Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently mention that the cottage is extremely clean, with several reviews highlighting its spotlessness. The high level of cleanliness contributes to the overall positive experience.
The central location is frequently praised for its proximity to local amenities, the beach, and the Old Town Centre. Despite some initial difficulty finding the property, its location is considered a massive plus.
The comfort of the beds and the size of the bedrooms are often mentioned positively. However, some guests note that the living area can be tight for four adults and suggest additional showers for convenience.
Facilities are generally well-received, with modern bathrooms and kitchen, and tech amenities like Wi-Fi and phone chargers. Some reviews suggest improvements such as a larger shower cubicle and additional storage. Maintenance issues like a fridge tray and window operation are minor detractors.
Guests are charmed by thoughtful gestures such as milk and cookies on arrival and a welcome pack. While these gifts enhance the experience, it's important to note that such extras, while appreciated, may vary and are not guaranteed.
About this property
Ashben Cottage is a delightful town house, hidden within the charming streets of Whitby. This homely open-plan living space is a great location for families or groups of four that seek an exciting stay in the historic town that inspired the gripping tale of Dracula. Envision yourself moving through the charming courtyard and being greeted by the airy open-plan living space as you step in. Store your coat and shoes in the boot room before taking a seat and mapping out your plans for the days to come. Wander over to the fully-fitted kitchen where you will find everything needed to create some mouth-watering meals for the group; gather your ingredients from the cupboards and begin to prepare a hearty home-cooked meal whilst you chat to your friends sitting on the sofas as they scroll through the channels on the Smart TV and find a movie for you all to enjoy following your meal. Climb the staircase up to the first floor and make yourself at home in one of the lovely bedrooms by unpacking your belongings into the storage provided. The first of the bedrooms is a spacious super-king that can be transformed into two single beds upon request, whilst the second bedroom is home to a double bed and features its very own en-suite shower room. It is on this floor that you will also find a tranquil bathroom where you can while away an hour in the bath tub. Make the most of the courtyard when the sun is shining by dining alfresco around the patio table. Venture into the centre of town and stumble upon a number of idyllic local gift shops and welcoming cafes as you make your way toward the beach for a stroll along the soft sands. Be impressed by the twenty-foot Whalebone Arch and hike the 199 steps that lead up to iconic ruins of Whitby Abbey admiring the beautiful views along the way, stopping off at Caedmon Memorial and the Church of St Mary.

However, once discovered we were delighted with the interior of your lovely accommodation. Such a comfortable bed, with good quality bedding. The lower of the two showers needs a fixing replacing. We got the hang of the trendy blinds eventually! The touch lights were fun! It took us a while to find things in the kitchen - stupidly, only found salt and pepper when packing up to leave! - and thought deeper cereal/pudding bowls would be a useful addition. But we were very warm, comfortable and soon relaxed in this lovely cottage. Many thanks.

Really clean and comfy. On arrival we were welcomed with biscuits from Bothams bakery which were lovely. Parking scratch cards are provided and we dropped on a great parking space in the W zone just up from the cottage which was an added bonus. Would recommend this cottage
