    “We enjoyed our holiday and Port Mulgrave was beautiful with lovely clifftop walks from the doorstep.”

    We were lucky to have great weather to explore the area. We would recommend Port Mulgrave for a base to explore Whitby and the North York Moors. The cottage: The kitchen is very narrow which is not apparent from the pictures. It is so narrow that two people cannot pass each other making using the kitchen as a couple pretty tricky. In addition, the fridge is not large enough for two people's food for a few days and the freezer box does not open - there is an additional fridge/freezer in the ...

    We were lucky to have great weather to explore the area. We would recommend Port Mulgrave for a base to explore Whitby and the North York Moors. The cottage: The kitchen is very narrow which is not apparent from the pictures. It is so narrow that two people cannot pass each other making using the kitchen as a couple pretty tricky. In addition, the fridge is not large enough for two people's food for a few days and the freezer box does not open - there is an additional fridge/freezer in the under stairs cupboard but this is not close to the kitchen so making a quick drink for example is also tricky. Heating: the owners control the heating remotely and it cannot be changed. The boiler is also locked away. There are no radiators in the main room - there is a log burner but you would have to buy your own fuel as only enough provided for one night (if that). There is under floor heating in the kitchen and main room but it is also set and controlled by the owners and locked. The under floor heating in the main room did not come on at all during our stay even though the temperature of the room was 16/17 degrees Celsius by the room thermostat. Parking: there is no parking outside the cottage in reality - the lane is so narrow that a car parked outside Daffodil Cottage would block it for any other access. The road at the front of the cottage has double yellows all the way down. The best bet is to park further up Rosedale Lane but this will be quite a way from the cottage and is not guaranteed. The advert does say this but we wanted to make it clear that parking on the lane outside the cottage is not viable and the other parking is at least a 5 minute walk, which when unloading/ loading the car is not ideal.
