Larpool Mill is delightful, full of rustic charm without sacrificing comfort and convenience.The property is very spacious and well set out, everything one might need has been provided. The ‘welcome pack’ was a nice gesture too.The garden is large and the situation very quiet, especially so as the small road outside was closed to traffic while we were there. We enjoyed walking into Whitby along the ‘cinder track’ with our two dogs, who also had a great holiday. The weather was perfect and we barbecued one evening, enjoying sitting under the covered outside eating area, though the mozzies had a bit of a feast too!I would thoroughly recommend a stay at lovely Larpool Mill.

The cottage is stunning and the location is perfect for what we needed. The separate chalet with one of the double rooms was useful for this as it meant my parents didn't have to manage lots of stairs.Its a 20 minute walk outside of Whitby (mostly downhill after a sharp uphill, remember that on the way back!) and that walk is very picturesque with some great views across the countryside.Currently the narrow lane alongside the cottage is closed to vehicles, which if anything is a good thing as the road is even quieter than it might be - it'll slightly slow up your drive if you want to head to the Abbey though.The garden is large and the covered pergola means you can enjoy sitting outside with the BBQ even if the weather is a little changeable. When we were there we saw ducklings on the little stream that runs through the garden.It is possible to have 2 extra beds put up on the mezzanine "snug" - but I'd say these are only suitably sized for children and if they're up there than noisy adults in the living room below might keep them awake. It worked fine for us, but something worth bearing in mind.

Breathtakingly Beautiful

Just arrived home after a 3 night stay at Larpool Mill; the most breathtaking accommodation we’ve ever booked. Our faces when we arrived said it all! This truly is a home-from-home equipped with everything you need inside and out, with very cute welcome goodies, ample space for a large family and tranquil outdoor setting for evening gatherings. The decor (as a cottage girl geek) was out of this world. Credit to the owners of this hidden gem. We will absolutely be returning. 10/10.

Had a lovely time,host thought of absolutely everything

Cottage and surrounding grounds were wonderful. Ho wever on our booking it said there was a hot tub so we booked expecting a hot tub. Turns out there wasn't one. Had we known that we would have booked in Whitby itself rather than the outskirts, Host was apologetic and website has been rectified, We had a lovely stay,just not the one we were hoping for

Perfect!

We stayed for 3 nights and loved every moment of our stay. The cottage has absolutely everything you could need and comfortably accommodated 9 adults and 5 children. We were blessed with sunshine so we got to enjoy the stunning garden, watching the children play in the stream. Absolutely perfect weekend.

Spacious, clean, well equipped property in great grounds (complete with resident ducks and a roe deer one morning). Good location for just strolling to the village or walking to Whitby along the Cinder Track or via the railway. Azmat was responsive.

Amazing visit from beginning to end!!

From the moment we came down the hill and saw Larpool Mill, we knew we were in for an absolute treat. This amazing building is just beautiful - from the location and outdoor facilities, to the extensive rooms, en suite bathrooms, fantastic kitchen with everything you could ever need provided for you and more. Plus a welcome basket with wine, cake, biscuits etc and some milk in the fridge. I could go on and on ….. The owner, Azmat, is also charming beyond words. We have had a fantastic family weekend and made some beautiful memories. Thank you, Ann Youell and family xx

Superbly built family property

The description does not do it justice; from getting there and walking in the door, the thought that has clearly gone into this place is truely outstanding and a credit to the team that put it together. We had a fantastic long weekend for a major family birthday. Very comprehensively catered for kitchen and lovely Welcome pack. Just dont forget to feed the ducks.

What a wonderful house. It is like a 5 star hotel but homely and welcoming. The kitchen is better equipped than most professional ones. I could not fault this house and the lovely welcome pack that the host left us…i could not recommend Larpool Mill highly enough. Worth every single penny.
