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 Whitbyâs 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.

It is a lovely well equiped house with a very comfortable bed. Unfortunately, on arrival, I had to clean all work surfaces. Window sills, bedroom furniture, all mirrors in the bedroom & bathroom. It was quite dirty in places. The banister leading upstairs was filthy. The cloth I used was black. I think it 8s a major oversight as in this day & age, cleanliness needs to be paramount. This was most definitely an accumulation of dust & dirt. It's clearly not getting a thorough clean after each guest. The house itself is so nice with some really nice items. They just need a good clean & to be honest the whole place needs freshening up with a paint. I would use the word grubby. Also, the outside space on the photos looked so nice. Sadly, it was nothing like the photos. The planters were completely overgrown with weeds & there was a very old rusted small round table & 2 rusted chairs. This could really be lovely if it was looked after. Because I had to clean on arrival, the owners allowed us to stay an extra night for free which was nice. We have stayed in Whitby every year tor around 10 years now & never had to clean a property on arrival. Please clean & freshen this place up as it is such a nice house in a great central place. We are considering booking "Tuksumdoin" the house next door for next time as the cleaner was in the property when we walked past one day & she let us have a look around. Looks really nice & also has an extra bedroom. Sykes themselves were helpful once I finally reached someone. The process took 5 days to resolve. If I had known sooner that wots app was available then this would of been much quicker.

My partner and I stayed over Christmas - the location is perfect being in the centre of Whitby. We felt very comfortable; at home! Great facilities and lovely décor and a super king bed!!! I highly recommend Grays Cottage.
