• "Fantastic house with everything you could possibly need."

  The views are amazing and the conservatory is a wonderful place to enjoy them. The garden is lovely and although dog friendly, I would not say dog safe as there is an area at the bottom of the garden with the raised seating where they could easily escape. Andy is a fantastic host, on hand if needed. Thank you Andy, we hope to return in the not too distant future.

  Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay on the Yorkshire coast. Great views from the garden and wildlife on your step. Looking forward to the next visit already.

• "What a wonderful place."

  Exactly as listed, even a welcome bottle of wine and basics to start the holiday off. A few cobwebs and very minor decor blemishes which would benefit from some TLC but this in no way hampered anything. Wildlife vusits an absolute treat too.

• "The beds are hard and uncomfortable, the main bedroom downstairs, next to the conservatory has a unique smell, having no ventilation."

  ( stale body odours)." You can however create a flow of air from the upstairs bathroom window which. draws air down the very creaky staircase. The bath towels & bedding have seen better days. The badgers & dear seen from the conservatory + the views were the best part. Overall if your not really bothered about home comforts, it's the place for you. But having said that having paid close to a £1000 pounds for 5 days, you would have thought a better level of hygiene and comfort would be at the forefront of the owners

  Many thanks for your feedback. Most people love the fact you can open the double doors to see the most fabulous sun rises and the garden wild life from the main bedroom. We buy two new complete bedding sets a year so I'm not sure what the problem is. Two of us spend all day Saturday between change overs getting the house ready and that's the same every week, we don't cut corners. I'm sorry you booked the dearest week of the year, it was bank holiday and half term for schools. I encourage all our guest to give me a call and I will do everything to resolve any problems, as our extensive feedback shows. We want you to have a great stay. Property Owner

• "This holiday was our third trip to 2 The Close."

  Each time we arrive it is like coming home. There are seven of us and we feel so comfortable with the facilities and the garden with the spectacular view. The badgers appeared every night which was great and we love the pheasant that wanders around all the gardens. The house location is very good for walking on the Cleveland way or the cinder track into Whitby which we do every visit. We met Andy the owner and he is very easy to talk to and takes care of any needs you may have. We will certainly be back.

• "Beautiful property in a great location."

  Very dog friendly. Very welcoming with milk, flowers and a bottle of wine. Exceptional views and would be amazing with the right weather. Still great in bad weather. We did however feel rushed and under pressure on the leaving day with the owner waiting on the driveway whilst we were loading the car 15minutes prior to the allocated leaving time of 9.30am although I appreciate this wasn't intended.

• "Lovely spacious property, everything that you need is there for your comfort and convenience."

  Unexpected welcome pack included a large disposable barbecue and wine x 2. Large rear lawn on the cliff face overlooking the North Sea. Badgers in the garden at night time plus a sole bat providing a nightly display watching from the roomy conservatory. Very quiet location just a short but rather steep walk down to the Robin Hood’s Bay village. Excellent exercise trying to walk back up said hill! Cracking chippy just as the slope begins. Property is well situated for Whitby and the NY moors but the journey to Scarborough is a bit of a pain and often bottled-necked so allow plenty of time and patience if sightseeing the coast in a southerly direction. Whitby and Staithes to the north are worthy places to visit with hardly any parking congestion but lots to do and see.

  A great base, terrific views and very well equipped and comfortable home from home. The garden is large and has plenty of seating, and the view is breath taking. We spent each evening in the conservatory together, enjoying family meals and playing games. This enabled us to spot the badgers wandering around the garden as soon as dusk fell. Such a privilege!

• "This is our second stay at 2 The Close and it was like coming home again."

  We were a party of seven adults and two dogs. Everything was just the same as our last visit, comfort, cleanliness, facilities. We were straight into our holiday enjoying the magnificent garden and views and experiencing the superb hot weather that the week provided for us. Every evening from about 8pm we were treated to the visit of the family of badgers. On one evening we had five badgers in the garden and one came right up to the conservatory. A photographers delight. The bungalow is ideally positioned if you want to try the Cleveland Way walks to Ravenscar or to Whitby. Also the cinder track to both places for walking or cycling. We did both walks and caught the bus back. Ideally placed for buses to Scarborough or Whitby. Thank you to owner Andy, who we met again, for his friendliness and help. We have booked our third trip for next year. Terry Ibbitson and family

• "This is a nice place, we would go again."

