Mr Collins
Lovely old cottage in the heart of Whitby. Well equipped and clean, owner was very helpful and responsive with a slight issue we had. Just be aware that the cottage is situated down an alley off a road with very limited parking. Overall we were very happy with our stay and wouldn't hesitate to book again.

A comfortable, charming, old cottage with a good central location ideal for the bus and railway stations, shops, restaurants and river walks. There are a few drawbacks such as the approach is not very attractive and the stairs are somewhat tricky for the very young and very old - a lot of care is needed. However it is warm, has a lot of original features, having two toilets is a definite bonus and there is a good view of Whitby Abbey from the bathroom.

Main website says most properties provide towels unless otherwise stated. This property didn’t provide towels but this wasn’t very clear in email correspondence.
