    “Very comfy beds, short walk to Whitby, everything you need, welcome pack we used all of it, after reading file for departure didn’t say about stripping the beds (apologies for not doing it) only read email when home.”

    Garden on a slope and lots of bramble trailers which I moved out of the way, outside light not working, downstairs windows don’t open can get very warm in house, no jacuzzi, bathroom has been refurbished apart from this I would return to this cottage

    - Jacqueline, August 2026

    Thank you for your feedback. Glad you liked the property and are thinking of returning. Sorry you had an issue with the outside lights. Upon investigation I found that they had been switched off by a previous guest and not switched back on again upon them leaving the property. I have since put a notice up asking that they be left swicthed on. Brambles in the garden are a constant problem. I personally try and get up every 3 weeks to cut the grass and cut back brambles etc, but its incredible how quickly they grow back at the height of the growing season. Sadly both jaccuzi baths had to be replaced as they were getting old and becoming difficult to maintain. Any reference to them has now been removed from the listing. Guests had also been requesting a shower so the opportunity to fit one was taken while replacing of one of the original Jacuzzi baths as part of the bathroom renovations. Thanks again for your feedback and hope to see you back again soon. Ŕegards, Jon (cottage owner) Property Owner

About the location

WHITBY

Robin Hood's Bay 5.5 miles; Scarborough 19.3 miles; Pickering 23 miles; Guisborough 21.5 miles.

The seaside town and port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire. Ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire, the local area hosts an array of activities so you can be sure to get the best out of both the countryside and the coast. From the nearby North York Moors to its Blue Flag beaches, there's something here for everyone. Amongst its many attractions, Whitby holds a charming atmosphere, home to winding streets and hidden alleys, where you can find a wide selection of eateries and shops scattered amongst them. Take a trip to the picturesque harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun set or get involved in some whale watching or a coastal cruise to watch the creatures up close. Climb the famous 199 steps to the Whitby Abbey to immerse yourself with history, or visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum presenting historical and ethnographic exhibition about Cook himself. Close to the Robin Hood's Bay, rich in heritage, wonders and scenic spots, and in easy reach of the bustling towns of Scarborough and Middlesbrough, Whitby is a prime location for exploring all of the delights that Yorkshire has to offer.
