Guests say
Magpie cottage in Whitby is well-received for its superb location with easy access to the town centre and stunning views of the Abbey. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, the private garden, and the cosy wood burning stove. The property's layout, including en-suite bedrooms, is convenient for families and those with mobility issues.
Cleanliness
The property generally maintains good cleanliness, though some guests noted areas that could benefit from deeper cleaning, such as under the sofa and the dishwasher. The majority of reviews, however, reflect a satisfactory level of cleanliness.
Location
The location is highly praised for its proximity to Whitby centre, with easy walking access and pleasant views. The convenience of the location is a consistent positive throughout the reviews.
Comfort
Comfort is well-regarded, especially the wood burning stove and insulation. However, some guests found the beds hard and the upstairs showers difficult to use due to space constraints, which slightly affected the comfort score.
Facilities
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable living spaces. Maintenance issues with the boiler and bins were mentioned, as well as a lack of instructions for appliances, which suggests room for improvement in this area.
Thoughtfulness
Guests mentioned lovely gestures such as fresh flowers and milk, which contribute to a thoughtful welcome. However, as these gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, they are a delightful bonus rather than a standard provision.
