The cottage is in an excellent location. It is a 2 minute walk from the West side of the swing bridge, right in the middle of the action. Despite this, it was very quiet inside with no external noise. The view is of rooftops with a sliver of sea. The abbey is visible on the other side of the river. The cottage is very well appointed with ample glasses, crockery etc. The bed was comfy (and huge). All furniture was modern, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was modern and clean with instant hot water in the shower. The whole accommodation looks brand new and was spotlessly clean. The only issue we had was parking… we were provided with a parking pass for W designated streets but, in the time we were there, we were unable to find a single parking space on those streets (although it was Goth weekend so extremely busy). However, with a bit of planning, we found we could use Whitby’s car parks cost effectively. I would stay there again and would recommend it to anyone else unless they needed to have designated, on-property parking.
