The house is lovely, perfect for multiple families together. The games room was a huge hit and majority if beds comfortable. We had a few problems during our stay, and the top bathroom and bedrooms after one family left wasnt used at all. Low water pressure meant only one shower at a time, and a few areas were not as clean as I would expect. The en suite bathroom, would benefit from a trip hazard notice on the door, as my dad initially missed this!

Beautiful house, well equipped, modern but still maintains its Georgian character, lovely views from most windows. Warm and welcoming, the basement gamestv room was a bonus. Would be nice to have a loo down there, but that doesnt detract in any way. Fantastic parking for 4 cars always a bonus.
Phillip
Fabulous house, great stay.
Our familys third trip to this wonderful house in Whitby. As previously we really loved all the accommodation, the location, view and facilities. Highly recommend for large family holidays in Whitby our children and grandchildren love it. The front garden this year was wonderful. Thank you
Loved our stay in St hildas terrace again and will hopefully be booking again for next year. It suits our family perfectly. One slight criticism. We had glorious weather so spent quite alot of time sitting in the garden. We all felt the outside furniture should be upgraded to fit in with this quality of property
William
Four generations celebrating an 80th. birthday. All ages had a wonderful weekend together. The facilities matched up to description given. Easy stroll into Whitby
Jonathan
Beautiful house! Great basement space with games & a large TV. Nice lounge areas with large fires. Well equipped kitchen & utility room. All the bedrooms are a good size and very comfortable. The house is just a few minutes walk from the centre of Whitby and all its attractions.
Angela
Beautiful home with a lovely homely feel . Couldnt believe its been in the same family for nearly 300 years thats just amazing. The downstairs gamesentertainment room is a bonus. Will definitely be back one day x thank you
A brilliant large house on wonderful St Hildas Terrace. Great facilities, views, parking , location and wonderful space make this an ideal holiday home for several families and children. Highly recommend and weve booked it for the third time next year in 2025.
12 St Hilda's Terrace, Whitby is a fantastic property with stunning views and perfect for our family with young grandchildren and dogs. The property is very well equipped and in a great central location ideal if you just want to walk out to eat or browse round the lovely independent shops . Lots to do in the area surrounding Whitby too. I would definitely recommend this property. Thank you for a great stay with lovely memories made. Julie
Carolyn
12 St Hildas Terrace was a great place to reunite our family 8 adults and 4 children 4 & under with parking for 4 cars off road. We appreciated the fizz and welcome pack. Large family home with great facilities, feels spacious and comfortable. Appeals to all ages. The park opposite has a FAB playground. Easy walk down into Whitby and close to other attractions. Sainsburys home delivery on first day and fresh Dominoes, made the start relaxed. Comfortable beds and great bathrooms. The games room is perfect for evening relaxation. We cannot fault anything.
Outside furniture dirty and damaged Couldn't open the front door or front windows. Abit of a fire hazard if a fire were to break out in the rear. We love the house and it is perfect for our family. We would rebook for the same time next year but it would need to be Fri Fri. I will ring to find out if this is possible
ie Ann
No.12 St Hildas is such a beautiful house and everything we needed for our family get together. Lovely decor fitting to the age of the house...the bed linen was the best...well stocked kitchen for cooking and the reception rooms with open fires made it so cosy. The best room in the house for the young ones as well as the oldies was the games room, we had a room full of laughter...such a great idea. We will for sure return one day for our next family gathering. Thank you P.S The welcome pack was amazing too...!!
This is a truly beautiful property, the photos on the website dont do it justice. Location this property is conveniently located within easy walking distance of all the wonders that Whitby has to offer. Parking as stated there is convenient off road private parking for 4 full size vehicles. 2 of our party had fully electric vehicles, the EV charging infrastructure of Whitby is still quite poor, if an EV charger were available at the property car park we would have happily paid for the convenience. Something possibly to think about. The house and amenities are over 4 floors Basement a fabulously equipped and stocked games room, a huge tv and comfy sofas. Theres access onto the beautiful enclosed front garden. Ground Floor a large kitchen diner, 2 x sitting rooms. 1st and 2nd floors are bedrooms. It was such a delight to enjoy original features, sit in the various rooms and let your mind wander to previous times. The original fireplaces in the sitting rooms are still in use and feature fire places and other wonderful original features remain in situe in other rooms. Although we visited in February 10th to 17th the house was warm and there was a plentiful supply of hot water. The quality of fixtures, fittings and furnishings were excellent. It felt like we were staying in the home of a much loved aunt as opposed to a rental due to the quality and thoughtfulness that has been put into the presentation of the property. There were some issues on our arrival that I took up with housekeeping so I dont feel it necessary to go into further detail here. I would however like to say that previous users of this property can hang their heads in shame putting filthy pots and pans back in cupboards you are disgusting. The kitchen equipment is well stocked and there has to be an element of trust to occupants that they will respect the contents, the only reasonable alternative being that the contents would be significantly stripped back for inventory checking. So everyone would get less facilities because some filthy pigs have no decency. I remain appreciative to the owners of this property for their discretion in allowing us to enjoy this beautiful property with our dogs. I hope you will have found that we very much respected the trust afforded us and left this beautiful property with as little trace of us as was possible.

This was the most amazing house we have stayed in and was a fantastic location for a 50th birthday celebration with 3 generations. The pool table was very popular, comfy beds and a great pizza shop down the road. Loved the cafe at the bottom of the road and saw a band in one of the local pubs.
Fabulous holiday home. Celebrated special birthday here with all my family, it was an amazing weekend. 12 St Hildas exceeded all my expectations and I will certainly recommend this property.
Nicole
This property is stunning. Perfect layout, excellent location. The kids and adults loved the games room! We all enjoyed our stay at St Hildas. Just one thing to mention the drainage pipe from the top floor bathroom needs repairing. It was like Niagara Falls whenever the plug was pulled from the bath. My partner got soaked walking in to the back door. It floods the outside area. Could be dangerous if it gets icy.
Anthony
Amazing stay. We have stayed before and will But nothing that took away from overall experience!! Perfect for large family gatherings and hosting
Nicola
This beautiful house did not disappoint. Stayed with 10 other ladies celebrating big birthdays. Very spacious and absolutely everything you need in the cupboards. Gorgeous welcome hamper was an extra lovely touch. Location was amazing too. Would highly recommend and cant wait to return. Thank you to the owners for sharing your beautiful property.
Elizabeth
The house surpassed the photos on website and a great base. We just had a issue with the top oven that would spark when using as microwave. Turned out the metal shelf that was in the oven shouldn't have been so was making it spark. The maintenance team were very quick in responding and help sort.
The property is wonderful and in a perfect location. It is large enough to cope with a family of different generations. The parking for 4 cars, the pool and football tables, are a real bonus. The kitchen is so well stocked, there is everything you could possibly need. We had a wonderful holiday, thankyou.
Beautiful property. Perfect for all the family.
What a beautiful house. We all really enjoyed our stay from youngest to oldest. We sometimes had a problem with the door locks. We think some of the keys are getting abit worn. Might be worth getting some new ones cut. Only a minor problem and didn't detract from our stay at all. Think we'll be back.
Great week away for Christmas with friends. The house is plenty big enough for us not to get under each other, Games room a fun added bonus. Well equity house. Pleasant stay.
