Company information

Julia worked in a public facing role for over 30 years. We both enjoy meeting people and travelling. We have 2 grown up children and our black Labrador dog is called Max.

Property information

The Glenora is a late 1800’s building which still has many of its main features such as pitched pine flooring and stained glass in the entrance, high ceilings with coving, and ornate fireplaces. All our rooms have been repainted since October 2017 and new carpet to the breakfast room and staircase. It has a beautiful south facing garden where you are welcome to sit and relax.

Neighbourhood information

There are many things to do in Whitby a 2 minute walk to the large local museum & the leisure centre , 5 minute walk to the nearest shops, bars, restaurants & seafront. We have a bus stop right outside the house from which you can get to some of the other local villages or as far as Middlesbrough on a direct bus. Also, the Whitby town tour open top bus stops here too! Whale watching and fishing trips are available from our harbour and the steam train from Whitby to Pickering line is very popular. If you’re feeling brave, why not do one of the Whitby Ghost walks?!
