"A wonderful little holiday home."
Very clean and well looked after. A lovely welcome basket and enough supplies to see us through the first evening on arrival until we could do a supermarket shop the next morning. Very thoughtful.

"Absolutely amazing holiday home!"
We went as a family of four, 2 adults and 2 children (8 & 2) and the property was a perfect size. Super clean and all the essentials you need when you’re on holiday. The area is lovely and plenty of seaside towns to explore nearby. We made use of the swimming which is a small extra charge but worth it as you can use it whenever you want between the opening times which was perfect for us. We would definitely book again!

"Lovely clean and cosy cottage on the outskirts of Whitby in a quiet and beautiful location."
It was great having the warm and clean swimming pool to use, just 30 metres from our doorstep. The cottage is bright and comfortable, with very good facilities and modern furnishings. The owners very kindly left us a lovely hamper (thank you!). You can walk to Whitby via the viaduct which takes 20-30 mins with great views, or it’s a 5 minute drive to the centre. The only negative was that we found it difficult to connect to the resort’s wifi due to the signal being weak and intermittent and you are asked not to stream anything - not a major issue for us but would’ve been good to have better wifi. Although there is no washing machine in the house, there is a laundry facility on site at a charge of £10 per week so you do have the option to wash clothes. It’s worth noting that there is an extra charge to use the swimming pool - £10 for less than a week or £20 for a week - well worth it if you’re using it daily. We had a great stay and would definitely book again!!

"What an absolute gem."
Lovely cottage in a great location. Pool was a bonus and utilised daily. Great walk across the viaduct into Whitby, lovely views and no parking worries. Very comfortable cottage suitable for all ages. Grandkids adored it and didn’t want to leave. Would highly recommend and have already booked a return visit. Sarah and Julie are lovely owners.

"Everything exactly as described on the Sykes website for Cha Cha's holiday let."
The cottage is part of a riverside complex with around 50 surrounding cottages. Parking was available with allocated space for one car and further very nearby space for overflow car parking - we had no issues with parking for two vehicles. The cottage was exceptionally clean with all facilities needed for a family or elderly couple. Outside table got daily use, and became an attraction for the resident squirrels and rabbits, much to our enjoyment. Would stay again, and possibly bring our bikes for ventures on the Cinder Track. Walked the Cinder path to Robin Hoods Bay, approx 5 miles, good days walk. Whitby is a nearby walk of approx 20 minutes over the viaduct. Had a meal at the Bridge Inn at Ruswarp, would recommend. So all in all a very enjoyable week stay, with a very clean and well fitted out cottage, swimming pool, plenty of footpaths for walking, nearby Whitby town centre, and we had decent weather for the week, well pleased all round. Many thanks to Cha Cha's and Sykes. Note - down by the riverside is a good spot for watching the kingfishers as the tide ebbs and flows.

The cottage and amenities on site are excellent and ideal for couples and families. The cottage is beautifully decorated and maintained to a very high standard. The welcome pack was a lovely touch, especially as it contained thoughtful items for the adults and small children. The garden area was delightful as was the swimming pool and the play area.
If you are looking for a 5* stay in a 'home away from home'
look no further. A real gem!

"A lovely small cottage in a great location which was a quiet spot but only 5 minutes from Whitby."
There was 4 of us staying but if there had been 6, it would have been a bit too small in the living/dining area. The pool was nice but coolish. And there was a lovely walk over the nearby viaduct. I had the downstairs bedroom which was very cold, unlike the rest of the cottage. And there was no instructions on how to change the heating. But a fab stay all in all.

"Just returned from a lovely week in Cha Cha's cottage, with my husband and young grandchildren."
The cottage was spotlessly clean, with everything you could want in a home from home. The welcome basket with wine, cookies etc was a lovely touch and much appreciated after our journey.
Whilst a private cottage, it is set in part of Captain Cookes Haven, and as such there is access to the heated indoor pool which we loved. Also at a small fee the laundry facilities, ideal for people with small tots forever needing changing.
Cha Chas is in an ideal setting in the beautifully maintained grounds , with easy access to the communal play area and several BBQ's provided free of charge, but with a lovely private patio area too. We were visited daily by Charlie squirrel and the odd duck who had lost its way.
Whilst almost all of this area is quite hilly , the walk into Whitby across the viaduct is easy, with just a few steps at the end and pleasant to do.
We would love to stay here again next time we holiday in Yorkshire.

It was lovely to be able to sit out in the quiet and a perfect location for visiting North Yorkshire.The indoor pool was a real bonus too which we used a few times.

"We had a lovely stay at Cha Cha's Cottage."
Location was excellent in the shadow of the viaduct, which was the start point for an easy and enjoyable walk to Whitby.
We can't fault the cottage, it was spotless and a great place to stay. We also enjoyed meeting the owners.
It was a shame the pool was closed but this was due to Covid restrictions.
Not a fault of the cottage/owners but would have been nice if recycling was available at the location.

"Cha Cha's cottage was lovely, well furnished and cosy."
Facilities were above what you would generally expect from self catering accommodation and the cottage was spotless. A welcome pack was much appreciated. A few minor niggles though. The kitchen was very small - realistically only one person could work in there at any one time which did cause some inconvenience. Also the property was advertised as sleeping six - I think this is fine for families but six adults would find it a squeeze. A parking zone card was provided in the property but with no directions as to how to use it so we were left a little uncertain when we used it in Whitby. I know Covid regs mean that little written info could be provided but more general info about the cottage, the site and surroundings would have been really helpful. A couple of examples - it was not clear what to do with the key on leaving, there was no information as to whether a caretaker/ reception staff would be available.
On the plus side contacting the owners was easy and the owner I spoke to couldn't have been more helpful.

"Cha cha cottage is clean, spacious enough for 6 people."
It has a well equipped kitchen and outside space at the back. Car Parking close to the cottage and more parking just off the road leading to the cottage. It is in a perfect location. Surrounded by beautiful scenery, it is a 20 minute walk over the viaduct into Whitby. Walk the opposite way and it’s a 5.5 mile walk to Robin Hoods Bay.
It’s a great place to leave the car and explore this beautiful area on foot.

The setting is quiet and well managed with a good sized swimming pool. Walking to Whitby over the viaduct is about 20 - 25 mins along a cinder path avoiding the need to walk on the road. There is a pub a short walk away, The Penny Hedge, which serves good food at a fair price. I would definitely recommend this as a family holiday home and would stay again. Thanks!

This lovely cottage just outside Whitby is a real "home from home ". It is spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. It came fully equipped with everything you could possibly need and a real bonus is being able to park your car right outside the door in your own dedicated parking space. This cottage on a small complex only a mile from Whitby is ideally situated for visiting the surrounding coastal resorts and North York Moors. Although we didn't use it, there is a swimming pool and children's play area on the site. A short walk across the viaduct or down to the river allows excellent views of the steam trains going past. This cottage far exceeded our expectations and we will most definitely be returning.
