The Pirate's Palace is a house on Flowergate in Whitby. It's on the West Cliff, so you're up high with the main view looking back over the town towards the Abbey and the sea.
It sleeps eight people. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms. It's got a 4 Star rating. It's been done up to a good standard. The stairs inside are quite steep, which is normal for a tall Whitby house.
Access is via some stone steps from the street. There's on-street parking out the front which is free. The garden is a small lawned area at the front of the house.
Inside, it's decorated in a themed, colourful way. The living room is on the first floor with a big bay window for the view. There's a wood burner. The kitchen is well equipped. Two double bedrooms with the best views are on the second floor, along with the bathrooms. The other two bedrooms are up another flight of stairs in the attic, with beds under the eaves.
It's a shoes-off house. They provide spa slippers, but you might want to bring your own.
Whitby town centre is right there. There's a fish and chip shop, a pub, a butcher, and a small community shop all within a couple of minutes' walk. The beach is about a ten minute walk downhill.
For things to do, you're in the middle of it. The 199 steps up to the Abbey, the harbour, the Captain Cook museum, it's all on your doorstep. For a longer walk, the Cleveland Way coastal path is accessible from town.
Within a half hour drive you've got the North York Moors. Places like Goathland or the steam railway at Grosmont are easy to get to. Robin Hood's Bay is along the coast.
Facilities include a washing machine, dishwasher, WiFi, TV, cot, highchair, and stairgate. Bedding and towels are included. No pets allowed.
