Dry Dock Cottage

Dry Dock Cottage is a lovely property, very well furnished, with all modern amenities one needs for a comfortable stay.

There were a couple of drawbacks to our stay, firstly the two flights of stairs to the bedrooms are steep and narrow and secondly parking is not easily available, unless as we did, you are prepared to walk some distance.

Would def book there again.

Nice walk into town. Parking easy .

Lovely cottage, very clean and warm, unfortunately for us we did find the stairs a little to much and we found the steps up to the cottage a little too much we thought we could manage them but we are older now and found it more difficult , also the front garden of the cottage was full of weeds and made the entrance look untidy we didn’t venture out into the back garden but anyway a lovely little cottage

This accomodation is on the flat over the swing bridge on the 199 steps side but very clean just steep staircases in the property.

Location was fantastic 10 min walk into town.

Lovely little cottage very comfortable and clean loved the features of this place and the kids loved it would definitely stay again.

Warm and cosy cottage.

Very clean. Managed to get a parking space right opposite so that was a bonus. Very convenient for walking in and out of Whitby. Lots of stairs in the cottage so not suitable for people who find these a problem.

My wife and I stayed at Dry Dock Cottage over the 2025 Christmas period.

We found the property nothing short of delightful. Presented to an extremely high spec, the cottage was very clean, warm and comfortable. Everything functioned as described in the listing, clean towels and bed linen was provided. Only one slight niggle, the kitchen was quite dim, maybe a brighter ceiling light would be better. However, this did not impact on what was a most enjoyable stay. And haddock and chips from the fish and chip shop a few doors down the road was heavenly.

Amazing location close to the town centre with unrestricted parking just outside.

The cottage is so cosy, clean, well appointed and the owners were very helpful and flexible. This was an amazing place to stay.

Had a fantastic holiday in Whitby at Dry Dock cottage.

It's a fabulous cottage with everything you need. Our boys LOVED the massive TV! Alison (owner) was amazing! I thought the blind was broken as I couldn't open or close it (ahem! see below). A maintenance guy was there within an hour! It turns out I didn't pull hard enough! I was so embarrassed but Alison was lovely about it. The place was comfy and clean. It was perfect for us. Thank you. Jane

Sadly I didn't do a good investigation on what I was renting.

Parking was difficult, there was too many stairs. If I was a lot younger and more agile I would have loved it. If you are fit and well you will thoroughly enjoy it, the location is fantastic once the car is parked you can forget it for your stay.

The property was perfect, extremely well furnished and comfortable, its location was within a 5 minute walk to town.

Best part of our stay was Alison the owner, incredibly attentive and cared about us as guests. Will definitely stay again on our next trip to whitby in the winter, thanks again.

A lovely little cottage on the beautiful harbour of Whitby.

Very well equipped and a comfortable stay. The kitchen is cute and small, but you are able to achieve what you need to do in there and the living room is lovely. The 2 bedrooms are decent sizes and the cottage was lovely and clean. Beds very comfortable and we were able to make it baby friendly! Will definitely recommend it to family and friends too. Allie was more than helpful on the lead up to the holiday and while we were there too - always on hand when needed. Thanks so much for the lovely stay.

I’m not very good at reviews but I would like to say I look at reviews when it comes to looking for a rentals, and when I looked at this cottage I was a bit unsure, I went with my gut instinct,I arrived with my family I wash shocked, this cottage is absolutely loverly very clean a homely feeling , comfy beds,attention to detail,great location we will definitely be coming back .

the reviews that was put on before was from disrespectful people that we could all do without ,the owners are loverly I had forgotten my phone on day of departure and they was very helpful and come out of there way to help me thanks again Carl and family

Good location nicely done out.

Steep stairs and low beams in bedroom werent apparent in listing. No parking available opposite at any point during our stay. Cleanliness not great piles toast crumbs kitchen cupboards dog hairs sofa. No towels, even though supposed to be , - 2 hand towels for 3 people and we hadnt taken any as part of listing. On entering property toilet blocked ( no water in pan). Owners travelled 2.5 hrs to fix, not convenient for them or us. Wouldnt pay for 2 day rental again - a b&b or hotel (and with parking) would have been much better for our short holiday.

The cottage is still as nice as when we visited in May.

Everything had been considered to make our stay enjoyable. The welcoming hamper on the kitchen table was appreciated and all contents used. The only thing we found to be missing was pans. There were two frying pans supplied, but no others.

Had a lovely stay.

Perfect location as cottage is only a 10 minute walk to the centre of Whitby. There is a bus stop outside if you want to visit further afield and not use your car.

We found the holiday property extremely clean, with brand new everything.

The owners were very helpful when we couldn't lock the door due to the sun shining on the door knob area all day, broadening it, and when I accidentally broke the plastic pull on the window blind. They also accepted the fact that the kettle tripped the switch in the consumer unit, and reimbersed me for a purchase of a new kettle.
