"Lovely stay with fantastic outlook beside the River , and the added bonus of the Steam train passing !"
brilliant stay. Couple of points,
It would benefit with a half Freezer to use ,instead of tiny fridge compartment, and also the Sofa seats were so worn flat, and low down they became uncomfortable after a bit
and difficult to get up from . Bathroom door needs attention , as very noisy to close and try to lock , ok in the day , but a pain in the middle of the night if your trying not to disturb others.

"Everything we needed to enjoy our holiday was there at the cottage."
Particularly enjoyed the decking overhanging the river during the fabulous weather. A lovely village situation with so many places easy to reach from our base. Great riverside tearoom only minutes walk away.

"Great location, easy flat walk into Whitby."
Patio overlooking river, good for watching ducks.You can also see steam trains passing. Only downside of patio is a bit of road noise but this didn't spoil my enjoyment. Good off road parking for two cars. The only slight negative is the sitting room seating which is a massive corner couch which neither my partner or I found comfortable and there was no alternative. On the whole a very well set up holiday cottage for a couple or a small family.

"Eskview cottage is in an ideal location for visiting Whitby and the surrounding area."
The cottage was lovely and clean and comfortable with all the amenities that are needed. Great patio area with seating and lighting that overlooks the river and railway line. There is a café in the village overlooking the river, great place for a snack or light meal, also serves limited alcoholic drinks. Found a footpath into Whitby along the side of the railway line, its a flat walk that takes about 20 mins.
Happy to recommend a stay at the property, added bonus of private parking, which is rare in Whitby.

"Very warm and comfortable cottage with good parking."
We loved the new kitchen and the new bedlinen. To make the kitchen even better, we suggest some cups and saucers, a sieve, and a good sized kitchen knife. Sadly the settee in the sitting room is very ugly and uncomfortable especially if you have a bad back. Why not replace it with smaller settees, put the dining table in the sitting room and that would leave room for a dish washer in the kitchen.

"Lovely place to stay - there is a train station just a very short walk away that takes you into whitby - only a 6 min ride."
The steam train passes by so you can watch it. All good. Lots of ducks around on the river to watch. The house is very comfortable and well set up For visitors. Thank you for letting us share it with our grandchildren.

"We had such a lovely stay, the cottage was perfectly clean and comfortable and had everything we needed."
The deck at the back over the river is great, we really enjoyed eating outside with the ducks and trains to watch. It's so useful being able to park right next to the house for loading/unloading kids straight into the garden, and there are so many places/activities close by. We'll definitely be back!

"Cottage was very good with a couple of exceptions."
The patio furniture was NOT suitable. It was uncomfortable and impractical..
Toaster only did one side.
Not a lot else wrong.
The pub was close by and served food. (A better pub was a short drive away, The STABLES at cross butts.)
Furniture was comfy. Bed was good. Kitchen was well equipped, (except the toaster)
Great fun feeding the ducks.
Cottage is centrally located for nice drives out.

"Our second visit here, we love the setting and the house is just right."
No problem with parking in Whitby as the bus ride is perfect . The walk down the side of the railway line and river is lovely. Will definitely book here again. One drawback is the very noisy floor boards which can’t be avoided in the middle of the night.

"This is our second time to this cottage and it was just as good as we remembered it, clean cosy and very welcoming."
There was milk in the fridge and some lovely biscuits (thank you). We love the view over the river Esk and having the ducks arrive on your doorstep each morning was brilliant for our 4 year old daughter. The only negative is the creaky floorboards on the landing/bathroom but this is a very small price to pay for a fantastic holiday. We hope to be back next year:-)

"A nice cottage with an outstanding view."
The daily passage of steam powered trains was very nostalgic especially as they passed within yards of the kitchen window. Having stayed in several cottages we found that a comment book for visitors was useful. Desirable information such as good places to eat, interesting places to visit and nice walks were passed on. However, this is the first time this was not available and although we found our way around such information would have been appreciated on first arriving. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this cottage.

"Beautiful location and very clean, well equipped, lovely, tastefully furnished cottage with a lot of thoughtful extras like roses on the table, milk in the fridge and biscuits."
Very friendly neighbours and 2 minutes from the bus stop if you don't want to take the car into Whitby, though you can catch the train or easily walk in alongside the railway line. There is a lot of wildlife to watch as you relax with your glass of wine on the decking and stones to sit on to cool your feet in the river. The only niggle is extraordinarily squeaky floorboards which are impossible to sidestep, but the rest of the cottage makes up for this small deficiency. Would definitely recommend.
