Maplebeck

What a fantastic place to stay!

The property is set in a beautiful, tranquil setting and the property itself provides everything that you need and More! The decor is absolutely beautiful and the kitchen is the best equipped that we have stayed in, it has everything including air fryer and slow cooker (although we didn’t use these). We loved to sit on the balcony from the main bedroom and watch the wildlife, it was so relaxing! You can walk into whitby in around 30 minutes at a leisurely pace (although there are a couple of steep hills but these can be avoided if you park near the entrance to the complex and stick to the cinder path. I had contact with the owner Lisa and she was so pleasant and lovely to communicate with. I would definitely recommend this property!!

Lovely cottage.

The owner was great with communication and advice. Our only issue was that the mattress in the main bedroom wasn't very comfortable. Other than this it is a lovely cottage in a great location.

We had a very relaxing short break at Maplebeck.

The property is very comfortable with excellent hospitality. The owner checked in with us a couple of times, making sure we had what we needed so we could make best use of the property and surrounding area. Loved the walk into Whitby over the viaduct, the footpath is surfaced and so I would expect it is good in all weathers. Beautiful views and fabulous area to visit. An excellent stay.

Maplebeck was a lovely cottage.

Very clean with lots of interesting ornaments. The kitchen was fully kitted out with everything you could need. Unfortunately we didn't see any seals but it was very interesting to watch the high and low tides on the river.

We loved staying at Maplebeck.

The house is absolutely lovely. Loved sitting on the balcony or patio and watching the river. It was very peaceful and a great locality to Whitby. The kitchen is well equipped and very clean. The bathrooms are also lovely and clean. We would love to come back to this holiday cottage in the future and would highly recommend it to anyone.

This is a well appointed and comfortable cottage.

It is in a great location for either exploring Whitby and the surrounding areas, walking or just relaxing watching the wildlife on the river. Thanks to Lisa for the welcome basket on arrival and for her communication with us throughout our stay. Would recommend. Bob.

Lovely cosy cottage in a great location.

The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable. The location is quiet and peaceful but has supermarkets 5 mins drive away which is very handy. It's ideal for visiting Whitby and the rest of the coast.

If we could have given more stars we would have.

We just got back from here and it was a perfect place for us. We arrived and the house was lovely and warm with heating left on for us, everything was perfect. We will be back that's for sure and we will be telling to our friends aswell. Thank You Lisa as nothing was too much trouble you went above and beyond to make our stay perfect.

We fell in love with this cottage the minute we walked in the door.

There were fresh flowers on the table and a lovely goodie basket, plus milk in the fridge. The decoration and furnishings are lovely with a patio downstairs and a balcony of the main bedroom. It is a lovely peaceful location and we are hoping to go back in the spring. It is about 10 mins driving to Whitby and we had no trouble parking. There is a Sainsbury's, Aldi and Food wWarehouse about 5 minutes drive away.

Had a great two weeks staying in Maplebeck Cottage.

Ideal place to base yourself, within easy walking distance of Whitby and Ruswarp, with beautiful scenery to match.

Lisa was a brilliant host, there were roadworks close to the Cottage and she gave us spot on directions to get us there.

Nothing was too much trouble, she was in touch at the start and end of the stay, answering any questions we had. The Cottage, what can we say, simply wonderful, such attention to detail, so very comfortable and well equipped, you couldn't wish for better. The welcome basket was perfect, even something in it for our pooch. Lots of wildlife sightings from the balcony overlooking the river, even seals popped up to say hello. We would have no trouble recommending maplebeck, and will certainly be back. Lovely peaceful get away, just what we needed with our little dog.

Lovely and beautifully decorated cottage in stunning location.

Easy 25 min walk into Whitby via viaduct and old railway line, lots of nature can be seen from house (kingfishers, seals etc) and its a lovely part of the UK. House v clean and well equipped and presented. Would highly recommend.

Excellent property in prime position on the river.

Have stayed here previously and once again it didn’t disappoint. The only problem is it’s up for sale so unlikely to be staying again

We loved our stay at Maplebeck.

