lovely cottage well updated and clean. Only problems are outside the control of the cottqge and its proprietors. Firstly the absence of car access and of parking and secondly of the steps up to the cottage. With two ' blue badge' holders in a party of three these were quite serious setbacks, but offset by the very central location

Beautiful cottage, situated in the heart of Whitby. Lovely well equipt kitchen and comfortable and cosy lounge. We were so happy to go back there after a day out. The bathroom is beautiful and both bedrooms have the most comfy beds. Overall I would highly recommend this cottage and we would love to come back. The owners were so lovely too.
