• "Another lovely stay at Witts End."

  We have loved every minute and feel rested up in this perfect seaside cottage for 2. Thanks for the thoughtful welcome treats. Meg our Jack Russell loved the treats too and she would love to know where she can get a comfy dog bed like that from. Thank you I’m sure we will return again

• "It’s a gem of a place."

  Secluded and quiet, which was a pleasant surprise, being so close to the centre. It had everything we needed. The village centre had it all, butcher, bakery, fruit and veg shop and several drinking establishments. The hosepipe was a bonus as our dog wouldn’t stay out of the sea. A small outdoor drinks table would have been a nice to have, as we sat outside quite often- waiting for the dog to dry off. We would definitely stay here again.

• "This is a fabulous property!"

  There is everything you could need and the bed/sofa is very comfortable. We had been left a lovely welcome basket, with bread, an elderflower drink, apples and popcorn, with milk in the fridge. The house is opposite a Co-op so handy for shopping and the beach is a shirt drive away. Fully recommend

• "This lovely cottage is well-appointed and maintained."

  and very comfortable. We had everything we needed for our stay and our host left us a lovely welcome basket. The location of the cottage was quiet, yet very close to amenities. Local beaches are really clean and we enjoyed some good walking to nearby towns. Local bus routes are within very easy reach and the free parking at the local Co-op was a bonus .....it was easy to park and then walk our luggage across the road to the cottage. We recommend this cottage for couples/singles and dog owners. (We don't have a four-legged friend, but they are obviously well catered for and welcomed on the local beach too).

• "Lovely cottage, everything provided for a nice stay, the only draw back for us was my husband is a bit immobile at the moment and you cannot drive up to the cottage and have to park across the road behind the coop, you drop luggage at the end of the road and carry it to the cottage."

  The town is lovely and people are so friendly, a micro brewery at the of the road a 2 min walk, fish and chip shop turn right and its on the left, is within walking distance and the fish is fresh everyday from Whitby and they do scraps!! Several more bars/coffee shops in the precinct and plenty of places to eat outside. Locals are lovely so chatty with recommending places to go. Our dog loved the beach, it is steep getting down at Marske so my husband stayed at the top, all in all a lovely break with plenty of things to do and see, most of the car parks you pay on-line by an app!

• "The cottage was lovely, we had a slight problem with the heating."

  The owner arranged for that to be sorted out within minutes, thanks Dee Dee and Linda. There was a welcome pack which was a nice thought. The cottage more than made up for the horrible weather. I would recommend the cottage to anybody.

• "A wonderful stay at Witts End Cottage."

  We felt at home as soon as we opened the front door. Very clean, comfortable and homely. The heating was already on, when we arrived, which was a a lovely surprise and most welcome. The cottage is very well equipped and the welcome basket of fresh bread, milk, wine, beer, popcorn, doggie ball and treats was a fantastic surprise and a lovely touch. It is situated in a brilliant location in the village, surrounded by coffee shops, pubs, butchers, fish & chip shop, take away restaurants, Sainsburys and the Co-Op. We visited the beaches of Marske, Red Car, Saltburn, Sandsend, Robin Hood Bay and Whitby, which were stunning and very therapeutic. We didn’t want to go home and will definitely be coming back! The only comment we would make is that we would have liked a tv in the bedroom, but that’s personal choice. Thank you, De, for a wonderful break in your holiday home. Claire, Sean and Jack the dog x

• "Just returned from spending new year in wits end cottage."

  The cottage itself was adorable! Everything you need. Thoughtful little welcome gifts for ourselves & our dog….lovely touch. I loved where it was situated, a cute cobbled little street hid away. Spent most days walking on the beach, which our Pooch loved. Everything you need, shops, cafes, pubs & wine bars (we particularly liked the lockdown). A short car ride to Redcar & saltburn-by-the-sea. We would definitely return to wits end cottage. The only slight issue was the shower head wasn’t long enough to reach down to wash our dog, after spending days on the beach he needed showering. Ended up doing it with a jug. The cottage was spotless. Good quality bedding & towels. Everything you need in the kitchen. Owners even provided fresh bread & milk, very thoughtful. Overall thoroughly enjoyed our stay, would book again….10/10

• "Witts End is a charming small cottage in a lovely setting, at the end of a cobbled courtyard."

  The cottage is very well equipped, very welcoming, and has a real 'home from home' feel to it. It is ideally placed for all the local shops, bars, pubs and restaurants, and is only a short walk from the excellent beach. With one of the best welcomes we've had so far, this is a great choice for a couple of relaxing days near the coast.

  The property was clean, comfortable and had all the necessary facilities for an enjoyable stay. I cant think of anything the owner missed out. The owner was very welcoming and helpful and was ready to answer any queries and requests for help. We also had a welcome pack of wine, bread, tea and snacks waiting for us. Our cat also had a welcome pack! There was a large comfy cat bed, litter, dry food and bowls-I couldn't believe it! She was well spoiled. The cottage had a homely, traditional air with solid, traditional furniture in keeping with the cottage itself, which I loved. Having said that, It was also equipped with all necessary, modern facilities: kitchen, cooker, fridge, washer, dryer, radiators TV and shower. We enjoyed our stay very much and would return.

• "We had a fabulous time in this wonderful, cosy and quiet property."

  On arrival we were greeted by a very generous welcome pack and personal card which provided all the essential info re wifi codes etc. Our cockerpoo, Zena absolutely loved her welcome pack too and loved snoozing in the cosy dog bed provided for her after long walks along the beach. Whilst we didn't use it, the option to use Netflix is also a really nice extra. Generally the property is very well equipped (far better than many we've stayed in) although we would have appreciated a sieve to strain rice and a cheese grater. Also, and a personal preference maybe, bath sheets in the bathroom too. We thoroughly recommend the butchers just around the corner on the High Street, as well as the micro pub The Lockdown and The Dog House (both of these places were incredibly dog friendly).

  The cottage itself was a lovely little bolt hole for myself, my husband & our dog Vinny. The welcome hamper of wine, chocolate, crisps and fresh bread was a lovely touch (there was even milk in the fridge) and there was even a welcome pack for Vinny …the location was perfect for us and we had no issues parking on the coop car park which is literally opposite the little cobbled lane of Prospect Place. Beautiful big bedroom with king sized bed and lovely bed linen, fluffy towels…it really was all wonderful. There is no safe outside space for the dog to go outside alone (but they do tell you this) but we had no problem just popping his lead on last thing at night and first thing in the morning for a quick run round the corner. Frankie the owners daughter was super friendly and helpful. All in all we had a wonderful time, we will definitely go back and would highly recommend this cottage and this area. Thank you for a lovely break.