It is one of the best properties we have ever stayed in. The location was perfect - close enough to Whitby but much calmer and a more relaxing environment. The house is so cosy and beautifully decorated and furnished and the outside environment has many opportunities to observe Nature. The owner was very helpful prior to our arrival and had set the table to look inviting when we arrived, and left a welcome bottle of wine and goodies for us. We loved our week here - thank you.

very loverly cottage

A wonderful property with amazing views on a tranquil, quiet setting yet close to the centre of town.

The cottage is very comfortable and had everything we needed.

Lovely little cottage with all of the home comforts.

Ideally location for exploring the coastline or North Yorkshire moors. Lovely welcome pack on arrival.

Lovely clean cottage with every thing you are likely to need.

Beautiful location by side of river with views of steam trains on opposite side

Maplebeck is a lovely cottage with everything you need, even the dog has a box of toys, bowls, etc.

It's great to sit on the balcony and watch the boats, rowers and wildlife on the river. It's location is great with an easy 20 minute walk into Whitby. It's a great base to explore all the nearby villages. We had a lovely walk along the Cinder path to Robin Hood's Bay and back again along the coastal path - lovely views. I would recommend a stay at the cottage. Thanks Lisa

Great location, really quiet and peaceful.

The cottage is very well appointed with all items you might need. Close to local supermarkets and not too far outside Whitby center.

Our stay was wonderful.

The weather was perfect and so was the cottage. Everything had been thought of. It really was home from home. The owner was very thoughtful. The heating had been put on because although the weather was beautiful it turned chilly at nights. We were left a lovely welcome pack with wine, cake, biscuits and sweets. Would totally recommend this place to anyone.

Lovely cottage decked out with seaside decor and accessories.

The cottage was also decorated for Easter and a nice welcome basket on arrival. Property abit snug for 5 people and the sofa bed could do with being updated as not very comfortable. Everything else in the cottage amazing. Great base for travel to Whitby and the rest of the Yorkshire coast.

This property { Maplebeck } is excellent .

It has everything you need and more. Well situated for plenty of walks and views over the river ESK. Plenty of parking spaces. The only minus is the distance from WHITBY. Though you can walk to Whitby along the cinder track with magnificent views.

By far 1 of the nicest Holiday Cottages we have stayed in.

We will definately stay there again

Gorgeous little hideaway, really dog friendly and so quiet and relaxing.

Once you’ve walked the steep road to the viaduct, the cinder path is an easy going 40 mins walk into Whitby. (Or 20 if you like a route march!) The views are worth the hill. The views from the cottage are worth staying in for, even star gazing on a clear night is spectacular. Lisa has thought of everything and is an excellent host, on text if anything needed or to suggest things to look out for. Whitby distillery is walking distance at the moment, for a gin and rum tour which is brilliant. A fabulous week. Our lad was able to use the extra room upstairs to work on his uni dissertation whilst we watched tv in the evenings so that was a boon for us too. We’ll definitely come again.

This is our fifth visit to Maplebeck this year, and despite the rain and snow, we had a great holiday.

After our usual trips we had a lovely warm and cosy cottage to come back to. The weather outside was frightening, but we were snug as a bug in a rug. We believe this cottage has the best unrestricted view around the river bend, and are always fascinated when watching the wildlife on the river. Seeing the steam train pass by on the opposite side of the river is an added bonus, and being visited each day by the ducks looking in the patio doors to let us know it’s time to be fed is the icing on the cake. Not only is there plenty of parking outside the cottage, the dedicated walks into Whitby let us avoid taking the car into town. Yet more improvements to the cottage had been made since our last visit in October. The owner is determined her guests are going to enjoy their break in a comfortable and relaxing setting. Thank you. Your efforts are much appreciated.

Wonderful homely feel in one of the best locations you could hope for.

Lovely and clean with lots of nice touches. Everything you need to make it a wonderful holiday. Loved it and will be back

Loved everything about it x

what a wonderful little gem just a stones throw from whitby!

communication from lisa was fantastic & the cottage has everything you could ever need,even an air fryer! beautiful location & wildlife,lovely walks nearby.we were so impressed & will definately return if we come back to whitby.thank you lisa xx

Maplebeck is a true haven.

