Guests say
Bobby's Cottage in Whitby is praised for its excellent location, cleanliness, and thoughtful touches like fresh milk and biscuits. While compact, the property is well-designed and equipped with necessary amenities. However, comfort is compromised by an uncomfortable mattress, and there are some concerns about noise and waste bin odour outside.
Guests consistently note the property's cleanliness, with specific mentions of a spotless shower and overall fresh and clean condition. This suggests high standards are maintained.
The location is highly commended for being central and within a short walk to the harbour and shops, making it an ideal base for exploring Whitby.
The main detractor for comfort is the mattress, which several guests found unsatisfactory. However, the property's layout and amenities are otherwise appreciated.
Facilities are generally good, with mentions of a powerful shower and necessary appliances. However, the lack of live TV and issues with waste bins and noise from nearby construction affect the score.
Guests appreciated the thoughtful provision of items like milk and biscuits. While these gestures are well-received, it should be noted that such extras are subject to availability and not guaranteed.

I knew the location would be perfect but was pleased with the accommodation, it was all lovely and clean and had everything I needed. I was particularly impressed with the shower, even the sealant was spotless but on top of that, it was also hot and powerful. I also felt very safe due to the second (combination lock) door which enclosed all three "cottages", it was like our own gated community (although I never saw the others). If I were to mention very slight downsides, the sofa was a little too low for me and I was disappointed not to be able to watch live TV but neither of these were of great significance and had no impact much on my brilliant weekend. I will definitely come back to Bobby's next year.
