We had a great family weekend at The Mumbles. There was everything we needed for us to enjoy our break. The Mumbles is beautiful place to stay, it is well kept and felt like home. The property is situated in a convenient location close to local amenities.
Mit viel Liebe zum Details sehr stimmig und gemütlich eingerichtet. Alles entsprach voll und ganz der Beschreibung und unseren Erwartungen. Sehr sauber, alles nötige vorhanden. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder. Perfekt für eine Familie.
Excellent place to stay for a few nights in Whitby. Good value although the £90 cleaning fee of 3 nights - and the £10 "admin" fee for sending a security deposit - is a bit too expensive/cheeky. Especially as they are already covered through Air B&B's insurance. The walls to next door are a little thin and we could here next door chatting. But it wasn't too bad. I would recommend it - but maybe not for a family with very young children.
My parents, wife, 2 year old son and I have just had a fantastic stay at this lovely place. Couldn't ask for anything else. Would highly recommend 😊.
Great place. Good value for 5-6 people.
Absolutely beautiful property, everything was as described in the listing and the hosts were friendly and quick to respond to any questions. Plenty of information available about the property which made check in super easy, lots of info if we had any questions. Myself and my friends had a great stay in the heart of Whitby and would definitely love to come back!
Lovely cottage, great location just off Skinner Street one of the main streets in whitby. Very clean, good facilities. Seperate toilet and bathroom, no wash hand basin in toilet. Parking is good for small to medium car you might struggle with a big car. Also only key, we where 2 couples and went on seperate outings some days, nerds another key. Stayed 16th-21st June 2024.
Great location and lovely house. Comfortable for 5 of us .Would certainly recommend when visiting Whitby. Only downside was inconsistent wifi - essential unfortunately with 3 teenagers. Otherwise great place.
Enjoyable. Would definitely stay there again, but would take some pans etc with me! Positive: The house was very comfortable and homely. There was space for both our (small) cars to park, and we could easily walk to all the local amenities. Negative: Not enough equipment for six people to prepare food; no saucepans apart from the bottom of a steamer that wasn’t large enough, no kitchen scissors and no egg cups, so no boiled eggs for breakfast, which is what we’d wanted. Also, the shower tray is very large and slippery and could do with some grab rails.
Exceeded expectations Positive: House immaculate and location brilliant, parking for 2 cars an added bonus
Very good would recommend Positive: Location, facilities, cleanliness Negative: WGW always expensive Window cleaner parked in property bay along side car on morning of departure making a shunt necessary to get out
Lovely accommodation, great location
Great stay. Mastered the parking by end of week. Very short walk to shops and Whitby harbour and beach. Very comfortable property with everything we needed for our stay. Excellent location for exploring Whitby and nearby coast.
A relaxing break in a stunning location Positive: A beautiful, spotlessly clean cottage in the centre of Whitby. Free onsite parking was an absolute bonus.
Lovely well equipped cottage located within walking distance of Whitby Centre but just far enough away to be peaceful and quiet. It was finished very well, very clean and was great to have two parking spaces and an outside seating area. I would suggest a run through on Google maps to familiarise yourself with the route to the parking before leaving home - that made it really simple.
Our second stay at Mumbles cottage - its in a great location , just a few minutes walk either to West Cliff or down to the harbour. The house is well equipped, cosy and welcoming and decorated beautifully. Will definitely be booking a 3rd stay!
Great location, beautiful, clean cottage. Positive: Great location, clean, comfortable house and beautiful decorated. Close to the town centre and the beach. Ideal for walking everywhere. Would definitely recommend. Negative: The road to the parking spots was really tight, but it seems like most of the roads in Whitby are. The only thing that wasn't adequate was the amount of toilet roll, we were given 4 rolls for 6 people over 3 nights, when really 6 rolls would have covered us, we had to buy more.
Couldn't fault the property , it was very clean and the host was excellent and very informative. the parking at the property looked very good just the roads to the parking were very narrow and I was too scared to drive my car there in case I scraped it (but probably could have managed it) Will definitely use this property again , thank you for an excellent stay.
Fab, hope to visit again sometime
Great location for a few days in Whitby as able to walk to all of the main attractions. Getting to the parking spaces was quite tight but manageable. Host was very responsive to any queries we had
The place was very nice and central - everything we needed was walking distance. Looked like the photos. Nicely decorated.
Upon arrival in the town the instructions and the app were very useful and clear to find the rear parking at the property. Parking was one of the reasons I chose this property as I didn’t want the hassle. The property was actually better than the photos. Everything was there ready for your stay, even milk in the fridge. There was washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets and even washing tabs which is something I regularly forget. The property comfortably suited 6 adults. A few mins walk in either direction to the town or nearest shop. Lovely gravel garden with seating to enjoy the sun between trips.
great weekend Positive: Great location not too far from the center, clean big rooms. Negative: the access could was tight but unfortunately that cant be changed
Lovely property in a great location. Beautifully decorated and very clean.
