White Goose Cottage

A lovely house in a beautiful setting surrounded by some lovely walks and stunning landscapes.

The house has all you need and feels like a home. It is very peaceful yet not too far from the town centre and local amenities. We will definitely be booking here again!

We have stayed hear a few times now It's a beautiful place.

But since dogs have been allowed to stay in the cottage things do need to be cleaned better I have nothing against dogs but if you are letting your property to people without dogs it needs a good clean. Unfortunately the house smelt of wet dog we used shake and vac and some other pet deodoriser to try to remove the smell but when we used the hoover it was full of dog hair. So a proper clean would have made things a lot better.

Nice cottage well placed near the river .

Short drive into whitby and all facilities

The cottage was very comfortable and pleasant views, the sky tv was a bonus.

A lovely well maintained property in a stunning riverside location.

Perfectly positioned for easily visiting all the town's, villages and attractions you would want in the North Yorshire area. If you like to walk out in the evening to eat or drink this may not be the place for you if your not fit and used to walking up hills, the climb from the cottage to the main road is severe and then it's another hilly walk of 30 mins into whitby. Taxis seem to be easy to book and relatively cheap so ideal for nights out if you want to try one of the many bars and restaurants whitby has to offer. All in all a great holiday and lively place to stay.

Very nice but as the property also allows dogs it needs to be cleaned better and a carpet freshener to get rid of the smell.

The light in the corner next to the couch is full of dead flies which glow in the room when the light is switched on. Also it would be nice if the utensils were sharp eg: Knives for cutting etc. But we have stayed here a few times and if these little faults were sorted it would be perfect.

Lovely location and property, just what was needed

Comfortably cosy.

Nice position by the River Esk. We knew about the steep hill up to the viaduct so were prepared!

Very nice house in lovely settings, a quiet location close to the estuary and complete with resident Heron and gulls.

The welcome pack and bottle of wine was a lovely surprise, and we found everything we needed to make our time there comfortable and relaxing. The house was spotlessly clean, the kitchen was well equipped and the furniture and beds were very comfortable. We had a very relaxing week at the cottage which we found within easy walking distance into Whitby town along the Cinder Track, or into the open countryside walking in the opposite direction. Car parking at the cottage was also a welcome bonus. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nice relaxing break.

Fantastic stay, the property lived up to expectations.

Beautiful, location. Would recommend.

the cottage and site are excellent .

what I don't like is not being able to book in until 3pm this is your first day ruined

White Goose Cottage is a lovely, homely cottage perfectly situated to take in the spectacular Larpool viaduct.

We were lucky with the weather for the week were we there, so we’re able to take full advantage of the first floor balcony, overlooking part of the river Esk and the assorted bird life which can be seen throughout the day (not forgetting the trains!). The cottage is fully equipped with all you need to have a comfortable stay and we were even able to feed the local ducks from the front room. Whilst the hike up the hill to the main road, and to access the viaduct path into Whitby, is not very easy, it’s worth it for the views from the viaduct and the fairly short walk into Whitby itself. All in all, we had a lovely experience for our holiday and would definitely recommend this as a great place to stay.

Great communication from owner.

Lovely cottage, well equipped. Bed really comfy. Loved sitting on the balcony with a cuppa. Really peaceful by the river. Loads to do in Whitby. Would love to stay again in the future. Thank you.

Had a lovely relaxing week at White Goose Cottage in a beautiful setting.

The cottage is very cosy and very well equipped with everything we needed. Lovely walk into Whitby with a huge selection of places to eat….. thankfully I didn’t have to cook…… Terry’s was one of our favourites for Fish and Chips….. and doggy friendly too. Weather was quite good considering time of year but when you’re prepared it’s not a problem. Highly recommended. We loved it and hope to return in the near future.

We recently booked this house for my Mums birthday present.

She really enjoyed herself. Even when the weather wasn’t great, she could sit and enjoy the beautiful view, or drive into Whitby. There’s a lovely walk over the viaduct as well, which is a great way to get into town. The house was clean, warm and had everything needed for a week away. The owner was really helpful and friendly by email. We’d definitely book again.

