Whalebone Cottage at Broadings Farm

Been going to broadings farm for the last eight years and will Carry on into the near future already booked for 2026

Stayed here mid July 2025 as a family of 8 and two dogs.

The cottage is plenty big enough for everyone to have enough space. There is ample parking for 3 cars and a gate that closes to secure dogs. We did take long leads just in case. The cottage was clean and tidy, likely recently decorated, could smell the new carpets (not in a bad way!). The kitchen looked pretty new too and everything in it to cook your own meals if you don’t intend to eat out/order in. The owners were very nice and checked all was ok as they walked past. It’s just over a mile to Whitby, the walk is down hill so pretty easy. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and hopefully be back at some point!

Lovely accommodation and everything we needed.

Comfortable and homely feeling. Nice bedding and plenty of towels provided. Great location. Brilliant for adults and children alike

A lovely homely cottage very well situated for trips into town but also for day trips to nearby places of interest.

All in all a lovely relaxing holiday and we would deffinately book again.

A lovely spacious cottage, perfectly situated for Whitby.

Very well equipped and beautifully clean. Would definitely recommend and plan to revisit next year.

It was a great property for us with a big golden retriever and two grandchildren.

It was spacious and comfortable but not luxurious . We liked the fact that it felt lived in and we weren’t having to feel worried about things. It had been well cleaned before we arrived and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was generally well equipped but more crockery would have been good. We would happily go back there.

Very relaxing feels like home from home.

Beautiful renovation to property

What a wonderful find!

Beautiful surroundings, fantastic house enjoyed by all the family including the dogs, the house was full of everything we needed and more! Close enough to Whitby town itself and all the amenities. Fantastic views of the Abbey and beautiful sunsets at night. Perfect getaway from the hussle and bussle of everyday life.

We had a very enjoyable stay at this delightful cottage and would have no hesitation in staying again.

The welcome pack was a lovely touch. It was clean to a very high standard and the beds extremely comfortable. The downstairs living area was spacious and comfortable. With the outside area as well it meant we could sit outside too, or play ball with our 7 year old granddaughter. I would certainly recommend this lovely cottage.

Lovely &nice personal touches

Whalebone cottage was great for our family stay ,everything you need is there,beds and linen lovely and clean.

There was a crack in one of the living room windows,it would have been nice to see a person instead of key safe entry,but never the less a fun stay was had by all the family .

Lovely cottage in beautiful location.

Kitchen is quite small for eight people especially with the table in it. It would be better if the table was in the huge lounge so eight could comfortably sit round it and put some extra worktops in thr kitchen. Bedrooms and bathrooms lovely with spectacular views but be careful of the headspace.

The property is in a great location.

The facilities are great, everything you need and more! The cottage was very clean and the decor, soft furnishings, bedding etc were all of a high standard. The only thing we were disappointed with was the size of the kitchen. The large table & chairs (big enough to seat 8 people) takes up too much space, especially when you've got several people moving around in the kitchen. It would be better if the table & chairs were moved to the large spacious living room in my opinion. Apart from that we couldn't fault anything else and would recommend the property for people looking to explore the Whitby area.

Couple of cobwebs on windows!

!! Big ones! Faulty light switch but apart from that it's was lovely. Warm, spacious. Christmas tree and decorations were put up for us. Fabulous views upstairs. I'd definitely go again.

Have stayed here quite a few times now and we love it here!

Lovely property.

Kept so nice .. .Dave and his wife, the owners, were so nice and friendly, we were even invited to have a cuppa in their home !!!

nice property everything you need owner always on hand if any problems arose great stay

We have a lovely week at the cottage.

Everything was as described/pictured. Great location with short walk to beaches/Whitby centre. The cottage was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed

Usually use smaller broadings cottage but this year we found the larger cottage was more equipped and we will be using this one again and already booked for next year

We had a great holiday.

The only issue was the kitchen facilities. There wasn't enough equipment to cook for eight people. The cottage was clean and the lounge was very spacious. The front garden was secure, for both dogs and grandchildren. We had a great time, would go back.

Absolutely loved it.

Very clean and comfortable Our only criticism would be that the kitchen was small for 8 people

We had a great stay, perfect for our family from grandparents to grand children.

Well equipped. Would come again. Thanks for a good stay

Lovely location, perfect for what we needed.

With all the icy weather and snow would have been nice to have access a shovel and some salt to make walkways a bit safer.

This is one of the best family holidays we have had.

