Great place to stay with loads of character. Facilities were top notch too and you can just imagine the history of the building. Felt like true Whitby.

The steps into the property were very steep and there was no handrail to help you get in both myself and my wife have mobility issues and really struggled getting in and out of the property we found it dangerous for us so we only stayed one night although we paid for 2 nights and had to pay extra to check in early the heaters were very poor and only stayed on for a couple of hours before you had to restart them we were cold 🥶 there was no mention of people who had mobility problems might have problems here and the fact it was down an alley with steps at each end to get to the property, it was impossible to get my wife's mobility scooter there, it was a very disappointing weekend especially as we were celebrating or 40th wedding anniversary

Location, parking permit supplied, cleanliness, warmth, beds were extremely comfortable. Everything we need in a quaint old property was provided.
The very steep staircase will not be for everyone but was no problem to us. Apart from that we loved the property.

Location is amazing, perfect for 3 people. Very clean and had all the facilities you need. Very cosy.
Hot water was minimal. I’d didn’t last very long for both showering or washing up which in winter will be a problem. It would be nice to have a hot shower.

Great location. Easy to gain access. Good communication from letting agent. Cottage had everything we needed for a few days.
Quite loud in the evening and neighbours. Disappointed to not have shower gel and toilet roll. Obviously no parking but that is manageable.

Great location. Cosy and very clean. Had everything we needed.
The stairs are a bit steep and could do with double glazing. I know it's not in line with the cottage look, but it sounded like people in the alley were inside.

Lovely little cottage in a great location.
For the 3 days we stayed we didn’t have a a shower that worked which ruined our stay. It was reported on arrival and not fixed until we were leaving to go home. Such a shame as it would be a lovely place to stay.

Absolutely beautiful property. Cosy and comfortable and perfect for a family of four. The location was great, we could walk to everything we wanted to visit. It's really good that a parking permit is provided to park your car nearby. All the instructions provided were easy to follow and informative. I would highly recommend a stay here if visiting Whitby.
The only downside is that you can't park close to the property to unload and load bags but wasn't a major drama for us.

Thimble Cottage exceeded expectations and provided the perfect setting for a relaxing and memorable getaway. From the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by the cottage's charm and meticulous attention to detail. The cozy interior, complete with comfortable furnishings and thoughtful décor, created a warm and inviting atmosphere. The amenities were top-notch, and the kitchen was well-equipped. The comfortable beds ensured a restful night's sleep, and the spotless cleanliness throughout the cottage was truly impressive.
Shame about the rather rough pub at the end of the yard (The Station Inn) drunks staggering out all Friday and Saturday night shouting and going in the yard as they staggered around. The area was fine every other night but the town seems to be a magnet for alcoholics at weekends.

Lovely cottage. It's small but just what we needed for a family of four. Cozy seating area, good kitchen, comfortable bedrooms. It was very clean with good instructions on how to sort out things like heating. Great location in Whitby too!

Bed linen and towels were clean.
Unsafe restricted cooking area, was difficult enough with the sink next to cooker to wash mugs. Room was cold downstairs due to the front door, heating difficult to work, room too small for all the kitchen cupboards. Wasn’t pleasant or comfortable to spend an evening in.

Fantastic location, small but well appointed
There was supposed to be a parking scratch card to allow for free parking which we couldn’t find, so we ended up paying for 2 days parking

I didn’t find the spiral staircase accessible as it is quite cramped

Very cosy and immaculate. Bed comfy. Water pressure amazing. Location so close to main harbour and shops etc. loved it and would go back.
Big enough for the two of us but would feel anymore would be a squeeze.

Superb location for harbour and all amenities. Clean and well equipped cottage.
Space very limited (but name indicated this would be the case) 2 couches not particularly comfy for 4 adults . If you are a light sleeper and on the upper floor the noise from the local night club and early morning seagull chorus may disturb you.

Location was great cosy little cottage everything we needed very quiet nicely decorated
Shame about all the cigarette ends on the entrance down the alley which probably was to do with the pub on the corner there was also a lot of water coming from the drain of the cottage next door which gave a unpleasant smell at times
