Great host, with excellent communication.Location is perfect, central to West Cliff, Harbour & shops.Comfortable rooms providing perfect accommodation for adults, kids and dogs.Kitchen could do with a make over but it was adequate for our needs.I would definitely book again.
Location was perfect . The cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed . The bedrooms and bathroom were particularly large so we had lots of space and lots of cupboard space too. Loved the free standing bath !
The fireplace was warm and heated up the living area quickly. We only are breakfast in the house, but the kitchen looked to be well equipped. The little dining area was quite compact.
Hilda was lovely & friendly from the moment I booked. Very helpful. The house was warm, sparkling clean & comfortable. Beds are comfy. Tip top 3 days. Highly recommend xxx
The property had everything we needed.Location was very good just a minute away from shops but peaceful on an evening.Very clean and comfortable house.
Accessible to the centers of Whitby and all the restaurants and piers.Enjoyed the facilities, only issue is the vacuum cleaner provided was clogged with dusts unemptied from previous guests and we had to unclog the dust bags to ensure effective vacuuming.
Beautiful cottage very clean with everything you need Supper comfortable beds . Little welcome pack in kitchen and milk in the fridge , we all loved it location perfect for harbour and Whitby pavilion.Great communication from owner .
We had a wonderful stay! The property was spotless, well-maintained, and just minutes from shops and restaurants—super convenient. The host was incredibly helpful and responsive, making everything easy from start to finish. We especially appreciated the thoughtful gift basket on arrival (and milk in the fridge)—it was a lovely touch. Highly recommend!
Everything you need and it's in a perfect location - sea, pubs, shops, arcades all nearby for a fun family trip! Beautiful view out the top bedroom window too.
Really nice cottage very close to amenities. Accommodation was well proportioned. Kitchen work tops were very sticky. The only other criticism I have was that the pillows were very hard. Other than that the cottage was great. Central heating worked very well
If you want to feel at home as soon as you step through the door then this cottage is for you, its homely its not a show home its just a home. We could not have picked a better cottage for our stay, its centrally place for shops beach restaurants the lot, yet its so peaceful and quiet. And the owner cares that you have a good stay, Just perfect.
