    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Helen - Verified booking

      We had a great time at Fauna’s Corner, it is situated in Captains Cooks Haven, which is quiet and peaceful and within easy walking distance to the centre of Whitby.

      Our first impressions were of a well presented cottage, the kitchen is small but has all the appliances that you need, the fridge is old and rusty at the bottom of the door and needed defrosting. There were most things that we needed to cook a meal but we had to go buy a coffee maker as there wasn’t one provided also there wasn’t a colander for draining vegetables, pasta etc. The lounge and bedrooms were comfortable and well presented although surfaces were dusty. The bathroom was the room that let the whole place down, the hand basin is cracked and is set really low down. The shower is over the bath, but is very low as the roof slopes over the bath, I could only just stand up in the bath with my head touching the ceiling, at its highest setting the water from the shower head reached the middle of my shoulder blades, in order to get washed successfully the shower head has to be removed from the holder and hand held, washing my hair was a nightmare. I am 5’ 7” but my husband is 6’ 2” so he had more problems when showering, in fact he called it his daily limbo dance! We could have had a bath but that is very small too. The owners have tried very hard to make the cottage stylish and comfortable but for me I think fewer pictures and trimmings with the money spent on updating the bathroom would improve things greatly.

      I so wanted to write a fantastic review as upon arrival we were delighted with the cottage.

      The area is outstanding, the cottage is in a lovely position and initially we really found the cottage comfortable, bright and welcoming. There were 4 adults and one baby and there was space and comfort for all . However as the first day unfolded we found we had to wash the kitchen equipment, the light switches were sticky with dirt , the bathroom sink was cracked , you could not shower properly as the ceiling sloped down , there were not enough glasses for water or cider etc , the grill tray for the grill pan did not fit , really annoying. We had paid £900 for our 3 nights , I understand we payed more than usual as it was a special event weekend in Whitby, however I would have thought this afforded us the luxury of more than one toilet roll for 4 people !! The surprising thing was the owners very generously left us a superb bottle of gin , tonic waters and chocolates, but I wish they’d have spent the money on toiletries and glasses . I’m sorry to write this as we had a fabulous time and if these issues were addressed we would go back again .

    • Sarah - Verified booking

      We were very disappointed with this property as it was in need of a deep clean!

      It was very grubby and had a fishy/fusty aroma! I'm not sure where to begin but to name a few, the toilet had urine and hairs on it, there was damp on the walls and ceilings and the kettle was so dirty we did not even want to make a cup of tea with it. The bed was so uncomfortable, we both had bad backs the next day - we may as well have slept on the floor! Cleanliness is not a luxury, it is a basic requirement and clean it was not! The booking for 3 nights was not cheap but it was so bad we left after the first night and made a booking elsewhere which was not what I expected to have to do on my birthday weekend away! We were disgusted that the owner refused a partial/full refund, had we known the state of the property, we would have never have booked it. I have never had to complain nor leave a bad review for a holiday before and I only wish I could upload the photos I took as evidence to show you how bad it was compared to the photos used for advertising!

    • Kylie - Verified booking

      We had a wonderful stay at Martindale Cottage & wouldn't hesitate to return in the future.

      Overall lovely accommodation, the only critique we had was the cleanliness when we noted a £350 service charge for cleaning. When we arrived there were lots of long hairs and dust around the white marble flooring in the unsuite, lot's of crumbs left in the bottom on the oven and the rug in the lounge was slippery under our feet so moved for comfort but found alot of sand and dust underneath. We shook the rug outside and tidied up with the dustpan and brush so it wasn't an issue, but we assumed perhaps it had been quickly over turned as we felt things had been missed. It was lovely to have a welcome pack. A well throughout outbtreats for humans and pet owners. My only feedback was the lack of sugar, salt etc in the kitchen which all other places usually provide. On a whole, the house and outdoor space was lovely, and the tree blowing outside the bedroom window in the sunlight with the view of fields was a wellbeing treat. Thanks for a lovely stay ♡

    • Rachel - Verified booking

      We were expecting the slight challenges in dropping off the luggage and the steep staircase - the listing info was accurate.

      Understand the shared walkway to the cottage is not the owners's sole responsibility but it really is terrible, lined with tall weeds, very littered and generally extremely scruffy. Cottage itself was very clean, top floor beautiful. Some bathroom tiles getting a little mouldy. As a self catering cottage we were expecting to be able to sit at a dining table to eat but there were no chairs, and only 3 easy chairs so for families of 4 presumably someone would be sitting on the floor. The back garden was incredibly weedy, the garden furniture could do with rubbing down and re-treating - it just felt unloved and in need of a little TLC. The TV upstairs was not tuned in and we could only watch Netflix or similar. These are just some honest observations. The cottage is well-equipped, was clean, lovely bed linen and the top floor is great. It was good to note the owners had observed some of the visitors comments (yes we found the Prosecco glasses!)
