Ammonite House is in Whitby. It's on a back street, about a five minute walk from the harbour. You're close to the centre but it's quiet.
It's a three storey townhouse, so there are a lot of stairs. They're normal house stairs, but they're steep and a bit narrow in parts. The top bedroom is in the eaves, and the access stairs up to that room are especially steep. It's not suitable for young children because of that.
It sleeps six in three bedrooms. One double on the first floor, another double plus a twin room under the eaves on the top floor. There's one bathroom, on the first floor. It's got a 4 Star rating. It's well looked after, comfortable and clean.
Downstairs is open plan. There's a kitchen, a dining table, and a sitting area with a wood burning stove. The back door leads out to a small decked area with a table and chairs.
Whitby beach is about a ten minute walk. The harbour and the main shops, pubs, and fish and chips are closer. The 199 steps up to the Abbey and St Mary's Church are just along from the harbour. The Whitby Abbey site is run by English Heritage.
You can walk the Cleveland Way along the cliffs from town. The North York Moors National Park starts just south of Whitby. By car, Robin Hood's Bay is about ten minutes away. Goathland for the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, or villages like Staithes, are about half an hour.
Facilities: WiFi, TV, washing machine, wood burner. Bedding and towels are included. We can provide a travel cot and a highchair. There's no dedicated parking, but you can unload outside and there are paid car parks a couple of minutes away. No pets.