Such a relaxing retreat. You have thought of everything….making the place so comfortable and home from home. (Loving the kitchen bin….took me a day to realise it worked by sensor….genius!) Especially enjoyed sitting out on the balcony upstairs (so lucky with the weather)…it was so tranquil. Recommend the cinder track walk along the top of the viaduct into Whitby; Trencher’s chippie in Whitby, Robin Hood’s Bay, Staithes, Hare & Hounds (YO22 4LH), delicious Sunday lunch at nearby Bridge Inn (YO21 1NJ). The welcome hamper was a lovely bonus. We will definitely be back.

Stay on captain cooks haven a few times this was the most gorgeous cottage with have stayed in

Maplebeck Cottage was perfect.

A lovely cottage sitting on the River Esk, under a lovely viaduct. We sat on the balcony most mornings with our cups of tea, watching the rowing boats and even seals swimming up & down the river. Lisa was the perfect host from initial booking up to the day we left. There was also a lovely welcoming pack. It’s a twenty minute walk into Whitby or a 4 min drive. A lovely cottage in a lovely town. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Excellent clean property in very quiet location with plenty of private parking.

Lovely welcome pack for us and our dog.Ive stayed before and will again.

What a lovely cottage in a stunning location.

It was the perfect place for a few days away.

Another wonderful holiday in Maplebeck.

This is the best holiday cottage of its size in Riverside Walk due to its proximity to the river, the view from the balcony and patio, the large lawn at the front of the cottage, and privacy. The cottage itself is extremely well equipped, very cosy and comfortable. A beautiful welcome basket always greats us when we arrive. Weather was disappointing for some of the week, but being tucked away, snug in this cottage, with the games and reading material provided, made up for it.

Well kept cottage in lovely location under the Larpool Viaduct on the edge of the River Esk.

Look out for the steam and diesel trains that regularly pass in the morning. Cottage was just the right size for myself, husband and Chester the Jack Russell. Great for exploring Whitby - a 5k round trip if walking -or the Yorkshire Moors for great walks. Couple of very minor gripes - downstairs toilet urgently needs to be looked at by a plumber. we stopped using during our stay due to fear of flooding. Lots of kitchen appliances available to use including slow cooker and air fryer but no toaster? Overall a nice weeks stay.

Excellent cottage in a beautiful location.

Lovely holiday.

Maplebeck is a wonderful cottage.

It has everything you need and is truly home from home. The cottage is on the River Esk, so it is in a tranquil setting to just sit out and watch the wildlife. It's a pleasant walk into Whitby using the Cinder path. The communication with the owner is fantastic, a lovely welcome pack was waiting on our arrival. We would highly recommend Maplebeck.

it is a lovely cottage with every thing you need for a perfect holiday.

the views from the balcony are fantastic. if you book direct through maplebeck facebook page it is also a lot cheaper

Maplebeck is by far the nicest private cottage in Riverside Walk in which I have holidayed - having stayed in others when Maplebeck was not available.

Car parking virtually at the door; a very large, mostly private, expanse of grass to sunbathe and play with the dog; great views of the activity on the river from the top balcony and the patio. The cottage is stocked with everything you could ever need - and a lot more besides. Each time I visit further improvements have been made - new doors, bedroom furniture, kitchen, and dining area. The owner is determined to provide her guests with a comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable holiday, right down to the beautiful welcome basket. If you love Whitby, this is the place to stay to make your experience just perfect. My next visit is already booked.

Maplebeck Cottage is very cosy,clean, and warm.

A great location close to Whitby,20 minute walk and 10 minutes in car. On arrival we had a lovely welcome pack we appreciated and Lisa the owner contacted us shortly after arrival to ask if we needed anything.Overall a great holiday and would recommend to anyone .We are looking forward to returning next year.

We only stayed at Maplebeck for a short break, but found everything in the property, that you could possibly need, the view of the river, and the viaduct where exactly as described in the details.

.. We must thank Lisa, the owner, who went above and beyond to help us, I can't recall any of the previous holiday properties we have stayed in when we have been contacted by the actual owner...and certainly not in an intrusive way, but just to say by text that we could have use of the cottage before the actual check in time, and to help us over another matter that wasn't property related... Certainly if we choose to stay in that area again, Maplebeck would be my first choice... Our dog settled very well there aswell...

