Host Info

Host Review Score 9.9

Now named Highgate House this beautiful Georgian town house was, for many years the Rectory of Whitby, then under private ownership has now been converted into 'high end' accommodation.

Polly & Andy Brown moved to Whitby in March 2015 after purchasing the 250 year old Highgate House a beautiful Georgian town house originally built for a sea captain and now converted to high end Georgian Rooms

Whitby is a beautiful harbour town which has retained most of its ancient charm. Now with a vibrant night life as well as lovely beach walks its the destination for getting away from it all mini breaks.
