Guests say
Barn Owl is a well-received cottage, praised for its cleanliness, high-quality fittings, and cosy atmosphere. Guests enjoyed the convenient location for exploring Staithes and Whitby, with some mentioning the added luxury of a hot tub. The property is described as well-equipped and comfortable, providing a relaxing stay. While most feedback is positive, a few minor issues were noted, but they do not detract from the overall excellent impression.
Guests consistently noted the property as 'spotlessly clean', indicating a high standard of cleanliness. The frequent mention of this aspect suggests great attention to detail in maintaining the property.
The location is generally praised for its proximity to Staithes, Whitby, and local attractions. However, one review mentioned a noisy road and an industrial view, which slightly impacts the score.
The majority of guests found the cottage warm, cosy, and comfortable, with high-quality furnishings. One guest mentioned a hard bed, but this seems to be an isolated opinion.
Facilities are highly regarded, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen, super bathrooms, and a hot tub. A few minor issues were raised, such as the lack of a cheese grater and squeegee, which slightly lower the score.
While guests appreciated welcome gifts and the helpfulness of the host, there is not enough information to determine if such thoughtfulness is consistent across all stays. Therefore, it is politely noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

Mrs Sutcliffe
A lovely property which has all the things you need for a relaxing break. Hosts were available if needed but as the property has been well thought out and presented we didn't need them! Definitely recommend.
