“Less than a minutes walk to the dog friendly beach .”
+The property is a detatched building , over the harbour water, on the same pier as the lifeboat station . its quirky, spotlessly clean , the floor to ceiling windows in the living /dining area have nice views over the water if it was too cold to sit on outside large deck area. The fully functional kitchen on floor below has a breakfast bar . It was nice to be able to talk and play the radio provided in the early hours without the fear of disturbing people . The nearest neighbours are in the historic arguements yard nearby , but this building is just surrounded by sea and sand
−The tight metal spiral staircase takes some getting used to , i managed it with a back and knee injury , and found it no harder than a normal staircase , but more care required not to bang my head . Tall or broad people might find it a challenge . but a normal staircase would take up too much space in the building which has been well designed

“Loved it, especially the uniqueness of the Boathouse.”
+Location & quirkiness of the Boathouse was fabulous. Gorgeous lighting & very clean.
−No parking which was the only hurdle, but we knew this beforehand. We parked 5mins away down the road.

“A historic gem in the heart of Whitby, a unique stay.”
+A historic gem right at the heart of Whitby. Gave us our own space in the middle of it all to get away when it seemed crowded. Considerate touches from the host leaving a bit of food just in case we arrived late and a small milk in the fridge. Loved the guide book with the written history / recommendations. Loved the big bath. It was so refreshing to have no internet for the weekend, allowed a total digital detox. Finished the holiday with a swim around the property at high tide. Wonderful break!
−Nothing, it was spot on.
