    "Had a great week in whitby here."

    We only had one wee issue couldn't get connected to the WiFi we just used 4g then tapped into WiFi wherever we were so not a problem. House was fantastic wanted to book it for same time next year but almost double in price so I guess not , which we were sad about. Highly recommend, perfect.

    Thanks for your lovely feedback. Sorry about the WiFi which after battling with our service provided has been fixed by replacing the faulty router. Property Owner

    "We had a week at the police house and thoroughly enjoyed it."

    House is even better than the pictures , spacious and very clean and comfortable. Having its own off street parking is a real bonus in Whitby and being walking distance from the town centre and the cinder path meant we hardly moved the car. We will return as we love Whitby and this house is one if the best we have stayed in.

    Very comfortable and cosy and has everything you would possibly need. The garden appears perfect for dogs (unfortunately I lost mine after booking this holiday) and would be great to sit and relax in. It is close to Whitby town centre and the walk to and back is very pleasant. I definitely recommend this cottage and will definitely book again. Thank you.

    "Fantastic property - ideally located to walk into Whitby albeit uphill the last half mile going back to the property."

    Great parking space. A well equipped & very clean property. Downstairs double bedroom with bathroom right next to it so ideal for people with less mobility. Fantastic shower. Peacefully located. Bungalow located in Eskdale Road just off Larpool Lane. Only suggestion maybe install grab handle in downstairs shower cubicle & blinds on patio door as a little overlooked. I would highly recommend this property 5*

    "A smart and deceptively spacious property which would appear to have been refurbished very recently."

    The double bed was comfy but we have to agree with a previous review that the sofas were less so. It is ideal for dog owners with its enclosed patio and proximity to the Cinder Track and the centre of Whitby. The owner kindly allowed us to arrive before 5 p.m.

    Thanks for your positive feedback. Having taken a good look at the sofas we agree and have just replaced them with brand new ones. Thanks. Property Owner

    "We had a lovely stay in this property which was conveniently situated to Whitby and many interesting and varied attractions in the area."

    The house was well equipped for cooking meals. The furnishings were modern and very clean, and the whole property had a cosy feel. The size of the upstairs shower was a little tight but the water was hot at all times.The proximity to the Cinder Path meant we could walk easily in two directions and beyond from the property. It is a property that I would recommend to my family and friends.

    "We had a lovely time at this cottage."

    We were very happy with the amenities. The only problem was the two settees had seen better days. So much so that they were very uncomfortable to sit on. They really were the only spoiler for us. The cottage is so well situated for all the attractions in Whitby. We also went along to Scarborough Beach for the day. There were lots of attractions there for families it was lovely. We have a dog who had a great time on the detached and around town as it is so dog friendly.

    Thank you for the positive feedback which we welcome. I'm sorry you found an issue with the seating. This hasn't been flagged as an issue before so were unawsre. we will take a look and see what we can do to improve the situation. Thanks again. Just an addition we've replaced the sofas with two brand new ones. Property Owner