You will need a car, but what an amazing place. The welcome pack of coffee tea milk and biscuits was lovely. The caretaker, could not do enough for us, and finding out I was not too well, even offered to go to the local pharmacy to pick up my prescription. The farm owner was really friendly and made sure the property was well maintained. A lovely cottage with lots of comfortable seating, very comfy beds, really good heating system. They had even put a Christmas tree and lights up! our family will definitely book again. Thank you for our wonderful time there.

Fab place - our second visit - and already booked again for early in the new year!

Lovely cottage —.

sorry but the double bed mattress was not comfortable for us at all .. The amenities were very good the location was very good enjoyed ..

had a fantastic stay, the only thing I would mention is that the pillows smelt a little like greasy hair on the double bed on right hand side bedroom, so we just took some off the spare single beds in one of the twin rooms, maybe they need a quick wash when bedding is washed or replacing?

the accommodation was perfect for our stay and would have no hesitation booking here again if ever we visit North Yorkshire again in future or will recommend to friends if they need someone if they plan to visit north yorks

Great position for both Whitby and surrounding countryside.

Comfortable cottage and friendly owners

This was our 3rd stay at whalebone cottage which was lovely as always.

The cottage was very clean as usual and had everything we needed. We would have liked to have hoovered up more but the hoover ball kept sticking and only worked if you pulled it backwards. One morning the hot water wasn't working....your plumber was there within half an hour and was quickly sorted, thankyou

Superb holiday - lovely accommodation, great location - no complaints!

Thanks

Whalebone Cottage sits on the outskirts of Whitby and is ideally located for visiting the North Yorkshire moors and coastline.

The cottage is spacious and very homely and is lovely to come back to after a few hours spent exploring the area. The setting is scenic with fields all around and quiet most of the time (even though a main road runs behind it). Having taken our two dogs with us, the dog walking fields being part of the farmland were a huge bonus. The owners David and Margaret were very friendly and approachable, there if you need anything but leave you to enjoy your holiday. Would 100% recommend Whalebone Cottage!

Once again a lovely time was had by all.

Property was fab - whole family had a great time.

We love Whitby - have been many times - and this is a great place to stay - especially with dogs - in fact we’ve already booked whalebone cottage again for October!

We were absolutely delighted with our stay at Whalebone Cottage in Whitby!

The cottage was immaculately clean, very cozy and had every amenity you could wish for. It had everything! Thank you Broadings Farm, you made our New Year celebrations truly memorable.

Lovely cottage.

Brilliant location gorgeous views. Close to Whitby and moors and shops. Very well equipped. Warm and comfortable. Loved it. Highly recommended.

Well sized cottage with beautiful views over the countryside and a nice walk into Whitby although the council could do to lay a path right up to the entrance and again a path up to the Stables inn would be nice.

The bathrooms were excellent and having the one down stairs as my 9 year old grand daughter has Cerebral Palsy made life so much easier. Comfortable beds but be aware the roof sloping if you are not careful is headache material. Plenty of parking space and a enclosed garden gave the grand children a nice play area. A nice dog walk area was a help in the mornings Loved the cottage and would definitely go back with the family. One little thing and didn't realise till the day we were coming home there was no bags to put the linen and towels as it stated in the book

Lovely cottage, very clean and great facilities.

Good location with lovely view.

Property owners very helpful when needed. Generous sitting room. Parking provision good. Only drawback was sloping roofs of bedrooms for some - quite a few head bumps (and we’re not giants). Relaxing holiday though.

We had a great week at whalebone cottage lovely views from the garden everything you needed included in the cottage great base for exploring North Yorkshire.

Definitely will be booking again

Holiday home was excellent, very comfortable and very well located.

One admin point, your website says NO internet but in fact there is an excellent internet service. Need to change your webpage to avoid putting potential customers off

I’ve been before and I will go again it is great l can recommend it to anyone

Lovely cottage .

Friendly owners Great location for Whitby and the moors . Cottage was warm and cozy and of a high standard

Felt like home from home.

Well equipped beautiful cottage. The pictures don't do the cottage justice. Outstanding views. Great base for a short (yet hilly!) walk in to Whitby and easy access to the surrounding area.We found there was plenty to do in the area for families.

Whalebone cottage is an ideal place to stay because there is easy access to all the coastal towns and villages

Cottage was very comfortable although the sloping bedroom roofs were a bit of a challenge.

It had everything needed except for a bath mat to prevent slipping whilst showering in the bath. However this was rectified immediately when reported thank you. Perhaps a little chicken wire around the perimeter would be an idea for very small dogs like ours so we could make more use of the garden. Brilliant location for walking to Whitby and accessing major routes by car too

This is the 5th time we have stayed at Whalebone Cottage and received the usual friendly, helpful welcome by the owners.

