The garden was unrecognisable from the photos, it was overgrown and untidy. The location was very good and parking was great but the property needs some attention.

So close to a lovely park, great for the children and dogs. Close to the beach and some lovely walks. Close to cafes, restaurants and some seriously, good Fish and Chip shops and Ice Cream & Coffee cafes !! Plus lots of mini golf courses, by the sea. Also the main shopping area is a 20 minute walk. Plus Train Station & large supermarkets just minutes away by car. Highly recommend the mini train rides and boats in the park. If you like beachcombing go to Whitby for some fossils hunting, plus itâs lovely, old cobblestones shopping areas. The house itself was fine for our needs and we enjoyed our stay. The kitchen , which isnât shown in the ads is actual a nice size with all you will need for catering a group of 10-16 people. We had a few maintenance issues, but nothing major and certainly it didnât spoil our holiday. On the whole we would recommend this holiday home .