Another great stay at Maplebeck, great location for watching all the wildlife on the river including seals,The accomodation is nicely decorated and furnished and equipped with everything you could possibly need.

The owner Lisa and Rob go above and beyond making sure you have a great stay ,we will be back.

We had a wonderful stay at Maplebeck and would definitely stay again.

The cottage was equipped with everything we needed and was home from home. Thank you to the owner for all the home comforts. We loved it

The cottage was in a lovely position, right by the river with uninterrupted views down the river.

Lots of wildlife. The cottage had outdoor seating, and a balcony to make the most of the views. It was utterly relaxing! The cottage was comfortable, well equipped, and was perfect for us. The bonus was the viaduct, a lovely place to walk the dog, and timing it right we got to see the steam train going under the viaduct. We had a fantastic stay.

We loved the property.

This was our 5th visit to the area and it was the best property we've stayed in. The cottage itself was thoughtfully equipped with all visitors would require, from umbrellas, torches and dog bowls to a good stock of kitchen and tableware, towels and comfortable outdoor furnishings. The surroundings were peaceful with lovely views of the river. The owner Lisa, obviously values and cares for her visitors' comfort and enjoyment. Many thanks, Lisa for a wonderful stay.

Sykes provided me with all of the information I needed, the app is really helpful.

The property was exactly as described, and Lisa, the owner was very prompt and courteous regarding the few enquiries I made . No hesitation in recommending this cottage.

Lisa works very hard to provide a high quality holiday house.

It felt like a real home and the welcome pack superb. Tea bags, coffee and sugar stocked up too. Rock on Lisa!!!!! Location is also brilliant. Very pleasant walk up to the viaduct and along the "Cinder Track" into town -about 1 mile - would solve any parking issues. That'll be a real bonus at peak times,

The cottage was very clean, comfortable and extremely well equipped.

Lisa was amazing too. We had a very minor query during our stay and she responded within minutes and sorted the query very quickly. The location and surroundings of the property were amazing. We would definitely recommend this cottage.

Beautiful, well maintained property in an idyllic location.

There was everything we required in the cottage to make our stay enjoyable. Arrived to a lovely welcome basket, courtesy of the owner who was extremely friendly and helpful throughout. Very dog friendly area and only 20 minutes on foot in to Whitby. Would definitely visit again and highly recommend to anyone considering a trip to Whitby, you won’t regret it.

This lovely property feels like a home from home, warm, comfortable with lovely soft furnishings.

It is very clean. It has a lovely balcony and patio from which to enjoy the pretty view of the river. Thoughtful extras such as books and games included. It also has the useful little extras you need on a self catering weekend break. Even the towels were of good quality! The owner was very kind, helpful and thoughtful. Would highly recommend and hope to be back next summer.

Wonderful place in an excellent spot.

Fully equipped and very homely. We had a great time and the walk into Whitby by the Cinder Track was definitely the best way to get in to the centre and enjoy a car free day out.

We had a wonderful stay, beautiful place like a home from home, nothing we didn't like.

We would love to come back for another visit, loved the ducks visiting on a morning, daily walks into Whitby via the cinder path and afternoons on the balcony.

We struck gold when we chose Maplebeck.

Spotlessly clean with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The views from Mapledeck were spectacular and it was a lovely walk down the Cinder Track into Whitby (about 25 mins). The cottage was tastefully decorated and the 'goodie baskets' for us, as well as our dogs, were much appreciated. Would certainly recommend. Marks out of ten - 11+

After numerous stays in Whitby I can honestly say this stay has been by far the best.

Everything about Maplebeck is superb. The location is perfect, the views over the River Esk and the changing tides with the occasional seal are wonderful to watch. Every effort has been made by the owner to ensure all her guests have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. My self and my partner were so impressed we have rebooked for September and are counting the days.

We had a great time at Maplebeck beautiful views down the river Esk ,the owner had gone that extra mile with decorating and everything you could possible need was there ,stayed many times in the area but this was definitely the best .

We will be back . Ste ,lorraine and Gerry the dog

Lovely house.

