“The house was beautiful, well ...”

The house was beautiful, well equipped, and cosy. the shower did not work on the first floor (kept going hot and cold which was dangerous for my 9 year old granddaughter) so only had the full use of one bathroom. Found it a bit awkward to let the dogs out (fire escape a bit scary) and the parking was a little confusing (parking permit from owner was really helpful, but we needed another) Great places to eat and visit in and around Whitby, overall a good holiday.

“Short Break”

We stayed here as a family in January and have to say that it was perfect for us; warm, cosy, comfortable, well-equipped and centrally located near to Skinner Street but also the sea. We know Whitby very well and have stayed in many properties and so have seen good and bad over the years. Our group ranged in age from grandparent to baby and yet the cottage had all that we needed. The owner was extremely helpful and on hand if we needed him. We would most definitely stay there again.

Only downfall with the property is the parking which is quite difficult to find a place and keep it and installing wifi would be good, but apart from that very good property in an excellent location.

Lovely cottage but a bit short on cutlery and wine glasses! I bought extra wine glasses and left them there for the next people. Only 4 forks in drawer as the cottage sleeps 6 this was a bit unusual, but we managed.

In a great location and very spacious for the price. It was lovely and warm with some really quirky details. The 3rd floor double room had a really gothic feel to it. The owner was great on the phone and really helpful. We will be back to stay again!

“Central, quiet, perfect”

We were a group of 5 and this cottage was perfect for us. We know Whitby very well and this place is centrally located but off the main street meaning it is situated in a quiet spot and we weren't disturbed by other Goth revellers during the wee hours. The kitchen is well equipped and with 2 bathrooms this place is very comfortable and was spotless for our visit. There are lots of quirky features in the house, low beams on the top floor and a elf size recess halfway up the staircase - which amused us no end. Also check out the small doorway in the kitchen that leads to...? Very nice would definitely stay again.
