6 Abbey Terrace Reviews

Booked this house to take my family of 18 as a surprise for my wife's special birthday. It ticked all boxes for us. It was a cold day when we arrived and the house was really warm when we arrived. Each of the bathrooms had plenty of towels. and the bedrooms and loundes are nicely furnished.There was other nice little touches with the compli.entry welcome pack consisting of special local teas and coffee etc. The owner sorted parking permits from the council at a charge. The house has 3 free parking spaces The house is in a great location.
Beautiful house. Our second stay here and I think we'll be coming back for more! The location is perfect in relation to the town and also, importantly for us, to the West Cliff where we have a memorial bench for my late husband. The owners are so accommodating, so much space and brilliant for family games nights. Just wonderful!
Perfect for our needs for the weekend, well definitely book again subject to availability, lovely rooms and fantastic communal areas which really helped to make our weekend.
All good very spacious close to everything host very helpful will return
The house was in a good location, with a view of the Abbey from the window seat. It was near to the beach, with easy access to the town and harbour. It was an ideal property for our group of 14 adults and children. The facilities in the house were good.
Jeanette
We all loved the house and felt at home there. There's plenty of room, so clean and very well appointed. Whitby is brilliant and the location of the house is so good for getting down into town, to the sea front and beaches. We are hoping to return.
Stephen
6, Abbey Terrace was perfect for our stay with easy access to town and the beach. The house was nicely furnished and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had great cooking and cleaning facilities with the two dishwashers and the dining room was big enough for our party of 13. I'd highly recommend it to any large party!
We booked the property so that we could celebrate our diamond wedding with all our family the house was ideal. It was clean, well maintained and ideal for our purpose. We loved the large dining table. We had plenty of individual space and yet the communal sitting rooms allowed us to be together. The house was well situated as well, close enough to the town centre without being right in it.
A lovely home. The family were very helpful with information and the kind welcome pack. The best weekend with the children from the school that have special needs. Thank you to Renwick family you have a lovely home that we enjoyed and took care of
Had a wonderful week at Abbey Terrace in May 2025 with friends and family for my 50th birthday. The house is beautiful, spacious, comfortable and so well equipped with everything you could need. Brilliant location, comfy beds, great showers. The large dining room and living rooms were perfect for larger groups. Good communication with the owners too re parking permits etc. Hands down the best holiday house I have stayed in, and would absolutely stay again. Thank you!
Lovely house for a family ranging from 7 to 80 years old. Lots of room, well equipped and furnished, nice clean decor and comfortable beds. Hostess trolley a bonus when feeding a large group! And buckets and spades in the outhouse for the youngest child made his day.
An amazingly spacious house. Very well laid out. Everything you need is supplied even towels. When you're packing towel take up so much room. Not all holiday let's do, so this is a good bonus. Would I return? Definitely 10 out of 10! Thank you so much.
Lovely house, beautifully clean and very well equipped. Instructions were all clear and helpful and the owner was quick to respond to my queries not many!. The teacoffee and biscuits there when we arrived were much appreciated, thank you!
Brilliant for large families getting together over holidays.
Abbey Terrace was everything we had hoped for. It was decorated beautifully for Christmas and the dining table was plenty big enough for 15 of us with room to spare. All the bedrooms were comfortable and everything was spotlessly clean. Communication with the owner and housekeeper was excellent. We love Whitby and were blessed with lovely weather for the whole week. We will definitely recommend the house to our friends.
This property is great, plenty of seating for everyone and everything you needed in the kitchen. We did not see the housekeeper , in the detail it is 'hoped' they would drop in but we didn't need anything. The departure information was not in the house folder so went by Sykes information. The only things noted were the need of a new toaster and a few light bulbs were not working. Despite these very minor things, the house is amazing, spacious, comfortable, central and we had a great time.
We had a lovely and comfortable stay in this terrace and it was great to have somewhere where a big group of us could all stay together! The dining room and sitting rooms were perfect for us socialising, everything was clean and the facilities kitchen appliances and showers all worked perfectly! Definitely great value for money!
Darren
Fantastic accommodation in an excellent location. Ideal for our party of 15 . Owners were brilliant as we had an issue with the handle on back door and the problem was resolved in no time at all .

