Only thing was no tin opener or oven gloves. Fab location with parking which is always a bonus in Whitby. Would definitely recommend.

Beds very comfortable after long walks on the beach and trips along the coast. House situated in a quiet area with fabulous views from the kitchen window across the golf course to Sandsend and beyond - was spectacular watching the snow come over the land down to the sea - Pub across the road served excellent meals too Plans to update the property would improve the facilities but hopefully not increase the cost so to loose current customers. We hope to be back in 2025

Scenery is stunningly beautiful towards Sandsend, imho only spoiled by golf course! Lots of things were provided, most worked most of the time. Local folk were mostly very friendly and helpful, such as the maintenance men and Costcutter shop. It cannot be easy renting out a holiday home in these expensive & demanding times; as other renters have pointed out, converting this former guest house needs much investment (as does Whitby), obviously some has been done, some maybe still to do. We have stayed at some better Sykes and other cottages, but overall this met most of our needs for the price.
