  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.

  I have given the property information a score of 2 purely because of the parking information. It has as the website states "off-street" parking for which scratch cards are issued, what it doesn't tell you is that the "off-street" parking is about a 15 minute walk from the property and that whilst you can get to the property by driving along Church Street this is a very tight cobbled street for which vehicular access is very restricted to certain days and times and parking outside for any period of time for off loading luggage etc would block the street. I really feel this should be made clearer on the website as should you be on your own with small children and dogs this could be quite stressful and not easy to manage. Apart from that the cottage is lovely with amazing views and couldn't fault it.

  Lovely break. Cottage in great location. Whitby busy for this March break so took awhile to get a car space in W permit spots. Something to bear in mind at peak times in Whitby. Great having the scratch cards so free parking for 4 days. Cottage has everything you need for a comfortable break. The balcony was lovely to sit out on the sunny days. Amazing views of Whitby. Need to be aware if people in cliffe cottage (next door) and they are using their roof terrace then this is directly in front of the kitchen window. Had to reach out to owner who was very helpful.

  Mount cottage is in a great location with a fantastic view over the harbour and up to the Abbey. Lovely comfortable beds, nice lounge area and very well equipped kitchen. The stairs were a bit challenging for my sisters but as we're all over 60 that's to be expected, I suppose. Parking was made easier by the tokens left for our use but bear in mind that they don't guarantee you a place close to the cottage. We ended up on car parks on a couple of occasions. Despite these little niggles, I'd happily stay here again when visiting Whitby.

  This is our favourite Whitby cottage and we've stayed in a few! After four visits we are still amazed by the views from the balcony where subject to seagull activity one can relax and have a meal, drinks or simply bask in the sun. In the event of bad weather - we've been lucky on recent visits - then there's a huge solid dining table for large jigsaws or one can take advantage of the new TV which has excellent reception and a good DVD player. It's well appointed and we've always been able to find anything we need.
