Cosy and well kept. Very clean
No back garden but wasn’t a problem
10.0 / 10.0
The character of the property, the little goodies left for us and the dog. Plus flexibility to add a late check out at last minute.
Loved everything about the property. The only thing that I can think of is the steps down to the property as I struggle with mobility, but we managed it.

The property had been very nicely renovated and the decor was pleasant and with a relaxing feel to it. It was clean and everything we needed was there. The location was good as well; very near to the sea, shops, restaurants etc.
It was very, very small! My sister and I managed, but walking sideways to get round things was a key skill that we had to acquire very quickly. The cooker hob didn’t work either or at least we couldn’t get it to work even following the instruction book. Access to the property is of course fraught with difficulties, which we fully understood when we booked our holiday, but not being able to get in when we first arrived was something that we hadn’t banked on. The key simply would not open the door! We rang
the emergency number for help but it went to answerphone. We kept trying with the key but to no
avail, so we rang the emergency number again. It went to answerphone again. In the end, as the rain came down and as we were getting increasingly perplexed as to what to do, we asked a passing
stranger for help. He managed to open the door for
us and we got in. We worked out that the door
needs to be pulled too very sharply in order for the
key to work properly. I would suggest, if I may, that
some attention needs to be given to the door and the emergency phone line needs to be properly staffed.

Lovely cosy accommodation, very comfortable bed. Close to waterfront, shops, bars and cafes.
Not really a negative - but need to be aware of low beams into bedroom and bathroom, ok for me at 5’5”, but partner had to ‘duck down’ (as cottage name implies) when entering bedroom and bathroom.

Location, clean and tidy.
It was damp and lacked ventilation, plus although advertised as low beams some the living room/ kitchen where dangerously low ( particularly the one above the cooker. )

Only the lack of parking, but it's like that all over Whitby so we expected it.

Spotlessly clean and fresh on arrival. Amazing use of a small space. Lots of nice touches; feather pillows, tea& coffee etc, chocolate biscuits and a complimentary decanter! We are non drinkers but appreciate the thought. It was a great stay and would be more than happy to return.
Obviously the low beams... my husband is over 6ft but he avoided them most of the time!

Fantastic location … better than I’d expected.
Cosy cottage with very comfortable bed. Lovely and warm … perfect for winter in Whitby!
Not that it was a problem for me … but it’s duck down cottage for a reason! Low ceilings so a problem if you are tall!

Location was excellent
10.0 / 10.0
It was cosy, clean and had everything you needed plus a few little extras to make you feel welcome. It was so quiet and it gave us time to relax. It was Rey central in the town so it made getting around really easy and the information given around best places to eat was spot on. The towels were really fluffy it is a place I would definitely stay again
Nothing everything was just right