Stay was initially derailed by arriving after 6 hour car journey to find other guests had parked in our driveway and taken residence in our booked cottage before going out. Tried contacting host/Airbnb but just getting recorded messages. After 40 minutes Decided to try code on adjoining cottage. Got in as code was identical. The other people for some inexplicable reason had ignored the massive signs with Mumbles on or spent a microsecond to wonder about the implications of taking residence in cottage they hadn’t booked. There were 3 adults in the party but took until Monday to get apology from the bloke. Woman doubled down on her stupidity, stating they arrived in the dark ( complete lie- it was 4pm) and “just wanted to get inside”. So, I am unable to comment on Mumbles Cottage but can confirm that Tenby Cottage is actually rather gorgeous and beautifully decorated and kitted out. Fabulous location. Finding the parking was a bit of a challenge but there is a generous parking space.
Great location in a popular holiday town. Parking was a bonus and the house had everything we needed.
Absolutely beautiful house - just how you’d expect a coastal house to be - and very well equipped. Well-located, only a 5 minute walk and you’re by the sea or heading into Whitby. Very clean and no complaints about the property. Check in was easy, and Host & Stay are very responsive & informative. The parking is at the back of the property with very narrow roads, arriving at night meant we did scrape the car - not an issue, just a heads up - as we were grateful for a place with 2 car parking spaces.
Positive: Never been to Whitby before and where the cottage is. It is surrounded by alley ways, and close set houses and buildings There are no major roads near by so you can't hear traffic what so ever. Very peaceful and very close to everything you need from cafes bars the harbour and entertainment. The cottage is clean well presented and comfortable with everything you need should you want to cook for yourself. I highly recommend this for a place to stay but should you have two cars take the smallest one. Negative: Nothing to dislike. It's clean bright and comfortable and feels like a home.
Enjoyable Positive: Very well equipped Negative: Crowded area
Beautiful cottage, very high standard of furnishings and décor. Felt right at home immediately. Had absolutely everything we needed and more. On a quiet back street but within 5-10 minutes you were in the heart of Whitby, Loads of local takeaways and restaurants and easy reach of very large Co-op. Fantastic to have parking but the access for cars is very tight. It was doable in our Volvo XC40 but I wouldn't recommend anything bigger!
Very good, if we come back to Whitby we would stay there again Positive: The location and parking Negative: Nothing
Alojamiento limpio y muy bien situado. El parking es de agradecer, ya que es complicado aparcar en el pueblo. Lo usamos de base para conocer los pueblos costeros y los North Yorkshire Moors. Totalmente recomendable.
Excellent only one critique the shower control is defective
A fantastic property in a central location but so peaceful. We loved the kitchen and it's very sociable large table. Everywhere was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Having two parking spaces in the centre of Whitby was just fantastic. Very impressed with the communication from Host and Stay especially the easy to download APP that was just for the property with all the information easy to access. Highly recommend both Mumbles Cottage and Host and Stay.
Lovely cottage , cosy and comfortable. Really quiet location but easy walking into town or up to west cliff - great spot. Very clean , gorgeous bathroom , soft towels and super comfy beds .
Positive: Great location. Easy walking distance to everything you want but also fairly quiet. Lovely little outside space too.
This place was perfect for us - close enough to the middle of Whitby to walk everywhere but on a quiet street so we weren’t disturbed by town noise Parking can be tricky to find as it’s at the back of the house but instructions from the host were great. Host was super response and proactive.
We had a lovely break staying in the mumbles cottage. It is in such a great location for all things Whitby has to offer and there is parking for 2 cars.
Positive: Perfect location. High quality cottage with everything you could need
Ideal location in centre of Whitby. Parking a real plus. Spacious comfortable and light, plenty of room for six. Well equipped kitchen, excellent shower. Overall, one of the best holiday cottages we have had in a while!
Extremely comfortable. Ideal central location for any part of Whitby. Very well equipped and lovely private outside space. Ideal for a quiet drink or just relaxing in the sun. Spacious kitchen with everything you would need. Appreciated the recommendations for local restaurants. Private parking is a must in Whitby so this was a definite bonus. The cottage has been furnished to a high degree and really cosy. Would certainly recommend to anyone.
Lovely little cottage-type house. Pretty much the centre of Whitby, walking distance to everything you'd need. Easy to find - although parking is around the back, and the streets leading to the parking space are very narrow (for reference, we managed to get an Audi Q3 in and parked, but I wouldn't be confident with anything bigger). Acceptably clean, although given that you pay a cleaning fee on top of the regular fee, I would've expected things to be immaculate, which they weren't. Nothing to complain about, but another run around with a hoover and duster wouldn't have gone amiss. Toilets very small - not a problem for us, but genuinely if you're a bigger than average you might have trouble getting in and shutting the door! Shower lovely and big. Kitchen more than adequate and well stocked with essentials. Appreciate the tea, coffee and milk left for us. Overall v good stay, and would stay again.
Perfect in every way Positive: Everything was perfect Negative: Wobbly toilet seat🤣🤣 not a deal breaker
A lovely few days in Whitby. The location is in a lovely secluded spot with the benefit of off-street parking and is just 5 minutes from the waterfront. House is clean, tidy, well equipped and has plenty of space. Would definitely recommend and come back!
Mumbles Positive: Decor, facilities location Negative: Car access, v.difficult in a large 4x4 Shower water temp v.high, unable to alter
The cottage was beautifully furnished with lots of cool seaside features and very clean. Great location, with a bakery on the doorstep and the beach and fish and chips galore within a stone’s throw. We loved our first trip to Whitby- the Abbey, microbreweries everywhere, romantic windy streets and interesting shops. Only stress was finding the cottage and manoeuvring a big car through narrow streets, so make sure you read the instructions in the guidebook before you come!
