    Spent a week relaxing in cosy comfort in the heart of Whitby and everyday I literally walked down the steps between the cottages onto the beach with Betty

  • Toni

    Maybe a curtain against door would help.Also if neighbours were out smoking you could not open kitchen window and could smell this through bathroom window, needed bathroom window open if you had shower as no fan.

  • Elizabeth

    Brilliant location and beautiful little cottage with everything we needed. Would definitely book again.
