  • "The bungalow was excellent."

    It had everything you needed. The only thing wrong was the television. The picture was too bright and unable to alter it. Otherwise a very good holiday venue.

  • "Very comfortable property in a quiet road , well equipped and spotlessly clean."

    Neat gardens and about 15 minute walk to the centre. We enjoyed the welcome pack (thanks). Easy car parking on the drive. A good week thanks

  • "Bungalow and garden were well maintained, adequate for a couple, but four adults would be crowded."

    We had just two small gripes: 1. the JVC TV was awful, looking like it was badly set up, with large coloured fringing due to low mono & colour resolution. Barely watchable; 2. the wet room floor was permanently wet after a shower with no apparent means of mopping it up, leaving us having to paddle to the toilet & wash basin.

    Added bonus of some outdoor space and drive. Lovely surprise to arrive to welcome treats to help us settle into our holiday. Location very peaceful just a short walk into the centre had a great week away.

  • "The welcome pack, especially the biscuits and wine was a nice surprise."

    Less welcome was the lack of any hand soap in the wet room or elsewhere. The wet room was one of the reasons we chose the bungalow, and it worked well, although those with mobility issues might have found it a bit tight. The rubbish bins were a slight puzzle. We left the recycling bin out to be collected as requested, and this had not been done by the time we left. This was quite tricky as the bench and the step to the back door were in the way and took some manoeuvring. Each of the bins contained a large black bin liner which we hoped was OK. At home the presence of such a liner would have resulted in the bin collectors refusing to touch it. A note about this in the visitor file might be useful. The well maintained back garden with seating was a nice feature. Being reasonably mobile we were able to walk into town, although the very heavy traffic made this slightly unpleasant until we worked out back routes away from the noise and fumes. Some visitors might appreciate some notes on how to do this. We were late also in discovering the access to the cinder track and this again might be a useful addition to the visitor information. If we were to stay in Whitby again we would be happy to book this clean modern bungalow again.

  • "On our arrival owners had left us a generous welcome pack which we appreciated."

    The bungalow couldn't be faulted, it was very clean, warm and comfortable with all that you could need for a self catering holiday. The garden was very nice with quality garden furniture. It's situated in a very quiet area but only a short distance from Whitby and also lovely Pannett park. We don't have Sky TV at home but the owner was very helpful in showing us how to get the different channels. Some instructions would be helpful if there are other visitors like us. Overall we would highly recommend this bungalow.

    The harbour was just a 5 minute drive where we could always park. The bungalow was spotless and in very good condition. The only thing we wished for was for some toilet and cleaning materials which we had to go out and buy. Sainsbury's a five minute drive had everything we needed. We loved Whitby and the moors and would highly recommend.

    Spacious accommodation and lovely little garden. Kitchen well equipped and very clean. Drive could do with a white line painting down the side to warn about the drop. Mattress could use a topper so that the springs weren’t so obvious.

  • "Very clean."

    Had everything we needed. Garden was lovely especially with the great weather we had.Location was great. 15 mins at most and we were in the centre. Main supermarkets very close. Ideal for exploring further afield as well. The only issue we had was the step in as it was quite high for hubby, a grab rail would have helped , but we managed. Really enjoyed our stay and will love to come back again.

    Walking time to town more than 10 minutes but bus stops very close to property as parking in Whitby is limited. Dining chairs would benefit from cushions or pads but overall most comfortable which included the beds. Would recommend this property.

    A small issue we had was dealt with immediately by the owner. The location is great with a 10 minute downhill walk into the centre of Whitby. There is also a main road with a good bus service a couple of minutes walk away. We tended to walk down into Whitby then get the bus back - much better than messing around with parking.

    However you state on your summary incorrectly that the property had a separate fridge, freezer. We found that the compartment would not fit all are freezer food & thus finished up throwing 2 meals away. Hopefully you will correct this fault on your Summary for any further customers benefit.

    Thank you for your feedback and pointing out the error on the summary statement I will ensure this is rectified. My apologies for the inconvenience Property Owner

  • "Rose Bungalow was just as described and better."

    Being able to contact the owner and have clear communication from the beginning was also a bonus. I was greeted with a lovely welcome gift (bottle of wine, sweets for the children, tea, coffee, sugar and milk) to help us settle in. The property owner also provided us with a parking disc, to park within the local area which was a further added bonus as it saved on paying to park locally. Rose Bungalow is situated within a very quiet residential part of Whitby, also very close to the town and local supermarkets. Cannot fault the property it was very clean and had absolutely everything we required throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend the bungalow for a small family to stay in and enjoy their staycation.
