  • "April Cottage is in an ideal location to explore both the West and East cliffs of Whitby."

    It is ideal for couples wanting to relax and enjoy what the town has on offer. The property is very cosy and warm, too warm when cooking as there is not much ventilation downstairs. The shower is powerful and the bed is comfortable, if you prefer a softer mattress. The extra bedroom is ideal for reading and using as a dressing room. Overall, it is a lovely place to stay, and it would be nice to know some of the history of the cottage or of Cliff Street if there is anything interesting or any old photographs of the cottage.

  • "Excellent location."

    Parking easy with permit provided. Cottage great little place, had everything we needed. Just 1 small thing please lower the TV... you can't watch TV as too high and hurts your neck. Needs to be lowered down to eye height. Otherwise great and we loved our stay and would recommend again

  • "Lovely lay out, very well equipped and tastefully furnished to a high standard."

    However the mattress was not as supportive as we would have preferred and wall mounted TV much too high for comfortable viewing. Parking voucher works well once we understood the appropriate zones (W) after the weekend we had no problem Highly recommended we would stay there again.

  • "The TV is too high, we got stiff necks and bad backs trying to watch it."

    Hooks and shelves in the bathroom are essential as there isn't anywhere to put our toiletries except on the floor. Also a Caddy in the shower to put shower gel and shampoo. There's nowhere to hang a robe. There's room for a chair in the corner, why not put one in there. A microwave would also be good. Good location but we won't be returning, much nicer accommodation in whitby.

  • "Really lovely little cottage in a great location."

    Spotlessly clean and such a good use of the small space which somehow made it feel a lot bigger than it is. It had everything we needed. The car parking was very convenient which isn’t always the case when staying so central. Despite being so central it was on a really quiet and quaint side street. A lovely place to stay. Would definitely book again.

  • "A small 1 bedroom cosy cottage, that welcomed our fur babies, in the town of Whitby."

    We did not have a garden, but literally just a few steps outside our door, was a wonderful seating area, with plants and flowers, and an acknowledgement of Alice in Wonderland. The view, from the seating area, looking down on us, was of the church and the ruins of the Abbey. We sat here in the evenings with a glass of wine, it was so peaceful. The town of Whitby is bustling with people and some lovely shops selling an array of gifts, crafts, antiques and clothing. The harbour is full of bars, restaurants and places to rest and relax and of course beautiful beaches I'd recommend this cottage for one or two people, (and four legged friends)who just want a simple break away from the stress of working life

  • "Beautiful little cottage in the heart of the town."

    The owners should be very proud! We were worried it would be a little cramped but the use of the limited space is excellent. Lovely and clean throughout, and the information pack had everything we needed for our week's stay. Parking was another concern but it was really easy to use the visitor permits and we had no issues at all - one tip for the owners though, it may be helpful to print a small map highlighting the roads with visitor parking. Also, we had an unexpected issue with one of the radiators - the 'Maid in Whitby' lady who maintains the property was great, she had a plumber sent round in no time and the issue was sorted really quickly. We can't wait to visit Whitby again and would definitely consider booking April Cottage next time.
