    Lovely cosy cottage in Whitby - good for a family of four

    Lovely cottage. It's small but just what we needed for a family of four. Cozy seating area, good kitchen, comfortable bedrooms. It was very clean with good instructions on how to sort out things like heating. Great location in Whitby too!

    There was supposed to be a parking scratch card to allow for free parking which we couldn’t find, so we ended up paying for 2 days parking

    Fantastic location, small but well appointed

    Very steep stairs leading to the bedrooms, we could have been informed prior to arrival where the parking bays were, as we paid in advance for parking then when we got to the cottage there was permits to park for free, but only in certain streets

    Fantastic location

    Comfortable cottage.Great location on harbourside.Convenient for shops and most of resort attractions.

    The property redefines the word 'cosy'. The ground floor is very, very, very small. With two small children it wasn't easy.

    The location is superb and paying for parking at the station is well worth doing.

    A few to many cobwebs around and about, and the place felt damp until we worked out how to manage the electric heaters. Didn't like being woken at 1/2am by people passing after last orders at the pubs at the end of the yard.

    We liked the location, central to everything!! We like how cosy and comfortable it was too.

    Space very limited (but name indicated this would be the case) 2 couches not particularly comfy for 4 adults . If you are a light sleeper and on the upper floor the noise from the local night club and early morning seagull chorus may disturb you.

    Superb location for harbour and all amenities. Clean and well equipped cottage.

    Shame about all the cigarette ends on the entrance down the alley which probably was to do with the pub on the corner there was also a lot of water coming from the drain of the cottage next door which gave a unpleasant smell at times

    Location was great cosy little cottage everything we needed very quiet nicely decorated
