***STEEP STEPS - The staircase is quite steep and guests should be aware. Also there are steps leading from the property to the garden which guests should bear in mind if they have young children or elderly relatives with them.***
NO Children under 10 accepted at this property.
The parking is a problem especially unloading and loading as it’s a very busy road and if you have young children it’s quiet a distance so really it should be made quiet clear of this problem
The cottage is dated with ornaments everywhere and this gives it an old fashion feel, so makes it difficult with small children not to touch things
Because it sleeps up to 6, the kitchen is small and every cupboard is full and the fridge tiny, so not much room for food etc, there are 2 cupboards in the kitchen that are locked which could be used for more storage

This place is beautiful. Yes it’s not contemporary with the furnishings but it’s sympathetic to the property’s age and history. Comfortable for a family of 4 with teenage kids. Parking is about 2 mins walk down the road, secure, off road and whilst a little narrow it was fine for my discovery sport. Great location for exploring the local area , about 1.5 miles from Whitby and not far from the river and railway station. Great garden and we had a lovely stay.
Mr Frost
We loved the garden, it was quiet and private.
The walk alongside the railway line to Whitby was easy and enjoyable for us and our dogs (who were well served with local adventures).
The traffic noise outside the cottage was constant and loud and particularly impacted the front bedrooms. We felt that the cottage was very compact and far too small for the advertised six people. The parking was a long way away during the five trips needed to unload the car and carry everything uphill. Overall we felt the cottage was overpriced given its size and location.
Mr Bywood
Lovely cottage with beautiful garden. It was comfortable for 4 adults but a bit cosy for 6 adults in terms of the kitchen and bathroom facilities. Parking in the designated parking space was a bit tight for an estate car but there was plentiful on street parking. Yes, it’s on a busy road but that is clear when you book. Location is perfect for town and country. Would be happy to return.

If ever there was a cottage of charm, quirkiness and comfort then this was it. Ivy Cottage was a delight to stay in, it really was given up to all the comforts of home, the owners should be praised for their sympathetic restorations, decor and colour, not to mention heavenly beds and bed linen.
My sisters said, "anyone would think this was your cottage, it is so like what you would do". No wonder I felt so at home.
Obviously there is no parking outside, but the delights of an open fire and all home comforts far outway such trivia, and any way when the village was built it was by foot or horse and cart. So use your imagination magic away the vehicles and enjoy the delights of a virtually unspoilt village, we did and had a positively perfect few days away. Just what I needed, thank you.
Mrs Ady-Crouch
Lovely cosy cottage excellent base for exploring Whitby and the East Coast. Great Pub and Butchers in the village. We have had an amazing time with our family and we will be back soon.
