“Home was good, a little concerned ...”

Home was good, a little concerned that the stairs may have been too steep but not at all. ...

Home was good, a little concerned that the stairs may have been too steep but not at all. Only downside in the home were the low beams on the top floor, once you bang your head you remember to duck next time. Very handy to have a good washing machine and ironing facilities on hand, first time we have gone home with clean clothes in the cases. Our little westie loved it, very close to West Cliff through a short cut up alley at the side of next door. Very close to pub, excellent home bakery and a top class fish and chip shop which is slightly off the tourist trod. One point to remember is bin day is very early Thursday mornings and bin needs to be taken to top of alley at back of house. Unfortunately the people before us left us with an overflowing bin which caused a few problems , neighbour helped us out by letting us put bags in their bins.

“A great week in Whitby. ...”

A great week in Whitby. Fireman’s Rest is a lovely house spread over 3 floors. The host was most helpful with a couple of queries we had. The downside was no wi-fi which wasn’t much of an issue for myself and husband but our daughter and boyfriend would have appreciated it. Parking was tight (not easy in Whitby anyway) and we got a ticket because forgot to pur registration number on permit. We had a good time - thank you.

“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 ...”

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 ...”

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.

“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.
