Everything had been thought of and we wanted for nothing. The welcome hamper was superb! The only thing I would say that could be better is that the sofa is very low and laid back, saying that we didnât use it much as we were out exploring most of the time.

. Superb location, parking was easy and the facilities within the cottage were excellent. Plenty of hot water and the showers were great. Comfy beds, loved the sociable sofa.. Maybe the addition of a dvd/cd player would be great addition... The owners have done a fabulous job on the renovations... Just one point of note, was that when we arrived the cottage was quite cold.. I adjusted the heating but it took ages to heat up in the lounge area, though we did go out for dinner for a couple of hours, upon our return the lounge was quite cosy..... Also we could not find the guests book to fill in.... We will return.. Rob, Jax, Steve and Gill, from Lincoln.

It's very modern & comfortable. I couldn't fault anything about the place. Location is great but as with most cottages/accommodation in Whitby, it's on a hill. The yard space is shared with 2 other properties but you have your own little corner with a bistro table & chairs.
