This cottage as absolutely stunning, the decor, the cleanliness and the location is ideal being less than 10 mins walk to the harbour. Hot tub is an extra bonus. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

What an amazing house and had everything you needed for an excellent stay. We were 6 friends coming to celebrate a 60th Birthday and we had a brilliant time. The welcome pack was much appreciated and we used the hot tub everyday especially after lots of good walks. The house is beautifully decorated and you felt at home straight away, so convenienRead moretly located in Whitby. Parking can be tricky but we used the scratch cards for two days and then parked in the pay and display carpark at StHildas with no issues. Would recommend this house for a stay in Whitby and will hopefully return soon. Hide

The Accommodation was absolutely first rate. Everything was catered for, Hot tub, TV in every room supported by Sky, Netflix and other channels. Kitchen and dining room perfect. Living room comfortable. Every room was decorated with taste, quality carpets and ornaments. The third floor bedroom had an excellent view of Whitby 199 steps and the Read moreabbey. It was also the perfect location for the topside of town with everything at hand, pub, bakery, wine shop, all sorts of interesting shops. There is a charming collectibles shop that will interest the hardened vintage collector. The sea front is also a stones throw away. There is nothing to dislike about the accommodation and its location. The proprietors were very welcoming and helpful, a phone call away. We had a lovely, comfortable week. Highly recommend this property, first class. Hide

Very clean and well equipped house. Brilliantly located for all amenities. Hot tub was the icing on the cake. One thing to be aware of, is parking is restricted, so peak season will be away from the property.

A lovely house that met all our needs. Location is great, just 3 minutes to local bars and pub for food or 5 minutes to the town. House is well equipped and the jacuzzi is lovely and hot. The house is beautifully presented.