Our second visit will definitely be back

What more can I say other than "amazing", location perfect and views were wonderful from opening blind in bedroom first thing in the morning until returing to bed.

The cottage was a true home from home and as soon as you walked in you can see the attention to detail ( especially halloween decorations which we loved ). Sometimes you stumble across a cottage that just ticks all the boxes and you find yourself planning when you can visit again before you have left. Lovely arrival basket of treats went down very well. Thank you for an amazing break.

Another wonderful holiday in this beautiful cottage.

Each time we visit Lisa has made further improvements. She has thought of everything and anything you could possibly need is provided. A big bonus is the dog friendly touches - rugs, bowls, toys and long lead. We cannot recommend this cottage highly enough.

We have stayed in Maplebeck many times.

It is clear that Lisa , the owner has spent considerable time and expense making it as cost snd homely as possible. It’s a fabulous cottage in an idyllic location. We will def return

Absolutely lovely cottage.

Good quality furnishings, & decor. Decent sized TVs too. Well equipped kitchen; & good to find some cupboards left empty for customer use !! As the property is dog friendly, can we politely suggest a rubber mat / waterproof mat to put dog food & water bowls on - to protect the flooring. Cottage location was fab also. Will certainly recommend to family & friends.

What a lovely week me, my hubby and Myrtle our dog had at Maplebeck.

One of the nicest cottages we have stayed in. Well equipped and clean. The bed was comfy , not sure about it being king size as in listing. More like double. The welcome basket was a lovely touch and much appreciated. Comfortable cottage in a lovely quiet location. We was sad to leave. Loved the decor .Watching the wildlife coming and going was wonderful, we saw seals, kingfishers, rabbits and bats in the evening. The very friendly ducks visited often , we counted 34 at one point. Great to see the steam trains running across the other side of the river. Walk into Whitby along the cinder track took us about 25 - 30 minutes. We will definitely return. Well done Lisa on creating a beautiful home from home cottage.

A lovely,clean holiday cottage, which felt like home.

We really enjoyed our stay and loved how the cottage was decorated. It had everything we needed to have a relaxing stay. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch, thank you x

I would like to congratulate the owner of the property Maplebeck , it was amazing how wonderful everything was from the well stocked utensils even a slow cooker to all the wonderful information material on local walk's etc and the wonderful welcome basket how thoughtful was that also the outstanding decor and accessories it really felt like home from home and it was very clean .

This is one of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in and we had the best view's of the river and the viaduct and feeding the duck's were very enjoyable ,we will definitely be booking again very soon ,a super holiday just what the doctor ordered .

What a lovely cottage and amazing experience.

Fab for families and I would definitely stay here again.

We had a fabulous week at Maplebeck.

The house was lovely, in an absolutely fantastic location. We particularly liked the fact that you were within walking distance of Whitby (on the cinder path) It was well equipped and so cosy. We had a lovely welcome hamper. We would definitely recommend the place.

Lovely little gem , picturesque location , Furnished lovely and well equipped Clean but just needs a good dusting on items especially since covid etc Would definitely return

Beautiful cottage, great location.

Stayed at this property before and noticed a marked improvement from our last stay. Would highly recommend people to stay.

Fantastic place, will definitely return…

If I had to pick fault I feel I should mention how awkward the doors were to unlock and open ,a frail person would struggle.

Probably because they are wood and it's been very damp.

Maplebeck was a lovely place to stay.

The location was perfect, on the Riverside with lovely views of the river from the balcony. The cottage was comfortable, and so well equipped. There were lots of thoughtful extras, such as Christmas decorations and trees, a welcome pack, a torch for nighttime dog walking, a lovely second lounge with a balcony, a king sized bed, blankets and throws, I could go on!

On our arrival the cottage was immaculate with a beautiful welcome basket & lots of lovely lights.

It looked amazing - it is beautifully decorated & had everything we needed. The adult bunk beds really are adult size! The cottage is well situated with easy access to what was the old Whitby to Scarborough railway line which is great for dog walking, running or cycling. It’s a short walk into Whitby across the viaduct or you can follow the track to Robin Hood’s Bay or further to Ravenscar or even Scarborough. We enjoyed our stay so much, we are going to return next year. Owing to storm Arwen & the A66 being closed, I was unable to get back to Scotland for 2 days & Lisa was kind enough to let me stay on for 2 days FOC which was so very kind. A great little cottage!

