  • "We had the most brilliant stay at Mariner's Rest, so good that we rebooked for 2025 on our 2nd night there!"

    We had everything we needed and the lovely extras made our welcome even nicer, so thankyou so much. Would definitely recommend this fab house, location and ample parking to anyone trying to find somewhere special to stay in Whitby.

    The cottage is well positioned for the town plus the steam engine passed by twice a day which a bonus. Parking for two cars was very useful.

    Parking for 2 cars was a bonus. Nice outdoor area & the balcony on the top floor is wonderful with beautiful views of the Abbey. Would definitely recommend

  • "What a wonderful holiday home!"

    Great location and well appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed and the outdoor space was ideal for our little dog and the odd cup of coffee in the morning sunshine. The balcony on the master bedroom was super and a real treat to have a view of the abbey. The master bedroom would benefit from a big set of drawers and a dressing table, there is plenty of room for them. Surface space is lacking. Wonderfully quiet at night time and ample space to park two big cars off the road. The walk into Whitby is super easy and on the flat, it takes less than 5 mins! Will 100% be back as we have visited Whitby many times and really enjoyed being so close to everything.

  • "Beautiful spacious property, very clean which provides all the usual holiday cottage facilities and more!"

    It’s well positioned, about a 10 min stroll uphill on way back from town (on the station side of the bridge). Plus has x2 parking bays which is a real bonus. Had a lovely stay, although we all did get disturbed most nights by what sounded like a freight train going by in the early hours which always blew the whistle right outside the property and also be aware that in the daytime you get diesel fumes if windows/doors left open as the train stops for a few minutes right outside the back of the property. Also if the shower/bath on middle floor is being used you can’t use the loft room shower at the same time as it’s either scalding hot/freezing cold (someone else has previously mentioned this). A nice touch by the owner and much appreciated was the milk, etc left as we could have a nice cup of tea on arrival also she did let us in to the property a little early which was welcomed after a long 6 hour drive on a baking hot day! We recommend a trip to Robin Hood’s Bay (can catch local bus for £2). Also would highly recommend Bothams’ Tea Rooms in town, it has fantastic food and cakes and Tiffins opposite does a great English breakfast.

    It's exactly the same as the photos and was clean and comfortable with plenty of room for our family of 4 adults and 2 children-5&4 with practically everything needed for a self catering holiday even a welcome pack of bread cheese wine and milk There's a small outside seating area with the bonus of a clothes drier- a big help with 2 children! and we loved seeing the trains go by and the two parking places were a big bonus. It is only a 10 min walk to the centre with the short cut. We all had a fun packed holiday-train, bus and boat rides. For those with children there's a nice play area straight up the hill on the left and Pannet park a little further. Whitby Abbey is worth a visit and call into the Brewery for a drink and delicious pizzas. We also had an Italian meal at Moutreys which was excellent. The Waiting Room and the Arch and Abbey were our favourite places for a drink. I would certainly stay here again. Great holiday!

    The property has enough room for two cars to park off the road which is very helpful. The house has a lovely nautical theme going on in terms of decoration and it is beautifully done. The kitchen has plenty of utensils and storage and having a washing machine is ideal (a washer/dryer would be even better). In a perfect world there would be more green space outside but the back yard area is okay for sitting out in and watching the trains go by (especially the steam trains which were cause for much excitement!). We would definitely go back.

    The house is ideally situated being only a good 5 minute walk away from the town centre and in a very quiet and peaceful position.We found that equipment wise we wanted for nothing.It really is a home from home and the owners have thought of everything!The welcome pack of bread,cheese,wine ,milk and flowers was extremely thoughtful and very much appreciated. My husband and I stayed in the loft bedroom which was very comfortable and afforded great views of the town and abbey from the balcony.The en-suite was nicely fitted out and looked as though it has been recently done. My mum in law stayed in one of the ample sized bedrooms on the floor below and had the good family sized bathroom to herself. We felt the house layout for us was ideal giving us all our own space! We found the property to be plenty warm enough and was pleased to find we had ample hot water at all times. The only slight downside and it is only a slight one is that I would say the kitchen is a little tired.But really this isn’t that important in the grand scale of things as there is much more to this house. Eating out in Whitby we would highly recommend humble pie and mash and fish and chips from trenchers.We visited the Bulls head in Ugthorpe for a Sunday carvery which was gorgeous and very good value at £10.80.That afternoon ended up at the Endevour pub which on a weekend has live entertainment.Would highly recommended this place.

  • "Having visited Whitby as a family holiday destination many times previously, we decided to visit again as six of us (three couples) for a winter holiday."

    When we arrived at the cottage it was absolutely beautifully decorated throughout, and there was more than enough space for us all. A very good sized kitchen with everything we needed, as well as a little welcome pack which was lovely - wine, cheese, milk - everything we needed to make us feel welcome at Mariner's Rest. The master bedroom is gorgeous, with an amazing balcony overlooking the harbour and with gorgeous views over the town. The other bedrooms are great sizes - one double, one with two singles and another single bedroom. The living room is also a great size, enough seating for six people around the electric fire for cosy nights in front of the television. There's a good sized dining table - so good we managed to eat a whole Christmas dinner with all the trimmings around it as we won't all be spending Christmas together this year. Outside is a great area too, again overlooking the boats in the harbour. Admittedly we didn't spend too much time there as it was very cold - but in the summer it would be a perfect area for alfresco dining. To the front of the house there is two car parking spaces - something we have struggled with in the majority of other holiday cottages we have stayed in. Most of Whitby is on road parking and it can be hit and miss if you don't get there at the right time - so having these two spaces at the front of the house was very convenient for us. The house itself provided everything, possibly more than we could have asked for in a holiday home. It is a shame that the experience was somewhat scuppered on the last night of our holiday. Obviously the last night of anyones holiday is a busy one - especially when the check out time is quite early in comparison to other cottages we have stayed in (10am). With six adults packing a weeks worth of things, as well as trying to cook dinner for six - there was a knock at the door and it was the owner of the property. She turned up at about 7pm to ask if she could come in to the house with the cleaner at 9.30 instead of 10am, which is something a phone call would have been sufficient for, but actually it almost felt like she was looking to see if we had done anything wrong. I can totally understand that an owner of a property might want to meet the people staying in their house, but I would probably recommend doing that at the start of someones holiday rather than the night before they leave at tea time. It made us all feel quite awkward and it definitely put a negative spin on the holiday at the last minute. There was a comment made about my dog too, who was sat on a blanket that we had bought to put on one area of the sofa. In the holiday listing the property was listed as dog friendly, but when you arrive at the cottage there are 'rules' about where your dog can and can't go. I respect that people may not allow their dogs on the furniture, but as a dog who is used to being allowed everywhere in a house we bought a blanket so there was no contact with the furniture. I didn't appreciate the owner telling my dog off, especially when the rules aren't mentioned in the advertisement for the house. There were a few negative comments made about other guests who had stayed previously, which almost made us feel like she would be saying negative things about us to the next guests. Overall, it's a shame but we wouldn't stay in the house again as we were made to feel so uncomfortable on the last night of our holiday.
