    Was comfortable easy to find, car space right next to the door. Whitby was on our doorstep, and can visit other parts and come back to comfortable cottage, watch films etc. It's Peaceful you obviously get the train noise but it's all part of the experience and that's why we stayed here.

  • "We couldn’t have asked for anything more!"

    It was home from home! Extremely clean, nice bright and modern and the beds were extremely comfortable and the bedding was great quality. It no longer has a bath as the photos show, it has a huge walk in shower which is so much easier and loved that feature. A five minute walk into town with a guaranteed private car parking space. Just absolutely brilliant and couldn’t fault anything. I spoke with the owner directly and she was beyond helpful. Would 100% recommend crossing cottage and can’t wait to go back! Our welcome hamper was so thoughtful! All the facilities you need were included, from tea, coffee & sugar .. to tea towels, bathroom towels, bed linen.

    The bath/shower was difficult to get in and out of. There are a number of "trip hazards" - loose mats and plinth for kitchen area. Very rare to go to a holiday place where there are no books,games etc available. However, all in all it is a warm and comfortable cottage and its position is wonderful.

    . The cottage was spotless and equipped with everything we needed. Enjoyed see the old steam train go past our window, although it’s on trainline it’s extremely peaceful and we slept like logs. Just a few minutes walk to all local amenities. Lots of lovely places to eat although recommend booking table at busy times. Lovely walk to ruswarp along the train tracks with a pub or cafe at the end. Cottage comes with a parking space :) Lots of places to walk to or short drives e.g Robin Hood Bay, Saltburn on sea and Goathland were our favourites .

    The decor and furnishings are all first rate, little extras such as tea bags, milk, sugar etc were all supplied and a big plus is the allocated parking. It's close to the town but far enough away to be nice and quiet, there are trains passing the door but only 5/6 services a day so even if trains are not your thing there's not enough of them to be a problem. Tip: For a "real" chip shop try the Railway Chippy, in a row of terraces up the hill from the cottage, good value and great quality - and eating them in the cottage overlooking the harbour is hard to beat!
