WONDERFUL IN EVERY WAY!

We cannot express how wonderful our stay here was! Beautiful property inside and out! It was so quaint, quiet, meticulously clean throughout, beautiful views, updated appliances, dinnerware, cooking implements and very spacious bedrooms and bathrooms! We felt right at home in Dunsley! Communication with the host was timely and so very kind! The location is superb and the views are breathtaking! We hope to be back for a longer stay in the future! Thank you so much for everything!

Dursley Chapel

Idyllic location, the chapel was great, a superb place for the family. However a lack of basics, soap, washing liquid and shower get made the 3 mile trip to Whitby essential and the first thing we did. Plenty towels supplied and neatly on beds but only one dish towel. There was a random feeling about the crockery and cutlery. Plenty of it but all mixed and unclear how many of each. So a fantastic property and location. The setup could be more professional but I’d book it again for the same family group, they all loved it.

A lovely property in a great location, very peaceful but close to Sandsend and Whitby. We are a family of 6 adults and 3 children (3 generations) and we all enjoyed our stay. Lots of kitchenware and plenty of seating for us to eat together and relax on sofas. The local roads are very narrow and not pedestrian friendly so I’d recommend driving the short distance to the beach. 4 stars given due to the shower upstairs and in the en suite being very difficult to switch off- they need attention. Also most importantly the twin room downstairs had a pungent cat smell which luckily didn’t seem to bother my granddaughters who slept in there but it did the rest of us when it drifted into the living area. If not for this it would be 5 stars from us!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback. We're really pleased to hear that you and your family—three generations!—had a lovely stay and enjoyed the peaceful location, as well as the space and facilities the property offers. We’re very sorry to hear about the issues with the showers and the smell in the downstairs twin room. We completely understand how this would have impacted your experience, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Our maintenance and housekeeping teams have been informed and will be investigating both concerns to ensure they’re properly resolved for future guests. Thank you again for staying with us and for your kind words—despite the issues raised, we’re glad your granddaughters enjoyed their room and that you had a great time together overall. We hope to welcome you back again in the future!

January short break

We loved the house and had a great few days away. We were happy with the location and the decor was nice. Our only complaints were the wifi only worked in 2 bedrooms and nowhere else in the house, meaning the TV also didn’t work. There were also some cleanliness issues; some Kitchenware was dirty, including a baking tray with old food in it (including a whole sausage!) and lots of plates/dishes etc with food caked onto them, a crate of beer left outside the back door and outside lights not working. We also found various items in drawers showing that they had not been cleaned out- a half empty packet of sanitary towels in one bedroom drawer and a half eaten chocolate orange in another!

Eigentlich eine sehr schöne location, allerdings war von Beginn an nur lauwarmes Wasser vorhanden, das nach einem Tag ganz ausfiel. Auf einen Anruf wurde dann zwar schnell reagiert, die Reparatur dauerte dann aber 2 Tage und hat auch nur 2 Tage funktioniert. Dazu ist dann auch noch die Heizung ausgefallen. Auf erneute Anrufe wurde dann gar nicht mehr reagiert. So hatten wir von 10 Tagen nur 2 Tage heisses Wasser.

Thank you for your honest feedback. I’m very sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with the hot water and heating during your stay — I completely understand how frustrating and inconvenient this must have been, especially over such a long visit. While I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the location and that our team was initially responsive, it’s clear that we fell short in delivering a consistently comfortable and reliable experience. The delay in resolving the water issue and the lack of follow-up afterwards are unacceptable, and I sincerely apologize for the impact this had on your stay. We’ve since investigated what went wrong and have taken steps to improve both our maintenance response process and our communication with guests. A full review of the heating and hot water systems is also underway to ensure this doesn’t happen again. Your feedback is incredibly important and will help us make the necessary improvements.

Amazing place to stay

We was all very impressed by the property, extremely good standards in the property, in pretty much had everything all modern, nicely decorated, everyone of us was well impressed with everything in and outside of the property The location was perfect for me nice quite little village but only 10mins drive from Whitby The only thing I would criticise on is the WiFi wasn't very good or easy to connect to but other than that we loved it and would imagine we will try return later in year 👍