Brilliantly refurbished we have stayed at Maplebeck many times in the past, the cottage is fantastic just by the River Esk, there seals swimming in the river and the ducks call everyday to be fed.

its only about a mile into Whitby along the Cinder Track. We had a fabulous time. Thank You.

GreT little house, couple of things need addressing i.

e. front door sticks, back door hard to open, bathroom sealant grubby but all quick fixes. Such a nice welcome gift left for us and house in great location. Loved the viaduct walk to Whitby. Very comfy bed and great stay overall thank you.

The third time we have stayed here but the cleanliness is now an issue.

Black mould on tiles in shower, between the shower tray and the glass isn’t clean again mould and lime scale. The bottom of the door frame in the bathroom needs repairing and painting. Radio didn’t work even though tested label said it worked in June. All of the skirting boards need a good wipe and the glass on both sets of french doors need a clean (definitely ruined the lovely views). Even though we were happy with the price we paid this year I certainly would not be happy with the £400 increase for the same week next year. A shame for the poor up keep and the price changing dramatically, therefore will not be returning for the forth year.

We had a lovely week in Whitby in this gorgeous cottage

This is a return visit to this cottage and once again we had a great holiday.

A few upgrades have been made such as the beautiful flooring. We could not ask for a more idyllic setting or comfortable surroundings, so cannot recommend this cottage highly enough.

Lovely cottage with everything you could possibly need.

very close to the river and you can sit outside and watch the wildlife all day. For train lovers you can see the steam trains passing on the other side of the river. Beautiful walks into Whitby on the tinder paths. Only down side is the very steep hill you have to walk up to get to the trail but you can cheat and drive your car to the top of the bank if you can't manage it. Would definitely visit again.

maplebeck is a very good place to stop and relax and rewind from todays fast pace of life.

ideal for walking and all amenities around the area.

Beautiful location

Amazing place to come to relax with excellent views of the river and wildlife.

All amenities that anyone would require for a comfy stay and within comfortable walking distance from town.

Maplebeck is in a lovely quiet setting next to the river.

Everything was perfect. Look forward to visiting again.

Weve enjoyed holidaying at Captain Cooks Haven/Larpool 7 times in 6 years so as you can see, we really like the area.

Maplebeck is a clean, well equipped, comfortable, quiet and welcoming house. Its the sort of place we would love to own and enjoy much more but the overtime rate doesn't stretch to this. However, once or twice a year will be fine, for now. Highly recommended and not far to walk or drive into Whitby. 5 stars.

The cottage is really well situated for walking into Whitby or out into the countryside.

We enjoyed sitting out on the veranda watching the birds on the river and seeing how the river changed when the tide came in or out. The house itself is really nicely done out and equipped with plenty of space. Our week at Maplebeck was great!

There was only one thing that i think the owner should make sure the cleaners clean the floors properly.

There was pet fur on the downstairs floors.

Ideal holiday cottage in a wonderful location.

All our needs were catered for, including everything we needed for our dog - a home away from home. Welcome package much appreciated after a long journey. Great view of the Tidal River Esk and it’s entertaining wildlife from the downstairs lounge and the upstairs TV/second bedroom - both with patio doors leading to outdoor seating areas. The impressive Larpool Viaduct mesmerises when relaxing in the large garden area at the front of the property. Car parking at the back door. Situated close to country pubs, supermarkets and beautiful country walks. Short drive into Whitby with its many historic attractions, speciality shops and activities - including a variety of boat trips. Dogs are welcome in the vast majority of cafes and restaurants.

lovely location, had all amenities and more.

beds were comfy, only thing I thought could have been improved is the cleanliness, not quite up to standard.

The house was lovely, clean and comfortable - had everything supplied for an enjoyable stay.

Little extras like dog bowls and blankets were a thoughtful touch. Great location next to river and able to walk easily into Whitby or drive to nearby beaches. The wine, biscuits and fudge was a lovely touch. Beds really comfortable. Couldn’t have asked for more. Recommended.
