Most guests found the property clean and tidy, with fresh towels and bedding provided. However, several reviews mention cobwebs, musty smells, and occasional missed cleaning in the kitchen and bathrooms, indicating some inconsistency.
The location is highly praised for its peaceful setting, proximity to Whitby (20–25 minute walk), and access to scenic walks and dog-friendly areas. Some guests found it slightly further from town than ideal, but overall feedback is very positive.
Guests appreciated the spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and cosy atmosphere. However, repeated comments about uncomfortable or worn sofas and occasional mattress issues slightly detract from the overall comfort.

A lovely cottage... but smells musty in kitchen and downstairs toilet. The sofas in the lounge were terrible - need replacing! Easy solutions and would really make a difference. More hand towels needed as only 3 in total, none for washing hair if use for others hands. Hopefully owners take this feedback and make some changes.

The house was very well equipped, very spacious, and a great place to stay. The house accommodated all my family with room to spare. For guests with dogs, there is a brilliant dog walking field very close by. Parking for 4 cars easy. Highly recommended. We are looking to book again next year. P.S. Whitby is lovely.

Fabulous accommodation we had 3 adults and 2 children so just perfect for us but can easily accommodate 2 more without overcrowding. Beds super comfy. Had pretty much everything you need to self cater. Needed to wash some items before use but no big deal. Lovely and spacious lounge. The kids appreciated the toys and games. Parking is good right outside Aldi and Sainsbury’s a 5 min drive away It’s a good location. Park and ride into Whitby about 5 min drive away and most other attractions an hour to hour half away. Recommend the fish and chips from Papas. A must visit is Robin Hoods bay if your fit and able to get down the steep hill to the rock pools.
