Parking: Private parking for one/two cars outside the property.
A nice cottage which would be even nicer with a few improvements. As stated in a previous review, the boiler is incredibly noisy and we had to turn the heating off at night or it would have kept us awake. This wasn't too much of an issue as it wasn't cold but I can imagine it would be a problem during a cold spell. The cottage is mostly well equipped, the decoration stylish and the beds comfortable. It is let down however by the strange layout of the kitchen. This is a very large room for a smallish cottage and could easily have accommodated a dishwasher and good-size fridge/freezer. Instead, there is a whole bank of empty ktichen units on the far side, with a tiny stand-alone freezer on the counter-top and a small fridge underneath, with no dishwasher. It would also have been nice to have a wifi connection.

Generally nice. Bedrooms great.
Washing machine when drying sounds loud and worn.
Hob tricky to master and noisey beeping.
Boiler internal pump vibrates to excess. Had to turn boiler off each night to get to sleep. Electronic thermostat bit cryptic.
Downstairs shower squeals loudly, in use, the sound resonates through whole property, it likely requires a bubble trap/vent required for a thermostatic mixer shower in the hot feed.
Dusty around radio speakers in living room.
Front door rotting, flaking paint/putty. Sash windows tight to raise, suspect wet swollen timber. There were 12 cars in the car park every day, often double parked.
Front of car park has slumped and will likely catastophically fall down hill following heavy rainfall.

Great location and easy parking for two cars. The cottage had everything we needed but I think some attention to the window blinds is needed to make all the bedrooms darker to be able to sleep better, also attention needed to cleaning of certain areas of the cottage. We did have a good week in Whitby, with a nice welcome pack from Yorkshire Coast Cottages and fantastic weather. We recommend Yorkshire Coast Cottages, the staff in the office were great.
