    “All 3 beds in this property are absolutely horrendous to sleep on.”

    The rest of the property is first class, amazing in every way, clean, spacious and everything is there that you would ever need in a self catering accommodation. It’s just a shame that the double bed mattress, and both singles are very thin, you can feel every spring sticking in you when you lie on them, noisy even when keeping still, just breathing you can hear the springs and if you sit on the bed, you sink into the floor.

    The rest of the property is first class, amazing in every way, clean, spacious and everything is there that you would ever need in a self catering accommodation. It’s just a shame that the double bed mattress, and both singles are very thin, you can feel every spring sticking in you when you lie on them, noisy even when keeping still, just breathing you can hear the springs and if you sit on the bed, you sink into the floor. Both my wife and myself had to spend the week sleeping on the sofa taking it in turns with the recliner chair. It really did spoil out weeks holiday as we didn’t have a descent night sleep at all. We spend 6 weeks a year traveling around this country in self catering accommodation and this one was the worst for a good night sleep. We did email Yorkshire Costal Cottages while we were staying in this accommodation but they never got back to us so we are disappointed in Yorkshire Costal Cottages too.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that you found the beds uncomfortable as the mattresses have recently been replaced; we will add some toppers. It's a shame that you didn't pop into the Yorkshire Coastal Cottages office, you would have passed it each time you left our property. You would have found the girls very welcoming and helpful.

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.
