Really enjoyed it.

Location was suberb. Right in town and so close to everything. Cottage was lovely. Stair may be a bit steep for anyone with mobility issues.

It was advertised on booking.com as having a parking space which was not the case. This was major reason why we chose it. Public parking was nearby but had to pay - £40 for 4 days.

Not a great stay.

Location was exceptional and surprisingly quiet.

The water was terrible if you wanted hot water it dribbled out before turning warm then cold and eventually hot before repeating over and over. This included shower and basin in bathroom. The seating in the living room. Had no back support and was supported by a few cushions. It was also very near to floor, so difficult to get out of. The parking advertised is nowhere close and very difficult to get into and out of without damaging car. The two beds lower down were squeaky and lacking firmness.

Lovely, warm, cozy cottage. Would stay again.

Was a nice cozy cottage. Had everything we needed and was very comfy. We all enjoyed our stay thoroughly.

Overall very clean, few cobwebs in the ceiling that could have been removed but wouldn't complain.

Lovely cottage

Excellent location and a very warm cottage and Nicki and Graham extremely kind and helpful. The car parking space is a godsend

Sofa and double bed not overly comfortable but when you think of how much they're used,it's not surprising

Very good

Fabulous, comfortable cottage in a superb location. Designated car parking space a big bonus too. Whitby is such a great place.

WI-FI doesn’t work! A router merrily flashes away, but it’s impossible to connect to. This is not a new problem as it was mentioned in a review several months ago. Contacted owner who is due to organise a new router, however, this didn’t help us.

Perfect for 2 people, location was excellent but noise from dawn of gulls makes sleep difficult.

The door lock needs attention. It was a little temperamental at times and took a while to open the door from the outside.

Very central but expect lots of noise. Not child friendly.

The mattresses were comfy. There was lots of necessities stocked, plus some bits like games wich was a nice touch. It’s in both a great and not so great location - good as it’s literally on the high street, you can walk everywhere in Whitby town in 5 mins.

The house is not child friendly, if we didn’t have a cancellation on our other air BnB so late then we wouldn’t have booked it. The main problem is location. It’s so central that it’s incredibly noisy. Although down an alley with a metal gate saying “private no access” this didn’t stop some lads coming through and sitting on the bench under the window at 2am doing drugs, kindly offered me some, I declined and asked them to leave as they were loud and I didn’t want my son to wake up. The solution is to either get rid of the bench or put a lock on the metal gate.

The location

Parking!!!! When you look at the ficilitys it says parking on site no need to book but the parking is 5 mins walk away and can only access the road your on is after 4 to unpack then you have to move your car, I found this very difficult. If it stated this at the beginning I would of not of booked it.

Great for a long weekend

Fabulous location for all local amenities. Loads of shop/ pubs and dog friendly .

On arrival at the property we were met with the carcass of a dead pigeon in the passage way, pieces of cardboard and general rubbish. Having said this ,on day three someone swept the yard and made it much nicer. The property itself is very dark and one bulb in the kitchen area had blown making it even dimmer. The blinds in bathroom and bedroom were broken and the bathroom mirror light didn’t work making contact lense fitting tricky. Felt like the downstairs had not been de- cobwebbed in a while as plenty hanging from ceiling and corners. Small things and easy to put right. All in all we had a lovely stay and would definitely stay again.

A most enjoyable short break

An attractive small cottage, nicely decorated and well equipped. Very central and convenient but still quiet and safe.

I found my single mattress saggy and uncomfortable although my son found the double mattress fine

We had a lovely stay and found everything we needed at the cottage for a great holiday.

Great location, modern and fully stocked kitchen, nice bedrooms and lovely decor throughout. Nice touch to have tea/coffee available as well as essentials like salt and pepper. Quiet at night even though in the middle of the town.

The WiFi was patchy and kept losing connection. The hot water facilities could have been better. When it came out it was scalding but then soon went cold in the kitchen and the upstairs hot water was via a separate heater but this was a slow trickle and again was scalding. The stairs are tricky.

A good stay for holiday in central Whitby - we paid approx £550 in mid July 2022 and wouldn’t want to have paid much mor

Good location for central Whitby stay. Parking space provided which is good for Whitby where parking not always easy in town. Well equipped property - washing machine, fridge (with freezer compartment), TVs (we brought Chromecasts), WiFi, kitchen utensils, towels etc. Helpful and responsive owner.

Attic bedroom can get very hot in above average hot weather. Lots of noisy seagulls in area early morning and night. Some noise in early mornings from activities related to businesses in close proximity. Setting not very picturesque - cottage located in alley which houses row of bins, and is next to a bakery shop’s back door where staff often smoke outside. Some areas a little worn e.g. two blinds broken, sofa not the most comfortable. TV reception not very good.

A home from home.

Delightful and cosy cottage right in the center of Whitby. Very comfortably furnished throughout.

Due to the historic location the parking was not on site but the owner had made good arrangements for parking 5 minutes away.
