    “We had a lovely stay at the cottage.”

    Which was cosy and comfortable. For us however the lack of washing machine and dishwasher was a negative. As was only one toilet/bathroom. There was no welcome pack of basics (soap, washing up liquid, uht milk, coffee, tea etc.) We have always had these basics in other holiday cottages. I would imagine you are supposed to provide a small soap at sinks? It was almost like it had been forgotten. There was a label and socks in the front bedroom wardrobe so that clearly had not been thoroughly ...

There was a label and socks in the front bedroom wardrobe so that clearly had not been thoroughly cleaned. Also nowhere near enough hangers in any of the rooms. The beds were small and not comfy, but this is something I need to check more closely another time. The location was ideal and we love Whitby so overall had a great holiday.

    Thank you for your review, firstly a washing machine and dishwasher are not advertised with this property, as you can appreciate there is no room in the kitchen for either appliances. It also clearly states there is ONLY one bathroom, so I can only apologise that you thought there would be another. We don’t provide a welcome pack for weekend stays unfortunately. I can only apologise about the cleanliness, this is down to the cleaning company and I will address this with them. We will take on board the hanger situation, there was plenty so I can only presume they have gone missing and I will have to replace them! Beds I’m afraid are personal preference and we are sorry they are not to your liking and your stay wasn’t comfortable. Property Owner

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.
