Wi-Fi: Free Wi-Fi included.
Utilities: All utilities, bed linens and towels are provided.
Pets: Pet-friendly; up to 2 dogs are welcome at £30 per pet per stay. Note – during January and February, there’s a special offer of one dog is welcome free of charge; a second dog is charged at £30 per stay
Parking: Parking scratch card/s provided for 24/7 on-street parking on West Cliff. On-street parking also available c. 200 yards away on a first come first served basis, also Pay & Display car park close by approximately £6 per day.
Two things:
1) Car parking is difficult, although the owners left parking "scratch cards" they failed to mention where the appropriate parking zones actually were - they took a bit of finding.
2) The property is very old and, as a consequence, has very uneven floors and two flights of stairs within - anyone with mobility issues would have struggled in the property.
Mr Allen
Great location not far from the car park (if you can find a space) very clean and really comfy beds. Lots of living space
Mr Linfoot
The property was great, very convenient for bars, restaurants, shops and other amenities. It was well equipped and comfortable. With that convenience though come a couple of drawbacks that could have been made clearer in the description; early morning noise and parking. Every morning from 06:00 street cleaners, refuse collectors and assorted commercial vehicles pass, and stop outside of, the property. As the master bedroom is at the front this is quite disturbing. Parking is also not straightforward; yes, the property comes with permits but the permit parking is on the other side of the river and is always very busy. The nearest car park is also busy, it was hit or miss as to whether a space would come free. Neither issue spoiled our holiday, but they could have been made clearer in the description however. The description also mentions a hamper of Yorkshire produce would be left for us on arrival, it wasn’t, this could be related to the current situation but again an explanatory note or updated description would have helped.
Mr Owen
Although provided with parking vouchers the zone is very far away and parking in Whitby is very expensive and challenging to find spaces. The central location and flat were great though can be noisy due to location but parking was .ain negative issue.
Mr Campbell
We loved the quirkiness of the cottage. We had everything we needed. It was in a brilliant location, close to all amenities. Very clean. The welcome pack was very much appreciated.
Mrs Gaines

Mr Webster
Excellent location in Whitby, close to all the amenities. Property was clean and well furnished. We would definitely recommend this property.
Mr Richardson
We did love this cottage and the location was amazing. Beds were so comfy and linens and towels lovely and clean. Nice a spacious for family gatherings. We thought the welcome basket was a lovely touch. However, we had an 11 month old baby and my grandmother who walks with a crutch with us, and the stairs leading to the property posed a problem. They were mentioned when booking, however I think it should really state how steep they are, as there was no pram access, and my grandma really struggled getting in and out even tho she is an able walker. Check in and out was far to late and early considering the keys need picking up and dropping off the other side of whitby. We were told the late check in was due to the cottage needing to be cleaned after guests which is fine, but to be fair, lots of previous guests items were in the cottage, so leads us to believe the cleaning wasnt that thorough. Location again we loved so nice to sit and watch the world go by in the cosy living room, however the noise was so bad, I understand it's an old cottage and restrictions might be in place for windows etc, but staying in a cottage which is sold as child friendly this surely should be a factor as it was far too noisy. So much so myself, husband and parents didnt sleep much at all during our entire 3 night stay. We did love the quirky feel of the cottage, and would stay again if it was just adults and able bodied people, however I dont think its suitable for small children and elderly people.
Ms Lumley
We have stayed at this cottage many times before because great cottage, great location, great service.
Not a problem for us at all but as an old cottage it is quite noisy from the street.
Mr Dixon
Foresters house is a lovely cottage, perfectly situated in Whitby. The only minor problem we encountered was there was no drying facilities for clothes, and parking is a bit of a nightmare, but neither of these would prevent me from returning to the house.
Miss Sibson
We had a fantastic time in Whitby, Foresters House was lovely, clean and spacious. The location was brilliant. And thank you for the grocery starter bag, much appreciated........Dawn Shepherdson x
Mrs Shepherdson
The property desperately needs updating, in particular the front double bedroom should be double glazed. The extractor fan in the en-suite is not working and no fire escape as only one entrance via the kitchen and all windows locked or bolted. Parking facilities in Whitby were confusing and cost of parking near the property very expensive. We were woken up early every morning by delivering drivers reversing alarms and engines and it was sometimes noisy at night with people talking and shouting outside. We don’t think the property was top end as advertised. The position was great being central, beds were comfortable and the lounge well furnished with comfortable settees. We loved Whitby and enjoyed exploring the Moors and coastal areas but would not want to stay in this property again.

Miss Robinson
The accommodation is in a fantastic spot, ideally placed for Whitby being in the centre of the old town. The accommodation however is very tired in places and needs an update.
Mr Kelly
Beautiful quirky cottage. Ideally situated for all amenities. Would definitely return again.

The Griffiths Family
We have had a great time exploring Whitby. The weather was amazing - very sunny! Climbed the 199 Steps and visited the Abbey. Walkd along the pier and found you can climb the light house. Had great fish and chips at Trenchers near the station. Lovely breakfast just on the next street down at Jane's Cafe. Managed to get out to Robin Hood's Bay and look for fossils and caught the steam train from Goathland to Pickering Foresters House has been a great place to stay, perfect location and had everything we needed. Thank you.

We’ve had a fantastic week here at Foresters House. The house itself was beautifully clean when we arrived and the welcome pack of key supplies was a very thoughtful touch. This has served as a great base for our trip. We would definitely recommend the cottage and Whitby for a great holiday and would come back.
Shroud Family and Friends
We've had a lovely stay at Foresters House. We can thoroughly recommend Eden Camp, North Yorks Railway, Sandsend and Robin Hood's Bay. We love Whitby - the old town and small yards are stunning, very pretty. We would love to return.
The Taylor Family
What a lovely, charming cottage - in an excellent central location in Whitby. Nice to see so many original features, sympathetically retained - a real home from home for us. Enjoyed Whitby itself but also Staithes, Robin Hood's Bay and Castle Howard!
