We spent an amazing bank holiday weekend in this property. The accommodation had everything you could possibly need and was clean and spacious. I think we definitely had 'the best seat in the house' with views of the 199 steps, the Abbey, harbour and see.
Fantastic cottage, wonderful location, great views and wonderful for access to the town. For people with larger vehicles (mine is very small) I would check to see if the location and separate underground parking is suitable.

Probably more pricy in the height of Summer and special events, such as Goth weekends, but great value in September. Fantastic location at the foot of the 199 Steps and a superbly equipped cottage. It is set over four floors with a spiral staircase arrangement, so not suitable for anyone with mobility issues, but some great views. We thoroughly enjoyed our four night stay.
The location was exceptional, right at the foot of the 199 steps, with stunning views from the Master Bedroom. The photos really don't do the property justice; it is beautiful, tradition, cosy, and well appointed. The secure parking was a huge bonus and very much appreciated.
The stairs initially felt a bit scary (3 flights of spiral stairs), but we soon adjusted to them. There is a safety bar near the bathroom that could benefit from improvement to prevent the half-asleep accidentally falling down the stairs in the middle of the night, but we managed to not fall down.
We easily filled our 3 day stay without ever using the car, could have done a lot longer; there is so much to see and do, and the beaches and walking for cheaper activities.

I love the quicky character of the cottage. The weather was blowing a gale when we first arrived and we could hear the rattling in the windows at the attic room. This add to the character. Location was fantastic for exploring. It was not easy to access property.

Lovely cottage at the bottom of the 199 steps, cottage comfortable, soft clean bedding and towels. Soft,comfy sofas to spend time on in the cosy downstairs lounge. Only a couple of issues that are easily sorted, I had to wash any baking trays I wanted to use as they had been put away dirty by other visitors. The toaster and iron could do with replacing. This would not put me off staying again as I feel it is something the owners of the cottage are unaware of.
Whitby is a great place to stay and there are lots of restaurants and coffee shops nearby. A walk to Sandsend is recommended.

Such a wonderful cottage, amazing location, beautiful views, great facilities in the cottage, very clean and well decorated. Parking is a massive bonus, although slightly tricky to find. So close to the 199 stairs to the Abbey but not noisy. Looking forward to a return visit

Love whitby & the quaintness & location of this cottage

This was a much needed break, we enjoy Whitby & being so close to everything was fantastic. having a reserved parking space was the icing on the cake.
the cottage was well equipped with everything you could possibly need, a real home from home.
Waking up to Wonderfull views each morning was motivational , I even climbed the 199 steps for the first time in over 20 years.
