  • "Fabulous house in the centre of Whitby."

    it is tucked out of the way in a secluded and quiet location, but still in the thick of everything. The directions sent out by Sykes on how to find the house are perfect. A residents parking disc for on street parking is provided, but parking is a bit tricky to find on the street, even off-season fully equipped with everything you need and beautifully finished and decorated

  • "Lovely cottage in a great location for all amenities."

    Very well appointed throughout. Nice and cosy with really comfy beds. Nicely positioned in the town with great restaurants and drinking establishments nearby. Easy to use parking scratch cards provided. Felt that the accommodation would benefit from some usb charging points. Thoroughly enjoyed our week here.

  • "Beautiful cosy little cottage."

    Finished to a very high standard. Well equipped, comfy bed and very handy to town centre. If anything the internet was very slow and we kept having to restart it to get it to work.

  • "Lovely clean cottage and lovely bedding."

    No TV throughout our stay even though we complained. In our 80’s and enjoy TV in evenings. No WiFi at all in cottage. Also pans were not suitable for halogen hob. Our daughter and husband stayed with us, so are complaints were not because of age.

  • "What a little gem."

    Bluefin is gorgeous, renovated to a really high standard and containing really top quality appliances and fittings which were appreciated. Location is in the centre of the town but tucked away so that all you hear is the seagulls. The second bedroom is at the top of a steep flight of stairs so may not suit everyone. Both bedrooms have their own bathroom which is a major plus for us along with a further half bathroom on the ground floor. We will definitely be back to Bluefin - it made our short stay even more special.

  • "Beautiful cottage in an amazing location - yet lovely and peaceful."

    Bluefin Cottage had everything needed for a wonderful stay. Thoughtfully laid out, decorated to a very high standard, exceptionally clean and the kitchen was really well-equipped. Also the absolute best welcome pack we have ever received, thank you. The beds were super comfy and towels lovely and fluffy. We had a lovely, relaxing holiday at Bluefin Cottage and would love to stay again in the future.

  • "Beautifully presented cottage, tucked down a little alleyway."

    The finish is to a really high standard and lots of well thought out design has clearly gone into this cottage. We enjoyed our stay. Shame the weather wasn't up to much and we couldn't make the most of the courtyard.

  • "Beautiful house, very comfortable with everything we needed, clear instructions for how things worked."

    The beds were soooo comfy and my daughter loved having her own bathroom on the top floor. It’s perfectly situated very close to the main town and a few minutes walk to the sea and abbey. The view of the abbey from the bedroom is wonderful, especially when it was lit up on our last night. We managed to find a parking spot on St Hilda’s Terrace, and it was fine to leave the car there for three days. There are sometimes parking wardens who are really helpful if you need to ask questions. We did initially park further away then moved in the evening when some people had left.

  • "Fabulous cottage that has been done to an exceptionally high standard."

    The decor, colour, furnishings, lighting all as I would do myself. The extension to the back of the cottage for the kitchen is fabulous. The kitchen has everything you need. I bought things with me that I have needed in other rental cottages and didn't even unpack. The cleanliness is amazing. Who ever maintains the cottage has a very high cleaning standard. A lovely welcome pack was in the kitchen. Two en-suites were beautifully decorated with high end fixtures & fittings. The seating at the side and small courtyard at the back was a great addition. We loved the location. We have been visiting this area for years and adored how tucked away BlueFin is but actually right in the middle of everything. Parking can be tricky but we knew this beforehand but I always managed to park easily (& that was in July). And finally.......that view from the 2nd floor bedroom ! (I just wish the window was floor to ceiling so I could have enjoyed it more.) We will definitely be back and I would move in and live there in a a heartbeat.

  • "We booked this cottage 2 days before our holiday due to a last minute problem the cottage we had already booked."

    Feel like we really struck gold with Bluefin. Immaculate, very well furnished and appointed inside. Looks like we were the first to rent it out since a full refurb. Location is great, just off Flowergate and close to town but really quiet and private. Good outside space which the photos don’t do justice. Wifi was very slow so maybe bring a radio and an Ariel. There is a bit of a residual smoke smell from the downstairs fireplace but these are the only negatives with this place unless you’re against having a toilet in the living room. They have an iron, ironing board and maiden that aren’t listed. Everything you need and more in the kitchen. The view from the upstairs bedroom is amazing; you don’t even have to get out of bed to appreciate it. We will definitely be booking Bluefin again for our next trip to Whitby.
