  • "This house was very clean, and was warm and comfy."

    It had all the necessary fixtures and fittings that one would expect. The bedrooms were a nice size and there was plenty of wardrobe and cupboard space. There were modern good quality TVs in the lounge and all of the bedrooms. The broadband seemed quite fast and was reliable. There was room for my large car on the drive. I have stayed at plenty of places in Whitby before with limited or no parking so this was most welcome. It’s a 2 minute drive to the town or the supermarket, or a ten to 15 minute walk. Our only criticism was the sofas in the living room. We didn’t feel that they were particularly comfortable. It took a while to use the available cushions strategically so as to get comfy. Not really a game changer and our subjective opinion of course. As holiday houses go it was very good value for money. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Whitby.

  • "Hawthorn Cottage was a lovely property, well-located as a base from which to explore Whitby."

    It was exceptionally clean and very well-equipped, with nice welcome-treats and very good supplies of holiday essentials. Our party’s small car fitted ok on the little drive and the larger car was parked in one of the communal places. We enjoyed a walk on the nearby Cinder Track and also strolled into Whitby: downhill on the way in, uphill on the way back! We had our small dog with us (allowed, as per the description). It did not state that the outdoor areas were enclosed, and they definitely weren’t: the front was open and the back had a low, open fence which small dogs could get through. Although the location was very pleasant, there is a very large building development underway right behind the property. There was no work taking place during New Year when we stayed, but it could be a little noisy at other times. We personally found the double beds rather hard and really struggled with the size of the under the counter sized fridge with freezer compartment when our Sainsbury’s delivery for six adults arrived! Overall though, a lovely property. Thank you.

    The house is ideally located for walking into Whitby, the cinder trail, and neighbouring village. Hawthorn was well maintained, clean, quiet and had all the facilities one could ask for and more, in fact some rooms we never used. Nearby Whitby has much to offer and we took advantage of the local bus service, which was excellent and the North Yorkshire Railway, a little nostalgic travelling on both the steam railway and a diesel from the past. I don't normally write reviews, but felt in this case it justified the review as Hawthorn was one of the better properties we have stayed in , the weather was good and local facilities were excellent. We will certainly be returning! (A plus side was our dog was accepted wherever we went and the local people were not only friendly but helpful.)

    Very well appointed and although we took our own condiments and washing machine liquid it was already supplied by the owner which is an added luxury. The house is situated in a quiet modern estate and although no views of Whitby it was lovely and quite so we felt very well rested. It’s a good 10 minute walk into Town and we enjoyed the walk in which is all downhill. It is a fairly steep walk back up again but again we enjoyed that. We did get a taxi one evening and it was only £5 and there are lots available. We took our dog Belle and she loved it too. Underfloor heating downstairs was a real bonus as the weather was a little cool and made the house so warm and cosy. On another note I had advised we were there to celebrate my 50th Birthday and on entering the house I found a bottle of Prosecco, Balloon & Birthday Card which I thought was a lovely touch. There were also fresh flowers in the house which was another lovely touch. We loved our stay so much we have booked again for next year. I can’t recommend this house enough. The owners should feel very proud.
