Guests say

Sea Change is a well-received holiday cottage in Whitby, praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and peaceful location. Guests appreciate the secure garden for pets, the well-equipped facilities, and the thoughtful touches like a welcome pack. While there are some minor concerns about maintenance and the accuracy of local amenities, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many guests planning to return.

The majority of guests found the cottage to be spotlessly clean and well-maintained, contributing to a comfortable stay. However, a few guests mentioned issues with cleanliness, such as dirty cupboards and a full vacuum cleaner, which slightly impacts the overall score.

The cottage's location is highly praised for its tranquillity and proximity to local attractions like beaches and countryside views. It is also noted for being dog-friendly and close to Whitby. The only drawback mentioned is the closure of a nearby pub, which was previously advertised as an amenity.

Guests consistently report that the cottage is comfortable, with a light and airy atmosphere, quiet surroundings for sound sleep, and well-equipped for a relaxing stay. The presence of a log burner and secure garden adds to the overall comfort.

The property is generally well-equipped with entertainment options, a secure garden, and a garage. However, some guests noted issues with maintenance, such as blown windows and a lack of kitchen blinds, which suggests room for improvement in this category.

While guests have mentioned a welcome pack and other considerate touches, there is not enough consistent information about gifts to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such thoughtful gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

This charming, semi-detached cottage of Sea Change rests in Newholm near Whitby, North Yorkshire. It is within North York Moors National Park so a family of six can enjoy great walks and explore the countryside while also being within reach of the coast. The first thing you will notice when you enter the home is the wonderful living room, with two sofas and a TV to keep everyone entertained; the woodburning stove adds a warm glow to the room. After unwinding for a little bit, head to the kitchen/diner, a pleasant space offering stylish, white cabinets with wooden worktops which host a good selection of appliances to make tasty meals with. Once the chef of the group has fixed up a delicious dinner, enjoy it at the kitchen's table, which seats four, or as a larger affair at the living/dining room's six-seater table. As day turns to night, proceed upstairs to find three wonderful bedrooms; a double with a vanity area, another double with ample storage for your belongings, and a twin room. The bedrooms all rest near a fabulous, family bathroom, which not only features slate tiling but offers a bath with shower over, where soothing soaks can be savoured. One of the property's highlights is certainly its large, enclosed garden, where alfresco meals can be enjoyed under the trellis on the patio, whilst the kids play on the lawn! Treat yourself with a visit to the local tea room, Penny Clare, where you can even indulge in a craft gin, however, you can embark on a short drive into the town of Whitby to come across a range of welcoming eateries and well-stocked shops settled in one handy location, too! Whitby is also home to a beautiful harbour and an iconic abbey, both of which are waiting to be explored; venture down the 199 Steps from the abbey and tour the fascinating museum of Whitby, or unwind on the town's gorgeous beach, with Sandsend Beach being just a peaceful stroll away across fields via a footpath. For even more coastal fun, be sure to travel to Scarborough, a Victorian resort with plenty to offer, from the sights of Scarbrough Castle and Peasholm Park to the breathtaking ride of the Scarborough North Bay Railway and the vibrant beaches the town backs onto. Head inland to spend the day in Pickering, where the remains of Pickering Castle and tours around the Beck Isle Museum, along with access to the renowned amusement park of Flamingo Land Resort! If the outdoors is more your thing, be sure to make the most of the North York Moors National Park's amazing sights, or embark on a hike along The Cleveland Way to find more of the coastal delights resting along North Yorkshire's shores. A stay to remember awaits at Sea Change.

Whitby is a popular coastal resort town - a place where you can enjoy both a variety of attractions and a stretch of beautiful sandy beaches. Start your visit to Whitby with a stroll around the centre. You'll find plenty to see and do, from admiring the 199 Steps to shopping at the Whitby Seaside Emporium. There are also plenty of places to dine at, from traditional pubs to seaside cafes. If you're interested in the history of Whitby, you should check out the the iconic ruins of Whitby Abbey.

    Very well situated close to dog friendly beach at Sandsend and Whitby. Very impressed with the use of this garage. Lovely enclosed garden. Hope to visit again

  • Mandy

    I run my own cleaning business and I thought it was only surface clean the top of the fridge was dirty. I also didn't think it was good having the pots in the boiler cupboard as they smelt and tasted funny. Good do with a new frying pan as handle wasn't safe .But we had a great time and slept well and would go back. Thank you.

  • Bridget

    The location was just what we wanted, quiet but not far from Sandsend and Whitby. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. All rooms were beautifully presented and very comfortable. We will definitely consider returning for another stay, thank you
