This cottage really is a home away from home, has all the facilities and comfort you need. Great location in the old town of whitby. The entrance to get the car down is tight but doable for a suzuki s-cross, which is what I was driving. Had a lovely stay x

One adult has mobility issues and we can drive up to the front of the cottage to park the car then enter the cottage. The ground floor is accessible for someone using a walking stick. There is plenty of room to move around the ground floor. There is only one set of stairs with two rails to assist. The cottage was clean and welcoming. The town is nearby. We had a lovely week in Whitby.
