What’s not to like about the location.Everything was perfect for us and our pet.Location near everything.Accommodation was great all round.2 big bathrooms and bedrooms.Parking is a little tight but I had a Jaguar SE and it was only a couple of careful manoeuvres to get in.Sofa was a little uncomfortable and could do with replacing.Fantastic would definitely recommend and will use again.

Alice's Place is ideally situated in the centre of Whitby, with shops and restaurants within a couple of minutes' walk. It is spacious, comfortable, beautifully decorated, and very well equipped. Although central, it is in a very quiet location, with no street noise at night.My only small proviso is that the private parking space is accessed down a narrow lane and the turn is tight. We have a Nissan Qashqai and I would not like to try parking a car that was much larger than that.