We had a fantastic start to the summer holidays staying with the children at Whalebone Cottage.

It’s in a great location for exploring Whitby and nearby places. We are keen to return again next year. Margaret the owner was very friendly and helpful and they additional cot and high chair was waiting for us as requested. The Cottage was very clean with excellent facilities. We would highly recommend a stay at Whalebone Cottage

The owners are so helpful without being intrusive.

Lovely space for big family group. Pans could be s bit bigger for a cottage that sleeps 8 but otherwise excellent in all respects

We loved this cottage.

Very cosy and comfortable, it has everything you need. The location is excellent, peaceful and quiet and within easy reach of Whitby and other local attractions. I'm sure we will come back again soon.

Fantastic location for Whitby and the cottage is situated which makes it easy to explore lots eg Robin hoods bay, Goatland , Sandsend and many more.

A Beautiful area. The cottage is as listed, and the bedrooms are very light and comfortable. The Lounge area is spacious and comfortable. The kitchen has all that you need and can fit six in easy to eat. Would return there.

Excellent stay at Whalebone cottage.

Really peaceful and enjoyable place. Pub up the road was excellent and can take the dog in. Quick blast into Whitby and enjoyed by all. Thank you.

A lovely cottage warm clean and comfortable.

Our second visit and will be booking for next year .

Had a brilliant weekend at Whalebone cottage.

The facilities were amazing, a well equipped kitchen with tea, coffee and sugar. Soap for the dishwasher and laundry stuff for if we needed to use the washer and dryer. There was even a lovely packet of cookies waiting for us. There was plenty of seating for all 8 of us in the sitting room. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. My 6 year old wanted to live there permanently. All in all we had a brill weekend celebrating my husbands 40th Birthday. We would definitely stay at Whalebone cottage again.

Great cottage, close to park and ride, very affordable, very friendly owners, will be booking again!

Beautiful cottage spotlessly clean very comfortable home from home owners fantastic everything you could wish for pity it's not for sale

No concerns about this property.

We have stayed at Whalebone Cottage for a summer holiday for 4 years on the run now. The owners are always lovely, very welcoming and helpful. My family really look forward to our 'family holiday' in Whitby and staying at Whalebone cottage. We will be booking again for next year very soon.

The cottage is large and well equipped.

It is very comfortable downstairs, however the slope to all of the bedroom ceilings meant that although the rooms looked spacious for at least a quarter of the room I couldn’t stand upright and I am only 5 foot tall. My husband and the rest of the party are much taller than me so they had more of a problem. I can’t comment on the owners as I didn’t meet them. The information in the welcome book needs a bit of an update. That said we did enjoy our holiday and will be returning to Whitby in the future.

There is a park and ride into Whitby just ten minutes walk away or two minute drive.

Very handy. Although immediately next to a caravan site, there was no disturbance at all. A little walk through garden with chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs was brilliant for the children. A really excellent, dog walking field. All in all a really good base.

We had a great time this cottage it was very nice and comfortable.

The people who owned the cottage were very nice and could not do enough to help.Nothing was to much for them.the area is spot on.

A very warm and comfortable cottage.

It had everything we needed for our weekend in Whitby and was ideally situated being only a mile from Whitby and a short walk from an excellent pub serving delicious meals. Our party of 8 all agreed they wanted a return visit to this cottage.

The cottage had everything we needed was well equiped in a good loction for Whitby and touring the area

Perfectly situated to enjoy all that Whitby had to offer .

The cottage was warm and comfortable. We were able to stay an extra night when the snow made it difficult to get home . The owners were very friendly and welcoming.

A beautiful cottage with everything you need.

Very kind and friendly owner. The cottage is in a beautiful spot that is really handy to get to lots of different places. Highly recommend Sandsend if you go with children who love the beach.

whalebone cottage had everything and more than we expected from this holiday cottage

Had a lovely Holiday at Whalebone cottage , and the owners were lovely friendly [ep[le and very helpfull would love to go again

A really great location, every thing we needed for a relaxing holiday.

Hopefully we will be able to return for a longer break

What a beautiful cottage.

Very clean and homely. Would strongly recommend this property for a relaxing stay. Very good value for the standard and location

Very good property,spacious,flexible and well layed out.

Our party came in dribs and drabs but not a problem with owner who was helpful but not in your face. Garden area very secure which is important when dogs are in party.

the cottage was fine for a week.

the weather was fantastic and the coastline beautiful.