Lovely property situated in beautiful and quiet surroundings.

Property is clean and tidy with everything and probably more needed for a stay. Definitely would recommend for a holiday.

The cottage was a good base to explore Whitby.

It had everything we needed and we would use again if visiting Whitby

White goose cottage makes a good first impression, standards are good everywhere except the kitchen.

Lovely location, comfy sofas, slept well. Common self catering issues with mirrors too high, no sockets and tables near mirrors, not enough bedside lamps, tired furniture. Quite a few maintenance issues throughout which have been raised directly with the owner, nothing that would be a deal breaker. Although we had a pleasant week, we didn't have an acceptable start to our holiday, for that reason I would not return to this cottage, but I would return to this location. Having to spend our first night cleaning kitchen cupboards and washing anything we intended to use is a dealbreaker for us. Cracked, chipped, marked, dirty dinner sets, dirty glasses, dirty cutlery and dirty pans are completely unacceptable. Needs replacing or washing properly. Far too much stuff, cupboards so full you have nowhere to put your food. If there was less stuff, more empty cupboard space, it would be easier to wipe shelves between guests and check all items are clean. Some of the grime build up goes back weeks. Pity I can't share pictures! You'll have to trust me when I say you would not want to cook in those pans, eat off those plates, or drink from those glasses until you've picked out the best of the worst and put it through an intense wash cycle. I wonder if the areas we had issues with are areas that guests are given responsibility for and it really needs adding to the cleaners list (who did a very good job on cooker, fridge, freezer, and kitchen counters). Such a shame for the cottage to be let down and undervalued by something so simple to keep on top of.

It was a lovely place to stay my only criticism is ,need a mat on bathroom floor and in bath as it was very slippery apart from that I would definitely recommend the cottage as a great place to stay.

A nice property situated next to the river at the bottom of the viaduct (used only as a foot path and a nice feature to the landscape).

Very peaceful setting with lovely views of the river from the living room and balcony. Whitby is about half hour walk away on the Cinder Track which is pretty flat and paved (although you have quite a hill at the start to get from the house to the viaduct and onto the Cinder Track) . House was lovely and warm with heating already on on our arrival. The accommodation is nicely furnished if nothing special. The two down sides were the hot water was hit and miss and the spare room is a tad small (fine for our 3 year old but would be on the small side for teenagers and adults). All in all we had a great stay and will book again.

Gorgeous property in a lovely location by the river.

Wonderful caring host Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing break

Enjoyed our stay nice location and views from cottage pleasant cottage to stay I

We contacted the owner direct with a couple of minor suggestions.

We have stayed in White Goose Cottage before so knew what to expect.

Everything was good but was dismayed to find that the owner no longer provided towels which also meant that no floor towel in the bathroom or tea towels. Also we were sure that previously there were fleeces and a foot stall in the living area but alas not this time. However, we enjoyed our stay and the setting, ambiance and location made it a very relaxing time.

Fabulous cottage, spotlessly clean, modern and comfortable.

Very quiet and idyllic location, only the bird song to be heard.

The cottage was fantastic, really well equipped, comfortable and clean, and in the loveliest setting, by the river.

It was very tranquil, and allowed us to have a relaxed, quiet holiday. It was only a short walk into Whitby, and a longer, but well recommended walk on the cinder track to Robin Hoods Bay. It was about 6 miles, but a really easy walk with lovely views towards the end. Whitby never disappoints, even in a pandemic, and White Goose Cottage was a lovely place to stay.

Great location overlooking the River Esk.

Loved the balcony. The property was comfortable, warm and well equipped. We had our original booking for a different property cancelled due to change of ownership which caused a bit of stress. Regarding the key code for White Goose Cottage, we hadn't been given it by mid week and as we were due to travel over on the Friday, I had to ring up and pursue it.

Really good cottage in a wonderful location, very well maintained and very welcoming.

very enjoyable.
