Guests say
Island In The Stream is a much-loved cottage in Whitby, praised for its stunning riverside views, peaceful yet convenient location, and private parking. Guests consistently highlight its cleanliness, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable living spaces. The outdoor terrace is a favourite spot for relaxing and wildlife watching. While some mention minor issues such as firm mattresses, creaky floorboards, and a lack of clear instructions for appliances and recycling, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests returning year after year and recommending it to others.
Cleanliness is frequently praised, with several guests describing the cottage as exceptionally clean and well-maintained. Only rare minor issues, such as dirty spoons on arrival, were mentioned.
The location is a standout feature, with guests loving the riverside setting, easy walk to Whitby town centre, and tranquil atmosphere. The private parking is also highly valued.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with cosy beds and sofas, though a few mention the main double bed as being quite firm and note creaky floorboards upstairs.
The cottage is well-equipped for self-catering and offers good amenities, including outdoor space and parking. Some guests would appreciate clearer instructions for appliances and more cleaning materials.
Guests appreciate early check-in and occasional welcome packs, but note that gifts such as biscuits are not guaranteed. Suggestions include providing a comprehensive welcome folder and more basic supplies.
