  • "We were lucky enough that to spend Christmas at the Store Rooms and couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable stay."

    Perfect for 2 adults and our spaniel. The cottage is well equipped and we wanted for nothing. The owners decorated it very festive, and left milk, biscuits and other goodies which was a lovely touch. We parked the car and didn’t drive for the whole time we were there. Fabulous location in the centre of Whitby and close to the beach. I would book again in a heartbeat. Communication from the owners was great.

  • "Lovely little upside down cottage, in the very centre of town, but squirrelled away in a quiet yard on the West Cliff."

    The bed was sooooo comfortable and upstairs was so light and airy, even in the depths of winter. Good shower and everything you needed to cook for yourself in the kitchen if you needed to. Our little dog was happy to snooze, so she must have enjoyed it too! Thank you for a lovely stay! Oh, and I need to know which fabric softener is used as the towels smelt amazing

    Thank you so much for your kind review. It’s lovely when people appreciate the work we do to try and make guests as comfortable as possible. Hope you return sometime in the future. Kind regards Carol Property Owner

    Very clean and lovely decor. Also the bath towels where so soft and fluffy and also.like the bedding smelling so fresh. Would recomend this cottage for a lovely break in Whitby. The only thing I think it would benefit from having two front door keys, as one day I looked around the shops while my husband walked our dog. This meant me having to wait until he came back to open the door.

    Thank you so much. Will provide 2 keys from now on. Regards Carol. Property Owner

  • "Love this cottage, set in a quiet back street less than 5 minutes to the restaurants bars amusements and shops."

    There was always 1 parking spot out of the 4 available next to the cottage but opted to park on west cliff as I knew I wasn't going to be needing the car throughout the break. The road is very narrow to the cottage but part of the areas character. Loved the cottage everything you needed was there. It is compact but so comfortable and would not hesitate booking it again. Shower was powerful, lovely and hot. The simple things of cakes left for us and milk etc was so nice. It made for a great start to a relaxing break. Highly recommend this cottage as a base for a fantastic whitby holiday, a place to look forward returning to after a busy day sightseeing or on the beach. Barney our golden retriever found coolest spot in the house just as you entered in the hallway but had no problem navigating the stairs to come up to the lounge area. Will definitely book again

    Thank you so much. Appreciate your feedback. Kind regards Carol. Property Owner

    This is the second time we have stayed here but this last time we found the parking very bad as the 2 bays outside the property were full we phoned the owners and were told first there first served and there was a car park round the corner it cost around £9 a day to park there and found this ridiculous after paying for the accommodation and having parking permits loverly cottage but will not book again

  • "The property itself is good and we enjoyed our stay however, car access to the property is very restricted."

    We found we could not safely access the property by car. The best thing to do is park on the pay and display car park about 150 metres away and move your luggage manually which we did. This should be noted. The property has no real safe nearby parking. You at at great risk of having your car damaged by other vehicles trying to pass or damaging it yourself trying to park.

  • "The advert stated you got a parking permit be which we did, however I assumed parking would be available outside the property."

    The advert did say first come first served but this was not explained fully as I had to find a parking space, eventually 10 minutes away. If we were staying as a couple this would have been fine but with a baby and everything you need to bring with you caused us a little stress. In particular, our holiday was cut short, as check out 10am, we had to pick up car while husband stayed with baby and dog, packed the car in order to vacate the property but we had no energy to try find another suitable space so ended up going home! Effectively we lost a day off the end of our holiday. Cottage was lovely, very clean, great location but not really big enough with a baby, pram, cot etc. They did provide cot, highchair and stairgate, for which we were grateful, and also biscuits were a nice touch. I feel parking situation spoilt it for us, Whitby is not great for big cars!

  • "This was our second visit to the Store Rooms."

    We returned to enjoy the recent Fish and Ships festival in Whitby and the central location of the accommodation made it an ideal choice for us to experience the hustle and bustle of the harbour and then return to the peace and quiet of the cottage situated in a quiet area. The accommodation itself has everything you need and is clean and comfortable. We travelled by train as we knew that once we were there we didn't need to use the car and parking in Whitby can be difficult. We found the local buses an excellent way to get further afield. We would definitely recommend The Store Rooms and Whitby and hope to return ourselves very soon.

    It is very well located centrally in Whitby. The upstairs living area is very bright and airy and everywhere was very clean. As others have said parking nearby can be tricky but it is usually possible to find an appropriate space not too far away. The washing machine was not working properly during our visit but we are sure this will be sorted out by the owners. XXXXX Owner Response XXXX The owner is glad that you enjoyed your stay and has confirmed that the washing machine would not work due to the previous cycle that had not been allowed to finish completely. Therefore a new programme couldn't be started before the previous cycle was completed.

  • "Despite the hilly nature of Whitby the Store Room is located in a convenient, quiet cul-de-sac and everything the town has to offer is within a reasonably short walking distance."

    There are numerous paths and alleyways nearby which lead to all points of the compass and for those visiting Whitby for its famous fish and chips, a takeaway or restaurant is never more than a few minutes away, as are the panoramic views that Whitby offers. The Store Room is very comfortable, well equipped and an ideal base for 2 to 3 people but I can imagine parking may be problematic in high season as there was only ever one space available outside the cottage which required some manoeuvring to get into. An enjoyable stay.

The property

A fabulous semi-detached cottage, centrally located, yet tucked away in a quiet corner, in the popular seaside town of Whitby, Yorkshire.

The Store Rooms was converted from a former auction house and has been immaculately restored, now providing a wonderful hideaway for couples and friends wishing to enjoy the many attractions this charming town has to offer.

Beautifully furnished and decorated throughout, the cottage provides upside down accommodation, with a pretty double bedroom and a bathroom on the ground floor.

Upstairs is a spacious open plan living area with a sofa bed, with a pitched roof, quirky floor level windows and Velux windows giving a very light and airy feel to the room.

There is also a well-equipped kitchen with a fold-down dining table and sumptuous seating in which to sink into after a busy day exploring.

A two-minute walk brings you into the hub of this thriving historic town, with restaurants, pubs and independent shops all on the doorstep.

Wander around the quaint narrow streets, enjoy coffee and cakes in one of the many tea rooms, or enjoy a cocktail in a harbourside bar.

An absolute must are the renowned Whitby fish and chips, and a climb up the 199 steps is well-worth the effort for the panoramic views along the coastline.

The surrounding countryside of the North York Moors National Park is stunning and there are many drives along this dramatic stretch of heritage coastline.

A wonderful romantic cottage for a varied and interesting holiday.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £125.
