  I had the most delightful stay at this charming three-bedroom cottage in Whitby. First and foremost, the location is amazing. The balcony provides stunning panoramic views of Whitby Harbour – from the sea and both piers on the left, all the way around past the Abbey, to the bustling town on the right. The location of the cottage allows for easy exploration of Whitby, as it's within walking distance of most attractions. I thoroughly enjoyed strolling through the town and its enchanting back alleys. I'm always stumbling upon new and intriguing places I haven't seen before. Inside, the cottage is cosy, well-equipped and heated well, ensuring a comfortable stay. The charm of this place is amplified by its original features, giving it a unique character. Now, I must mention the quaint challenge of navigating steep stairs and steps around the cottage – a testament to its historical roots. It may be challenging for some. However, for me, it only added to the overall charm, reminiscent of the authentic feel of old cottages and it's what to expect in old buildings. Parking, though not directly outside due to the narrow one-way street, is conveniently solved with the provided permit for nearby parking. A small inconvenience easily overshadowed by the location and amazing views! Thank you for providing such a wonderful retreat.

  We had an amazing time at Borough House. A great house in the middle of the old part of town but tucked away from the crowds and noise. We loved being able to step out to the shops and explore without having to use the car. We had great weather and most days would eat our lunches overlooking the harbour - just a stone's throw from the front door. The beds are very comfortable with excellent linen and everywhere was incredibly clean and tidy. The rooms are very large - given the position of the house. The bathroom is up some stairs - but not much more than at home. My 86 year old Mum managed ok. We are all a little fitter than we were - which is a good thing! I highly recommend Borough House. Thank you for a great stay - and the wonderful welcome basket!

  We had a great stay in Hart Cottage.

  It was homely, warm and had everything you could possibly need. Beautifully furnished and stylishly decorated, it had a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. The bed was extremely comfortable and we loved the comfy chair too. There was a cupboard on the landing which had extra bedding, just in case. The fire was great, we loved it and so did the dogs. We loved feeding and watching the birds in the front garden and we kept filling the feeder up. The kitchen was super and easy to cook in. There were lots of special touches like the welcome pack with eggs, cake, milk etc, the nuts to feed the birds and the toiletries in the bathroom. I would highly recommend.

  Toilet seat needs replacing.

  Carpet sweeper huge beast of a thing I struggled to use, no way I could get it upstairs. Couldn’t find the fire guard. A stair gate would have been really useful . Loved the cottage, only downside was downstairs bathroom and very steep twisted stairs, my fisherman husband didn’t read the description properly, if he had we wouldn’t have come, we are in our late 70’s! That would have been a pity as it is lovely, in a beautiful area, with very convenient pub nearly next door. All very dog friendly, central location for walking, fishing and steam trains, lovely local people wherever we went. Recommend for fit and slim.

  Lovely cosy cottage in great location for walks and short distance from Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay and Scarborough.

  We have two dogs that thoroughly enjoyed the beaches especially Sand Ends to Whitby. We can highly recommend the very friendly Arncliffe Arms (run by Tony and Yvonne) which is about 6 doors away from Hart cottage for their Sunday roasts. I celebrated my 61st birthday in this pub and their very talented chef baked a birthday cake (coffee walnut - my favourite!) that my partner Carol had requested which they wouldn't take any payment for. Considering the time of year we had great weather which was a bonus to a perfect week away. Many thanks to Kirsty for providing her comfortable cosy cottage and welcome pack
