Cleanliness, equipment and location flawless. Major negative was the sole rainfall shower. For decent hygiene these should always be installed with a detachable hand held head; we are not all contortionists. As an added annoyance, both the pressure and the water temperature - not above 38C - had been throttled in the shower. Both were fine in the kitchen sink suggesting this was intentional. Other minor points; bedroom is very narrow so the wooden double bed end results in bruises and there is nowhere to hang towels while in bathroom. Sort these things and all would be perfect.

Its so easy to get around and walkable to Whitby harbour. Parking was easy. Bed was comfortable, shower was great. Great use of space. Lovely kiosk for hot drinks and appreciating the view, beach not far away. So relaxed after my stay there, making plans to come back in September.
