  The Cottage is in a very good location and makes it so easy for all shops, restaurants etc.

  Due to its central location and it can be noisy, although we were there at Easter bank holiday weekend. This may have influenced it but noise went on till 4am. The main issue I had with the Cottage, is that it is very small. We went as a family of two adults, two kids and a dog. The house was not big enough to accommodate us all. This was particularly evident downstairs, which is just one room. There wasn’t enough seating space for us all to sit on the settee. There is a breakfast bar in this room but the stools provided, are not very comfortable. There isn’t really enough space to cook, particularly if people are sat at the breakfast bar. When cooking I literally had to sit at one of the seats. The whole accommodation is extremely dark. Whilst accepting that it is a Cottage, the windows do not open in three out of four of the rooms. This makes the Cottage quite stuffy and oppressive. This is not helped by the fact you don’t have control of the heating. This comes on at set times whether you need it to or not. The bedroom on the first floor is a decent size and accommodates two children. It also has storage space and a TV with DVD. There is no DVD player downstairs, nor can you stream your phone to the TV. This meant if we wanted to watch a film as a family, we had to go to the kids bedroom. The bathroom has nice facilities with the exception of the hot tap. It is a Triton hot tap that produces very little hot water. The bedroom on the second floor is contained in the roof. It does not have any room to stand up in, other than the foot of the bed. It’s basically a bed in a room. We both found it quite difficult to get in and out of bed. The Cottage does provide safe secure parking, which is needed in Whitby. However, as described in the advert this is 5 mins away up a steep hill. Overall if there was just two of you, you could make it work. It didn’t work for us as a family. Having stayed in multiple Cottages in Whitby, this was the most disappointing. Due to the issues we left a day early.

  The lodge was a good size for 4 - plenty of room in lounge.

  However the kitchen let the accommodation down . There were 3 dirty looking frying pans but no saucepans. I did text owner who arrived about 90 mins later with some very greasy/ rusty / dusty pans. They were too late for us to cook and too dirty to use. He did explain I could wash them but that would have been an understatement. I took photos as they were disgusting. I did not go on holiday to scrub saucepans , I did not have a scourer or any cleaning materials . The power also kept tripping , couldn’t have hob or grill on at same time. The dishwasher was greasy and the container that holds the tablet didn’t open. I do understand we have to be careful with Covid but first time I have been to a rental with out any washing up liquid, toilet rolls, or a couple of dishwasher tablets. Suggestion to leave a vacuum out as rug in lounge could have done with it - also quite grubby. The rest of the lodge was very clean and nice touch with eggs and bread. Could do with WiFi .

  We had a fantastic week in this lovely apartment.

  It is in a great location just a stone’s throw from the beach It also has a nice leafy park just across the road for the kids to run around in. The views are absolutely superb. We were up early enough to see the sunrise most days. It really is a magical spectacle. The apartment itself is spacious and well appointed with comfy furniture and all the essentials needed for a comfortable stay. It was very clean and there were lots of nice additional touches including some snacks and a nice cake on arrival. The board games were a welcome addition- we played a lot of Frustration! We were lucky enough to have good weather most of the week so were able to enjoy the beach every day. Hall Garth park is also a great place for the children’s area and wide green space to explore. We visited the Hornsea Museum and also took a trip to Hull to visit the Deep and the East Park, also great for kids. All in all a very good experience, we hope to return.

  The cottage is small and quaint and has retained lots of original features.

  The pictures of the cottage in times gone by was a great feature. It has been renovated well and has modern amenities and a great kitchen/dining area, it is a small cottage but has everything we needed as a family of four. It is in a very central location, it is of note parking was an additional expense and for the week was 70.00. The owner was responsive to communication and was helpful with instructions, arrival and departure was easy and hassle free. There are a couple of issues that did impact our stay one was the sofa which is in dire need of replacement and the master bed which is also in need of a new mattress, if these two issues were rectified it would be a five star stay. A tip for Whitby is book the restaurants that have good reviews as they will be booked up and won’t accept walk ins.

  This cottage is everything as described and more.

  We were here in March and it was well heated and very warm and cosy. Everything at hand from tin foil to tea so no need to worry about forgetting anything. Right in the heart of Whitby with a lovely bakery next door and many pubs, shops, eateries and banks on the doorstep. A selection of beaches within a few minutes walk with amazing views and sea life, we saw a seal pup on one occasion and everywhere is dog friendly. The owner was easily contactable and the free wifi is a massive plus in the cottage. Our only worry, which didn't lead to an issue were the stairs from the top floor. They are quite steep and narrow, so we kept the lower floor lighting on overnight so avoided any stumbling to the bathroom in the night and everything worked out great. We would definitely return without question