Fabulous house, had everything we needed, was beautiful and spotless. Owners were really helpful I would recommend contacting them directly rather than trying to go through Sykes as they were quite unhelpful but owners resolved our queries immediately!
We absolutely loved our stay. The location was amazing would definitely recommend for a large group.
What a great house. Location was perfect and great for a big group. House was very well equipped.
We are a large group of friends who stayed for a long weekend and the property was lovely. Excellent central location made it easy to get around Whitby. The property itself was clean and well furnished with a good kitchen, large dining room table that we could all sit together and nice relaxing sitting rooms. Good communication with the owners and wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
We had a fantastic stay. The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas. The table was perfect for all of us sitting down for Christmas dinner which was also helped by the heated hostess trolley keeping food warm! The bedrooms were big and beautifully laid out. The house is in a perfect situation with a view of the Abbey from the front door, It is a stones throw from the beach and the town and also there was a Church for midnight mass just at the end of the road! It was the perfect house, in the perfect place and we had a perfect Christmas, thank you!
Just spent a lovely weekend at 6 Abbey Terrace with 11 friends House was clean and tastefully furnished. Had everything we needed and very comfortable. Great location, short walk into the town and beach. We enjoyed a lovely return 6 mile walk to Sandsend along the beach., stopping off at a lovely cafe for coffee and cake . Host left us lovely Bothams of Whitby tea and biscuits to enjoy and was very efficient responding to emails. We had a great meal at Cosa Nostra Italian and enjoyed take out fish and chips from the famous Magpie Restaurant .
Yvonne
This property is absolutely beautiful, spotlessly clean. We highly recommend this property.
Samantha
The pictures do not do this house justice. So spacious and comfortable. Was great for our weekend away we didnt want to leave. The owners are lovely & communication was good. Would definitely book again in the future!
Fantastic stay at this lovely house , 14 women ranging from ages of 2375yrs old, we had a great time here ! Everything we needed was in this house and the location was brilliant very close to the centre and shops . Very clean and well maintained , beds were really comfy as was the sitting rooms Could just do with one more recycling bin But would definitely recommend this house for family or friends gathering
Abbey Terrace was a great choice for our large family get together. The property was very clean and well maintained. Ample space for everyone, with great bedrooms, bathrooms and social areas large dining room, and 2 large living rooms. All the bed linen and towels were provided which was perfect. The location of the house meant only a short walk down to Whitby town centre. The 2 parking spaces at the back, and additional parking permits which were requested were great They last 4 days from when you arrive Really good value, and we all managed to get spaces near the house. We will definitely go back if we plan another family trip to Whitby.
Deirdre
We had a fantastic week at the house. Its really spacious allowing our multigenerational family holiday enough room for all to enjoy the holidays. The property was nice and clean. We had a couple of minor issues during the stay, we had a really quick response and the issues were resolved. Our contact Linda was so helpful. Its our second stay at the house as its a brilliant location just a short stroll to sea or shops. The house is well equipped for cooking and is maintained really well.
Overall we had a lovely stay and we would recommend renting this house for a holiday. The house was very warm, clean, comfortable and in a brilliant location what a great place Whitby is, along with surrounding countryside. The welcome bag of local biscuits and cake was much appreciated. Kitchen well equipped and it was great to have two dishwashers. Electricity tripped twice as we had been warned might happen, but it was not difficult to fix. Also door of bathroom between first and second floors was quite noisy to open and close. A small thing the potato masher was not effective. Perhaps could have more recycling bins. Finally a comment about the back door key one time two of us couldn't get in through the back door because the key was left in the lock. But when you take the key out of the lock and hang it on the wall it is the other side of the kitchen and not by the back door which is where it needs to be in the event of a fire. So perhaps move the key rack?
We had a lovely extended family Christmas at Abbey Terrace. The house was as described and as we knew there were a few levels we put the youngest at the top which they loved. The stairs to the top rooms were quite steep but no problem for us. Although there were 16 of us at one time we didnt feel on top of each other as the house is spacious.The kitchen was very well equipped and we found cooking our Christmas lunch easy with all the pans etc provided. The big table was brilliant for us all to be seated together and the Christmas decorations were lovely. Nigel the owner was easy to contact and very helpful . The lovely cakes left for us were a lovely surprise too.
Graham
We all loved the property and the facilities provided ensured a lovely, long weekend break for our walking group. The presentation of the property was superb and the location on the west side of town was ideal for us.
Excellent size house, was great for the 12 adults and 7 children in our family. We all lived it. So convenient for the beach and amusements.

We are a family of 15 who were celebrating our daughters 50th birthday, the house was pretty central to everything the only drawback was the many flights of stairs & the lounge area up a floor from the kitchen , we put the younger members of the family at the top but the stairs to rooms 4,5& 6 proved challenging, we appreciate its the layout of the house
A great trip to Whitby, the property accommodated our party of 15 comfortably. It was a great base from which to explore the town & the surrounding Moors. Comes highly recommended. Thank you.
Lorraine
Beautiful house which was perfect for our large family get together. The house is stylishly furnished and extremely well equipped and its in a great position close to both the sea and the town centre. The communication with the hosts was excellent and I would highly recommend this property.
Danielle
Our group of friends had a fantastic time here for the weekend. What a beautifully kept house and responsive, helpful owners. Lots of bathrooms so no one was on each others toes. We could all 14 of us come together for meals and games and then comfortably have own space to chill as well. So close to everything, short walk for sea dips both mornings! The house had everything we needed and we were kindly offered permits for the extra parking spaces required 2 provided behind the house, the only downside to the area is finding a spot I would say and that can't be helped. Highly recommend staying here, thanks Nigel and Anna
Faultless! The house was perfect and easily accommodated 16 of us. Our hosts were in regular contact leading up to our stay and again afterwards. The welcome pack was a lovely touch. This place has everything you need for a comfortable stay and the location is just a short walk to the main attractions & the beach.
