location in Whitby.”

The house was super clean on arrival and the owner had left a few bottles of fizz (one in the fridge so we could enjoy one straightaway), biscuits and tea/coffee. The house has many great entertaining spaces and the bedrooms were spacious with luxurious bed linen etc. The communication leading up to the stay was second to none, making sure we felt completely at ease regarding the stay. I have stayed in a lot of holiday houses over the last 20yrs, this has to be one of the best. 100% recommend!!

- David, December 2021

Your feedback means so much to us. Thank you for staying with us and we would love to see you again in the future xx Property Owner

Ian November 2021

“This is a fantastic house, in a great central location for exploring Whitby.”

It was really clean, with everything you need provided, including parking scratch cards. Would highly recommend. We were a family of 10 and there was plenty of space for us all and we all agreed we’d love to stay at the house again.

- Ian, November 2021

Malcolm November 2021

“We were 7 adults and this was our first visit to the property.”

It certainly has a wow factor and the ground floor was well laid out providing more than enough space to relax and eat. Although only one parking space the owners provided us with sufficient scratch cards to park in the neighbourhood streets at no cost and because we were so close to the town we walked everywhere. The bedrooms are excellent and there were no complaints as the beds were comfortable providing a great nights sleep. We were so pleased with the accommodation, it’s proximity to town and the ease of parking, that we plan to return next year. We highly recommend Stewart House.

- Malcolm, November 2021

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We would love to have you back and look forward to seeing you again next time x Property Owner
Catherine November 2021

“Had such a lovely weekend spent with friends and family for a 50th birthday celebration.”

The house was centrally situated for a short walk to Whitby, the owner was most obliging and was in contact with me before we arrived to answer questions and supply extra parking permits. Lovely personal touches left like tea, coffee, biscuits and cakes (even some bottles of fizz) for us to enjoy and was also kind enough to allow us a late check out as the house wasn’t booked on the day we left. This meant we had time to cook breakfast in the well equipped kitchen before our journeys home - lovely to have plenty cutlery and plates glasses etc and good quality cooking equipment. The high quality continues throughout the house for towels and bedding and all bathrooms had toiletries to use. The house is big enough to accommodate a large group without feeling too crowded. Would recommend this accommodation and would love to return. Thanks

- Catherine, November 2021

We are so glad you had such a lovely stay for your special occasion. Thank you so much for the lovely feedback and we would love to see you again x Property Owner
David October 2021

“What an absolute gem of a house.”

There were 10 adults and 2 dogs on this holiday and the accommodation provided everything for everybody. The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, had comfortable beds and plenty of seating for all. All appliances were excellent and it was like being home from home. The location is second to none as you can explore all parts of Whitby on foot. Out of all the houses / cottages we have stayed in, Stewart House is simply the best.

- David, October 2021

It makes us so happy that you have had such a great stay. Thank you so much for the lovely feedback x Property Owner
Tom July 2021

“I don't want to say how good this property is because we want to keep it to ourselves so we can stay again because I am sure that when people know about this property it will be booked up forever.”

We where a family group of 9 people and the property accommodated us brilliantly. The property is spotless with everything you need.The customer service of the owner Esther was second to known. I really really cant recommend this property highly enough.

- Tom, July 2021

As first guests in the house, it is so lovely for us to hear your warm comments. We hope to see you again in the future x Property Owner

Situated just off the main street in Whitby, lies this magnificent Grade II listed Georgian townhouse, Stewart House.

Built in 1760, this townhouse has been lovingly restored and enhanced by the owners, offering a sumptuous base with seven bedrooms over three floors, perfect for those seeking a spectacular Whitby base.

The design of the property is arranged in two sections with separate staircases, perfect for two families or groups of friends.

Enter through the impressive front door, leading into the magnificent hallway with part panelled walls and a period staircase.

Two period sitting rooms are positioned opposite each other, finished with twin sash windows with original window shutters, and one boasting a coal effect gas fire and one with log burner, ideal for those cold winter nights.

Move into the kitchen, amply-equipped with a range of modern appliances, including a NEFF double electric oven and Siemens 900mm hob, sure to inspire some home-cooking.

Serve hearty home-cooked meals in the dining room, which also serves as a delightful seating area where patio doors provide access to the courtyard.

Moving through the property and up the first staircase, there are two superb bedrooms, including a super-king-size and king-size room, oozing Georgian character and luxurious en-suite shower rooms, while continuing to the second floor leads to a beautifully finished twin room with a dedicated shower room.

Climb the second staircase to reveal the second portion of the property; on the first floor lies two double rooms, finished with a traditional décor and served by a modern bathroom, while the second floor hosts two inviting single rooms, enhanced with original, upholstered Georgian beds.

Outside, the townhouse hosts an enclosed courtyard with furniture, perfect for stepping out to enjoy your morning coffee or set the table for some alfresco dining.

Whether you wish to relax or sunbathe, or try your hand at a range of watersports, Whitby Beach is just a short stroll away and offers something for the whole family.

Those history buffs will appreciate the attractions of the town, including Whitby Museum and Whitby Abbey, and the famous 199 Steps all being within walking distance from the doorstep of the abode.

Spot the iconic Whalebone Arch as you tuck into a tasty portion of fish and chips, or head to the village of Robin Hood’s Bay to see the National Trust owned Old Coastguard Station and Robin Hood’s Bay Museum.

Venture you way down the coast, you will reach the charming town of Filey, boasting yet another attractive beach, the Filey Maze and the delightful Glen Gardens, ideal for a relaxing day out.
