    Property was ok we enjoyed our stay and yes we would stay again as a couple the bed in the ensuite room was ok but the second double is small and not very comfy certainly not a place for people with wheelchairs mobility issues very steep hill down to the town wouldnt suit anyone unsteady on there legs also stone steps we was lucky and had a dry week wouldnt use them if wet could become very slippery

    Thanks for your review. Hopefully the listing makes it clear that it’s steep around the property and not suitable if you have mobility issues. Property Owner

  • "Boulby Bank is a lovely holiday cottage in a great location."

    It's obvious a great deal of care and thought has gone into the property. It had everything we needed for our stay. Parking space is a big plus. Would just like to mention that the radiator in the en suite bedroom doesn't get hot.

    Thanks for your lovely feedback, I wonder if someone has turned the radiator valve down. I’ll get this checked. Property Owner

  • "Very home comforting feel when you arrive."

    Outdoor area could do with slight higher walling for more privacy. Entrance to parking bays should be slightly wider because of awkward slope.

  • "Quite a nice little set up, clean and comfortable and very close to the centre, parking wasn't too bad of an issue down the slope, the bottom step out from the car park needs some attention though."

    Overall me and the wife (& little doggie) had an enjoyable stay.

    Thanks for your lovely feedback. We’ll take a look at that step. Property Owner

  • "Great little property but wouldn't recommend for anyone with mobility issues."

    However if you do not have mobility issues it's well placed, easy to get into town and is a nice place with good amenities. The master bedroom bed is too hard for my liking but that's obviously personal preference. Everything was clean and everything worked. There were some stones on the mantle piece so we added one from our collection.

    Thanks for your kind words Michael and thankyou for your gift. Property Owner

    (5 - 10 minutes) Yes the car park is steep but this is detailed in the listing. We have a compact suv so navigated the car park ok. We found it very clean on arrival and the space was just perfect for what we needed.

    Thankyou Sally. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

  • "This is an excellent cottage with all you need."

    We would love to stay there again if it was in a lower position in Whitby. This is due to us having poor mobility

    Thankyou for your 5* review Christine. It can be tricky for people with mobility issues. We find that walking up the footpath towards the Abbey and down the steps near the donkey field is the easiest way into town. Property Owner

  • "The Cottage is comfortable and well maintained ."

    Very clean and the Crockery and Cutlery were immaculate. Ideally situated for the Town Centre although the steep incline to The Harbour could be a problem for some Guests..The only downside was The Parking .Our Car is not very high off the ground so I did not chance the steep incline to the allocated Parking space . I did however find a Parking space on The Ropery about 100 yards away which was fine. All in all a great Property and good location.

    Thanks for your review David. The parking space is tricky but there is usually some space on the Ropery as you’ve discovered. Property Owner

    The drive to the property was dangerous as in a broken driveway and the cleaners turned up 30 mins before and had an attitude I will not be going back

    You asked if you could check out late, which unfortunately we could not accommodate due to another party checking in the same day. The cleaners did not arrive early, they were on time. Neighbours also told us that you were swearing at the cleaners which we do not find acceptable. The drive is steep, which we are aware of and is confirmed in the listing. Property Owner

    It is in walking distance to the attractions and the harbour. The property was clean and tidy and had all we needed for a lovely break. Many thanks.

  • "Cottage is in perfect location with short walk to harbour."

    ( maybe not for someone with walking difficulties) Drive is a bit tricky but a rare plus for location. I’d recommend max 3 adults for space and comfort. Cottage was clean and well equipped, beds were comfy and we slept very well. We would highly recommend this cottage as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay

  • "Very enjoyable stay but a few pointers."

    Insructions for use of TV are not correct. If you follow instructions on card it says to use source button and scroll fown and highlight scart, incorrect. TV will only show channel on HDMI 1, HDMI 2 is for the X box with which to watch either Netflix or Youtube. Also it should be mentioned that to watch Netflix you need to have your account password to use and although I use an X box at home I feel lots of people will struggle using the controller to complete any tasks ! Sky is only for the WiFi, not anything else even though this is written down on the card !!! Also feel that the bench outside and the patio could do with a jetwash as after any rain the floor is quite slippy and even after wiping feet it's difficult not to walk ang Green slime in, the bench suffers from this as well, staining your clothes! All in all a very nice, cosy and comfortable cottsge in an ideal location. Thank you, Linda.

  • "Loved the apartment and location."

    . The only downside is the parking which is quite awkward. Although there is a parking bay it's awful to get down to. One day there were 2 cars parked in 1 bay and my husband really struggled getting out. Really needs to state on each bay that only 1 car can be parked there. It also needs levelling off and resurfacing, as the bottom of our car hit the uneven surface quite a few times.

Just a short walk from a range of amenities and a mile to the beach, this two-bedroom abode is perfect for a family of three or a couple seeking a central position in this seaside town.

Step into the kitchen and discover everything you need to whip up a storm, with a range of integrated appliances, before wandering through to the living/dining room, a haven for unwinding with a plush sofa, wall-mounted TV and electric fire.

Head to the bathroom and laze away the evening with soak in the tub.

As the night draws in, retire to two beautifully appointed bedrooms; a double with en-suite shower room and a smaller double, both featuring a set of drawers to store your personal belongings.

Whitby is steeped in history and there is an abundance of sightseeing opportunities that visitors can enjoy.

Why not take a hike up to the ruins of Whitby Abbey, admire the view and wonder in its history, or take a guided tour of the iconic Whalebone Arch?

Follow in the footsteps of Captain Cook, explore the old fishing harbour, visit the swing bridge, stroll along the pier, take a shopping trip to the cobbled streets of Church Street, and indulge in a traditional fish and chips.

Also within reach is the charming village of Robin Hood's Bay, where visitors can discover its hidden coves, walk the local trails or just take in the quaint atmosphere.

For a vibrant day out, take a trip to the seaside town of Scarborough which offers an abundance of activities, from the historic Scarborough Castle, Peasholm Park to the Scarborough Open Air Theatre, plus a range of attractions and eateries.

4 Boulby Bank Top is the perfect accommodation for a break away to Whitby and its surrounding area.

Amongst its many attractions, Whitby holds a charming atmosphere, home to winding streets and hidden alleys, where you can find a wide selection of eateries and shops scattered amongst them. Take a trip to the picturesque harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun set or get involved in some whale watching or a coastal cruise to watch the creatures up close. Climb the famous 199 steps to the Whitby Abbey to immerse yourself with history, or visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum presenting historical and ethnographic exhibition about Cook himself. Close to the Robin Hood's Bay, rich in heritage, wonders and scenic spots, and in easy reach of the bustling towns of Scarborough and Middlesbrough, Whitby is a prime location for exploring all of the delights that Yorkshire has to offer.
