• "We loved our week in Clickety Clack."

  The cottage was very cosy and warm. We enjoyed the views of the trains as they passed daily and the short walk into town. All the facilities were provided and it was very clean. The parking space was an added bonus although we didn’t move the car as we were so close to all amenities and the bus station. Wonderful week in Whitby will definitely visit again.

  Parking a god send in whitby. Easy walk into the hustle an bustle of the harbour. Perfect for any train enthusiasts as the steam train goes past daily. Easy access and good communication from the owner. Could do with a coffee table or a nest of tables to put drinks on. All in all a great place to stay.

  It has a parking space which is a real bonus in Whitby. The cottage was spotless for us and there was everything that we needed. Although we did eat out several times we did make meals back at the house and the kitchen was very well stocked. The house felt clean and well cared for and I would have no hesitation in recommending Clickety Clack as the perfect place to stay in Whitby.

• "Lovely clean, comfortable cottage in a very convenient location, with views over river towards abbey and church."

  Good for steam railway enthusiasts too. If we decided to return to Whitby we would certainly like to book this cottage again. However, after 35 years of attending Folk Week, we now find that music fringe is not so good and the town generally overcrowded and expensive - so we may not return.

• "We had a lovely relaxing break in Whitby and clickety-clack cottage made it perfect."

  It was scrupulously clean, comfortably furnished and well located. We appreciated the views of the boats and the abbey from the kitchen/lounge whilst enjoying the cottage facilities. The walk into Whitby town centre only took five minutes. The train into Whitby station runs behind the cottage - the trains are few and they did not wake or disturb us. For us, it was all part of the quirky charm. The owner’s communication was friendly and responsive. We would not hesitate to return.

  We wrapped up each day and went exploring the beautiful town particularly the winding cobbled lanes lined with individual Jet shops up to the famous 199 steps and church which was being decorated for Christmas. So lovely to come home to Clickity Clack cottage which was warm, spotlessly clean and so well kitted out. We had great views of the choppy harbour and the Abbey, only disappointment was all trains cancelled due to weather and be aware steam trains do not run after October 31st. We will certainly book again as we love Whitby ❤️. Recommend the Magpie for not just fish and chips but so much more including oysters! Also The Stables a little way out of town for a great Sunday lunch and breakfast on our leaving day.

  We loved staying at Clickerty Clack Cottage. However, not as clean as we would have liked. We had to wipe out the fridge, bread bid, kitchen work tops, dining table and the bin in the kitchen, which had food stuff all over the inside of the lid and smelt. I had to vacuum the whole cottage. Some of the floor area's looked like they hadn't been properly vacuumed. A bit disappointing. The bathrooms and the beds were very clean though.

• "Our stay at Clickety Clack Cottage in June 2021 was an absolute joy."

  Originally meant to take place in 2020, the holiday had in obviously been pushed back because of the pandemic but we’re so glad we eventually made it. The weather was glorious and the cottage was the best we’ve ever stayed in. Whitby wasn’t hindered by the COVID restrictions either, so we felt safe while enjoying our holiday. We stayed in Clickety Clack with our two children, aged four and two, and they loved the steam and vintage diesel trains running past the patio and they also loved the bunk beds, as well as the novelty of staying in an “upside down” house. My husband and I loved how well stocked the cottage was, how clean and comfy it was, and how close to all the local amenities you are. It’s small but perfectly formed and we’ll definitely be booking to stay again in the future.

• "It's the second time we've stayed at this cottage, we love the location and the steam trains running past."

  The cottage has been finished well, lovely and comfortable with all basic facilities you'd expect. There is wi fi, probably not the fastest but fine for what we needed it for. It's a nice little stroll into town if you want to go to a restaurant at night or the shops and sites during the day. A cottage with parking is very handy, saves the need for a car park. I would say its ideal for a quiet get away, but close enough other facilities should you want to, my wife and I love it.

• "We stayed in the cottage as a family of 4 in August 2020; our children were 6 and 9 at the time of our visit."

  Our first impression of the cottage was lovely, a delightful setting, beautifully decorated, private parking and just away from the hustle and bustle of Whitby but near enough to walk. The views of the harbour and abbey were stunning and the Co-op was a short 3 minute walk away - perfect! The cottage itself was very well equipped, in fact the kitchen probably had more than we were expecting with washing up liquid, foil and kitchen roll and dishwasher tablets amongst other things readily and available. Whitby itself was extremely busy, almost too busy given the circumstances surrounding Covid but that is not the reason for the 3 star review. This is based solely on the cottage itself. With it being an upside down building the bathroom was downstairs and was built at the rear of the cottage into the hillside; this meant no windows to let in fresh air, as a result, with 4 people in the cottage the atmosphere was always a bit damp after our daily showers - in fact it took me three days to dry a load of washing. We followed the instructions with the fan and the heated towel rail but you can’t compensate for fresh air. Due to the building being in the middle of a terrace type row, the cottage was also very hot and not easy to cool down even with windows open. Now for the noisy bit - the cottage is built directly at the side of the railway line, this was perfect for watching the steam trains pass by during the day, it was almost magical to see...the only problem was the 06:15 and 06:30 whitby to Pickering trains that passed each morning, because the cottage it next to a pedestrian crossing, the trains are required to sound their horns upon their approach, this was a less than ideal wake up call! The other issue was the large harbour car park directly opposite. On the weekend the car park was visited by numerous young adults until 2 o’clock in the morning, there was a lot of shouting, screaming and cars racing/performing donuts outside the cottage which was a terrible shame. All in all; we had a nice holiday but I don’t think we would return to this cottage, which is a shame because the owners have clearly spent a lot of time making it an enjoyable place to stay.

• "Smaller than anticipated."

  Bed hard. In order to get out of the down stairs door we had to do a side shuffle to get past the bed. The bin smelt had not been washed. The kitchen sink had food left in the plug hole. The toaster had crumbs left in therefore did not use. It did not feel clean. Not good value for money for what we paid. Would say not big enough for 4 people. The bench in the kitchen was uncomfortable, did not think the views were as good as the site mentioned. You are over looking the railway line and car park. You can see a little of the river. The best view was the abbey. The bench outside was too uncomfortable to sit at not very welcoming at all. It would have been nice to have a table and chairs. The steam trains were very good. It would have been nice to have been welcomed with some milk after a long journey. Most places we have stayed at the owner has left milk biscuits bread, even oil and ketchup etc. No extra toilet paper only the two rolls to last the week. The good thing was the weather was lovely so we went out most days.

• "Stayed in this wondeful cottage in March this year."

  It was clean, warm, cosy and everything you could possibly want is to hand a little home form home. We were very comfortable the water was always piping hot.The mattress in the double room has recently been renewed and this made for a really comfy nights sleep. We slept better at the cottage than in any other place we've stayed. We were disappointed that the North York's Railway steam train wasn't actually running, we were a bit too early as it runs form Easter on wards (our mistake) Would have been really lovely to watch the trains from the cottage window or even on the patio. The weather was beautiful for March warm & sunny we couldn't have asked for better weather, this also made our stay as we got out and about quite a bit. Blessing that there is a designated car parking space for the cottage once we parked up we walked everywhere it was really lovely to stay in Whitby and see it when its not so hectic. Whitby is a busy vibrant place to visit but sometimes it's crazy busy. There are plenty of places to eat and drink and masses of shops to visit. Excellent little cottage we would defiantly book it again. We hoped to book the sister cottage " The Shipwrights" which is bigger for a break with friends in October but we couldn't get the dates. Maybe we'll be luckier with "The Shipwrights" next year!
