Summary:
Nestled in the seaside town of Whitby on the Yorkshire coast, George House is a spacious holiday home sleeping up to eight guests. The perfect base for families and groups of friends to enjoy a staycation in North Yorkshire, you’ll have full access to the property during your stay which also includes free WiFi, a back yard with outdoor furniture and stunning views across Whitby from the top floor.

The Space:
George House has a bright and welcoming living room. With three sofas, two armchairs and a flat screen TV, it’s a great place to unwind with your loved ones after a busy day exploring Whitby and the surrounding area.

Perfectly combining modern and traditional, there is a fully equipped kitchen with an abundance of appliances and cookware so you can prepare meals easily during your stay. Sharing this space is the dining area which includes a square table and stools to seat all guests.

The property has four bedrooms. There are three double bedrooms - one on the first floor and two on the second - while the fourth bedroom, situated on the first floor, features a super-king size bed. Each bed has plush bedding and premium bed linens to ensure you have a great night’s sleep. Please note that one of the beds is zip & link which can be split into two singles upon request.

There is a sofa bed in the front first floor bedroom which converts into a single bed, and, when made up, this would increase the occupancy of George House to nine. There is also a fold-out single bed with a deep sprung mattress on the second floor that can be put up in the Endeavour Room and, when this is made up, the occupancy could be increased to ten.

There are two family bathrooms at George House. One the ground floor you’ll find a shower room, and the first floor bathroom includes a bathtub with overhead shower. Both spaces are complete with WC’s and wash basins.

Outside you’ll find an enclosed backyard with seating where you can enjoy some fresh sea air.
