“We had a wonderfully week in Whitby. The property is in an excellent location. Right in the center of the town, but at the same time secluded and private. The garden was the highlight and a little oasis for us. We were able to enjoy private evening meals out on the patio.”

“A fabulous cottage, perfect location with a few minutes walk into the centre of Whitby and all the shops and restaurants. The cottage itself was cosy, warm and had everything we needed and its quirky features made for fun times especially getting up and down the spiral stairs renowned in old cottages. Bedrooms and beds were really comfy and bedding made us feel very relaxed. We didn’t have the weather to sit out in the garden but imagine it would be delightful. Would definitely recommend”

“We loved your cottage and really appreciated the skill and talent that had been put in to create a very attractive home. Only two criticisms we would make were that anyone booking the cottage ought to be made aware of the staircase which if you had impaired mobility would present a challenge and secondly although we used sat navy locate the property it took us to the road near the Magpie and opposite the fish market and there was no indication on the property information that the cottage had to be accessed up a set of steps next to the Delicattesen - not easy to find so a better description as to how exactly the cottage is located and how to access it would be useful. And just a third thing I feel anyone staying should be made aware that parking is some distance from the cottage - and although we found the car parking ticket I do think that in your literature confirming the booking it should be clearer as to the existence of the ticket and how it should be used.”
