    The only minor issues we had were the duvet for the double bed could have been a larger size and an assist rail above the bath would have been beneficial.

  • "Very comfortable."

    We have stayed in a few cottages in this row and this one is one of the best so far. We stayed in November and although it was cold outside the cottage was lovely and warm, The owner had left a cake, sweets and milk, plus there was coffee sachets and tea bags to welcome us. The furniture was comfortable and the cottage was immaculately clean and tastefully decorated. Off road parking right outside was a bonus. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this cottage and we will return.

    There was everything you could possibly need and the information folder was very helpful. The cottage was extremely clean the only problem there was that the single beds in the smaller room were not very comfortable. The location was perfect a short walk from the centre of town and I would definitely love to stay there again and would recommend the cottage to anyone

  • "Good position to the town ."

    Well equipped kitchen. The vendor supplied milk and a cake on arrival which was a lovely touch , thank you Unfortunately the the bathroom was sub standard . Mould on the walls ,on the fixtures ,dirty and black mould to the sealant around the bath and on the floor and skirting board ,Extensive rust to the metal fixtures and black mould to the shower door ,shower hose and vent. The jacuzzi was broken ,there were hairs and stains on the floor ,it really was not a place you wanted to wash ,I have lots of photos but unable to load on this site .Lastly you are then asked to strip your beds and dispose of your rubbish ,something I’ve never been asked to do when paying premium prices to stay somewhere, this may be standard ,but I have not come across it before . Whitby is a lovely place to stay for a bank holiday weekend

    No jug for scrambled egg etc But! Lovely quiet clean property!

    Thank you for your feedback. We take everything on board and use this to improve any future guest stays. Unfortunately on inspecting the property on your exit, it became apparent that you actually broke the shower and pulled it off the wall which made it quite difficult to use! We usually leave one bag for all bedding and it hasn't been brought up in the past but we will bare this in mind going forward. We thrive on receiving excellent feedback on the cleanliness of our property so we are pleased you found it immaculate. Thank you again for your comment. Property Owner
