Host & Stay | Albion House

Summary:
Spread across three floors, Albion House is an impressive townhouse located in the centre of Whitby. With six bedrooms, and four bathrooms, this property sleeps up to 12 guests - making it the perfect place for family gatherings and getaways with friends. Albion House which has been beautifully designed and styled is not to be missed by those looking for a stylish, modern place to stay, with buckets of room to spare.

The Space:
Upon entering the property you will be straight into the hallway, an elegant space with a minimalist approach to the decoration, it’s beautifully patterned flooring will lead you down a pack of luxury into the rest of the property. Turning left off the hall, you will enter our dining and kitchen area. Spacious and with plenty of seating to spare for the whole house, this area is at the very heart of the property where you can all gather together for meals, and relax in your spare time - either at the long dining table or on the kitchen island. The kitchen is sleek and modern, with fine, shining surfaces and appliances for you to work on to make the best of your self-catering stay away from home.

If you were to follow the hall straight through you would come to the first bedroom, inside of which is a double bed that is armoured in the softest, white bed linens and pillows. This room also has its own shower room on hand, wide and open with plenty of room to stretch in the hot water, as well as its own wash basin and WC for convenient use by the lucky guest to sleep downstairs.

Climbing the stairs brings you onto the first floor. The centre of this part of the house is the living room, a blank canvas onto which you use to create the best night in: maybe on the two sofas in front of the flatscreen; or just a place grab an easy rest, sitting down on the fine charis for five minutes in between a busy day exploring the best of what Whitby has to offer. In addition you can find a cosy twin bedroom. A simple room with neutral colouring and reading lamps mounted to the wall, this is the perfect room for the kids or friends to share. Also on this floor are two WCs - useful to avoid any morning queues that might form - and a family bathroom, where you can have a nice relaxing soak, or take a power shower and take advantage of its rainfall feature for the best result. It also comes equipped with cabinets for plenty of storage, as well as a WC and wash basin to use.

On the second floor, you arrive at a quiet part of the house - the Snug, with a sofa and coffee table, it’s a humble place in which you can just grab a 5 minutes to yourself in peace and quiet. Also on this floor are two double bedrooms, both are decorated to the same standard, with soothing whites and pale creams that create the perfect environment for a calming rest after a long day. One of these rooms also has the added bonus of a balcony, where you can sit down and enjoy an evening drink or your morning tea with someone, and look out onto Whitby harbour sprawling across the landscape - waiting for you.

Finally, at the peak of the property, you will find a quiet reading area with a chaise longue, where you can curl up with a choice tome and let time pass you by. This floor also has one double bedroom and a twin, that make the most of their space and neutrally decorated with pale blues and greys. The addition of a showeroom could make it easy for a whole family to have this floor to themselves.

Altogether, Albion House is a sleek, modern property with plenty of room for those large family holidays together where you all venture out - Whitby would be yours for the taking!

Please note that the sofa in the snug can be made up into a double sofa bed. Please contact our friendly team prior to your stay to request for this to be made up.
