  No doubting the cleanliness of the cottage, the finishing touches were very welcome,the description of the property was spot on!

  ! All the welcome goodies made for a perfect start to our break . There are pros and cons; Pros ; I think I have listed most above, the location is ideal. Purely on those I would book again!! However !! The cons!!! Parking, is not ideal, yes if I wanted the chore of parking at garden centre and making numbrous trips up and down the hill to retrieve my car then it would have been ok, I didn't!! The cost of parking in Whitby added extra cost to our break , whilst not a problem I really didn't want to pay it,so that on its own would make me think twice about re booking. The stairs are steep!! Felt a bit short changed as only one set described as steep!! Television was very small and tinney!! Could do with being in the bedroom, sofa and chairs not very comfortable. Any person booking the cottage should be aware of the locals morning activities!! Every morning at approximately 6.20 we were awoken by either, bar owners emptying bottles or delivery drivers making deliveries or to cap it all off the bin men collecting rubbish!!! We actually left a day and a half early to come back to Devon to get some sleep!!! That was something that we didn't want to do!!! We would happily book in Whitby again sadly not at this particular property

  The place was spotlessly clean and well equipped in the kitchen.

  The welcome items were a great surprise. Unfortunately the heating never came on ,apart from the smallest radiator in the small room at the top(and I downloaded the heating manual too). The WiFi was rubbish, we ended up having to use our data all week,which included having to purchase extra data from our Network providers. The biggest problem was the noise. I have been staying on Haworth's Main Street for over 20 years,so I am very used to tourist noise/pub noise and do not mind it,but every day we were woke up early with the noise from bin lorries, skip lorries, workmen shouting. One morning a council vehicle came up to collect bin bags before 5am!! It was like sleeping in the Goods In yard at work!! Also every night there was a howling/crying dog too. In the end we had to go and purchase ear plugs ! There should be a note put on the website to explain about the early morning noise and that lay ins past 5-7am are impossible. I absolutely love Whitby,but this time,I was glad to get home and be able to wake up naturally without being woken up.

  *THIS feed back was left in a note for CLEANERS TO PASS ON TO YOU on a 1 YEAR AGO PREVIOUS STAY !

  1/.Single bed is positioned so that between mattress & wall THERE IS A FT. WIDE GAP DOWN WHICH I FELL TWICE DURING THE NIGHT WHILST ASLLEP. 2/. Bed STORAGE DRAW is BROKEN 3/. SHOWER WAS RED HOT & tap adjustment DID NOT ALTER SETTING. 4/. l also SLIPPED IN THE SHOWER because there was NO SHOWER MAT so l went & bought one! 5/. KITCHEN TAP WAS HANGING OFF 6/. Appartment has NO WASHING MACHINE which is ESSENTIAL IF CHILDREN ARE STAYING)! 7/. COMPLIMENTARY BISCUITS WERE COMPLETELY STALE ! 8/. " SALT & PEPPER were just 2 TINY 'cafe' sachets * SO l added these BASIC ESSENTIALS to MY shopping LIST!. 9/. The OVEN CLOCK NEEDED SETTING FOR OVEN TO WORK. There was NO INFO 4 this & we UNSUCCESSFULLY spent an HOUR trying to amend it! 10/. ALL COAT HOOKS & SHELVES were TOO HIGH to reach for anyone UNDER 5 FT. 11/ Our reason for a second visit was because of THE SEA VIEW which is its big draw.

  Very pleasant apartment with lovely views.

  Ideal for 2 adults and 2 children. 4 adults would be a bit tight - the second bedroom only has room for the two beds although there is ample storage space underneath them. However, there is a large hanging rail with plenty of hangers in the main bedroom. For anyone who prefers to buy their own food rather than rely on take-aways the fridge is a little small and icebox very limited. No freezer. However, shops are just a few minutes away. For anyone who doesn't know Scarborough (and we didn't) this flat is facing North Bay - much quieter than South Bay with it's amusement arcades etc. The parking permits provided were extremely helpful - we were able to park for free outside the apartment without an issue, but obviously at a quiet time of year. Owners were responsive and helpful via mobile and the place was spotlessly clean and well equipped with plenty of cutlery and crockery etc. Lots of games for any children. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay despite the storms !

  What a great stay in Caedmon's Rest.

  Situated where everything is close by and to walk to, we couldn't have asked for better. The stairs to the bedroom would be difficult for some, especially elderly and infirm, although we managed them just fine, and in my mind, I viewed the steepness and slight lean as being a quirky characteristic of the building's age. Very clean overall, and maybe a wee lick of paint would freshen up this lovely place. The next comment may seem an unnecessary grumble, as we didn't intend to watch TV, but every evening we did - and being that it was a small hotel bedroom telly, we found our only gripe was about it needing to be upgraded (a bit bigger at least and less tinny sound). It's about the overall experience after all. To conclude; we left feeling like we'd had a good rest - which is all we wanted and needed - and we'll definitely recommend Caedmon's Rest to our family and friends - and return ourselves when we next visit Whitby Excellent!!