  It is clean and generally better than the photos suggest. The garden is large and fairly private. Sitting at the table at the end of the garden on a sunny morning is like being on a TV travel show - great views and serenity. On the other hand, you are on top of a cliff overlooking the North Sea, so any hint of an east wind leaves you in no doubt this is North Yorkshire. A fairly unique feature is that the neighbours feed the badgers that live in the wilderness below the cliff. So badgers can be easily seen from the garden in the evening. We created peanut trails from the cliff edge to the back door and easily attracted what looked like a family of four. By the nightfall on the final night there may have been 11 in the garden, with the boldest sniffing at the windows. Parking for 2 cars is easy and with care 3 can be fitted on the house parking. Street parking for at least one more is possible. If I could change one thing, it would be the plumbing, which is noisy – flushing the downstairs toilet tends to wake up the bedroom above. Plus - we found TV reception intermittent. On the whole, in a world where everything seems to have a crazy price, this is fair value.

  Never saw the adjoining neighbour, maybe a holiday home? Garden is dog friendly, no chance of escaping. Parking for 2 cars at the front.

  Lovely holiday at 2 The Close. Morning coffee in the conservatory watching the sunrise was lovely, as was sitting at the end of the garden overlooking the bay. No worries about parking as you can get three cars in the space. Short walk and you are at the top of the hill into the bay. Very well equipped with slow cooker, fridge, freezer, microwave, coffee machines, dishwasher etc etc. Our greyhound loved the fully enclosed garden. Loads of room in the property as it was just two of us. Great holiday and we will return.

• "Overall the property was good and suited our needs."

  The garden wasn’t secure as one of our dogs found all the weak spots. The bathrooms in the property all need a deep clean and the grouting to be redone. My friend had to clean the upstairs shower before use. The Bath mats were disgusting and I wouldn’t use them. No washing line in the garden. I read the review book and this had been raised before but not actioned.

  Thank you for submitting your feedback. I'm concerned about your comments as we strive to provide a home for a great holiday. Our policy is to attempt to contact all of our guests to see if they are settling in OK. Unfortunately I was un able to contact you by phone and by a visit in person. I personally do the changeover on this house but on this very rare occasion I was at a family wedding. Its a real shame, I leave my personal contact number in the cottage and I live locally so I could have resolved any problems instantly. We elected not to put a washing line up as we have a 180 degree panoramic view over looking Robin Hoods Bay. Seems a shame to hide that so we elected to offer a clothes horse instead. For information I have 3 dogs, one of them quite young. I have never had a problem with them securely roaming the garden. There is a picket fence at the bottom of the garden, The 3ft fence to the side of the garden has netting on it. I 'm happy for any potential guest to talk to me personally before booking if they have any concerns Property Owner

  All the comforts that you need in the extended bungalow. Nice size kitchen, four bedrooms, one that opens into the conservatory, two bathrooms, a nice lounge with a large screen tv. There is also Wifi. We spent most of our time in the conservatory with sweeping views of the garden and out to sea. At dusk we saw badgers at the bottom of the garden and one evening a deer as well as Pheasants. Getting up early was essential for us to view the magnificent sun rises. We were blessed with a week of cloudless,warm days. The cold evening were special sitting in the heated conservatory. The bungalow is very close to the start of the Cleveland Way walk to Whitby and not far from the start of the Cleveland Way walk from Robin Hoods Bay to Ravenscar. Plenty of nice pubs and restaurants in the area most dog friendly. Andy the owner is very friendly and approachable. We highly recommend this bungalow and we will book again in the future. 5 stars from us. Thanks for the stay.

• "Well equipped cottage."

  The only thing missing was a high chair but we managed to borrow one from the next door bungalow who were very friendly and helpful. If you go in the conservatory as the sun rises and don't put lights on you will probably see the deer which come out of the undercliff and graze at the bottom of the garden. The bins are done on alternate Fridays so you will find them pretty full when you arrive. The recycling is one week, general the next. If you have a real load of rubbish the tip is behind the Sainsbury's in Whitby. The there is now an Aldi there as well. The Lidl is on the way out near the football club. Aldi and Lidl are well worth using to stock up with basics, both have big car parks. The glass table in the conservatory makes eating there a bit of a squeeze, however if you have a torx screwdriver you can take a leaf off which makes it easier. The food in the Victoria is good and we have found the fish and chips from the Fish Box better than those from the chippie down the hill although it has just changed hands so may improve. When walking on the beach remember that the cafe in the YHA at Boggle Hole is open to everybody, all day and evening and is superb. Always watch out for the tide especially when the sea is calm, it will sneak in behind your back. Whitby uses disc parking. The cardboard discs are free at all shops and you set you arrival time on them. It is the same system as Harrogate and Scarborough. If you wish to stay longer you can buy scratch cards in shops which give you all day parking in that zone.
