• "Another great stay at Platform 12."

  It's a cosy warm cottage that feels like home from home. An easy level walk into town and very close to the Whitby to Ruswarp footpath, which is a lovely walk along the river and railway track.

• "Beautiful, clean cottage with everything you could possibly need."

  It was very warm and peaceful, even the occasional steam train passing by added to it. I was a bit concerned with the back door leading into the bedroom, but it my worry was unfounded, the property is very secure with a gated fence round all the properties. We had a lovely holiday and will most likely book Platform 12 again.

• "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful little house."

  It was spotless and had everything you could need. The trains were not an issue at all, we hardly heard them. The location is perfect, just a stroll from the centre but really quiet for a good night's sleep. It's very private to sit outside with our morning coffee. We will definitely book again, found our happy place.

• "The property was great."

  Well placed in the centre of Whitby meaning the private car park space was extremely valuable! Loved the layout and has everything we needed. Just a side note and nothing to do with the property itself, but was woken on consecutive nights. Once by ‘boy racers’ in the car park opposite and then by railway engineers using chain saws at midnight!! Hopefully these were one offs and some of the ‘issues’ when staying in the location we did.

• "The house is very compact and comfortable."

  We enjoyed the passing trains very much as we were in Whitby for the Steam Gala on the NYMR. Great location and parking near the house for ease of unpacking. Comfortable sofas for sitting and watching TV. I made a mistake in thinking there was a hairdryer at the house but I couldn't find one anywhere, so you need to take your own. I know its only a small thing but could you put an ice cube tray in the freezer for next time we book Platform 12?

• "A lovely cottage in a great location."

  We enjoyed being within walking distance of the harbour, the beach and the old town. We were able to walk to Ruswarp next to the railway track and the River Esk. The cottage itself was very clean and comfortable. We very much enjoyed our short break after months of shielding and would have loved to have stayed longer.

• "This has to be one of the best places we have stayed both for location and for the facilities provided in the cottage."

  The mugs for tea were a really good size so you got a proper cuppa !!! Which is really important after travelling up :-). We loved waving out of the window at the steam trains and we was lucky enough to see the stunning firework display from the steam rally from the comfort of our cottage. All in all one of the best holidays we have ever had. Thank-you.

  It’s a nice stroll into town centre and shops supermarket etc. We loved the cottage and it was magnificently equipted with everything you need.we parked the car in our own parking space and walked everywhere which was easy as all four of us are well into our 70s. I have since recommended it to our friends and we will certainly return. Great position thanks to all who look after this cottage.

• "Platform 12 is a lovely cottage located close enough to the main part of Whitby, but away from all the hustle and bustle."

  The owners have made a real (and successful!) effort to make the cottage feel very welcoming with the well thought out pictures, ornaments and cushions etc but at the same time have managed to create an uncluttered fresh feel inside. The bed in the main room was very comfortable. The smaller bedroom is quite tight on space and perhaps would not suit 2 older teenagers or adults - but it is a comfortable, nice looking room. There is car parking (for one car) directly outside the property - which is a useful and important bonus! Having stayed in Whitby many times, this is definitely one of our preferred cottages and will be back!

• "The accommodation was brilliant with excellent facilities including a very comfortable bed (which is always my big concern)."

  It was very central. The railway ran alongside the ground floor part of the accommodation but did not cause any disturbance; trains not too frequent and it was great when the steam train would go past and we'd wave!!! A really homely cottage. A real bonus is parking. Everything within comfortable walking distance. The only thing to be aware of is steps if this is a problem.

• "Diane & Stewart have a lovely cottage, well equipped and perfectly situated for central Whitby, 2 min stroll to town."

  The trains are a nice sight and not a bother at all when they do pass. All in all platform 12 is just perfect for a short break, everything you need is provided and it’s right on the doorstep for town. My one tip would be to do your food shopping before you get there as the Co-op is the only major store close and as such you’re a hostage to their prices.

• "There were 4 adults in our party and the second bedroom was very small - probably ok for children but not so much for adults."

  Its not a complaint - just an observation and it might have even mentioned this in the advertisement and I might have missed it. Otherwise the cottage was great.

• "Beautiful little cottage and so close to the town."

  We weren’t bothered in the least by the trains, but slightly disappointed we didn’t see a steam train. Nice kitchen area and lovely bathroom. All maintained to a great standard. Great to have a parking spot too. On street parking is busy though. My husband came across after work meaning we had 2 cars. One parking space should be adequate for just about everyone though.
